Tim Blaair living in the land of "me" got a shock to called up before the HRC to discover he might just be wrong that it is a land of 'we'. It must be a sad life for for the wives of Bevis and Butthead watching them trying to copulate but knowing they are only masturbating..
History and life are merely abstractions for these 'me' men who can't grasp the fact that they actually live life in a collective world of the historical and internalized "we" and are obligated to change and reconstruct it. They only wallow in the closets of their minds.
Bolt trying to sell a book to the converted IPA members coupled with Spectator readers. Talk about a hit and run launch 5.30pm -6pm $40 to non IPA members and $15 for members says it all. If your not a Bolt fan stay away. I'm sure security will be there as will UPF fans being offered $10 Tickets unless Bolt is handing out drinks to the under aged. As for the book it's a lazy susan of featherweight ideas put forward by others but in tune with IPA policies . It's not a Bolt book and in no way original.
Bolt repeats himself doesn't he
Whenever
have we heard Bolt employing the use of "we" or that we are all "complex individuals"
to Sudanese, Somalis or Arabic Australians? What Giles says is we are complex individuals and Bolt blames us for that. Multiculturalism is just that and it's what Giles is saying he's an Australian with Aboriginal heritage. However Bolt refuses to let all Australians say that. Did he use it to describe
Nova Peris Bolt simply never uses it nor does he ever treat people accordingly.
Bolt doesn't complain about
Australians using our flag to hide their racist faces he actually
supports and protects them it's the collective shame and history that we have internalized that stereotypes others not just as "complex individuals". Have you seen Bolt or Panahai use the
photos when commenting on those flag masks used in Coburg,no!! However when those
flag masks are evident Bolt calls it Australian
pride not a Xenophobic and racist symbol. Roz Ward is
right.
Crime
and dysfunction in a multicultural society is not only multicultural but
multi-classed as well. The differentiation reflects just that our
society in which we live. However it's not always reflected in the
Institutional responses to it. It's the rate of incarceration of Aborigines
that needs to be looked at. It's the lack of prosecution of corporate crime and white collar crime that needs to be questioned. It's the soft sentencing of white collar
crime that needs a second look. It's why Bolt is an Ultra Conservative
he ignores these social complexities and their cost to the community. He ignores the relativity of history seen from
different perspectives. Crime pays if your one of the white middleclass elite and even more so the higher your power.
Here is a case of the Del-Cons only being satisfied with regaining control of the Liberal Party. Politically un-confident in forming their own Party these extreme conservatives operate with the intent of not only dividing but kidnapping the party. By the Thatcherite use of exaggerated fear about the economy, about Muslim danger, about same sex marriage , about Aboriginal intervention, and even a National Pride that runs counter to the grain of this multicultural nation.
Yes and it's Not Bolt but his drone and troll (reader Peter BH) who runs 30% of Bolt's blogs that is dragged out to do the cut and paste work of the IPA and the News Corp team to confirm a distortion and promote their cause. Ultimately it won't be over until Tony Abbott who has noted this week yet again his acceptance of still being the great conservative leader in the Liberal Party. Until he and they are returned to leadership the crisis will continue within the party itself. We will be returned again to experience life with the ambience of depressed doomsday politics we felt once before with even more uniforms, flags, ceremonies and surveillance than ever before.
This is Bolt and his trolls raising the same old political myth that Muslims have been an un-assimilated minority group in Australia throughout it's history. When in fact they were as much a foundation our nation building as anyone . Most significantly Turks, Bosnians, Lebansese Iranians Iraqis and others that make up 2.5% of our population. What we have seen in recent years an exaggerated bigotry used by conservatives for political reasons since the LNP John Howard government winning office. This is just a reflection of the the extension of Pauline Hanson's Non Nation political agenda adopted by John Howard to win office. The darkest years of this nations noted by our invasion of Iraq in 2003.
I guess a Palestinian kindergarten play interpreting the Palestinian or Gazan collective history which has brought them to a point of explaining where and why they are today in Gaza is Bolt's justification for over 300 children having been killed since October. It's why Bolt empathizes with the extremist Rabbi who has said all Palestinians should be hunted down and killed like rats.
Does Bolt for one moment even think that Israeli education doesn't begin with socializing their Israeli children in the same manner making heroes of the IDF? They then train them by the time their 18 to kill kidnap abuse and injure not only Gazans but Palestinians Arabs and even Christians. If anybody resists their learned brutality they can be shot for simply refusing to obey. I wish Bolt would test his belief in Israeli freedom out.
Bolt can't even accept his own internalized collective misogyny and racism. It's as if Australian or Dutch history has never touched him and he's a purely self made man. That very lack of understanding that accompanies this belief in simply being able to cherry pick his way through historical tradition blinds him to past atrocities and mistakes and it makes him a very small minded and dangerous moving forward. It also make Bolt a very lazy man too as hes referred to this same video before to push his point.
Bolt's Boys the literate Right
Strange how Bolt sees only what he want's to see. The masked Anonymous faces at Coburg were shownand called leftist thugs. However not any of the Australian flag covered faces of of the Reclaim Australia and UPF he supports. One side pro racism armed and ready for a fight called patriots and those opposing any form of racial division but multicultural unity.
Is it surprising that Bolt combs photos and videos to say anti Trump supporters are mere rabble trying to stop democracy at work. As far as Bolt is concerned the Australian UPF are the true Australians wanting to rectify the mistakes of the past that saw Muslims allowed into the country. That it wasn't Democracy back then and is symbolized by UPF protestors today. Trump for Bolt represents the real America the exclusive exceptional America that is not Latino just because the majority of Americans do have Latino names.
America is exceptional spending $600 billion financing war in other countries and making some Americans very rich in the process but not making Americans rich. In fact their armies are made up of the poor. There are military bases in 154 countries around the world most of which aren't wanted and are merely there protecting commercial interests or the interests of unwanted governments. Funny how Bolt calls 400 protestors at a Trump rally thugs. We know listening to Trump that he's is definitely a thug and a crook. However has Bolt done any homework to ask what the disgruntled 400 are about? For a start they are Californians their Mayor is onside Trump is the invader in their city
The Conservative extreme yes but the politics of fear yes
Walled Israel ,Walled,America,Walled Europe World WarZ it'sApartheid by any other name. Any persons found to be illegal or mutant will be required to go to the outside of the wall. Those on the inside are in a universal state of seige. However if there are resources required from the wall' outside we are and will be entitled by the very nature of our power to forcefully corporatize and militarize people to take control over them. That's what the elite mean by globalization nothing more nothing less. We may need walls within walls in walled cities. Walled estates secured for the protection of those eligible to live within them already exist protected by private forces..
Has anybody been to Joberg recently in South Africa where white South Africans live behind razor wire. Where they drive cars with flame throwers underneath for protection.
The 2-3 wealthiest man in Mexico never drives out of his walled compound but takes his helicopter to work. He can't relax in his own country so he has a luxury cruise ship on which he lives 8 months of the year and is on call at all times.
Are the Greens about to be the government or be the tail that will wag the dog like the Conservatives are doing within the Liberal Party? Is Adani a godsend or the devil in disguise? What any sensible person would do is look at his track record wouldn't they? Which on all counts is disastrous. Adani has caused mass environmental destruction and walked away from it and he has consistently done that in the past. When history repeats is Bolt going to say we have to restore the damage done or simply turn his back too.
Bolt seems to be saying all business is speculative and in this case despite Adani's track record it's worth the gamble to allow him to destroy the environment which includes the Barrier Reef. If it fails the whole country can bail the project out and not just the few who stand to gain so it's worth the risk. Of course it is for Adani. It's too big to fail logic and it's that logic that brought about the GFC
Bolt makes out these people sailing to the EU are on a summer cruise not risking life and limb out of desperation. You see Bolt claims to be the arbiter of desperation showing videos of some young men who may not be accepted as refugees telling us they represent the bulk of the asylum seekers. He wants to stereotype the the general population by an exceptional few.
No doubt it's what Bolt's Parents neighbors said when they refused to hide Jews trying to escape the Dutch Nazis in Aalesmeer during WW2. Their motives for leaving were also for betterment they had no idea about the death camps or suspect and there was immanent danger. Nevertheless the Dutch killed a higher % of Dutch Jews than the Germans killed German Jews. Denial is denial no matter what any body says and Bolt is the speculative arbiter deciding these refugees are false. Imagine him in WW2
Asylum is not another word for acceptance of refugee status nor a right to resettlement. However Bolt has intentionally redefined and distorted everything that's occurring for his anti- immigrant stance and his accompanying political agenda.
Is Bolt offended because ignorance is bliss that yes if you think about it the Australian flag does carry with it not just an element but a strong statement of racism with it. Is Bolt saying racism is universal so get on with it. He's not saying that our laws and institutions which structure the way we relate to each other are inherently racist. That the history of these structures have produced enduring stereotypes and not just personal prejudices in the way we relate. So yes shut up you stupid white man nothing a black can say to you is racist in the same way as when you claim not the be racist.
Science is "speculative" Jarryd
" “However, based on our combined results so far, the overall
mortality rate is 22 per cent… Seventy-five per cent of the reef will
come out in a few months time as recovered.”
Bolt cherry picks a statement which by the way does not deny the significance of coral bleaching nor does it deny the findings found on the Northern stretches of the Barrier reef. Russell Reichelt is the chairman of the Marine Park and it's his responsibility to ensure the reef is a commercial tourist success and promoted as such, So he can't be seen using the language of scientists not as dependent on the reefs continued commercial success. Bolt may as well be quoting Minister Hunt here in saying the reef is as well as it's ever been.
" Dr Reichelt said Dr Flannery’s language had been “dramatic” and
“theatrical” and his prognosis, although of concern, was
“speculative"…
Reichelt has not denied anything Flannery has said but has used the word speculative. If a biopsy was done on Bolt and a cancer identified would Bolt take the findings as serious or just "speculative" Would he feel the need for immediate attention or lay back relaxed and say it was purely speculative and sit back and wait? If he was a Hawthorne supporter would he tell Jarryd Roughhead to play the year out because the Cancer researchers were really going to use his press publicity for their own political advantage in an election year to get more money? Which is the most sensible thing to do in this "purely speculative" situation?
1 Bolt gets excited that a month over the past 20 years signifies a trend, Remember Bolt continually saying the planet was cooling over the past 20 years because it wasn't the record 1998 high. He's not saying that any longer. There is a significant difference between variability before it's declared a trend which Bolt's and his deniers plan on. The problem Bolt simply struggles with the notion of peer reviewed science and it's history to the contribution of our knowledge in every field. If he accepted it in he'd be in deniers shock. However he does accept it he uses science in his everyday life and accepts it's benefits in this case he accepts the short term benefit of a pocket full of money for News Corp over and above the reality of scientific knowledge.
Bolt's right there is no respect by him of the role of Prime Minister. He seems to believe it's purely ceremonial and the PM needs to attend any and every ceremony going. Particularly those in memory of WW2 and Vietnam it seems even if it's 30 second passby. If Turnbull had attended Bolt would have been complaining that he wasn't paying sufficient attention to the election. In other words Turnbull is damned by Bolt every which way no matter what. Bolt has really never graduated from a being being a vexatious media pest fighting for personal attention. If the dead service men repatriated from Malaysia and Singapore were from WW2 how old were their families and were any blamed for not being able to attend? If they weren't why were they only required to a 30 second ? Nothing seems to interest Bolt other slagging off Turnbull. Apart from that 20km in Sydney traffic can be a 2 hour trip is Bolt suggesting the PM should have done a Bronwyn Bishop?
Is there any wonder these nutters have simply destroyed democracy in Australia simply by tearing down their own house. What they call free speech isn't speech it doesn't lent itself to democracy Turnbull can't peak his mind. It will lend itself to civil disobedience. If Labor wins the election we will see the Liberals for what they are once again out of control control freaks destructive rabble clambering for their careers not their electorates..
Cory Bernardi Slammed After Directing Followers To ‘Pro Rape’ Blogger
I'm sorry I think the sight of child slavery working Indian coal mines and those suffering from toxic poisoning caused by mining in New Guinea are far more scary worth sensationalizing than trying to put Henry Marr on Bolt's front page. Why does Bolt support scaring Syrian children and ignore their crying. Why is he conditioned to the crying of kid on Nauru?
What Bolt does is simply try to deflect from is any notion that Green ideology is based on science. It's just a scary religion and Henry Marr is it's best result it can deliver . Bolt' path to debate was lost years ago wasn't it? It went from total denial of green sciences to agreement and then arguments about the cost benefit of social policies. He now back to anti-science denial and "it's all just religious quackery" that's scaring the kid. Bolt never offers a debate just the routine deflections of semantics zig zags of what migh work when and the like.
Henry Marr the screaming kid is not an exception he is the consequence we can expect from Green Science. Bolt's exceptions are Exxon BP OkTedi Fukashima these are just accidents to be put aside even if hundreds of people men women and children were killed they aren't the rule If thousands of corporations are destroying lives and creating toxic waste that's killing ,not just scaring kids well Bolt ignore it. Henry Marr 's healthy screaming is Bolts deflection away from those truths. Henry isn't Bolt's exception but living proof that talking about the truth it is dangerous and cruel so shut up and be an Ostrich .
When there is reason for genuine concern born of an ugly truth then the Henrys of the world aren't important what is important is keeping them ignorant. Bolt's Henry is the exception because he has found out.
Whenever have we heard Bolt employing the use of "we" or "complex individuals" to Sudanese, Somalis or Arabic Australians? Did he use it to describe Nova Peris Bolt simply never uses it. Bolt doesn't complain about Australians using our flag to hide their racist faces he actually supports and protects them. Have you seen Bolt or Panahai use their photos when commenting on the masks used in Coburg,no!! However when our flag is used at demonstrations by racists and Bolt calls it Australian pride then our flag is a Xenophobic and racist symbol and Roz Ward was right.
Crime and dysfunction in a multicultural society is multicultural in a multi-class society it's also differentiated reflects just that the society in which we live. However it's not always reflected in the Institutional response. It's the rate of incarceration of Aborigines that needs to be looked at. It's the soft sentencing of white collar crime that needs a second look. It's why Bolt is an Ultra Conservative he ignores social complexity and the relativity of history from different perspectives. Crime pays if your one of the elite.
Dogs aren't pets as cats aren't pets if they are irresponsibly let loose to roam and kill Australian wild life. They are feral, I guess one can't expect much pet owners who are happy watch their ratbag pets turn on wild life whatever gives them pleasure or they can't be bothered minding them.. I'm with Bolt the idea seems fine to me let the army snipers deal with them.
"Hmm. I see his point now. Killing animals to save humans should come ahead of killing animals to save animals." Bolt
However here's where Bolt loses the plot The general mass culling of animals sharks or crocodiles isn't supported, nor should it be given priority because of the death of a human. Sharks and crocodiles rarely have the word feral attached to them.
"In mid-January 2016 it was reported that New South Wales Member of
Parliament Mr Robert Borsak MLC had been recently charged (by the
Department of Public Prosecutions) with several counts of perjury. The allegations related to an incident in 2011. As of 1 April 2016, the case was still before the Local Court of New South Wales, next due for mention on 21 April"
When has the words "temporary measure" been anything but a political lie at the hands of the liberal party. How about Joe Hockey's $10,000 worth of Cabcharge rides that couldn't be revealed for " National security" reasons. Well Peter Slipper's were. Will Joe Hockey's be released now that he's in Washington or does the same bull still apply? As for Bill Shorten's decision I guess Bolt has been feeling the pain of that 2% levy more than most and it's why he killed a tree to produce a book of little use. It might be used to hide illicit goods in drugs or money, because sure as hell nobody is going to open it.
Reason not to buy Bolt's book
Bolt playing with semantics believes he's actively "debating" but it's purely self indulgent wanking in his right wing closet.
"Roz Ward should be suspended for being a "Marxist" and as a consequence her Safe Schools program designed to keep all individual children safe needs according to Bolt to be dumped. However isn't a Safe School designed according to the needs of the individuals the antithesis of Collectivist? Isn't Bolt saying no to Finland's model of education? It is in fact regarded the worlds best we wouldn't want anything that good would we? Multiracial multicultural schools where social status and hierarchy are non existent and learning to learn is more important than training.
Education for Bolt is the indoctrination in traditional values morals an behaviors. It's fitting pegs whether round triangular or square into holes all of one shape. Isn't that closer to the totalitarian and Collectivist thinking he's railing about? So if Roz Ward's educational model parallels the world's best why should it be dumped? Oh because she's a "Marxist" even though her Safe School models aren't.
"
But wait. Where was this union when academics rallied to have Bjorn Borg
banned from teaching because of his (entirely justified) views on the
waste and ineffectiveness of programs to fight global warming?"
University union did not support Bjorn Lomborg simply on the basis of his politics. A standard background check and grading of Lomborg suitability as an academic found him under qualified to even be a senior tutor let alone the head of a newly Designed Department. A Department that would do little more than what any research fellow already does anyway. Yesterday Bolt asked "what was the value of a degree." Well the value of a degree would be worth far less if universities were paid $4 mill to just appoint captain's pick choices of academics by PMs. Just because a man has Dr in front of his name does not automatically make him an academic and it's Bolt ignorance to think otherwise. I believe on an academic standard rating Lomborg's qualification was very low 34 . Surly $ 4 mill was suitable for Lomborg to set up anywhere without the need to buy and ride on the back of a University's reputation. Then Bolt has little or no idea about universities does he other than that he had an unpleasant time at one and failed to make the cut. This is also a reason not to buy Bolt's book because it's really a waste , no the murder of a tree.
