News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.
Let us name Julian Assange's executioners. Joe Biden. Boris Johnson.

the UK Security Service or MI5.
It seems if I broke an American Law and am in another country I can be charged kidnapped or subjected to extradition. If not in a country where extradition laws apply rendition is also America's option. America is it seems a law unto it's own, and definitely neither a Democracy nor a signitory to any International laws or human rights.
The
outcome of Julian Assange's extradition appeal shows how overpowered
the British legal system was by that of the United States.
It's politicians like Antic that give respectability to Fascism rather than respect Democracy the Public Service and the Separation of Powers. America's Right_Wing says jump and Antic says "How High?"
Liberal Senator Alex Antic has been siding with America's extreme right wing while slamming Australia's COVID-19 response.
"Finally! Bill Gates and Elon Musk Agree on Something" the headline
says. I wonder what they might agree on? Could it be that neoliberal
capitalism is the greatest system ever devised by old white men in
Europe? Could it be that they both think electric cars are the answer to
our transportation problems? Could it be they both think technology can
solve any problem that technology creates? No, apparently what the two
plutocrats "finally" agree on is that technology that sucks carbon
dioxide out of the atmosphere is the greatest solution to the climate
crisis.
There are many forms of carbon capture technology in the marketplace
today and the one that Bill and Elon are most excited about is Direct
Air Capture (DAC). Through his global network of billionaire chums,
Gates managed to get BlackRock to invest $100 million through its
"charitable" arm as well as Microsoft, General Motors, American
Airlines, Bank of America and others. In total, the investment amounted
to $1 billion. This was all invested through Gates's non-profit Breakthrough Energy. Musk went a different route by offering a $100 million prize to any team that can present a plan to remove a billion tons of CO2 in a year.
Alyssa Farah is not a journalist; she’s a professional partisan apparatchik. She did her best to rehabilitate her image after fleeing the failed Trump administration,
but she cannot be considered a reliable source for information given
her lengthy history of lies and distortions. If CNN’s mission “to inform, engage and empower the world” is to be believed, what does CNN have to gain from her commentary and analysis?
Australia's largest bank is facing 87 criminal charges over unscrupulous practices in its life insurance arm — the first major bank to face criminal charges following the banking royal commission.
CNN said the 30-second spot about former Vice President Joe Biden contains inaccuracies and unfairly attacks the network's employees.
When speech is not equal, it's not free, and that was the very first thing James Flynn, an NZ academic, said to explain his point. Andrew Bolt and Flynn might argue for an ideal that everyone accepts. However, that ideal and equal world doesn't exist. In reality, speech-driven by power rather than logic needs to be called out for what it is as should the speech of the disempowered. Unless there is equality, speech isn't free.
The reason Bolt had Flynn on his show is he makes out he's an idealist and crusader of free speech when he's the very opposite. Speech is freer, louder and holds a significantly different use for Andrew Bolt because of News Corp. When he lead the attack on Adam Goodes and didn't pass him, the mike didn't listen to anything he had to say while lying about what he did and meant Bolt got slammed despite his privilege. Bolt claiming he's more indigenous than Adam Goodes showed he was louder, but again, in that case, he couldn't mask his stupidity, and he wasn't being paid to sustain it like he is Climate Denial which is just as stupid. For over a decade he told listeners the planet was cooling. You can say what you want, but the reality might just say otherwise, and the Bolt Report isn't a "free speech" zone by any means.
It's great to see CNN acting as a referee and not taking Trump money because it wasn't real speech.
As for Flynn's book in defense of free speech his publisher made a business decision and wasn't prepared to take a risk of losing money. No doubt they also consulted their lawyers and insurers in order to arrive at that decision. It seems to me Andrew Bolt fights for that right as his point of difference when he argues against bias in the ABC and for the difference in rights.
Already ensnared in an impeachment investigation, President Donald Trump has now called on another nation to probe former vice president Joe Biden: China.
Trump is now turning his crime into a heroic act as he did when he said not paying taxes is ingenious business, going bankrupt smart, and wage theft are clever. He'd gone bankrupt 6 times and has hidden his taxes his whole term. All you need do is flip the narrative, and you're a polished turd, grinner that simple nothing else has changed the facts have remained the same. He's promising to drop tariffs if China does his bidding and kills the Bidens. Under the American Constitution that's an impeachable crime Isn't it time the media united and called him a liar in unison? (ODT)
Andrew Bolt seems to be unable to distinguish the difference between ideology and culture. Western cultures are many and accept differing ideologies. China has a multitude of cultures as well, but one fundamental ideology and driving force "we" before "me". It's appreciated in the West by those that have adopted a belief in Democratic Socialism and differ from those that deny it's right to exist. The Netherlands is far more Socialist than Australia and even much more than Victoria and hoisted the Chinese flag today out of respect and appreciation.
Andrew Bolt even dreams of retirement there without disparagement in Amsterdam, which makes Bolt either ignorant or just more hypocritical. He believes in one step one colour and one tune no shade of grey or pink for him. He's much more aligned to Hitler's and Mussolini's dream or what the generals once accomplished in Paraguay. Authoritarian dictatorships, States with a single ideology like China's. He'd deny it of course, but his lips still move to their single-cultural anthems and steps.
Western Culture is diverse and has a socialist bent as well, so it's no surprise we are prepared to recognise China's 70-year social engineering miracle. An achievement that physically improved the lives of 1.3 billion people and has shown us that systemic change is possible on such a large scale without a world war. It has lifted its citizens en-mass despite facing initial historically armed resistance. China isn't the only country to have shown revolutionary change is possible. Nepal is in the throes of doing much the same, having not got rid of the power of it's corrupt Royal dynasty and elite entirely but democratised by Maoists with whom they now need to engage. Scandanavian countries moved left years ago and are admired for the social outcomes they have achieved. There has been resistance to these moves and has generally been overcome domestically, not from any outside influences. Today since WW2 that has regularly been by America with its 800 military bases strategically placed to support their ideology, not their culture. Women in Tunisia have a greater right to their bodies than Americans abortion, and equal pay has been there since the 70s
Socialist beliefs are currently standing out in Trump's America, and their appeal is really gaining traction among the Millenials and is being held back by traditional conservatives among Republicans and Democrats alike who fear to lose their power. They are Trumpsters and the swamp within their parties. Diametrically opposite to the likes of Bernie Sanders, the ladies Trump vilifies as "the squad", and today those white otherwise moderates that call themselves the badasses simply because they want him impeached.
One Nation, One song, One system is institutional secularism one that allows for differing ideologies and cultures but treats everyone as equal and is recognised by everyone but denied by the self-interest of otherwise wannabe fascists, nationalist and white supremacists. A state which Bolt would happily adopt here now. How unAustralian he is? But nevertheless, he's our dysfunctional prick. An unwanted fart in overcrowded elevator maybe, but unfortunately a bad smell in our lift. There aren't many of them, and they are free and welcome to leave, and we continually need to remind them where the door is in much stronger terms.
GAYS, LESBIANS, COMMUNISTS, UNIONISTS. ANYONE WE FORGOT ON HOLOCAUST DAY?
Why be surprised? Of course a fashionable student union would not mention that the Holocaust targeted Jews. Sure, gypsies, trade union officials, socialists, communists, pacifists, prostitutes, blacks, gays, lesbians and even "non-Jewish Poles". But Jews? Is London's University College Union really to mention them, too?
How needy does Bolt think the Jews are Holocaust is synonymous with Jews it's the others that were forgotten. Just as Bolt overlooks and never mentions the fact that the Dutch and the town of his origin Aalsmere was the most notorious in the whole of the EU for hunting down and sending Dutch Jews to death camps even more so than the Germans. Only 20% of Dutch Jews survived, and that was their well-kept secret until the 1980s What did the Dutch do with the above the same no doubt and we know what Andrew Bolt thinks of them.
That's the promise of "personal revenge" talking "Tony Abbott has told colleagues he is determined to stay in politics until Malcolm Turnbull is gone, promising he will be there to help pick up the pieces “when” the Prime Minister’s leadership falls apart."Abbott
There isn't a single note humility or change in that sentiment. However, remember Bolt running around like headless chook telling us he got the message and has changed he promised me he'd changed!! "Liberal MPs are pressing Malcolm Turnbull to strip Christopher Pyne of his position as Leader of the House."Andrew Probyn. Might they be the MPs from the Monkey Pod room? God talk about people caught talking with loose lips they are calling for Dutton Mr. Boomgate to take Pyne's place. Was Dutton ever punished?"A minister told the ABC that Mr. Pyne, who is Defence Industry Minister, should be replaced as Leader of the House, perhaps by Peter Dutton." Probyn Why do these people always remain unnamed? It goes to show however the ABC isn't as biased to the left as Bolt makes out it's who Probyn works for.
As for Catholics and Education, the Catholic Authorities admitted their opposition to Gonski was little more than an ambit claim tactic and they were pleased with the result. Pyne was right all along. Mr. Nope Nope Nope lives in the dark recesses of the Liberal Party.
The Battle between FOX Breitbart and CNN. Unless Bolt knows what the FBI has discovered he knows nothing. Breitbart is known for fake news and Fox is out to defend it's favored position with Trump any which way it can. Fox News has become Trump News and we know what that means for the truth. Media is a rating game in the US and they rue the fact that they don't have an Independent News Service created such as the ABC. Ratings have little or nothing to do with truth as we fully well know with our daily experience with Andrew Bolt. News Corp is the least trusted disseminator of News in Australia. All we have here is to liars warring with each other. Thank god we have Aunty. The origins of Bolt's story and media war was sparked by Jame's Okeefe whose reputation is explained here James O’Keefe’s latest attempt to expose CNN is a sad, attention-seeking mess blog June 27, 2017 5:43 PM EDT
and the Trump administration has lauded with the support of FOX and News Corp. When Andrew Bolt promotes himself as educated at Adelaide University when in fact he dropped out ofailed after first year and declares his Bookk as one actually put out by the IPA and edited by Alan Moran in which Bolt merely has an article. What kind of journalist/commentator are we expected to think he really is? " Viewers will probably believe what they hear, though: a CNN staffer with no involvement in CNN’s political coverage (this isn’t mentioned in the video) speculating casually about CNN’s reporting on Trump’s possible involvement with Russia. The video also showed the same CNN producer claiming CNN makes reporting decisions based on ratings, a shameful tactic that’sreallyno secretat all -- and one that doesn't account for warranted, extensive reporting on an undeniably important story." O’Keefe’s videos often fall flat and rarely match their billings. He has had to issue public apologies, been arrested for trespassing, and foiled his own plots, yet his videos have been promoted by the president of the United States. O’Keefe also regularly incites his loyal internet followers to practice their own brand of “investigative journalism.” His latest attempt -- a nearly nine-minute video called “American Pravda: CNN Producer Says Russia Narrative “bullsh*t" -- is yet another sign that O’Keefe has no actual interest in reporting the truth, but instead produces video art projects for the sole purpose of getting attention from one of his biggest fans, President Donald Trump.
The privatized energy sector has been a disaster the gas we have has been sold and now the Liberals are calling for the state control of the gas supply. Isn't that the core value the Liberals deny the socialization of energy? Seems to me we need to socialize many more things that the Liberals Sate and Commonwealth refuse to consider.
Bolt doesn't explicitly say he stole this story from Fairfax does he?
When Bolt was found guilty of vilification and was due to be sentenced he had the full force of News Corp behind him both financially and as a character reference as well no doubt. Waleed Aly is a member of the Richmond football club and entitled to stand up for Houli, so is Andrew Bolt it's noted that Bolt wasn't asked to provide any reference for Houli and it's clear that if asked he wouldn't have. However last year he was praising him as if he were a pet dog and telling us Houli was an exception among Muslims a well bred one a reference it wasn't because it came from Bolt. It may as well have come from Pauline or the leader of the UPF.
Now given Houli wasn't facing the judiciary but the AFL tribunal and given Turnbull knows what Houli does for the community outside of football Bolt seems extremely petty and small minded ,just point scoring knowing full well he doesn't pass the character test of most Australians. Respect is raised for those that don't stand up for him, not those that do and what a minority they are.
"If they are Somalian, they or their parents were almost certainly brought here as refugees."Bolt
Accusative with the admission he doesn't know. However, it reminds me of the photo of Bolt the brawler in Carlton. He attacked 2 young pranksters that glittered him. I don't think people in glass houses should throw stones. Here is the warning Bolt ignored Heart surgeon dies month after alleged one-punch assault
Conflating such two disconnected issues. One same-sex marriage a human rights issue against who at this point in time should be our team leader. A tactical issue in the game of politics. With a third issue if and when a change is forced who would you prefer as leader a question of conscience. None of these have anything to do with "loyalty" after all Pyne wasn't married to Abbott or in any other way connected other than they were both members of a "broad church" Pyne fought tooth and nail to get Abbott elected and it's good to note he wasn't just his lap dog. If No Religion is Australia's greatest Census category of faith coupled with Non Christian religions how can we deem to be a Christian Country rather than simply a Secular one?
It seems people like Bolt have just been Bulls..tting us and Christianity ought to be taken out of our school curriculums or religious teaching should be turned into comparative religious studies. Further what we are confronting is not a religious issue but a Human Rights issue with regard equality. It highlights the fact that Australia remains the only Democratic Country in the world without a Bill of Rights and why we sorely need the AHRC
Abbott's Conservatives attacking their own but don't have the balls to split. It seems there are no conservatives among the young Liberals and feels as if those in the Monkey Pod apse of the otherwise broad church are the ISIS of the Liberal Party and Australia. They are like broken eggs in a carton on the nose.
Bolt fails to mention the massive reduction that took place in Europe in 2016 compared to 2015. Nor doe he mention these aren't permanent but asylum seekers to be assessed. Yes Bolt is crying like Chicken Little in Europe which e can't fix or do anything about because Europe's elections were basically all won by moderates. This isn't information this is merely shit stirring in order to print that the conservatives stopped it here which isn't the case either. The boats had stopped coming under Labor when Abbott was refusing a deal with Malaysia which became a farce executed by him with Cambodia. The world in fact turned their backs on the man down under telling them what they ought to do. Has anybody noticed that Bolt has a strong apartheid attitude when it comes to Africans a Boer Afrikaner attitude as opposed to a British one
Bolt is Bolt illiterate look at this banner?Who said Abbott was a loyal back stabber oops, backbench-er. Who said they didn't want to raise Abbott from the grave. Andrew Bolt said it and Tony Abbott said it he wasn't Caesar. If you believe this bullshit why on earth would you even acknowledge the possibility of having the Aussie Trump back. I say Aussie Trump because while he can't match the bling he matches the lies even to himself.
Watch Andrew Bolt supporting ISIS telling us what Allahu Akbar really means to this truly world religious movement. Bolt is Australia's greatest enabler of Terror insisting ISIS is the true interpretation of the Koran. It's like saying the wacko sects of Christianity are the true interpretation of the Bible. Bolt is promoting and recruiting for ISIS in plain sight
AGL's transition away from coal doesn't begin until 1922 but until then they are using that dirty stuff. AGL closing of the coal-fired power stations was factored into their accounting when those stations were first built an economic decision made some 25-30 years ago. The hike in pricing has come on the back of opportunistic pricing of gas to Asia and the contracts written. The privatised competition of the energy market and even more the opportunistic politics involved. Imagine Victoria is considering importing gas. Bolt is now crying crocodile tears for the Mining companies who are losing the battle of world opinion not to Green Politics but to the Free Market where Business, Finance and even the majority of politics has now turned to the idea that Clean Energy is, in fact, the world's cheapest and is the only way forward for jobs and economic growth and investment. Andrew Bolt sounds more of a Socialist calling for the political control and management of the Energy market.
Man the Boats and baton the hatches 50% renewables will lose jobs and raise the price of energy in Australia. Germany just reached a figure of 85% energy from renewables why isn't their power grid more expensive than ours? With battery storage power will be next to nothing. Investment will go through the roof. Finkel is Australia's top scientist. look who Bolt has cobbled together to deny his claims Judith Sloan for News Corp and the IPA's Catallaxy Files and News Corp's David Crowe.
Basically Bolt only claim is "we don't know what we are doing" the claim that science is wasting our time. One thing that stands out is that the Power Producers, AGL,Origin and Eugenie, are all openly telling us they are transitioning away from coal. Business is for the transition and the stock market and Banks show investors do too. The only ones left standing are the Mining Companies and the extreme Conservatives. Bolt insists that the government step in and change the direction of it's policies to stop the tide of divestment from dirty energy and increase the regulation on clean. Government intervention for the few and not the many which they deny. Doesn't that make them Socialists a very large step towards a controlled market? Something the have always called Mad and Bad.
Bolt who ignores the history even denies the history of Australia and it's white privelige is begging to be treated equally to be charged with affray as was George Colombaris for a simple shove at a football match. If First Australians and the homeless reacted in the way Andrew Bolt did in Carlton to a glittering they would have been charged and locked away. They certainly couldn't afford bail let alone the public performance Bolt has been doing for PR's sake to avoid the equality of justice. Yet again News Corp is paying for that time and space the platform normal Australians don't have access to. There is no Reverse Racism in this country imported or otherwise other than the the systemic ideas and tactics Conservatives import to prevent change and any loss of privilege.
Black nerds, Bolt would never acknowledge the fact that a Black Phd could be smarter than him even if they were an Uncle Tom he doesn't do it for Muslims either so why would anybody expect to do nothing but mock Indigenous Australians.
It wasn't until the1980's that land rights were recognized and the 60's when equal pay was guaranteed. Two rights his parents had when they stepped off the boat. Aborigines could never raise the collateral for a loan. When savings were once the business off banks and not debt Aborigines were systemically locked out of opportunity and social mobility available to everyone else. Today the business of banks is debt and white men and other groups are becoming like Abrigines of yesteryear week to week survivors locked out of opportunity the living poor. Today poverty is making people more equal and we see it in the white homeless they are becoming more black privileged.
The word used here "I'm not a denier I'm a sceptic" "Climate Science is Baloney" "There is no global warming" "Climate Science is a conspiracy between the Democrats and Scientists prepared to support warming in their results"This is Andrew Bolt's reasoned smack down of Global warming.1) A self defined Sceptic Denier well I guess that's what Bolt is to2) Climate Science is a conspiracy invented by the Democrats who dole out $$$ only to Scientists prepared to support warming. Like NASA and NOAA3) I know because I started the weather Channel This dude really does sound like Andrew Bolt with an equivalent IQ4) Coleman managed keep smacking himself in the face and impressing only Bolt while doing it it seems. How old ist this clip which keeps referring to the Democrats in Government?
" Reader Matthew is wondering why the ABC is proselytising for Islam."
Yet again ignorance overrides reality when Andrew Bolt is involved Christians and Jews are regulars on the Drum we don't know but I'd be prepared to believe Buddhists are too. What we have is Bolt's reader supported by Bolt suggesting women social workers with head scarves are not entitled to opinions. I watch the Drum and I certainly don't see any Muslim bent in the issues being discussed nor do I see any emphasis being placed on religion of any sort. What I do see however criticism of individuals dress on the show not of any bias on the part of the ABC. Why is that untidy Rowan Dean always allowed on the show is equally as stupid a comment unless of course if it's made in jest.
Sure shows the Fossil Fuel Industry has the money to flog an Ad as opposed to scientific data by an appeal to history. That's hardly progressive and shows just how much Andrew Bolt is influenced by money for the selling of product. I wasn't wrong in saying that he and Peter Foster, Australia's notorious con man, have a lot in common in loving " the flogging of product" as opposed to the "reality of the product".Not all Dutch are backward conservatives chasing a buck.Climate change: Netherlands on brink of banning sale of petrol-fuelled cars
Andrew Bolt's already complaining "Thirty hours of filming condensed to one." Bolt that the documentary he was in isn't 30 hours it would seem. The very nature of documentaries is editing whether done by Bolt or a professional could you imagine just how boring 30 hours would be?
The Constitution as it stands is racist if as Bolt suggests it gives the governments the right to formulate laws based on race "Section 51(xxvi) of the Australian Constitution, commonly called 'the race power', is the subsection of Section 51 of the Australian Constitution granting the Australian Commonwealth, the power to make special laws for people of any race." Little or nothing will have been changed. However Constitutional change will be a hollow vessel unless backing and supporting legal Treaties. Bolt simply wants the denial that race is already written into our constitution his silence is an acceptance of it. Constitution and Treaty are not mutually exclusive one without the other is simply a symbolic nonsense and might as well be by passed. It's why there are so many indigenous peoples against it.
What Abbott started and Bolt has kept on for 6 years
This is not Andrew Bolt's Blog it's his Troll's Peter BH in disguise
AAA Ratings have been given to that Nation Bolt has bee saying has been burning for over 3 years. Abbott however said he 'fixed ' it something Bolt ignores as if Abbott is just a puppet who shouldn't get out of line. Australia's debt could blow out to 500 billion "if" is the game Bolt takes on board. The fact is Abbott took expenses to 25.8% that's easy. However reversing that is far more difficult but not for Boltians just cut the legs off the poor they are less organized to resist. Playing with figures does not give direction to what's morally just and right, That's a matter for the people to decide however we can be sure of one thing it will be more so that if either of the extreme minorities gain charge.
Bolt simply does what he does best in all his arguments he intentionally confuses individual incidents with trends differential rates suggesting a trend are rejected because Andrew Bolt has found an exception to what he calls a rule and what others call a statistically significant trend. Bolt, Malcolm Roberts all claim the Science of statistical observation is dead because there are always exceptions.
"A [black] policeman shoots a black criminal named Sylville Smith.
Naturally, this is an excuse for black racists, activists and
troublemakers to attack police, loot and destroy property."Bolt
No Bolt it's not an excuse but the statistics and the recent events make what's occurring understandable and CNN is reporting on what is increasingly obvious the rate at which blacks are killed by police and the consequent anger that occurs. When it became too obvious in Australia that detention centers were inhumane Tony Abbott closed the free flow of information and speech and you supported him. Strange when Section 18C and government interference gets in your way.
Somehow Andrew Bolt wonders why Syrians are angry when their women and children are killed by the west claiming they are only targeting terrorists. The Vietnamese are evil when 3000 Australians party before celebrating the Vietnam War. It may not be what they were doing but that number in the bars and restaurants sure give that impression. 1 mill of their people were killed and Bolt doesn't give a shit. What we see is the conservative bully boy dictating what's right and wrong from an unsubstantiated moral high ground with no clue for empathy. However let one person not on Bolt's team transgress rain fire and brimstone on them for Bolt isn't a Christian just god with a keyboard.
As for the woman in the CNN report what she was saying wasn't what the report was about so suck it up Bolt and realize your inability to just deflect the obvious narrative that's explained by the trend that has been so obvious for 200 years away.
Does Bolt really think he's Evil Kinevil I wonder whether or not he will mingle. Just who is paying for Bolt's security at Costco? How susidised is this book of Bolt's. Does he see himself as Australia's Salman Rushdie? He's just another sideshow trying to attract sheeple.
Bolt seems to believe that just because a door squeaks in a house it needs to be pulled down. According to Bolt we need to listen to the voice of those who want return of capital punishment returned but not listen to those who want detention centers closed."Sometimes it is a question of pride and moral seriousness for a
political party to fight for a losing cause. That is even more so when
the cause is so just and even supporters believe you stand for little." You see Bolt says he's a Humanist yet he believes in moral imperatives and absolutes it's why Conservatives have a history of taking us to war supporting the free use of fire arms and the denial of equal rights. Their is no country in history nor group the Bolt can set as an example of what his new society should look like yet it's a moral necessity.
Bolt's already contradicting himself calling for the regulation of and banning of Safe Schools program and denying the equal right of people being heard and treated with respect. Bolt seems convinced that biology is a forbidden area that even adults shouldn't be introduced to let alone children and information needs government regulation and policing and he thinks Section 18C is unfair. Yes 1+1=# in Bolt's world
Bolt really is a dumb f#$k or he simply doesn't understand the movements in the stockmarket. He does seem to understand however his personal ratings are fantastic "off a low base" so he has to have some insight. The coal stocks crashed to and extrmely low base the lowest on record and like Bolt any rise is sold by marketeers as a huge rally Bolt lets it be known he's king and so is coal does that make him Old King Coal? The stock market no matter the stocks doesn't always reflect demand but money men and punters placing bets. Bolt's IQ is certainly lacking. The reason given for the the rise is the 16% restrictions by China in it's own mines and the closure of mines globally hardly a spike in demand.
