Fighting Fake News with Real, 24/7/19; Sky News After Dark is and Oxymoron Better known as Sky News in the Dark or Dark News in the Sky or just just Sky High Dark News; Boris,







Former London mayor and former foreign secretary Boris Johnson is all but assured of becoming the new British prime minister this week.

Five things you may not know about Boris Johnson, the UK's next PM

 

Boris Johnson by numbers: the next UK prime minister’s career summed up

 

5? 6? Who knows?

Number of children
One thing Johnson has repeatedly refused to discuss is how many children he has. His proponents have defended his lack of answers as a right to privacy, although why he would stay so silent about this if he thought it wouldn’t damage him is anyone’s guess in that case.
The number of his offspring is not necessarily relevant to his ability to lead, but the fact that he repeatedly lies to, and cheats on, his partners certainly casts doubt over his trustworthiness.

 

Boris Johnson, ‘political Vegemite’, becomes the UK prime minister. Let the games begin.

  Johnson is a polarising figure not just for the country at large but for his own party. An instantly recognizable figure with his unruly blonde mop, rotund Billy Bunteresque figure and fruity Etonian accent, Johnson is political Vegemite. He delights those who look for “authenticity” in their political leaders, often code for plain speaking, unscripted rudeness and lack of civility. He appals those who expect politicians to abide by some basic principles, uphold integrity in public life, and seek to defend the common interest through negotiation and compromise. Those who detect similar qualities in Johnson to those characterizing Donald Trump would not be wrong. Both are noted for improbable haircuts, but beyond that, they share a penchant for seeing politics in simplistic and antagonistic terms. Politics is a zero-sum game.

The United Kingdom is Europe’s great pacifier, but deserting the EU at the urging of a band of chronic liars, might mean the end of its illustrious tradition as one of the world’s great civilisations.

Opinion from Andrew Bolt the windsock we once heard the election of Donald Trump would be a disaster to heil to the new superman Bolt some times pushes his own opinion over and above the companies but the scoots back into the Murdochian fold.
The fact is Murdoch has 3 sock puppets who owe him and owe him big time. In the US, they have already moved into the White House. In Australia, the target will be the ABC as it has been already for the past 6 years to an extent never seen before. Now in the UK, it will be the re-establishment of the power and the ruin of those who said he wasn't fit to be king of media when he came close to being imprisoned and losing everything.
Bolt points to johnson noble words and warns us of the media naysayers like the Independent who seems to remind us of the words of Boris's nearest and dearest we heard the other day. That he was a spoilt buffoon with a lazy born to rule mentality. This would be a far more accurate appraisal than anything Bolt and Sheridan had to offer through the PR prism of MurdochAus voice News Corp and Sky.

What you sense in the advertorials Bolt posts for his show is that they have a devious purpose and not intended for a real two-way conversation only ratings. Sexual scandals over the years have been commonplace among the British elite the police process never really questioned. Bolt rarely selects those unless it's Paki Muslim crime gangs. So why is this one so important and why is he questioning the police process of investigation and media belief in what the accuser was saying. After all, Bolt never called Milo Yianniaopolus a"liar" when others have. He lost his publisher and his job at Breitbart for his support of pedophilia.  We don't know whether the years he spun were true, false or just part of his schtik.
So what has this to do with George Pell? Frankly absolutely nothing. It's connection to Pell is about as relevant as that butterfly that flapped its wings in the Brazilian. Priests molesting boys and Elites doing the same in other Institutions such as Scouts, Theatre, Schools, Sporting Clubs etc. Both male and female perps have been active molesters for years but hidden. Christian parents have molested their children have pimped them out. They fly out in bulk to the third world to indulge in their lust for children. The court that tested the evidence against Pell the court found him guilty and yes it was a long process. Nothing vigilante about it other than Andrew Bolt
Pell has every right now to appeal it's a process, and it's long and tedious and not just an instinctual, kneejerk reaction that  Bolt thinks ought to have been the result. It appears bolt is suggesting the upper-class elites ought to have some privilege. They should be able to be judged on some different level. Well, they are and have been for years. White-collar crime, corporate crime, private schools crime is treated differently and has gotten away with impunity when found guilty of drugs sex financial criminality. We have recently seen our elite culture being caught in every imaginable act and been sentenced to less than indigenous children stealing a Mars bar. Why shouldn't Pell receive the appropriate investigation every other process afforded him in our justice system without bias because of his station or privileged meilue. The Church has judged Pell and offered him no appeal and if found innocent won't return him to his station. The boys can't be assumed liars because of a case in the UK. If Pell were found to be innocent will Bolt be calling for the boys to be charged? It wouldn't be past him, but then it seems because that butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil Bolt might run the argument that they should. 
How behind the times is Bolt? Hollywood has been partnering China for years why Cheap Labor, huge market and bums on seats. Murdoch begged and caved into China promised them everything until China discovered they weren't a great fit and kicked him out. As for the Cruise controversy, it's not Cultural its business and the business is bums on seats. Did Murdoch's papers refuse Palmer's political ads because they disliked Palmer or didn't fully agree with? No! They wanted a taste of the $60 mill he was spending
Bolt's promising sensational incite into the Colombaris resignation. He's got nothing the three of them resigned because they were looking for more money. Be sure the resignations for next years contracts aren't over yet.
All of this isn't about truth; it's to attract you to Sky because Foxtel is bleeding subs and slashing costs to keep their clients. What happens if Foxtel can't stop the outflow? Bolt's not Trump, not that savvy he needs the autocue without one he's as interesting as his podcast with his son Dom which lasted all of 5 nights.

BHP: BULL, HYPOCRISY AND PRETENCE

What's worse? The sanctimony, the hypocrisy or the alarmism?: "The global dependence on fossil fuels poses a potentially “existential” risk to the planet, according to BHP chief executive Andrew Mackenzie, and climate change is escalating towards crisis point... Mr Mackenzie did not promise BHP would exit the coal industry." 
Bolt has been the Dutch boy with his thumb stuck in a wall trying to stop the damn castle of King Coal from breaking. Even when the major players in the very castle, the industry itself is telling the planet that they are transitioning away and will in the long term abandon the castle. It's increasingly leaving Andrew Bolt alone and behind yelling abuse in a poisoned black landscape. Much like Monty Python's black night.
Bolt is maintaining he is wiser than the industry leaders a better climatologist than 97% of the experts and scientists. Bolt is a better technologist better investment adviser better public health administrator and by, and large, he's right. He is the biggest wacko in Australia's media market because he has a tin ear. Is he embarrassed never! Because in the 24/7 media cycle allows him never to say sorry, he just walks away from his previous idiocy. He just simply moves on having helped delay progress by throwing any messages out that suit the political agency of News Corp, and it's sponsors.
The 16-year-old Greta Thunberg that Bolt mocks is right" get behind Science and not lobbyists " As is Dem freshman Rep AOC that Trump and Fox mock and deride for the Koch Bros and their ilk Clive Palmer, Gina and what they want to do in the Qld Galilee Basin.

 

This was in 2015

Law enforcement took more stuff from people than burglars did last year



One other point: Those asset forfeiture deposit amounts are not necessarily the best indicator of a rise in the use of forfeiture. "In a given year, one or two high-dollar cases may produce unusually large amounts of money — with a portion going back to victims — thereby telling a noisy story of year-to-year activity levels," the Institute for Justice explains. A big chunk of that 2014 deposit, for instance, was the $1.7 billion Bernie Madoff judgment, most of which flowed back to the victims.
