Fighting Fake News with REAL; 15/2/21; Kaye Lee, John Lord, Politicians, Donations,

 

 

 

Perhaps if politicians paid a little more attention to their job and less to their photo shoots and “announcables” they might have a better handle on what is happening in their offices and departments. But that might mean they had to take some responsibility when it’s so much easier to blame someone else and, if necessary, find them a new lucrative position elsewhere.

Answers from senior Treasury officials at last week’s Senate investigation contradict Government claims, writes Alan Austin.

My thought for the day We exercise our involvement in our democracy every three years by voting. After that, the vast majority takes very little interest. Why is it so? ( John Lord )

Urgent call as hidden political donations hit record high

Federal political parties received $50m in unexplained cash last year in another sign of the trend towards secretive donations, says an analysis that calls for tougher disclosure laws.

Fake News 

 

TRUMP SURVIVES. HYPOCRITES LOSE

The Democrats, cheered on the media, tried to convict Donald Trump of incitement ... and failed. Good. This was a show trial driven by the most shameless hypocrites, who only now are against political violence, fake claims of election fraud and heated rhetoric.

Andrew Bolt is Australia's worst commentator. Is he referring to Republicans or Democrats here? Do his comments clarify anything or is he just the idiot yelling na na na over the fence?   " shameless hypocrites who are only now against political violence, fake claims of election fraud and heated rhetoric" It certainly seems he is.

Despite the fact that it was well documented that when asked  Trump refused to do anything for 2 hours admonishing Senator McCarthy for even asking him to quell the riot. The violence was staring him in the face and he was loving it.  Republicans and his aides who were in the room watching were witness to Trump getting his rocks off watching what was happening on TV. 

Democrats were fully aware that Trump would be found not guilty. However the process was necessary for it to be indelibly recorded in history and if Bolt believes the Democrats lost then he's missed the boat, lost the plot entirely and can't grasp the fact America has lost and Trump has only just survived a battle but not the war. Criminals aren't entitled to run for office in the USA and Trump has many more battles on that score ahead of him.
Flushed With Success 

What Bolt fails to realise is that Liberal Democracy and American Dream has continued to be  flushed down the toilet. It began after the GOP took control of the Senate after Obama's first term and the Tea Party took over from the conservatives to declare only one America existed and it was theirs and theirs at at all costs. Trump was an opportunist who knew he could promise everything deliver nothing and still tap into a White American Dream Lost. But it couldn't be done in the framework of any Liberal Democratic framework but only a fraudulent one in which Voter Supression was the the main focus. The "For the People Act" should put an end to Trump's ambitions. History will take care of his past.

 

EVERY KIND OF DIVERSITY AT THE ABC EXCEPT OF OPINION

The ABC says productions must now ensure  the inclusion of “under-represented people and perspectives” so the ABC is "sounding like contemporary Australia”. Really? More than half of the taxpayers who fund the ABC prefer Liberal over Labor. Will the ABC soon sound more like this "contemporary Australia"? 

More than half the ABC taxpayers who fund the ABC vote Liberal on what basis is Bolt pulling that rabbit out of which hat? We know 80% of Australians "trust" the ABC. Is Bolt basing his bit of hyperbole on the fact that the LNP won the election and therefore because they are wealthier are greater ABC funders? Is he admitting to the wealth gap that this country suffers from and therefore the nation should be a Corporate State and all Independant statuary bodies should bow to their financial masters?

  Given Bolt's logic we ought to be a Fascist and not a Democratic state if he had his way. A nation where Corporations and the wealthy deserve to be the biggest tax evaders, white collar criminals and whats more we need to respect them for those skills. Crown Casino's CEO just walked away with $78mill and we should simply accept it. 

We know that  because of his paucity of ratings the Liberals certainly don't watch Andrew Bolt's promotion of them. Maybe he ought to become more like the ABC which like real Conservatives claim to be a big church welcoming dissent and a diversity of ideas. True Conservatives are the very opposite of Andrew Bolt who makes strident and persistent effort to cancel the very reality of our Multicultural Australia and any changes in those inherited White Australian Colonial social structures adopted less than 220 years ago. Bolt has a religious bent in maintaining myths and falsities of our past history and declare the as "truths". 


 

DANIEL ANDREWS HAS FAILED AGAIN. JUST GO

Premier Daniel Andrews is praised for being the toughest Premier in Australia in fighting the coronavirus. In fact, he's the most incompetent. Check the record.

99% of the planet certainly don't think so. We must note Bolt never mention whose the best in his minds eye does he. He was advocating no bans no masks wacky therapeutics and sounding very Trumpish. Now he was a world leader just listen to him tell you just how many American lives he saved. 

Bolt fails to mention when it came to economic recovery which state it was that lead the pack. Who has global admiration for what was accomplished it's certainly not Morrison.
