Fighting Fake News with REAL 14/12/22, SOS, Varoufakis, Industrial Military Complex, 2 Party Democracy, Andrew Bolt/Chris Smith

  

 Biodiversity SOS

Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis speaks to the media after visiting Julian Assange at Belmarsh prison in London on February 23, 2020.

 He used to call Sydney home.

Creating a new international economic order “sounds like an impossible dream,” said the former Greek finance minister, but “not more impossible than the principle of one person, one vote, or of the end of the divine right of kings once sounded.”

The new $850 billion military budget, which the House just approved and the Senate will take up soon, is a giveaway to the arms industry. Is it a coincidence that House supporters of the bill got seven times more money from military contractors than opponents?

Bernie Sanders did afterall offer an alternative. However, a system's power change is necessary and Varoufakis is clearly saying that and that requires a change in Values.

 Because the Democratic Party hasn’t built a farm team, they may well be stuck with 82-year-old Joe Biden to run for reelection. Republicans, meanwhile, are in an analogous situation, possibly stuck with Donald Trump because no better alternative has stepped up yet. How did the population of 330 million people end up with so few choices?

The way forward

Andrew Bolt has egg on his face by Tony Sowersby

Andrew Bolt’s hypocrisy has no parallels. While Smith has his addiction and mental illness as an excuse Andrew Bolt has only himself to blame for his record of female abuse. Abuse, he even conducted publicly. His ex-fiance for the world to see threatened to sue if he didn’t take back the bullshit he attempted to tell us about her in order to pump his own Walter Mitty ego up. He collapsed like a cheap suit admitting he’d lied in order to save his own arse.

Then there was the case where a female magistrate took him to court for defaming her. That was a substantial loss to News Corp. It kept him on but has sacked Smith.

Bolt also tried it on with Miranda Devine. The idiot did it on air no less, and ran red-faced or was let go by 2GB never to be seen again on the Steve Price’s show. We have no idea of the number of undisclosed settlements that have been made to women because of the Blot. But here he is the loud-mouthed hypocritical ass he is playing alpha-male moralist and Gallahad to the crowd when his history is as tarnished, if not more so, than Chris Smith’s.

Disgraced broadcaster Chris Smith has lost his roles with Sky News Australia and Sydney’s 2GB over drunken acts at a work Christmas party.

However, fellow Sky host Andrew Bolt was having none of it on his program The Bolt Report on Monday night. He called for Smith to go.

“Chris, all the very best to you getting over what you say is your addiction and your bipolar condition, but your recovery must take place somewhere else, not here,” he said.

“With your record you still choose to drink, you did then, and allegedly assaulted and upset young women who must work here.”

Bolt continued to explain that “we’re all good people here at Sky with a culture of looking after each other.
