TRUMP REHEARSED DEBATE IN A ROOM. NOW FIVE PEOPLE THERE ARE SICK
COLUMN Donald Trump bet against the virus and lost, big time, in the White House Map Room. There he was, huddled with about eight mask-less advisors, to prep for last Wednesday’s debate against Joe Biden. And on Thursday, the first began to cough.
VATICAN SCANDAL: "MONEY SENT TO AUSTRALIA" TO JAIL GEORGE PELL
COLUMN George Pell’s supporters always thought he was framed by Vatican enemies over child sex abuse claims. Now Corriere della Sera reports: “700,000 euros sent to Australia through various wire transfers may have been used to ‘buy’ the accusers in the paedophile trial against Cardinal George Pell.” Cardinal Angelo Becciu is named by a former aide.
America has Qanon, OAAN and Infowars as public broadcasters of 'conspiracy theories'. Theories given air by Fox News's broadcasting of tall tales like Pizzgate. America is the place the bullshit exceeds and succeeds like no other is Australia?
We have Andrew Bolt. Who failing to be believed on so many counts is trying to regain some traction wit tales of Pell seeming to avoid commenting on issues like Trump the victim, Dan Andrews, the Covid hoax and Climate alarmism. He's recently avoiding all those topics he's proven to be so wrong about in the past?
We have accepted Pell faced justice in our courts and won despite Bolt's tales of a conspiracy among Victorian Police, the DPP, Courts, witnesses, and victims all of course unfounded and never proved. Bolt's conspiracies didn't get Pell off, "reasonable doubt" did. However it didn't get him off the fact that he spent his energies as leader of the Catholic Church treating victims badly in favour of protecting his perpetrator priests. To which Pell pleaded his guilt publicly and"apologised" for.
So why is Bolt' s current foray back to Pell seem like he's trying to raise Lazarus again? Why is he broadening his long forgotten conspiracy tale? It seems more of an escape from what's consuming all of us at present. it's as if it's an attempt at misdirection. You see Bolt like Trump can't say he was ever wrong his Narcissism won't allow for it. After all it is a mental health disorder which Bolt and Trump seem to have suffered from since children. How many of the 9 diagnostic boxes does Bolt tick? Trump ticked all 9.
