10 MORE EXAMPLES OF THE AFRICAN GANG MYTH

I have heard so many people - including an academic last week - claim that Melbourne's African gang violence is just a media myth. Here are ten examples of that "myth" - bashings, carjackings and home invasions - all taken from news reports in just the past week. Something extraordinary has hit Melbourne, thanks to our refugee program.

1m

Academics, Police, Social Workers all claim African gang violence is a "Media Myth". Andrew Bolt Kevin Andrews and Mathew Guy claim it's not. Yet when Africans are alleged to be the cause of this massive crime wave and the statistics even when skewed against them show they at worst represent only 1% of the crime in this State. A State moreover that has a falling crime rate of 9% and as such the best in the country.
To actually accept reality that the history of this country is one of multiculturalism can't be done by Bolt because that would mean accepting that crime is multicultural and as such yes Africans too commit offences but not because they are exceptional form Africa or that they are black they happen to live in a Rainbow Nation where all of us commit crime.
However, it's not the conclusion Bolt wants us to believe so forget the stats forget the reality selectively chose events to prove his predetermined racist conclusion. Don't mention the carjackings done by anyone other than Africans and you have an argument that's not original, has nothing to do with reality but one that you will find that was applied throughout history to other unwanted minorities by racists exactly like Andrew Bolt. White Racists in the US, South Africa, Germany, and Holland have all done it against people of colour, Jews, and Muslims and when the statistics were looked at objectively were proved wrong.
Bolt's no genius someone who has a unique grasp on our statistics of crime. But it's strange in many ways. If he were concerned at all about the social damage and cost of crime to Victorians why doesn't focus on Corporate Crime? Middle-Class Crime crimes generally committed by his social peers that impact financially on hundreds of thousands of Victorians a major cause of suicides, family breakdowns and mental breakdowns. Bolt ignores the damage caused altogether because that's not his purpose his purpose is stereotype, magnify and amplify the acts of a specific group in society and tell us they are exceptional specific to that group and that it unwanted because they simply don't fit with "his tribe" that's never defined. Bolt promotes 2 myths one of "them"  but a greater myth he never really defines "us" when in his case the "us" is limited to an exceptional few. 71% of crime is committed by Australians

WRITERS FESTIVALS ARE TO EXCLUDE IDEAS, NOT DEBATE THEM

Caroline Overington on our writers festivals:  "They are so crushingly dull.... It’s panel after panel on climate change, or else the evils of Donald Trump, who won, guys, and can we please get over it?... Here are the three main [problems]: writers festivals are leery of conservatives; they are terrified of controversy; and they are snobs."

 "All the more reason to suspect that the real agenda of our writers festivals is not to explore ideas but reinforce the prejudices of the inner circle. It's not to explore ideas but keep them out.That's why you see so many mediocrities at the them and so very few giants."Bolt
Andrew Bolt is really confused, isn't he? He's actually talking about the Bolt Report where debate is off the agenda altogether the diversity of ideas simply doesn't exist. The Writer's Festival is far more like the Drum where diversity does.

FLANAGAN VS THE PURITANS OF OUR WRITERS FESTIVALS

Richard Flanagan may be an extreme eco-pietist who'd defend even an anti-Semitic jihadist. But bravo to him for attacking the tyrannical puritanism of the Brisbane Writers' Festival, now banning Germaine Greer and quashing real debate: "Who would have thought it would be writers’ festivals that would now act against such freedom? " Well, me.

3h3

 "As I say, Richard Flanagan is someone whose views I often find odd, if not positively alarming. Undoubtedly he would say far worse of me.
But I'd far rather have a festival which would host a conversation between him and me than one which would ban either of us - or Greer, Carr, Shriver and anyone else that may offend the gimlet-eyed and eager-to-be-offended puritans playing their tiresome linguistic power-politics."Bolt

I doubt if Flanagan knows who Andrew Bolt is and am certain he doesn't read him. So what we have here is self-congratulation on Bolt's part that he wasn't invited either and somehow beleieves he's an equal with this uninvited group who would never stop to talk to him.

 The Brisbane Writers Festival is fully aware of Bob Carr and Germaine Greer and realize their repetitive voices are more than well known. There isn't a Festival if it's only an echo chamber of what's been said and who has said it before. Festivals aren't meant to be Bolt's version of Anzac Day but are implicitly the introduction of new voices young voices and voices trying to be heard. Flanagan unfortunately isn't one we look forward to at moments like Brisbane either as entertaining as all the old bloods might be. However I doubt if they felt rebuffed for not being given center stage yet again.

 

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LEFT AND A CONSERVATIVE

I am marvelling at the sight of journalists and politicians who once mocked  calls to cut immigration as extreme now suggesting the Turnbull Government may need to do just that. The difference between a conservative "extremist" and a Leftist journalist is often just time.

25m
 Conservatives simply demand uniformity over diversity yet never clearly define what that means. "Others" need to change because Australia is currently a history of failure rather than success. However, the most notable failures have been seen to have occurred this century with the Howard government and accelerating socially and economically with the Abbott government which had the greatest record of doing nothing since John Gorton. No government really has done less than Abbott's to put the brakes on. That alone has stopped infrastructure now blamed on Immigration, stopped a uniform approach to the NBN which is a failure. The failure to deal with progress that has generated since we were once regarded as the worlds best economy is self-evident. Everything has gone backwards thanks to Abbott's LNP. Conservatives believe any changes to our caste system means loss of privilege for them and or their children and birthright and inheritance is the foundation of society. Mind you Bolt only achieved social mobility through marriage and not achievement.

The difference between Conservatives and Australians  according to Andrew Bolt is someone he seems not wanting to name but acknowedges hin as a writer among trash in the Speccie. Of course it's Tony Abbott preaching form his pulpit. There was another ultra- Conservative preacher not that long ago that told the Germans that they too had lost touch with their historic and Christian roots and that Germany was in danger of becoming "culturally adrift". He actually called for the burning of books in schools libraries and universities. He like Abbott and Bolt was an opponent of multiculturalism and focused his attention on Jews and the plague of ideas that accompanied them.
Today Germany says sorry and teaches that word to it's children no matter their their cultural or ethnic heritage sorry in case the country forgets where this man so  much like Abbott took them when it was too late and Kristallnacht happened to begin a hell never to be forgotten."
"On November 9 to November 10, 1938, in an incident known as “Kristallnacht”, Nazis in Germany torched synagogues, vandalized Jewish homes, schools and businesses and killed close to 100 Jews."
Andrew Bolt's  Islamophobia & Tony Abbott's Team Australia who are two migrants of disimilar backgrounds one a Catholic the other an ex Dutch Reform Calvanist claiming to be an agnostic who seem to believe they are part of elected few who can save us. Their's is constant talk that we are in the throes of losing "our" cultural heritage unless we sort the chaff from the wheat must scare the shit out of the Jewish community both of whom they claim to be allies of. Let alone all the other diverse minorities who listen to Bolt's friends be given platform to spew hate while he claps Stephan Milo and Lauren all imports not an Australian among them. All releshing an "I told you so" push back.

 

 LEFT CRIES FOR THE FAIRFAX THEY HELPED DESTROY

Katharine Murphy, Virginia Trioli and Michelle Grattan say they are in grief as Nine takes over the Fairfax newspapers they once worked for.  Gerard Henderson notes that all three now write for  Left-controlled media outlets (two taxpayer-funded) that give away free exactly the content that Fairfax needed to sell to survive.

40m
"The Left defends the bloated ABC that is, in fact, gobbling up media outlets of the Left, and then cry at the consequences."Bolt
The Myth of the extreme right and News Corp likes to perpetuate. The fact, however, is 80% of Australians trust the ABC so if these are all the left which they aren't then the right and the conservative right make up a part only of the rest. Which really tells us Andrew Bolt and his conservatives run commentaries with their backs to the all and that Australia is entirely a left-wing country. Now that's a myth Bolt would like to present.
Another Myth is that the ABC is competing with Media and that's why Fairfax and News Corp are in trouble. They aren't competing at all the ABC has programming that Free to air channels don't bother with. The ABC produces programs commercial TV simply don't bother with. and the notion of competition is a myth. Imagine for a single minute if Australia's News and information our source of information was The Bolt Report. Now that's what Bolt and News Corp strive for the total concentration of privatized, commercial media. In fact with this merger 86% of Australian media will be owned by 2 corporations.
2 Corporations vying for the advertising dollar and presenting information and programs to please those with $$$ does Bolt for a single instance suggest that Australians will be invited to a diverse range of competing ideas, not for a second there would never have been a referendum on same-sex marriage, there'd never have been a Royal Commission into banks. There'd only be the corporate run messages of the biggest advertisers. News Corp (Aus) and Fairfax simply structures business models drowning and clutching at straws to stay alive. Without New York News Corp (Aus) would be dead and Sky news barely exists. Without the ABC Australia would be reduced to a failed Democracy striving to be a fascist Ethnocracy

 

WHY WON'T THE ABC ACT ON BONGIORNO?

So much great reading in Gerard Henderson's Media Watch Dog blog, including evidence that ABC boss Michelle Guthrie does not understand or enforce the ABC's rules against a Leftist who uses racist abuse against a conservative. In fact, she falsely claims ABC commentator Paul Bongiorno deleted that racist tweet. Read on.

1hLINK

  I don't think Andrew Bolt has much of an argument here when he sponsored Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux on his show. They had the most degrading things to say about Australian Aborigines that has been heard on public media. Andrew Bolt happily provided them with the platform to do it without the criticism he's directing at Bongiorno here. I do agree "uncle Tom" isn't the most appropriate term to apply to Mundine on Australian media as we aren't American however "coconut" is generally what indigenous Australians think of him. Bongiorno is simply using a descriptive applied no just by himself but most Aborigines with a voice.  He's regarded as black on the outside but Bolt in the middle.

 

NAH-BUT-YEAH: MORON FACT-CHECKER DEFENDS MEDIA HATE OF SANDERS

The Washington Post's fact-checker is a moron: "White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders [claimed]  the media said 'that I should be choked'. Nobody advocated for Sanders being choked... MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace ... instead asked a reporter if she ever wanted to 'wring' Sanders's neck."   

23m

Wordplay is what Andrew Bolt calls "debate" remember he's indigenous and has seniority because of it. What a moron he proves himself to be when he's and advocate of "free speech" but simply rebuffs what he doesn't like with little more than vacuuous word play. He's a great reminder of Tony Abbott's claim to being a Rhodes debator with his 28 seconds of silence and dumb stare on Channel 7. Now that's real conservative debating action. 

IF KEANE ATTACKS ME, JEWS SHOULD KNOW WHOSE SIDE THEY'RE ON

Crikey's Bernard Keane makes up stuff to paint me as an anti-Semite when he himself claims Israel is guilty of "murder of unarmed protesters" and "systemic illegalities" under "the Netanyahu regime" and its "apartheid system".  He also defends the boycott of Israel. Jews should realise his attack on me is an attack on their ally.    

1h

Word play sure is Bolt doesn't seem to know the difference between Jews and Israel. He doesn't mention that he was not just attacked by Keane but he was screamed at and called an idiot by the president of a major Victorian Jewish Society the Jewish Community Council of Victoria, Jennifer Huppert. Keane didn't attack or criticize Jews he took aim at Israel. Bolt it seems took aim at Jews and he hit his target whether intenional or not the fact he's not saying sorry is sufficent to prove he's not an ally but a fake friend just as the Dutch were post WW2 when they claimed to be allies of the Jews. Well the historic record shows otherwise and so does Andrew Bolt.

TWO MORE BRUTAL CRIMES BY AFRICAN GANGS

ABC staff savaged Channel 7 for reporting this week on African crime in Melbourne. Since then: "A man was bashed with a fire extinguisher, stove top and metal pole ... by three men who forced their way into his house." And: "A gang of young thugs fired a Taser at a teenage boy in a terrifying robbery." But don't mention the race, protests a lawyer.

5m

When it comes to rape  Bolt demands the use of "some". When it comes to crimes by "whites" he again ignores it altogether, He rarely talks about corporate crime which tends to be 99% per cent"white" and he never mentions colour or race. The consequences of white crimes have lead to family breakdowns, bankruptcy, suicides and mental health issues for it's victims but that's not violent or brutal enough to report and then for Bolt, it's the action of an exceptional few and not the potential of the collective.
 However, let African youth put a foot out of place it's as if all Africans are Australia's public enemy number one. They're black and there are hordes of them and if that's not reported in the way Bolt wants the media source is said to be in some sort of cover-up liars and pretenders.

Bikies fight, drug gangs kill each other, football fans fight and but drive-by shootings occur and in Bolt's world however only Black Africans matter and it seems as if Melbourne is the centre, why is that? Is it because there is only one Andrew Bolt ultra-racist and he's here reporting it in those terms? The length of his report here indicates just how desperate Bolt is to find evidence for his conclusions to tell us black Africans aren't wanted and don't fit.

1) He starts with 2 incidents have Bolt repeating himself making out it's more.

2) He stretches events out and goes back to 2009 9 years to collect evidence

3) He justifies mentioning race, tainting the collective and thus punishing all but not so "white men" to them it's an exceptional "some" and that collective are victims of false accusations by women. They aren't animals sexual predators they are just men.

4) The police are "pretenders". As are "many" politicians why would that be? When Bolt's offensive narrative of reality isn't true? The only truth is the extent his false narrative is permitted to be played out on Murdoch's soapbox News Corp and which allows him the loudness of voice.

5) If one person in a family of four is a repeat offender the specific statistics for that family look bad and the Bolt principle is to blame the family you have to. He does the same with Aborigines it's their Culture. 
Bolt's a repeat liar, been found so in our courts lost defamation cases. Bolt logic then says his whole family is worthy of suspicion and that blame they are a spoilt collective in Australia and don't belong. No, in his case the opposite is his truth they are victims of false accusation. He doesn't point out any positive of African Australians, does he? " African/Australians tonight, who, in my experience, are highly educated, freedom-seeking, contribution making and generous of spirit in a traditionally Australian way. Most are smarter, more genuine than those who seek to tear them down #NotmyAustralia"

Bolt spends a lot of time telling us how good he is (off a small base) but he uses the same statistical method to vilify a whole community when it could equally be praised as he claims he is.

6) Bolt is clearly a part of the racist minority who use " necessary descriptors" to explain exactly who he is. He's driven by his minority political position exemplified by that senseless unAustralian group of politicians like Abbott, Dutton, Andrews, Guy, who found the Cronulla riots a means to garner votes by crying wolf out loudly in the community. 

 

 WHITE GANGS TERRORISE AUSTRALIA - Politicians Refuse To Acknowledge Problem! - » The Australian Independent Media Network

 A gang of predominantly white males has been threatening our way of life and making people feel unsafe in their jobs. The IPAx gang has instilled fear in a great many Australians but our current Federal Government refuses to admit that there’s a problem, in spite of the fear that they instill in many people. For example, the ABC are so intimidated that they frequently invite them onto their programs, claiming that they do so in the interests of “balance”, when we all know it’s simply so their presenters don’t have to be afraid of going out to dinner with the PM.

 

THE MIRACLE OF THE RESCUE

Column Why did so many of us — from Australia to Kenya, America to China — worry for days whether these total strangers could be saved from their flooded cave in some part of Thailand we’ve never seen and never will?

Bolt is the claimed agnostic who doesn't know if God exists but is also Christian both supporter and denier who nevertheless believes in miracles. What a confused wanker he is.
 Technologies progress, science, coupled with ingenuity, rational planning and bravery saved those boys. The thousands Bolt's talking about certainly didn't fit in the cave nor fill a stadium and gave advice.
 However if those boys and their families wished to come to Australia Bolt would be the first to stop them and say they weren't Christian, didn't speak the language well enough, and basically weren't a part of his Aussie dream family even if they were persecuted, near death for any other reason. They'd be turned back with Bolt Dutton and Abbott leading the chant.

 Bolt on any other day calls that ingenuity backed by science just another Religion. He belittles people wanting to save children from danger and death and lauds their incarceration. But here he is today wanting to become the centre of the media stage singing Hallelujah What an ugly man this Andrew Bolt is. What a nasty little man who offers no hand out himself but wants some of that glory in his personally hypocritical editorial praising himself by standing on the shoulders of his opposites.

CONFRONTING WARMIST MARK LYNAS

Don't miss my interview of top warmist Mark Lynas on The Bolt Report  at 7pm.  He's already said he was wrong to fight GM crops and nuclear power. I confront him with another fake scare: his claim that global warming caused Australia "to lose so much water" than we'd had a 1-in-1000-year drought. Plus: the MP smeared as a sleaze over Bikini Day.

5m1

 Firstly is Mark Lynas a Climate Scientist, no? So rest assured Bolt isn't attacking the science. He is simply another Bolt, an opinionator who unlike Bolt has readily admitted to not having read peer-reviewed science.  But I can guarantee Bolt hasn't either. He hates academic research dealing with facts and verification. Lynas also unlike Bolt is prepared to say he might be wrong and that's the point Bolt will try to present doubt as he rarely admits the error of his ways. If he's wrong Bolt generally moves on in silence. However, Bolt gives Lynas the credentials as he gives himself "experts in the field" and consequently spokespersons for and against  Global Warming. False, from the get-go.  Lynas will find himself part of the Bolt show. however.  Bolt will raise Lynas to the level of expert in order to raise himself as one when neither are and both make a living from opinion only. 

 So here we have Andrew Bolt jumping on the anti- Science bandwagon again after watching applied science and technology save 12 kids and their coach from death and applauding the decision-making process that delivered a successful outcome. The process Bolt calls "just another religion". Probability and not certainty drove those divers and doctors to take the risk and predict that they might save those kids from imminent death. Bolt yelled Hallelujah but no such chorus saved those kids. Bolt went apeshit praising the multicultural efforts in saving those children but underlying everything was cold hard pragmatism guided by science to beat otherwise hostile physical conditions. 
However, his principles flip when it comes to the "predictable certainty" he demands of Climate Science and the associated technologies and research agreed on by 97 % of scientists and not priests like Bolt who simply denies them what he cheers in Thailand.
Bolt shows he bats for a team rather than any logic and rationality delivered to us by those same people that developed the capabilities that saved the 12 kids and their coach, scientists and yes 97% of them that confidently predicted possible success. 
Andrew Bolt is a true bundle of contradictions a denier yes, but not a sceptic, a religious nutter who claims to be an agnostic someone who doesn't know and is uncertain but then turns to faith for  his reason to doubt to really hide the fact it's paid interest that actually drives him allied with the IPA's and News Corp's.  He is totally undereducated ignores true scepticism, Scientific Method. He is simply an opinionator who is little more than a paid puppet of lobbyists whose idea of critical analysis is simply, single-minded promotion of donor interest in a particular political outcome and cause spelt out by the associated members of the IPA an organization started by Murdoch's father as far back as 1943 which has become far more politically active today in the 2000s. Bolt's not a swinger just a one-eyed huckster with a tin ear and no respect for his audience unlike Lynas whose prepared to consider and read what Bolt doesn't. QED it's why Bolt's ratings are so small and he says they are great "off a small base". It's why he's not an international speaker but is, in other words, part of a small right-wing minority.

 

ABBOTT HATERS WRONG AGAIN ON ELECTRICITY

Australia’s competition watchdog has given Malcolm Turnbull and the media a slap: stop your anti-Abbott hysteria.  Abbott was right and you were wrong: green schemes and global warming deals like the Paris agreement "hurt consumers", and the government should subsidise a new, cheap and reliable electricity generator - almost certainly coal.

Repetition doesn't make things true. The reason we have a mess in power generation and price is because there has been a total disruption in the smooth transition to clean energy and that disruption has been largely political and caused by none other than Tony Abbott and the demolition of the ETS and his failure of all consequent attempts to abide by signed agreements he made in Paris. The building of coal-fired plants is simply a further attempt to stall any smooth and coordinated transition to. Abbott did the same with the NBN which he turned into a Frankenstinian mix of an internet system as well with high prices massive complaints and a total confused failure in both the speeds and efficiency promised. Telling us Australian business doesn't need any better it's just a glorified entertainment system we can't afford. It sounds similar, doesn't it?

The damage done doesn't mean continued band-aid solutions are the way to go to fix the mess Abbott put us in. Oh yes, temporary fixes are the conservatives escape valves but the ACCC is only saying that Abbott's solution is just another band-aid and not a fix. Currently, this government seems to be intent on crippling the NDIS as well in much the same way as Abbott did the ETS, NBN and the ABC all this is Abbott's legacy to this country.
Abbott is a Trumpster as is Bolt and their stupidity is seen when one sees them in light of Trump's appointments to head the EPA in America. The recent head Scott Pruitt was told to resign because he was such a political embarrassment. A complete warmist denier and destroyer of funding for anything to do with climate and environmental protection so much so the EPA can't even publish the results of its research. Yes, that was Scott Pruitt who has been succeeded by a coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler.
The similarity to what Abbott did and continues to do is more than striking and it shows just how unoriginal he is. He's clearly a Trumpster and as stupid.

 

 Western Australia police chief apologises to Indigenous people | Australia news | The Guardian

 Bolt kept quoting W.A police for quite the opposite police attitudes and admissions against the Indigenous Australians guess Bolt will remain silent on this admission. (ODT)
 The Western Australian police commissioner has issued a historic apology to the state’s Indigenous people, saying he took ownership for “past wrongful actions that have caused immeasurable suffering” and fuelled a sense of mistrust towards the force. 'Deeply sorry':
