ON THE EXPLOITATION OF CHURSTCHURCH

Janet Albrechtsen: "Aly has seemingly ducked for cover about mentioning Islam when Muslim terrorists [murdered] innocent people... In 2013 he told us that 'terrorism is a perpetual irritant'... When a white supremacist killed Muslims in Christchurch, Aly couldn’t mention Islam enough." Brendan O'Neill also nails the exploitation of the tragedy.

Bolt's definitely in hiding. He's been calling for a halt to the Muslim 'invasion' of Europe and Australia for years. That piece of Fake News has turned into hard reality with Brenton Tarrant. The resulting outcome now has him requiring to do even more to deny any responsibility. New Corp exploited Muslim immigration for years enthusiastically writing negative 2850 negative articles in 12 months, and Bolt was their lead opinion writer. Exploitation, it was nothing less. 
He's now "ducked for cover" shrunk flipped and is pretending to be a choir boy innocent of any charges. But we know he's not and just as Bolt called the altar boy who accused Pell, a liar. The Australian public will call him one, surely?  He can't stand up and deny his exploitation of Muslims Africans and Lebanese for politics. If he is saying now violence exits universally in Australia on both sides of the political landscape that's not what he's been preaching all these years Putting on a Dorian Gray face won't hide what lies beneath, someone whose lower than a snake's belly.  
Waleed Aly according to Albrechtsen "ducked for cover" because he said "terrorism is a perpetual irritant" Isn't that what Bolt's trying to now say as is Trump and Morrison? "We aren't to blame violence exists on all sides. Nothing to do with us" Waleed said it's no surprise what happened because our government has exploited Islamophobia for years and Morrison has since the Cronulla riots. Aly's comments called moronic by Albrectsen were never as intense regular or hate-filled as were her colleagues at News Corp nor was he suggesting they were the same on both sides as she's dutifully trying to do. The problem being what Waleed Aly was saying and what Bolt is aren't the same. Bolt pathetically posting her article as a smoke screen fails badly. Aly if you listen is defining Conservatives and their tactics for what they are provocateurs dividing the nation for the personal gains on votes the other sheckels.

CHRISTCHURCH: NO, I REJECT BOTH TRIBES AND THEIR VIOLENCE

I have a message by the tribalists trying to force us to pick sides after the Christchurch massacre. No, I reject both sides. I reject violence. I reject the enemies of civility and debate. And I stand - we all stand with the victims of Christchurch, and the victims of all preachers of hatred. My editorial on The Bolt Report.

" I have a message by the tribalists trying to force us to pick sides after the Christchurch massacre. No, I reject both sides. I reject violence. I reject the enemies of civility and debate. And I stand - we all stand with the victims of Christchurch, and the victims of all preachers of hatred."Andrew Bolt

Here lies the proof that Bolt is "ducking for cover" and turning Trump. " I Won't be part of this exploitive disgusting fake media I stand alone"  However twenty years have to be put aside before Bolt can say that with conviction today? Not that he's changed or is in any way sorry it's an attempted deflection. If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck, it's Andrew Bolt. If he walks like a liar......
 Suddenly the violence is 'universal' it exists on 'both sides'. It's what Trump said after a neo-nazi drove his car into the crowd at Charlottesville. Trump was lampooned because he refused to call out the alt-right for what they were. Bolt is doing just that now backing away from the political and media attention and his blatant racism for the past 20 years calling Muslims an 'invasion' of our land and culture. What, suddenly Bolt's a man of peace, not a tribalist and 'we' all of us are now to blame? It doesn't wash when he's crying out 'we are all responsible' now instead of the catch cry we know him for 'Who let them in?"
Good faith is the man who says "do unto others as you would have them do to you."
Bolt says                                      " Blame others lest any negative attention falls on you."

Bolt knows he has control of the media. It's 24/7 cycle, and it won't be long before he's back doing what he's always done racially and culturally dividing the country risking yet another violent event supporting Dutton, Hanson and Morrison who are all expected to take it down a notch.? Bolt won't be reasoned he'll be making his wild generalisations on insufficient evidence and will continue to be the ultra-right racist we know him to be. Calling Milo, UPF Reclaim Australia victims of black racism and Christianophobia. He is a Gollum an excessively corrupt creature. Who can't look people in the eye and afraid to walk the streets of one of the worlds most livable cities?  He's worse than a liar who if he's acting in good faith expects to be lied to by others Bolt doesn't.
You will not find a greater hypocrite among our media faker or a two-faced commentator than Andrew Bolt who in the past 2 days has become a weather vane as if in the past 19 years he hasn't shown us who and what he really is.
 An example of how twisted Bolt is is his complaint about Maoris doing the Hakka as a sign of respect for those that had died in Christchurch. It brings back memories of Bolt doing a similar thing when Adam Goodes did his dance at the AFL match celebrating the Aboriginal week. Bolt exploited the moment for his use to yet again divide us. However, he paid the price for his racism, and most Australians howled Bolt down no matter how many days he tried to justify himself.
Australia stop advertising with this man, Sky and News Corp.

USING CHRISTCHURCH TO ATTACK AUSTRALIA, THE WEST AND "WHITENESS"

The Left's exploitation of Christchurch is sinister. Nick Riemer, an academic who wants Israel boycotted, says Western civilisation courses cause "murderous civilisational hatred": "There is a clear analogy between thinking that European books belong together and thinking that European people do too." And the hatred on the ABC last night was worse.

 Bolt's back the "we" has gone and it's back to "them", and it's all happened on one day. The "left", the ABC is playing dirty they want Israel boycotted their hatred "worse" than Nick Riemers. The ABC unlike Bolt presents the differing views of others and allows them to express those views which The Bolt Report doesn't it tells you what they are. 

Andrew Bolt refuses to say that Israel 1) Has a history sponsoring State Terrorism supporting AlQaeda. Assassinating some 240 Palestinians shot dead by snipers 40 of them children. Further, thousands were injured and medical supplies blockaded from hospitals. 2) The IDF alone is totally against free speech banning some 3000 news publications since 2011 3) It interferes with MSM globally and with party politics to keep what it does out of the papers, politics and spending billions to do so  4) Israel is totally a tribal-state despite 25% of its citizens not Jewish allowing discrimination to be institutionalised. 5) It illegally occupies the lands of "others Palestine and Syria. And 5) Is alienating the Jewish diaspora so much they are publicly demonstrating against it.

 Didn't we hear Andrew Bolt just yesterday declare he was against violence, for free-speech, against interference of the press, anti- tribalism and ignorance fake news? Well, he falsely conflates Israel a self -declared apartheid state politics with religion Judaism.

Bolt not only shows his ignorance of Judaism and Israel but his anti-Muslim bias his tribalism and his Western white prejudice is back in relief just in his banner to a Paywall. Sensationalism his bent to draw people in a huckster at work. 

His belief that the history included in those Great Books on Western Civilisations are the most important gift to the planet actually ignore the truth and inspire freaks like Brenton Tarrant to protect us from the invasion. The intended consequence some might think hoped for by broadcasters like Bolt. The company that helps produce his work  Murdoch's News Corp and Sky can't all be that dumb or just irresponsible. As for Western Civilisation Colonialism benefited no one but a minority of investors in the most Inglorious manner creating the slave industry and indentured labour and stifling the development of countries for hundreds of years.

As for Christchurch being used to "attack" Australia, I doubt it the shooter was born and raised here and like Bolt who was brought up Dutch and never really felt Australian for some 30 years and in all probability still doesn't today. Tarrant is very much Australian socialised here and brought up in a culture that in his informative years was becoming increasingly Islamophobic. Politically Nationally and encouraged calling for action with voices like Bolts emphasising "invasion".

Tony Abbott Says 'Islamophobia Hasn't Killed Anyone'. He's Wrong ...

Lest we forget dehumanisation kills us all. 

Tony Abbott hasn't apologised for making that statement in 2017 agreed it was right then, but "might" be wrong today.  The fact is in the past decade in the USA right-wing mass shootings have killed 75% of deaths, but that simply haven't called the 'white' perpetrators "terrorist".

 There was contemporaneous evidence that Mr Abbott's 2017 assertion was inaccurate. The previous week, a self-described white nationalist was arrested in the US city of Portland and charged with fatally stabbing two people who confronted him while he abused two teenage Muslim girls. 

Earlier that year, six people were killed at a mosque in Canada when set upon by far-right nationalist Alexandre Bissonnette. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the event as a terrorist attack, although Bissonnette was not convicted under terrorism laws.

  Andrew Bolt doesn't believe Muslims have mental health issues like White Christians do purely ideological ones. In response, we have heard Bolt yelling that and listened to him scream "Who let them in". Today these disingenuous politicians and media persons are now shrinking talking Trump in whispers that extremism is an issue on both sides but never admitting their involvement in amplifying Islamophobia.

Scott Morrison is well known to have raised wedge and divisive politics as an opportunity, a tactic to use after he saw Cronulla riots in 2005. Scott Morrison like Bolt is now doing a Trump both declaring all sides are at fault, as if they never, never used race or religion in politics. Morrison was totally behind Abbott's Team Australia as was Bolt. They were totally up for pointing out immigrants who failed to integrate. Saying the people of the most livable city were too frightened to go out at night. Wedge politics has been part and parcel of this governments politics since 2001. No backstepping no denial now can hide their record. These guys ran Yassmin Abdel Magied out of the country and allowed Milo, Summers Spencer and others in and Andrew Bolt was very central to both.

Vote them out and Stop advertising in Newscorp and on Sky. Show them who we are Australia, a Fair Go Nation that stopped when Tony Abbott cast a shadow over the country and put his foot on the brake of the fairness. Something we believed in and the world recognised us as.

"Now activists are misusing this ghastly tragedy to demonise their ideological enemies and force us into competing sides. " Andrew Bolt

He's been practising division full tilt boogie since the beginning of this century and backed Abbott, Hanson, all the way with his divisive rhetoric.

 

PM warns 'hate, blame and contempt are the staples of tribalism' following Christchurch attack

 Tribalism advice sounds odd coming from the PM whose party is itself tribally divided. Conservatives/Moderates/Women none of whom show any unity to any cause. Climate, Immigration, Education, Marriage Equality are just some of the issues Morrisson can't unify. Abbott flipped on Climate but does that make him a moderate now? We don't think so. In Warringah he's back to his old "Ditch the Bitch" tactics he was with Gillard now against Zali. Everyone's talking 'tribalism' today particularly those who keep talking about their 'base' and those against it. Recognise Abbott, Dutton, and the coup against Turnbull and Andrew Bolt echoing Turnbull wasn't a true Liberal?

Prime Minister Scott Morrison called for a calmer approach to the public debate to counter the “shouting from the fringes". Who was he talking to when he kept Milo out/in/out this past two weeks? Bolt advertised he'd be speaking about Milo on his podcast but never did. He was just too hot to handle coupled with a plea to take things down a notch because as Trump has said things are good and bad on both sides. Suggesting there's some equivalency between the anger of a minority Australians told they aren't wanted and the hatred of a racist right-wing minority group who know they are disliked, are bigots, don't give a shit and are crying victimhood. Convoluted yes, reasoned no, a means to a political end yes, with an unintended yet predictable outcome we saw in Christchurch. What these idiots are now trying to say is " Oops, we didn't mean it. We are all to blame, aren't we? Let's not change anything forget and move on."

 

New Zealand Suspect’s Actions Are Logical Conclusion of Calling Immigrants “Invaders”

I felt compelled to analyze his words at length because as a nonwhite Westerner — a Muslim no less — I’m one of the “invaders” that he speaks about.

Tarrant’s words are both lucid and chillingly familiar. His references to immigrants as invaders find echoes in the language used by the president of the United States and far-right leaders across Europe. And that is why it would be a mistake to dismiss them as the incoherent ravings of a madman.

 Poisoning the Well: Liberal spending splurge to bury Labor in debt - Michael West

In the future interests of the Liberal Party and the LNP but not in the interests of the Nation. Simply follow history, and you will see this ruling class government has done it time and time again leaving the hard yards to the ALP.  (ODT)

The explosion in government spending which suddenly ramped up last May will leave the incoming government buried in debt but worse, it will leave whoever wins the impending federal election tied to billions of dollars in spending commitments which never went to tender.
There have been $153 billion in “amended contracts”, or untendered contracts struck by the government between March 2016 and February this year, the bulk of it in the past ten months, and the vast bulk of that in Defence spending.

What Rupert Murdoch really wants from Google and Facebook

So, what are Murdoch and News Corp really up to then? 

Murdoch’s Australian publishing house, News Corp, created global headlines when it provocatively called for search advertising giant Google to be broken up. The suggestion - made in a submission to the Australian competition regulator's inquiry into digital platforms - surfaced just days after Warren unveiled her own plan to break up Google (and fellow internet giants Facebook and Amazon) at the high-profile South by Southwest conference in Texas.

  a system where Google (and presumably Facebook) could pay "licence fees" to publishers to compensate them for the benefit they derived from their content.

One thing, however, is sure he wants to break up the ABC.
