Not a newspaper but a propaganda sheet

Coming from News Corp a commentator writing for the least trusted media corporation in the country and working along side the government is beyond  a joke. Bolt who claims to be and Agnostic Humanist reveals  himself for what he really isn't a sceptic or critical thinker who believes in moral relativism and the agency of mankind. Simply put he's quite the reverse a hypocrite who believes  news  ought be little more than  Hansard like or a stenographer's report on government activity. The very opposite of the qualities he claims to favor and support.

Any responsible critical thought which is  the nature of investigation  and reporting of an  independent media from government Bolt calls  propaganda which is in fact the opposite. What Bolt calls responsible reporting for Bolt is not independant at all but simply a tool of government. That is propaganda. Questioning is the basis of being rational agnostic and humanist everything Bolt is not.

Bolt's commentary does not emerge from gathered information and facts but rather manufactured information and facts  designed or created to make  commentary convincing. That's propaganda.

To quote Tony Abbott he said if you want good media you need to provide good government if you don't provide good government don't expect good media.

 

 

The Pope blesses the dying of Christian Europe

Bolt declares he's a Conservative Agnostic which is in many ways a contradiction terms. As a conservative his  political philosophy  favors tradition (in the sense of various religious, cultural, or nationally-defined beliefs and customs) in the face of external forces for change, and is critical of any proposals for radical social change. However Agnostics generally believe that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God. They fall among sceptics doubters and non believers which is hardly Bolt at all.

 Bolt also claims to be a rationalist yet eschews scientific method as a source of knowledge claiming it to be little more than another religious faith when it comes to climate change. He also argues for moral absolutes and opposes relativism. It explains  why he is so anti- multiculturalism and pro assimilation. Yet he claims to be a humanist who generally prefer critical thinking  which he rails against  associating it with leftist dogma. Humanists values the agency of human beings both individually and collectively over established doctrines or faiths where as argues the reverse.

He is rather an evolutionist stuck in a 19th century belief that our social fabric is like organisms inherently improving itself through inherited and progressive change over time the belief that by and large with social engineering and policing we are evolving for the better both socially and culturally. That a natural order has evolved and does exist. Bolt clearly knows what's wrong and what's right and the Pope of 2.2 billion Catholics is wrong and Tony Abbott is right. There are 9 Catholics in Cabinet. How many parishes are there in Australia?








" The Vatican’s two parishes would take in two refugee families ”in the coming days”, he said, setting an example for more than 50,000 other parishes across the continent."

Firstly Bolt calls this the dying of Christianity and second his maths is base on families of 5. Why for convenience or just maximization?

The fact is the majority of refugees Bolt talks of making their way leaving land farms and houses behind aren't in fact moving. There are 28 member countries in the EU that's 18,000. A number less than Australia has promised. But then again Bolt is panicking about that number which Australia has promised.

Bolt is the persistent scare monger it's why he has armed guards and disregards the following:

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,"

"The quality of mercy is not strained "

Beware the talk of us not doing our “share”

Links News Corp paywall, NZ, Daily mail UK, Washington Post

" Having been refused visas and unable to travel by plane, the family had embarked on a desperate and fateful bid to reach relatives in Canada. They weren’t fleeing ISIS, and they certainly weren’t fleeing the Syrian Arab Army. If they were fleeing persecution and organized murder of Syrians and Kurds inside Turkey, then it hasn’t been reported by the media."

Bolt make little mention of the fact that Abbott's generosity is at the expense of others and over the next three years. Had the ALP done this it would have been heralded as a Clayton's offer. The offer one makes when not making an offer. As Bolt showed during the Ebola scare he suffers from Moral Inertia.

Bolt's logic and lies simply show him to be a kicking and screaming anti- Muslim.

The Jews were once stateless but they were nevertheless  citizens with passports. However we said they deserved  support if they wanted allowed to come to Australia. Post war economic refugees. Syrian Kurds are stateless also but are denied citizenship in Syria and are unable to become citizens of Turkey or Iraq. They are by no means religious fundamentalists and have no sectarian motivations. They are fighting against ISIS for themselves and us. They are allies and fight in Australia's interests yet Andrew Bolt turns his back on Kurds because they are Muslim.   Of course he has an excuse  that they aren't  registered as or official refugees. They can't be because officially they are stateless and without passports despite being Syrian in the case of the Kurdi family. The crap Bolt writes about wanting a dentist is simply a distortion and shows  he doesn't offer truth but a smokescreen.

Bolt's notion of the "invasion" of EU is a fabrication what is a logistical processing problem he calls an invasion. Running out of moral reasons to stop humanitarian aid Bolt simply turns to a numbers game and  like bent cop selects countries for the sole purpose of making Australia and Abbott look generous. He could say Panama or Jamaica aren't taking refugees so aren't we great. The issue isn't about who is or isn't doing anything in this crisis it's what's needed to be done and why. Bolt always believes in going Dutch or just look after yourself. He is the man not to turn to in an  emergency. However if it's his he'd demand help. He's bystander who simply spends energy  justifying his moral by saying I'm not the only one or blaming others. He wouldn't piss on you if you caught fire.

"Australia is taking in more than many other countries think wise."

This is the big issue that can help define and save the Abbott Government

Link News Corp, Troll Peter BH 

China FTA was started by the ALP and was in the throes of completion when Abbott put pen to paper and claimed it as his own. It's what he tried to do when claiming Wayne Swan's success as the success of the Liberal government and calling any ALP action  a failure. In other words Abbott hasn't done a thing other than play politics and try to claim the political high ground. The misuse of 457 visas by corrupt businesses is entrenched yet the coalition is telling us it's doing well and any problems with it are Labor's.

 Why are the Chinese mega dairies wanting to import Chinese labor to run them? Is it because we are unskilled in dairy farming? Is it because they need plumbers, electricians and carpenters to run them? I don't think so. It's because this goverment has bent over forwards and said do what you want.

The lie being sold is

"But the problem for Labor is the ferocious anti-ChAFTA campaign being run by the unions, particularly the CFMEU, who strongly back Shorten’s leadership. The ACTU is telling MPs to kill ChAFTA."

The ALP aren't against ChAFTA they commenced it all Abbott did was sign. They do however  want to ensure that Australians will have job opportunities which currently isn't  guaranteed or have jobs threatened .  As for the mega- dairies have jobs been lost in their creation? Will jobs be created? It's a fair question  to ask and it's not just political grandstanding  which Abbott is doing.

 

 

 

 

Column - Aylan Kurdi’s tragic death is not what politicians claim

Link Bolt's News Corp paywall

" Bishop says taking in more Syrian refugees is indeed “under consideration”, without saying how many of those four million she has in mind."

Bolt's bullshit 4 mill refugees are not looking to come here or the West. However Bolt wants you to think they are. 

" You see, Aylan was not in “harm’s way”. He was not a refugee. His family was not fleeing danger." Bolt

What Bolt  fails to tell you the Kurdi's were a stateless family and had no papers. They weren't citizens of any country as they were  Syrian Kurds from Kobani and had fled to Turkey to escape the  ISIS takeover of their town. They were second class people in Turkey they watched  along with the rest of the world their town of Kobani destroyed some 6 months ago. They had nothing to their name but relatives in Canada

Bolt won't tell you that. Without passports they couldn't be officially registered as refugees you need papers to be recognised. It was the only thing keeping them from being accepted to Canada. They were paperless Kurds without a country much like the Jews who however did have passports. Bolt goes out of his way to support the Jews but with equivalent energy denies the Syrian Kurds and calls them "illegals"

Tony Abbott has had a moral melt down for the sake of Canning he's offered a faux increase in humanitarian aid. He's increased the intake of Syrians not Kurds who are our allies in the  war against ISIS.  However the increased intake is at the expense of others. By any other name it's really a Clayton's increase. A humanitarian increase when you don't want a real humanitarian increase. We won't be seeing any Rohingya here in the near future. 


Not drowning. Not battered by more cyclones. Not our fault

First: whatever Australia does to its emissions will actually make no practical difference to global warming." 

 Coming from the mouth of a Nationalist who denies we are part of a global community and therefore denies the concept of global science and would prefer the term planet wiped from the dictionary.

"Second: satellite data shows the atmospheric temperature has in fact not risen by any significant amount for 18 years now."

Bolt's made a significant shift from telling us the planet has been cooling for 18 years to a hiatus and now it's has not risen by much. There is no dynamic in Bolt's approach to science. Global science tells us that the man made warming that has progressed since industrialisation has been slowly accelerating and will continue to do so at a greater rate unless we do something. The science is not static as Bolt presents it.


"Third: Even the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change accepts there have actually been fewer cyclones and not stronger ones over the past century, which suggests Cyclone Pam is unrelated at all to global warming."

This also as a prediction is based on the fact of not doing things to allay the acceleration of warming and the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere the forward progress and acceleration of warming has commenced and is like a boulder beginning it's downhill journey. Deceleration  is dependent on reducing the CO2 by taking coal and other fossil fuels out of the equation.

 
"Fourth: 80 per cent of coral reef islands in the Indian and Pacific oceans have grown in size or stayed stable. Tuvalu’s main atoll has gained 32 hectares in the past 115 years. Parts of Kiribati have also grown, and it’s flooding had more to do with inappropriate development and Cyclone Pam, not global warming."

Bolt's non global arguments carry no weight to say the planet is not warming is a global statement yes but to say proof is that it's been cold in Melbourne this winter isn't. The same can be said of the fact that the rise in oceans on a global scale is not denied that it has not happened in Tuvalu. Simply you doctor can tell you have HIV but Bolt's denial I can't see it and I feel great today so fuck off.

Proof of Bolt's stupidity

" In short, this story’s claims about rising seas and worse cyclones devastating Pacific islands which Australia could save from runaway global warming are false in every respect."





 

(Only) Christian refugees welcome

The Tribalist call that Bolt constantly lies when he denies it. Too embarrassed to say it himself he elects others to do it for him. The selective Samaritan who really is a hypocrite.

 

 

 

 

"The federal government announced in March that 54 schools at risk of attack or violence stemming from racial or religious intolerance would receive a share of $18 million to improve security.  

The big winners were 17 Jewish schools and 15 Islamic schools, who were able to access the funds to hire security guards and install CCTV cameras."

 

"Mount Scopus was not able to access these federal funds for their armed guards, which will be supplied by a private firm."

Is it a coincidence Bolt wants to make it sound as if only Jewish schools are under threat? who has raised the banner of hate media more than News Corp and within the hive more than Bolt and Devine?

"Some newspapers now have armed guards, too. We have made ourselves less safe."

Bolt fails to mention which newspapers and why he has armed guards and for how long, "operational matters" of course. The $18 mill expense to us the tax payers is due to the provocation stirred up by the likes of News Corp and 2GB


 

 

  

 

Poll: Trump leads Clinton

Bolt loves insanity and just flaunts the day to day power of News Corp. Murdoch certainly realized the power of media and it's influence. His reach today is 37% of America. 67% of Australia and I don't know how much of UK. However he wants the BBC broken up the ABC diminished and and a greater US spread.

Murdoch doesn't like Trump because he's a wild card amongst the Republicans, a non politician whose unpredictable. However Fox News gives Trump the greatest air time of all candidates and rating wise of mutual benefit. Ratings spell $$$. What we see is a media Frankenstein in the making of it's monster.

How the media Left is corrupted by Twitter

Links News Corp Paywall Peter Fray & John Lyons

Complaining about the unfairness of Fairfax for reporting the general public's opposition to the ABF Farce . In future The media need to appear to be stenographers and should not engage in questioning the wisdom or lack of, of events. Bolt again is running the Peter Dutton position and crying foul. Tony Abbott on the other hand believes they are both a load of crock. If you want good media you need to be a good government it's as simple as that and Abbott has said it publicly time and again when in opposition.

"Fairfax didn’t in fact have the decency to apologise"   Any errors according to troll Peter BH require a large amount kow-towing in order to be convincing in  his eyes and  be received in his true holier than thou  Australian cultural style of your wrong so  lick my arse.

John Lyons who Bolt has called the liar and bull crapper and non- journo at the Australian is now his source.  All is obviously forgotten about what was previously said Abbout Abbott wanting to fully invade Iraq again. He'll just have to settle for bombing Syria for Canning. The lack of the media being like Hansard is the fault and influence of the twitterati. What's happening is Bolt and Dutton bemoan the past when the media had more control over the narrative like in the good old days of Goebbels. When the press and government could  walk hand in hand. It's bad because the Twittersphere in a sense is creating the loss of business and influence  once held in the news and commentary cycle.

"Bruns, from QUT’s Digital Media Research Centre, ... rejects the commonly stated claim that Twitter is skewed to the young and the Left."

" So, yes, younger, and what is the dominant politics of the media/PR/advertsing and political class?" Bolt

Bolt basically believe all institutions and  dominant professional classes have been captured by the left. Which goes to prove we are being ruled by a minority but fascist government with little control over anything. One only working for the 1% of the population and the mega transnational corporate class. The government has nothing to do with Australian citizens other than keeping under control. They only become punters of seeming importance once every 3 years.

 

 

 

 

 

Abbott and the art of attack. Not this defence

Links The Coversation Michelle Grattan, News Corp Paywall Chris Kenny, The ABC, Murdoch's Sky News

Let's compare journalistic reputation Bolt vs Grattan no more needs to be said on that score about"tosh". Grattan is saying Abbott doesn't govern for the country he fights politics as if a game  to be won for the party and the party alone. He has fought the style of game both in opposition and in government and it's why the country is not being governed and is stagnating.  Bolt has highlighted some issues Abbott hasn't chosen to tackle most don't however make him appear good.

It's exactly what Bolt is complaining about.  Abbott is too busy trying to select only the fights he can win but  should go back to doing what he did best as opposition leader an stay in opposition on everything. Strange, Bolt is suggesting all great leaders were really always in opposition? Would Abbott's 24 poll rating improve for being a bigger arsehole than he is now? Abbott can't even be convincing as John Howard because he's not John Howard. Abbott  went to Canning and said I know I'm hated please vote on the issues and not me i'm unimportant.  You couldn't be more honest.

So it's back to scaremongering

" The Chinese, if we muck around, will walk away. Bill Shorten will carry a very heavy responsibility if he tries to obstruct something that is overwhelmingly in the interests of Australia."

"Who do you trust?" falls apart for Abbott with all his broken promises the convenient jumps to the right coupled with his the lack of any holistic plan

 

 

 

 

ABC censors PM from his own book awards

 Bolt is like a sulking schoolboy picking his ring while teasing the kids on the other side of the play ground. They aren't listening. He hates them because they' simply look as if they're getting on with life. What's most important are the real things of the day not just created ones. Strange video to sneak into a topic about book awards.

 But then it's about Jonathon Green. Who is right to believe Goebbels would would have tried to stop today's technology but not out of guilt or shame but control. Realizing the impossible he'd need to have been more like ISIS. However Abbott is more a dullard and a man of the past who would like to hide information like Goebbels in order to control his narrative. Hide the mutilation of corpses on the battle field and the secrets in  Nauru but can't. He and Hitler are in fact acting in step when it comes to media? However it's the 21st Century and ISIS know it.

 U.S. Is Finalizing a $1 Billion Arms Deal With Saudi Arabia






The drowning of the boy is tragic, but proves nothing like what activists claim

Link ABC, Murdoch's WJS, Ottawa Citizen, Herald Sun, Andrew Bolt, The Age

The one thing guaranteed it's a long blog. It's about refugees. It's long in order to deflect and distort his Racist, Islamophobic, anti-multi cultural stance on on Immigration to Australia . We are apparently not and never have been progressive in being a rainbow nation according to Bolt but rather regressive. Progress for Bolt is to go back in time preferably to the days of mono cultural states . Forced assimilation is the positive policy. To achieve that cultural intervention the method. A war on multiculturalism is Bolt's call.

Firstly when has prohibition of any kind actually succeeded and at what cost. Had the Malaysian solution been ratified when Labour was in power 1200 people would not have drowned they would have been resettled in better conditions than offered today. Not on Manus not on Nauru and not in Cambodia where 4 people have been sent at the cost $14 mill each. We wouldn't have to hear Dutton say it's sad that we have to keep children on Nauru being molested and raped but we need to in order to "stop the boats" which must be done without any transparency because we are so ashamed.

Wars on alcohol, drugs, the Nth Vietnamese, on Iraq, on ISIS,  on homosexuality, on pornography, have never been won yet Bolt demands escalating wars of some kind at every turn. Stopping everything of" his choice" and disguising it as our necessity for all our good." deterrence is indeed the best response"has been the most expensive course of action with the worst outcome.

Bolt logic is rationality taken to a level of disgust and revulsion " Fact: Aylan’s family was not “fleeing war or persecution” Bolt never walks in any persons shoes other than his own." The Nauru process has indeed stopped families just like his." The truth being the majority of families on Manus and Nauru have been assessed as genuine refugees. Bolt loves to take single cases and then generalise and apply them to the whole. He does it with Climate Change, Unions, Aborigines etc He looks for anyone that might be regarded as an economic refugee and then he'll apply it as evidence to generalize all asylum seekers. When in fact those arriving here have in the main been declared genuine. Something you wont hear from Bolt. According to Bolt Aylan's family were not running to safety but  to relatives and a better economic life in Canada. His proof they were not registered refugees. The  moral crime here wasn't the honesty shown by Aylan's grieving father but the lack of compassion by Andrew Bolt. Aylan's family didn't explore all options.

But here's the rub Bolt uses this example to disparage the Australian intake of Lebanese, Afghani, Sudanese basically the intake of Muslims who according to Bolt, using this as an example To halt all intake. He takes minor migrant  criminality found in Australia to suggest his "significant minority" for whatever that means is in fact statistically significant.  " True, most Muslim immigrants make fine Australians. But a significant minority do not assimilate well or safely. Bolt's "significant minority" which turns out to  be in fact statistically insignificant when examined rationally. 

 

Bolt is simply scaremongering for implementing racist policies of the PDL, Reclaim Australia etc. If most are genuine why tar them all with one brush? Most crimes in this country are migrant related given 50% of us have a migrant connection. I'll bet that Afghani buried in Tarcoola was better treated there than  by the Dutchman Bolt.Step up and tackle the refuge crisis, Australia

John Hewson, Malcolm Fraser were Party traitors. Hawke, Crean and Ferguson  honourable men Party heroes according to Bolt. Can you believe him. Picked for purpose not for principle. If you have to pick Labor men pick them from the right. If your going to quote Liberal hacks pick them from the right.If your going to want media to support pick them from News Corp they are all right. Never the principle always the side. That's Andrew Bolt.  Did anybody notice how Rupert wants a snap election does Rupert always get what he wants? Labor is ready. Rupert simply believes it can't get any worse as far as he's concerned. He need a new senate and obliging government and that's all.

Ferguson talks of mythical potential industries without naming them. Hawke is always ready to be bipartisan however it's Abbott who never is it takes two to tango. If Hawke were leader of Labor now Abbott wouldn't dance. For Crean it's growth at any cost and he's selling the" trickle down effect " which has been shown to be just crumbs for workers. Even Crean says there's "misunderstanding on the issue of the 457 visas" That's what Shorten wants to iron out because he knows Abbott is only playing the political win game. There's enough corruption on 457 visas now to question further blind acceptance and expansion into the future. However that's what Abbott wants to fight about it's not about the FTA it's about Canning and the politics of winning fuck Australia and Abbott has picked his fight. Besides the FTA was always Labor's all Abbott has done has dipped his pen in the ink.

The position of the Labor right has always been compromise we can iron out things later. That might be Ok for side issues but work relations which is the heart and soul of the labor party the workers. Those who have no capital but only their labor to sell and  it's value to get by on. 

"Let’s get the facts on the table, we’ve got a process to do it, but down the track these are issues capable of being resolved, but most importantly, the agreement needs to be ratified, needs to be signed and it needs to be done this year." Paul Kelly

Paul Kelly is whispering like the proverbial rapist "Let me put it in a little if it hurts I'll take it out. Really it's for both our benefit" The chance of this promise being kept and of mutual benefit for all is what Shorten wants to nail down. He knows Abbott history and he wont abide by it but just want more . Yes it's all about Tony Abbott and his ideological intent from the get go if  he was dealing with Malcolm it might be quite a different story but it's Tony Abbott.
