CALLING THE COPS ON ME WON'T SHUT DOWN DOWN THIS DEBATE
Column Calling in the Press Council to stop me telling the truth about immigration won't work. I don't recognise the authority of this compromised body to censor debate. And screaming "racist" at me won't work, either. There is nothing racist about worrying how "races" now tend to cluster in the same suburbs. Read on.
No Andrew Bolt calling the cops on hate speech where there is no debate just a load loose, false facts not backed by either history or experience just abuse and vilification camouflaged behind the false flag of "free speech".It doesn't hide the racism or the ethnocentricity of a person handed corporate media resources to broadcast opinion over fact that others don't have. That's what Bolt calls debate. Remember when he broadcast he was more Indigenous than the likes of Adam Goodes.
" I do not recognise its moral right to shut down debate and will not co-operate with it. No official body should interfere in the exchange of opinions that distinguishes us from a tyranny or a flock of sheep."Bolt
We are fully aware that deviants, fascists and outliers need to be culled from those Bolt calls "sheep," "us" the "we" it's why we have bodies like the APC. His argument that policing starts at our borders to look out for mutants among us actually applies to him. His own argument is so circular it applies to his own inability to integrate more than it applies to any singular migrant group.
It's time to shut the forces up, that close down debate. Those holding noses, their breath till blue in the face like the spoilt brats. Bolt has a megaphone which allows whose owner expects him to be the bullyboy he is. When history and observation simply deny the truth of what he's saying Bolt screaming victim. He waxes lyrical about retirement on a barge in his beloved Amsterdam which shows his stupidity.
That city along with countless others has experienced migration large mass or tidal whichever way Bolt wants speaks of it. It's a city with close to double the size of Melbourne with 9million people 51% of whom are foreign-born that is numerically Melbourne and 35% of whom are from non-Western backgrounds and they, 3 million, live in cultural and economic enclaves. Yes, Bolt's favourite place in the world is a city with more Africans, Indonesians and Asian people that Bolt says have a negative impact because they aren't Western. Yet he prefers Amsterdam more than Melbourne. It's more Socialist and even more left-wing but it's still the city of his choice where to end his days and they couldn't come fast enough for all of us.
Bolt is like the religious reformers of old on a soapbox telling the world to change and repent he and only he knows what's coming his faith has told him so. History observation science says otherwise but he is yelling with his back to the wall as if suffering a mental breakdown and says he's been deprived the freedom to debate.
Bolt's recent team of debaters which he gave a platform too were imports not even Australians Southern and Molyneaux whose racism stemmed from the 19th Century when speaking about Indigenous Australians history and Western Culture. No debate but sound bytes witnessed throughout history that Bolt applauded but would never have the balls to repeat because even he is too scared to yell.
History, observation, facts, all experienced by individuals, in cities like Amsterdam, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, prove him wrong. People flock there to live and as tourists. They amplify the opposite of what the preacher is yelling that "you don't belong".
The APC is an elected "we of" body of the Press, not the law but just an association. But then Bolt fails to recognize that "we". It's a pity it has no teeth which allow News Corp to give Bolt this voice and mock the meaning of "free speech". But then he's an indigenous Australian and not a migrant, isn't he?
UPDATE
Paul Murray like Andrew Bolt both use temporary residents to tell us permanent residents immigrants aren't wanted. They tell us of their concern about the economic management of this country yet Marray like Bolt wants the export of education stopped at the border. Those Chinese who pay to be educated along with the Indians stopped from entry. It's our 3rd largest export and they want it brought to a halt just as they do skilled labour politics come first way before the economy and in particular the services sector that feeds it. Simply because they hate the increased colour of the faces they see on our streets. Guess they will be calling for tourists to be checked at the door as well.
JOHN SPOONER VS THE SHUT-UPPERS
The Age - now a monoculture - made a big mistake in losing cartoonist John Spooner, whose new book What The Hell Was He Thinking is out.

Today's posts will be all about Bolt the victim of the "shut-uppers" trying to prove yet again he's the victim of the WE against ME. When he is the moderator of his blog posts which are meant to be his forum for what he calls debate. Bolt's got a megaphone but it's rarely seen in public.
DEFEND FREE SPEECH FROM THE NEW FASCISTS
Chris Mitchell on the new stormtroopers closing debate: "Today it is the storm troopers of the student Left and musicians and actors who lead a daily barrage of threats against people whose free thought they can’t tolerate." Latest victims: Lauren Southern, Germaine Greer, Bob Carr, the IPA and journalists who report on Sudanese crime.

SANDERS PROVES TRUMP RIGHT ABOUT 'FAKE NEWS' MEDIA
The Washington Post’s preposterous attempt last week to discredit White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders shows why Donald Trump is winning the war against the Fake News media. The Post attacks Sanders for saying a journalist wanted to "choke" her, when the journalist actually wanted to "wring her neck".

SOCIALISM COSTS
Socialism doesn't come cheap, you know, when you have to pay off the collective that got you elected: "The Victorian government’s spending on public servants has exploded by more than a quarter since Labor came to office — the fastest-growing wages bill of any Australian government ahead of November’s state election."

Why is it he prefers to dream of retirement in the Netherlands than here it's just one of Europes 10 plus Democratic Socialist countries who don't argue over the cost of the fundamental rights of it's citizens to basic State services like Childcare, Housing, Education, Health, Welfare etc. Everything Andrew Bolt denies here and fights to be privatised under the guise of individual freedoms. The costs are accepted there and not simply seen as such but it's a community responsibility accepted by all its citizens but denied and battled over here. Bolt even digs shallow and turns to what America is out of necessity turning away from the notion that Socialism Costs it liberates the individual and provides real equity, not just opportunity based on birth inheritance and social climbing which was Bolt's socially mobile path quite unlike his brothers Richard or his fathers.
NEG BRAWL: WHO CARES?
The Turnbull Governmnent is warring with the states over its National Energy Guarantee. Does anyone truly believe this NEG will slash power prices? Again, the Government plays tennis when the public wants football. UPDATE: Poll shows 70 per cent of us want more green power to cut prices. Proof that most greens have zero understanding of reality.

JOURNALISTS CENSOR 'FAKE NEWS' T-SHIRTS
Journalists peddle fake conspiracy theories about Donald Trump and call him treasonous, yet censor a little criticism of themselves: "Bowing to pressure from journalists who complained about it stocking Trump-related merchandise, a museum in Washington... said it would no longer sell T-shirts that say 'You Are Very Fake News.'” UPDATE: Link fixed.

Bolt's link is blank representative of the way he thinks. It might be broken but that's also representative of the way he thinks. "Some Journalists" have been reduced to "all" by Bolt when we know that's not the case. But he has a point 1) He's' not a journalist and doesn't subscribe to the profession and ethics of Journalism. He's what Sean Hannity describes himself as an "Opinion Advocate " for whom facts are irrelevant.
Bolt might as well be saying and he does that too that Scientists peddle fake news. However, like scientists, the majority of journalists are in fact doing the opposite and striving to avoid opinion which Bolt turns into a war in which rationality has no place. It's clear that a Museum would rather be seen as advocates against what Bolt is for.

Repetition doesn't make his argument any more real.
Let’s be clear. Bolt’s language about Jews is redolent of the past. In response to the article, the President of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria, Jennifer Huppert, said that there was ‘a rise in ultra-right-wing activity in Victoria and this type of activity can fuel antisemitic, anti-Islam and general racist debate and language in our community.’
The Australian Jewish Democratic society expressed their anger and then stated:
In response we say to Andrew Bolt and white supremacists everywhere: we are not interested in assimilating to White Australia. We are not interested in being subjects of your racist attacks. We – as migrants, as people who have lived in this country for a long time, as people who have faced racism and antisemitism of so many different guises over such a long period of time – are here to tell you that we will win and you will lose. Your vision for how society should operate will never succeed. We will continue to work with other others to ensure that a strong, cohesive, anti-racist, justice-based society is the future for "us" all.
Bolt also attacked the descendants of 1950s immigrants. He wrote that in Five Dock, Sydney,
‘ … one in seven residents still speak Italian at home.’
Clearly, Andrew Bolt’s othering is all-embracing — from white Jews and those speaking a foreign language to Muslims of any colour and brown and black people.

Bolt was attacked for his implicit Anti-Semite remarks by
"The president of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria, Jennifer Huppert, said articles such as Bolt’s do nothing for the cohesion of Australian society.
“There is a rise in ultra-rightwing activity in Victoria and this type of activity can fuel antisemitic, anti-Islamic and general racist debate and language in our community,” Huppert told Guardian Australia. “Articles like this definitely don’t help cohesion in society.”
He didn't say sorry but he's been trying to defend himself with posts like this ever since. Deflecting his antisemitism by saying "well I'm not like"....
As for Blair Cottrell Bolt has elevated Cotteral to the ranks of Reclaim Australia and the patriotic citizens they are in his mind the UPF have not been challenged by Bolt who along with Reclaim Australia supporters have a history of Islamophobia and Anti-Semitism. Bolt has helped put wind in their sails rather than criticizing them.
Now he's trying to cover his arse by equating the ABC as similar as the Bolt Report trying to suggest they are in any way similar goes beyond the ridiculous even more so that he doesn't put up a link of anything he has done with Cotteral
"I understand concerns about some of the ways Cottrell has been shut down, but you only bring on such extremists if you challenge them as I did here"
Bolt didn't challenge Folkes he was criticizing him for helping Pauline Hanson look bad hardly challenging his ideas.
Does he really think that will show the Jews of Melbourne and their enclave that he's on their side when he was referring to lack of integration? Apologise Bolt if your not anti-Semitic Jennifer Huppert will understand.
Some of that extreme Right are Nazis. Until now, the more intelligent ones have kept their anti-Semitism under wraps. Bolt’s article might tempt them to spread anti-Jewish hate more openly.
Hate speech leads to hate actions. Just recently, a South Sudanese teenager was stabbed in what is believed to be a racially motivated attack. IA
How can we stop this ongoing race to more and more hate? Politically we can oppose this. We could support Press Council complaints against Bolt, petition for his removal and for his editor to be sacked, and call for action to be taken under the Racial Discrimination Act. However, in 2011 Bolt was successfully prosecuted for breaches of section 18C of the Act, which broadly makes it unlawful act in a way which is likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate a person or group because of the race, colour or ethnic origin of the other person or group.
Despite being convicted of this unlawfulness, it does not seem to have quelled Bolt’s enthusiasm for further reactionary propaganda and race hatred. This is because, as racism escalates among the extreme Right, Bolt is positioning himself as the reactionary of outrage.

I'd suggest the major advertisers at News Corp and Sky be petition action taken against supporting their advertised products. Hit News Corp's hip pocket. List those that sponsor Bolt.
