Nature belongs to all of us

Land managers are the primary stewards of Australia’s unique environment. Yet they receive the least government funding of any OECD country aside from New Zealand.

The environment needs immediate and sustained support. Whatever the lure and potential of environmental markets and certification schemes, the evidence strongly suggests private funding should not be relied on to preserve, restore and sustain our natural landscapes.

The environment is a public good, and requires adequate and substantial public funding.

Despite the fact that a majority of Australians want to remain neutral in a war between the U.S. and China, successive governments have put us in a position where we would be dragged into war.

 FAKE NEWS AND MISINFORMATION EXPOSED

MELBOURNE UNI A JOKE WHILE PASCOE STAYS PROFESSOR

Melbourne University made itself look stupid by hiring fake Aborigine Bruce Pascoe as professor of a fake discipline - "Indigenous Agriculture". Now it looks dishonest by not sacking him after even its own publishing arm denounced Pascoe's ludicrous untruths.

 This, coming from Andrew Bolt, who promotes himself as the most read political blog in the country, but only posts the same psychologically obsessed message week in and week out. has a case to answer for stalking Bruce Pascoe. As a consequence one comes to realize the degree of mental illness there in the community passing itself off as Bolt like "normal".  Andrew Bolt is part of a very small uneducated and blinkered minority that find it difficult to comprehend their narrow 'Weltenschung' or "view of the world" might be wrong. That they weren't sent by some higher force born to rule.

Melbourne University commands International respect Andrew Bolt not even any local other than largely ridicule. The University of Melbourne encourages the debate Andrew  Bolt so desperately demands to be shut down. The University sponsors and encourages research, the expansion of data collection and methodologies that leads to the transparent progress of rational thought. Andrew Bolt denies that debate in preference for some mystical perfection. He is a Trump style modern day TV tent preacher without the ratings only the rantings. The modern day equivalence found in TV evangelism and reality shows.

 The Bolt Report invites converts to share their conversion and are lit up on his stage. His audience numbers touted as product for advertiser money. However there are fewer and fewer. The day is coming faster than Bolt realizes when he will be forgotten and fade away like a fog as he has on the regional WINN channels. At best he will be a relic to be studied by children as to what not to do and what he does do is the opposite of  clear and rational thinking.

 

HOW CHINESE DICTATOR’S SPEECH SOUNDS JUST LIKE HITLER’S

Chinese dictator Xi Jinping last week gave a frightening speech on the anniversary of his communist party. Frightening, because paragraph after paragraph was just like the big anniversary speech given by Adolf Hitler, two years before World War II. 

The world must not ignore this: Last week’s big anniversary speech by China’s dictator sounded very much like Hitler’s.
 

So don’t be surprised when the shooting starts.

Xi gave his speech in Beijing on the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, at a ceremony featuring soldiers goosestepping, Nazi style.

It was frightening enough that Xi threatened “foreign forces” he’d “crack their heads and spill blood”.

Worse, was that in paragraph after key paragraph he pushed the same buttons Hitler pushed in his speech in 1937 on the fourth anniversary of his Nazi dictatorship.

All the same evils are there. The appeals to race. The paranoia. The inflammatory poking of a mortified national pride. The fake appeals for peace, and gory threats of blood. That sound of a whiner, grown big and now scary-daring himself to fight.

Reading them side-by-side, how can anyone think we’re safe? (ANDREW BOLT)

 Hitler and China have nothing in common. Hitler grew out of the failure of Democracy. Germany a divided nation captured singularly controlled media and a government performance that promoted the antithesis of Democracy for the rule by one man. Hitler was allowed to grow by allied nations due to their constant appeasement and compromise of allowing Hitler to grow. Even Left wing USSR failed to contain him. Had they done so, much much earlier, WW2 would never have happened and Hitler would have failed.

China's growth and history came from the liberation of a starving nation needing to free itself from imperial bondage and a nations refusal to be colonized like India by a rapacious Western Imperialism that offered opiate addiction in exchange for tea and cheap labor. Since 1948 the world has seen China transform itself and lift it's people up. While the national dream of free market capitalism Andrew Bolt so dearly clings to  has seen the majority of its citizen's lifestyles diminished. Housing, health, education and wealth distribution, over the past 75 years, has progressed for the Chinese but not so for the West. Infrastructure in China has improved while here it's decayed. The ruling minority have little to be proud of and in desperation need to constantly create fake "enemies" in order to tell us "they are "keeping us safe".  In China we a grassroots enthusiastic nationalism born out of the positive changes they have experienced in their history. The US and Australia on the other hand are currently desperate and need to manufacture a fake nationalism just as Hitler once did in Germany with pomp ceremony secret police and surveillance one dictated from the top down. Bolt's ideal nation where an elect and not freely elected rule.

 Let's face it Marx's explanation and description of the history Capitalism and the individual's position in it is far more illuminating than any the conservatives have offered. It's why his manifesto continues to be the most read on the planet after the bible that offers myth as a world view. Andrew Bolt would have it burned if he could just as Hitler did. 

Instead he and a minority ultra-orthodox right or 1 percenters promote division in the form of "culture wars" to distract the diverse masses from the economic division that is the true nature of the Western belief in Capitalism. It's  distraction that hides the fact that the world is in fact dominated by as few as 10 multinational corporations to which our governments are beholden to for their power. Paid puppets and in Australia represented by the cabal of LNP, Murdoch media and the IPA. How few people is that really? Very little from the Melbourne Club of old really that once ruled this country. Their focus today is on the maintenance of power by surveillance and policing to keep us from uniting, protesting or criticizing the economic system under which we live. They have in effect accelerated the reduction of our freedoms since 2013 at as fast a rate as China has been liberating their citizens. And whatsmore have been doing it in  plain sight. Bolt's voice is the paid and scripted ideological voice denying what we in the West have all witnessed and benefited from is China's progress as well. However not all of us have shared in those benefits and the conservatives are hell bent on keeping it that way. 

Simon Birmigham without denial admitted that the LNP rorts were a justifiable action as the LNP won the election. Bridget McKenzie is back as is Barnaby Joyce. Morrison, Dutton, Frydenberg, Tudge, Succhar, Now they are all intent on improving the life of the minority not the majority of Australians and they are failing badly. 

 

TIPS FOR MONDAY, JULY 5

Tell us the news here. On The Bolt Report on Sky News at 7pm: we're too fraidy-cat for the tourists now flocking to Europe, Cardinal George Pell vindicated, and  Joe Biden confirms he's suffering memory blanks. Plus: sshhhhh, but where did that global warming go?

The answer to that global warming question is up above. We know you rarely go out!
