Fighting Fake News with REAL; 11/12/21; Julian Assange; American Democracy, Rupert Murdoch's petty cash

 

 

 

 The US government has won its appeal to overturn a UK court decision and is a step closer to extraditing Julian Assange.

Assange’s partner and mother of two of his children, Stella Moris, said his lawyers would appeal the “abusive and vindictive” prosecution.

“Julian’s lawyers are intending to appeal to the Supreme Court on this decision,” she told supporters outside the court.

“For how long can this go on? We will fight, every generation has an epic fight to fight and this ours.”

Assange will remain in Belmarsh Prison.

 The gifts that America keeps giving the "little Digger" master propagandist of the English speaking world. He learned his lesson well after ridding us of Gough in the 70's "never support the poor". Going to the UK he was temporarily railroaded and having to do a publicly embarrassing Alan Bond performance in order no to be jailed and lose his media licence. He went to America and found his true destiny in how to truly fuck America and it's great experimentof how Capitalism if applied correctly can rid the nation of Democracy. Having done that and now politically allied with the conservatives and oligarchs of the anglosphere and is ready to sit back on his ranch and build the worlds biggest digital betting shop and show the Packers how it's done. 

Murdoch bought the property from Matador Cattle, a unit of Koch Industries. The deal is the largest ranch sale in Montana history, and comes about 70 years after Fred Koch, founder of the crude oil company that would later become Koch Industries, originally bought it.

The ranch is in south-west Montana near Yellowstone National Park, and features elk, antelope and mule deer.

There’s also a 45-kilometre-long river for trout fishing and 25 homes. The ranch has nearly 7000 cow/calf pairs of a variety of breeds, according to Matador Cattle’s website.

If it were only Bezos who thought like this, we could ground him, tax him, and be done with it. But he is only the crassest manifestation of a logic that pervades our ruling class: from Sen.

And so long as the rich and powerful continue to believe that there is an “out there” to absorb their messes, they are going to fiercely protect the business-as-usual machine that will keep the rest of us burning down here.

Date looming for James Ashby debt decision

How slowly things move when the LNP were in the thick of things.

HOW IMPORTANT are the repercussions of the Ashbygate conspiracy, the one that brought Tony Abbott to power and set in train a series of disastrous coalition governments, to today’s LNP?

Does anybody care anymore?

We are about to find out.

A decision will be made soon as to whether or not the already massive legal debt accumulated by One Nation's James Ashby will increase.

 

 

Guaranteed not the News on Sky

Sky News agreed to pay $40,000 plus legal costs, to air an apology during Ms Panahi’s program on Friday evening, and to publish an apology on its Facebook page and a separate corrections page on its website.

In a statement, Senator Hanson-Young said: “To use my family, including my 7-year-old niece, to launch a political attack is gutter politics.

The money will be donated to the Australian Youth Climate Commission after Sky News wrongly aired claims the Greens senator involved her niece in a dangerous anti-logging protest.

Big Brother

What Fox News does Sky News's Alan Jones and Andrew Bolt follow. They are the Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, the Dumb and Dumber of Murdoch's Australian stable. Even 2GBs Ray Hadley has shown that, along with Media Watch's Paul Barry, Jones can't read or understand  statistics while Andrew Bolt is little more than his blind Neanderthal follower drooling yes yes from both sides of his mouth.

Even the CEO of Sky News recently pulled Jones's ridiculously false commentary on set of stats encouraging Australians that there is greater danger from Covid if vaccinated. Bolt cheering Jones all the way. The self claimed most read Political Blogger and podcaster hasn't posted more than 2 posts in two weeks and is 107th on Chartable's podcast ratings. More often than not he seems to have  others do the talking for him. Others like Katy Hopkins who he stands shoulder to shoulder with.

These two anti-lockdowners and anti- vaxxers by the way work for Murdoch who demands his staff be jabbed.

 It’s also clear that Frydenberg has always had a ruthless streak, so perhaps he could indeed become prime minister one day. The Coalition has successfully changed leaders before the past two elections and Frydenberg is Liberal Party heir apparent. However, it will take more than faux opinion pieces in the Herald Sun to repair the damage done in Victoria and Kooyong, so if Frydenberg does want to become prime minister, he would be wise to force a Libspill before the next election.

Many Kooyong voters saw Josh Frydenberg as a “nice guy” prior to his attacks on the Victorian Government and demands to open up against health advice.

Morrison Reminds Australian Olympic Athletes That It’s Not A Race

 

 An absolute disgrace Morrison is leading like he's Trump simply saying "others are to blame".  Believing saying it often enough that Australian's are dumb enough to believe him. However we aren't and he's sliding in the polls.

Morrison’s outsourcing generals to blame moving forward while currently blaming everyone he can for Australia being last among the wealthiest of the world's nations and not even among top 100 in vaccinating its citizens. He’s certainly proved he’s never “held the hose” on fires, the pandemic, or anything when leadership has been required, only spin. He has however been  Australia’s No 1 tourist as PM rather than its manager. Proof; he has been sacked from even that role in more than one country.

In an interview with 2GB Radio on Wednesday, the prime minister said “very cautious” decisions by the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisations (Atagi) had slowed the rollout “considerably” and “put us behind”.

Reality Check:

The Bulletin

" Atagi’s co-chair, professor Allen Cheng, pushed back by noting in comments to Guardian Australia that its role is to provide advice, but the federal government remains responsible for making decisions and the vaccination rollout."

"In April Atagi advised people under 50 to get Pfizer vaccines, as the risk of complications from blood clots from AstraZeneca was greater than the risk of Covid-19 for that group.

In June, Atagi broadened the warning, advising people under 59 that AstraZeneca was not recommended."

 In Morrison’s own presser on the 28th June 2021, "

Prime Minister: Well, if they wish to go and speak to their doctor and have access to the AstraZeneca vaccine, they can do so.

Journalist: Any age group?

Prime Minister: So, the answer is yes, they can go and do that.”

 ATAGI themselves had NOT given this advice to him either. Morrison as he so often does, just created his own fantasy !

 

And for one final lie, Morrison claimed the following:

“Morrison said Sydney was going through a “tough time” with its Delta strain lockdown, but boasted that Australia’s Covid response had “saved over 30,000 lives” and the rollout is now administering 1m doses per week.”

Where did that number of lives come from and who really saved them? It was NOT you Morrison – it was the States and frontline workers ! And for the record, 1M doses per week has yet to be reached! Here are the last few weeks’ real doses:

Money for nothing, debts for free: the RBA, the banks and a negative interest rates warning

As NSW plunges back into lockdown, the banks have been warned to prepare for negative interest rates. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank has quietly conceded the banks have not lent the $188 billion pandemic stimulus, parking it in their $314b war-chest at the central bank earning no interest.

The Billionaire Space Race Is the Ultimate Symbol of Capitalist Decadence

Billionaires like Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk are parasites, worse than socially useless. But they’ve got to justify their existence somehow, so, like five-year-olds, they’re now pretending to be astronauts.

Ranking Australia’s billionaires as taxpayers

Which billionaires pay the most tax, and which pay the least?


 One might ask which is the bigger disease both kill and both are here and effect the poorest demographic in our communities the worst serviced the most(ODT) 

At 2% morbidity, COVID-19 would be a substantial killer of the old, the sick, the vulnerable, but as always this cost will be borne most heavily in third world countries, rural areas or those with undeveloped medical systems. Here in affluent Australia it will be a mere sub-component of the list of diseases which can kill us, and we will give no more thought to it than we do to Measles. So, don’t panic. If COVID-19 becomes a pandemic, the likelihood is we’ll just have to live with it. So we shouldn’t let it stop us living now.

CORONAVIRUS NOW SPREADING FAST IN EUROPE

Ten times deadlier than the flu, says our Health Minister, and spreading: "New infections were diagnosed in countries from Pakistan to Brazil, which reported the first case in Latin America, while Italy and Iran confirmed additional patients with the disease." Greece, North Macedonia and Georgia also report their first cases.

 Bolt seriously is simply an employee going through the motions come Thursday nights and he's out of there the weeks over. I wasn't quite like that when Abbott was PM Bolt was in favour and was leaked whatever it was Abbott wanted out there. Not today not any longer Bolt's yesterday's hero even in his own mind and so no longer finds the job appealing. Podcast failure, radio has been the phone has stopped ringing.

  The Coronavirus, watch the LNP use this as the fulcrum, their excuse on their lack of economic aptitude. The Coronavirus is a severe like flu. Yes, it's a new virus, and yes it kills but then so do many others. However, at the moment it kills at a higher rate in those countries with the least economic equality, medical technological services, and morality. Here face masks alone have seen a price hike from $2 each to $38 making them scarce and unaffordable for poor people.
By and large, it will in all likelihood reveal the size of the wealth gap hear in Australia yet that won't be the focus of discussion. One can see a hint of it in Bolt's banner the virus meant little to him when it was contained in China but now it's in the West it will no doubt be yet another reason for him to argue against multiculturalism, and for the racial and religious separation and control of global population movements. No mention will be made of the Wests' presence and historical invasion of Australia or the East, Asia, Africa, the Middle East or the Americas perfectly legitimate moves if a Westerner..
