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.
So
Yassmin can't disparage war veterans but Andrew Bolt can Rory O'Connor
doesn't look 90 years old and he didn't fly over Germany his uncle did
and these are his words a veteran who Andrew Bolt is calling "deranged"
Yassmin gets the sack when she didn't malign anybody Bolt is allowed the
freedom to malign a veteran who saved Europe's ass. " My uncle’s 90 years old and he said: “I flew over Europe because a
man destroyed the world saying ‘I’ll make Germany great’.” And he said
“there’s a bloke in America doing the same thing”. And there was real
fear in his voice. So when I heard that he [Trump] was pulling out of
the Paris Agreement I just think – this isn’t new. And why are we so
surprised." Who if anybody has the right to make comparisons with Hitler if it isn't somebody who fought him and lived it..
Bolt was left naked standing alone complaining about Margret Court being put in her place by Cate McGregor a regular conservative on his show.. He's shut up about the head of ASIO because he's been defended by Peter Dutton and that refugees aren't terrorists. Bolt was put in his place having a go at Adam Goodes and so he tries to have a go at another Indigenous person elected to be Deputy head of the Press Council why? So he can use it as a paywall. Carla McGrath is a consumate professional and has been appointed to the boards of many organizations.
The Australian will boycott Press Council decisions of ‘political stack’ Carla McGrath
"The
spokesman said Ms McGrath was one of more than 20 council members — who
include public members, publisher representatives and independent
journalists — and was chosen for her “Torres Strait Islander background
and younger perspective, as well as experience in corporate governance,
which adds to the voices around the table”.
“The
Australian Press Council seeks to embrace a wide range of diverse
voices and perspectives on its council, including among other things
geographical representativeness, age, vocational background and world
views,” he said.
“These include, for
example, a former state chief justice, a veterinarian, a retired
headmaster, News Corp, Fairfax Media and AAP (representatives). As
proponents of free speech and press freedom underlying a democratic
society, we welcome the contest of ideas in the media, as well as in our
own boardroom.”
Given the variety of people from all walks of life are appointed to the board of Get Up conservatives,moderates,and the left alike it appears Bolt's personal grievance is that Ms McGrath is an Indigenous Australian. Never mind that she has wider experience and is better qualified than Andrew Bolt and the News Corp hack that wrote this piece. Never mind that she has had a history of acting as a consummate professional. Nevermind that members of News Corp are on the board as well or that she won't actually be adjudicating APC complaints. Bolt along with his News Corp cronies have chosen to attack her why? Only one reason is left that stands out yes it's her race.
It's amazing just how fearful of due process the extreme right are. It was fine to demand and accuse Hilary and cheer when she was investigated. It's fine to complain that investigation got it wrong and that she should be jailed but say a word about Bolt's Donald the man he laughed at before being elected and the investigative process is suddenly skewed. By the way the first person on Bolt's list is neither a journalist or a Democrat but Paul Ryan is a Tea Party Republican. Bolt doesn't seem to know whose who in the zoo he has overlooked John McCain another Republican in his list of Trump Haters.
There has been a lot said about George Pell none of which counts. Due process is given a wide berth however in this bru ha . Bolt hasn't mentioned Pell and the Jews has he but the Jewish news had an opinion on Pell too.
The guts of the matter is if Andrew Bolt or Gerard Henderson were accused of sexual abuse and persons declared themselves to be victims and not just complainants the process of investigation needs to be attended to by one or more of our institutional bodies. No matter what Gerrard Henderson or Andrew Bolt has to say.
Noted Andrew Bolt started to attack the head of ASIO the day before yesterday. He has quickly shut up 1) because Peter Dutton is defending him and 2) because Tony Abbott strengthened the organization to make us safer and Bolt suddenly realized he couldn't be seen disparaging Tony Abbott could he.
Forget the Climate , Forget Science for the moment, Clean Energy is a mentally deranged idea that hasn't got anyone investing in it and those that are are just apparently being conned. Banks are divesting in fossil fuels, private investors are divesting and nobody believes in clean coal. So the Kochs need saving and the free market needs to be shut down by Trump. The US EPA needs to be shut down, scientific results shouldn't be published and regulations need to be passed to slow down investment in Green projects. This is the advice coming from the anti scientist and News Corp's whiz financial adviser Terry McCrann. One can only ask do he and Bolt even have a dollar of their own money invested in the production of dirty energy?
McCrann doesn't mention the fact that the Clean Energy Industry is providing far more jobs than all the fossil fuel projects in the world. While fossil fuels are job divesting not because of regulations or the Paris accord but because of robotics and cheaper labor. Not cheaper however than the Clean Energy Sector.The drive to bring back black lung to the work force is over because machines are replacing the work force. Trump returning jobs is bs.
What Trump has done however is put a wall on America's investment in science and innovation. He's slammed on the brakes on innovation and handed it over to the rest of the world as a free gift. That will for pure economics send the US spiraling backwards. Imagine a world of free energy. The US is complaining now about German cars but they are even getting even cheaper. 85% of Germany's energy production hit a new renewable high cheaper than coal free!! Bolt and McCrann are still Neanderthals wanting to cut down the trees, dig up the scenery increasing holes in the ground and run off into the sea when there is as much energy as we want above our heads and like Trump they want to save us from that unlimited resource that Corporations can't own.
"“That kind of initiative needed nipping in
the bud, in my opinion,” says James, who has only just returned from
receiving his regular immunoglobulin enhancements in Addenbrooke’s
Hospital near his home in Cambridge where the 77-year-old author of more
than 40 acclaimed published works of poetry, memoir, fiction and
criticism is slowly dying inside a body riddled with leukaemia,
emphysema and carcinomas." James
Of course James is anti-science bitter and crusty with carcinomas. Nevertheless he goes to hospital regularly to try to stave off the inevitable while laughing at the human alarmists the scientists who wish to do the same. James hasn't treated his condition or his doctors as fruit cakes has he? He hasn't accepted his condition or the current inevitability of his fate has he.
It seems to me he's just projecting and trying to find the humor in his own condition death. A fate in the long term of planet that seems inevitable given the growing population of the human race and the shrinking resources the planet has to offer. James is laughing. However does his fatalism bring us to the conclusion that we should do nothing and leave the future to inevitability or to a few who believe they alone are the deserving elect?
Roger Franklin
calls for the bombing of Q&A and Bolt says nothing that's local and
Australian. However for whatever reason Kathy Griffin fits what he wants
to say even better. If Franklin gets the sack we will see Bolt's crew
doing a Griffin claiming victim-hood. Bolt's done it so many times
himself and supported others that have done the same. What's the
difference Griffin bats for the other team and not for any principle.
Dodging the blame has been Bolt's career. He has always been the hero
or the victim in his minds eye. A hero as the minder for a belly dancer,
a victim of his time at Adelaide Uni, a victim of the Australian
courts, and a hero when Abbott won. Yes Bolt also plays the victim card
to 90% of Australians and our institutions who he seems to hate. He's
the victim of the LNP government.
Bolt spent this Saturday playing the man no principles just the bully playing the man. He starts with Rory O'connor and fails because the quote was O'Connor's uncle's. A total flop on Bolt's part. He moves on to Carla McGrath an Indigenous woman all things being equal the board of Get Up also has conservatives on it. So what is Bolt's real beef with Carla all has is that she's not white. He then moves to Louise Milligan she dares write on Pell his pet Catholic. He breaks up the afternoon's disparagement with a moment of praise for Clive James who was commissioned to write satire for Murdoch's masthead The Australian before returning to his sport of bullying. Kathy Griffin has done little more than what Bolt does every day of the week personally attack Trump in much the same way as Roger Franklin did the ABC Finally he's come to Julie Bishop and Gillian Triggs two in one and something about "Human Rights" something Bolt doesn't believe in because he believes in the "elect "those preordained to greatness in a failing Capitalist world where wealth and property has been increasingly concentrated into the hands of a few corporations and the rest reduced to either capsulized labor or rent seekers ensuring the security of the elite.
Marxism has found knew value in todays world and it can be seen in the UK where currently over 40 % of UK voters are willingly prepared tho vote for Corbyn and his openly Marxist team. Conservatives are also finding a new relevance in Marx simply because they know that their free market capitalism and competition can't work in a corporatised world which has in fact suffocated the market.
So all Bolt has in his gun isn't reason but bullets aimed at other individuals to avoid really talking about 'human rights' and his own faults. A) Corporate corruption exists both within and across borders however without agreement on what constitutes abuse everything becomes relative slavery, pedophilia among other things will find corrupt and safe havens. B) Those abuses as far as Bolt is concerned don't exist outside our borders. War crimes become totally relative if that's the case why are we dropping bombs illegally on Iraq and Syria and have a body count of 484 civilians on our hands. C) Proof of Bolt's paranoia and his non belief in any form of democratic process is his disbelief in the lack of professionalism. A doctor who votes Labor can't be trusted to diagnose Bolt or anyone he considers on his team. Bolt's first and only question of anyone is "who do you vote for?" and the answer is all encompassing. Scientist judge or juryman are nobody but their politics. That form of blinkered rigidity leaves no room for the democratic process or the privacy of the ballot box any loss of any kind is unacceptable. It doesn't even allow for the real freedom of competition in the political center where true democracy takes place and lies at the heart of all out institutions which Bolt hates and denies and wants all changed. It's why Abbott can't accept his loss or his inability to lead he like Bolt blames it on our political system that needs changing and they are determined to do it any way possible. How dangerous is that when someone can't accept or own their faults so they cry foul and victim. It's what these conservatives do all along blaming others and fragmenting the nation.
Bolt is like an avalanche his column begins with a small report days before too lazy to change direction because it's propaganda put out by admitted lobbyists Bolt ploughs on neverthe less. He does what Trump does tells the world of the terror attacks suffered by Sweden. It's ok if it never happened the message is more important than any fact. Bolt collected his information from the GWPF. So they aren't just skeptics they are denialists.
What is the Global Warming Policy Foundation Bolt's source of excitement
"The
Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) is a think tank in the United
Kingdom, whose stated aims are to challenge "extremely damaging and
harmful policies" envisaged by governments to mitigate anthropogenic
global warming."
They are not a tranparent organization by any stretch of the imagination
"Because it is registered as a charity, the GWPF is not legally required to report its sources of funding,[14]
and Peiser has declined to reveal its funding sources, citing privacy
concerns. Peiser said GWPF does not receive funding "from people with
links to energy companies or from the companies themselves."[15] The foundation has rejected freedom of information
(FoI) requests to disclose its funding sources on at least four
different occasions. The judge ruling on the latest FoI request, Alison
McKenna, said that the GWPF was not sufficiently influential to merit
forcing them to disclose the source of the £50,000 that was originally
provided to establish the organization.[16]"
So they changed their stripes in order to be what they always were Lobbyists
"In 2014 the Charity Commission ruled that the GWPF had breached rules
on impartiality in its climate change coverage, blurred fact and
comment and demonstrated a clear bias.[21]
In response, the GWPF agreed to establish a non-charitable organisation
to do the lobbying, alongside the existing organisation, to be called
the "Global Warming Policy Forum" or "GWPF".[22] The GWP Forum is a wholly owned subsidiary of the GWP Foundation."
What's amazing the GWPF admitted their Charity status was a cover for their lobbying activity. This is the quality of Bolt's source. The basis of his column which he presents as the latest facts.
However read the conclusion to the Canadian
Geographic Report and you sense a lot more data collection and
considered evidence. Bolt's Reports even state their estimates are mere
extrapolations that even extend to global estimates when populations of
bears are totally unknown and species differ significantly. It's the lets guess approach.
The Canadians know their bears
better than anybody else and are far more specific in their counting procedures
their their locations and admissions about what they don't know. They
even discuss just how difficult count's are. Bolt's post well they came
in and did it in a year saw more bears and extrapolated in other words took a punt and
guessed. It's certainly the way Bolt works and as does Donald Trump. As they say the devil is in the detail and not the
rant and rave Bolt throws at you as does the Donald. Bear populations don't grow overnight
or within a year they take decades to
grow. Bolt has the whole Arctic circle covered with polar bear cubs it seems. An
increase in numbers since the 60's seems logical given the conservation
restrictions on hunting that were put in place in Canada.
Everything you ever wanted to know about polar bears
The facts of life From its double-layered coat to
the furry underside of its paws, the polar bear is well adapted to
frigid Arctic temperatures. A male Ursus maritimus, the largest member
of the bear family, can stand more than three metres tall on its hind
legs, weigh 600 kilograms and live up to 30 years. A female gives birth
every three years or so, usually to twins that stay with their mother
for more than two years. The polar bear’s diet consists primarily of the
skin and blubber of ringed and bearded seals. It hunts seals using its
keen sense of smell and incredible patience, tracking down birth lairs
or waiting hours for a seal to surface at a breathing hole. Where’s that bear? There are 19 subpopulations of polar bears in the world, of which 13 can be found in Canada. The southern Beaufort Sea population, shared with Alaska, and the northern Beaufort Sea
population, both of which are off the coasts of the Yukon and Northwest
Territories, are either in or predicted to decline. A small population
in Viscount Melville Sound, off the northern coasts of Victoria and Banks islands, could increase with changing sea ice conditions. M’Clintock Channel, off eastern Victoria Island, has seen polar bear numbers drop from about 900 to less than 300 over the past three decades. Lancaster Sound, off Baffin Island’s northern coast, is home to a declining population. The Gulf of Boothia population, off the northwestern end of Baffin Island, is stable. Foxe Basin is home to one of Canada’s largest polar bear populations, estimated at more than 2,500 animals in 2010. Norwegian Bay
polar bears, south of Axel Heiberg Island and west of Ellesmere Island,
are genetically different from all other polar bears worldwide, and
their population status is unknown. Although the health of the western Hudson Bay population is the subject of debate, southern Hudson Bay,
home to the most southerly polar bear population in the world, is
relatively stable. Canada shares three of its populations with
Greenland: the Baffin Bay and Kane Basin groups are both decreasing in numbers, while the Davis Strait
population has increased in the past few decades but may now be in
decline. The status of Greenland’s other two populations, in east Greenland and the Arctic Basin, is unknown. Russia is home to four populations of polar bears. The Barents Sea population, shared with Norway and Greenland, is healthy, while the status of the Kara Sea and Laptev Sea populations is unknown. The Chukchi Sea polar bears, shared with Alaska, could be in decline, though their current status is unclear. Research in motion Scientists study and count
polar bears using two methods: capture-recapture and aerial survey.
Capture-recapture, though dangerous because of the researchers’
proximity to the bear, helps determine the health and range of a
population. Scientists take skin and blood samples, measure the bear’s
height and weight and use ear tags to identify the country of capture.
In an aerial survey, researchers in helicopters count bears along a
predetermined line. This method can be tricky, as polar bears blend in
well with the ice and bears in dens or behind ridges can be missed.Basically what's being said here there is no justification for extrapolating from some 2,500 bears in one region to 24000 world wide unless of course you want to support a wanted conclusion. As I said Bolt had prepared the hype without really considering the data after all he is a Trumpster and it's regarded as a legitimate format of news they seem like bear numbers you can't distinguish between fake and real.
What do we have going on here? The smearing of a Jew (Epstien) by an agnostic Christian (Bolt) and a Panahi called Rita ex of Iran a refugee whose faith is unknown but most likely a lapsed Muslim. If she attempted to arrive in Australia today she would not be allowed in if Bolt had his way. What strange bedfellows these two smearers are. Is Panahi believable or just a bitter princess? After all Iran today is country from which Iranian Jews have no intention or want of fleeing. They don't even want to go to Israel which makes Panahi's singular story of persecution questionable. Maybe her family connection to the Shah would better clarify the politics of her arrival here and not IslamWhy the smearing? The Jew in question Epstien is it because he's reasoned and supports a reasoned Muslim Waleed Aly who Bolt declares an apologist as if that alone were a crime. Bolt twists words when explanation becomes apology it simply becomes unreasoned name calling. So what we have is brutishness that's a smoke screen for envy of someone so much smarter and considered. The truth is that Bolt the Christian agnostic actually is media's grand persecutor, bully and unreasoned inquisitor of Muslims in Australia. Panahi seems little more than a princess with a political grudge due to her families loss of status with the fall of the monarchy . Let's face it we are in truth more danger of Cannon law in Australia with the number of Catholics and conservatives in government than we are Sharia law. Besides there are more similarities that differences between the two. It protects priests any number of Australia's Catholics who commit murder and mayhem
Anything but the history of the budget blowout is buried. Buried is the admission that Tony Abbott made recently that it was he that sent the budget on it's downward spiral. Totally ignored never to be spoken of by Andrew Bolt
Andrew Bolt definitely believes in free speech out of control disconnected false ramblings if that's what it takes to win or maintain ones position of power. Donald Trump today told America of the terrorist attack that occurred in Sweden. The Swedes don't know of it and are asking for clarification. Bolt claims whether true or not the Donald is free to say it and those that disparage him for doing so are just the hysterical left. Madness is contagious and is defined by the fact if your a danger to those around you or yourself. Bolt's reply that's just another opinion only.
"Another government disaster, and one which Malcolm Turnbull did more than just inherit. " BoltHistory and context thrown out the door. The MXT was the direct consequence of Mr Nope Nope Nope Tony Abbott the administration not to blame. It's Bolt that like Trump says the NBN was a well oiled machine but my staff fucked it up. This is akin to a man walking into a patent attorney's office and declaring he's invented a plane that will fly x10 faster than sound on water. He pulls out a drawing of a plane with lines and a cloud trail. The Attorney asks"so what's the invention?"To which he get's the reply "this is it your the patent attorney patent it." Well he's down the pub now telling his story that the staff fucked it up too.The NBN was a dud the moment Tony Abbott refused to ok Labour's brand new start from the beginning system. All we have is Bolt pointing at Turnbull and leaving the name Tony Abbott off the order form altogether. It's the staff whose to blame.
Delingpole once wrote for the Spectator and is now an editor at Breibart.
Only Breitbart can say it's not VWs fault that they were forced to cheat that all the worlds transgressions against the planet were forced on us by the Green Lobby. Defence of this lunacy freedom of speech. Donald Trump is about to be the worlds biggest saviour and he's right to be paranoid because the world is out to get him
Bolt's ignorance has no bounds "Import a people and you import a culture. Then you have a choice: challenge it or submit. " BoltBolt now wants to remove all Orthodox Jews ,
strict Hindus and observant Muslims from the country all of whom believe
in this practice of not touching. I'm also sure that there are strict
Christian sects that practice it too. It seems it would be far easier to
deport the complainers the racists of the far right and less expensive
than deporting all the Australians they take umbrage from. One thing is
for certain Andrew Bolt isn't representative of Australian Culture.
Bolt's an agnostic poppy growing, German and Italian opera buff who
idolizes paintings more than he does people. How Australian is that?
When Andrew Bolt talks of Cultural Ghettos where some peoples allegiance is to things other than Australian he seems not to specify these mysterious places. Is he talking of areas like Toorak and Kew populated by directors of multinational corporations whose interest is in good corporate governance? That being the minimization and avoidance of tax, the sending of profits overseas, paying the least amount of wages and benefits to Australian workers, price fixing, bribery non disclosure and any other number of corporate crimes. Yes they send their kids to the ghetto schools attend ghetto social events and ensure they have the best protection and privacy money can buy. I agree with Bolt extreme vetting need to take place because they are certainly exceptions in the Australian enviroment.
Tip it's Andrew Bolt always admits he's a hero off a small base. He accuses all our institutions as being left but the populace being right. Yet if that's the case why is he the hero off a small base and not a large one ? Because it's a corporate base The IPA, News Corp , the Del-Cons and those ready to use the Australian flags as masks. Bolt's problem Turnbull is a working class lad. In his editorial he says "there is the problem with Turnbull"
Bolt tells us of Abbott's struggle as a PM with a hostile senate but what he doesn't tell you
"Labor
operated a minority government and Julia Gillard had no trouble getting
bills passed more bills than conservatives could manage with Abbott as
leader 329 to 262 even Rudd passed 292. Wow Abbott passed 3 more than
John Gorton the PM who didn't want to be PM. Negotiating skills for
Abbott consisted of nope, nope, nope."
You can't accept dour hypocrites as being people that don't give a rats. These two media broadcasters have no idea that the appreciation of comedy and humor shared is "not giving a rats". They share the stage with the wannabe controllers like Eric Abetz, Cory Bernardi who for a single moment do they share space with other than those who claim to give a rats. Only a they when they do it's not for the country it's not for humanity it's for a team hanging on desperate to promote self interest. Rowan Dean is a professional mad man and seems as if he belongs in the TV ads he once produced. Andrew Bolt well he leans on Tim Bevis Blair to snigger. Bolt hasn't let go of himself since a kid he's chased his own self importance since we met him out of Tarcoola. bullies don't give a rats because they have tin ears no empathy and an inability to analyze themselves. Comedians do and they know how to share it not preach it. Next time just watch Dean , Bolt Abbott and Sophie Mirabella and then watch the Marx brothers. Who would you party with without dropping drugs in their drink? Since when did cultural bouncers deserve "safe space" in a democracy?
Aalesmeer and Utrecht those towns in Holland where the Bolt's originated from. Where the Aalesmeer Mayor a fanatical supporter along with the politically active populations supported and defended what the Nazis were doing. So much so the Dutch killed a higher % of Dutch Jews than Germany. These towns were filled with angry old white men who supported the Aryan Nation. One can be confident that even today that collective and historic mindset still lies active today in the Dutch Party for Freedom Bolt admires so much.
Bolt's statement that it was the Left that supported Hitler seems not to have been the case according to the Shoah Resource Center a very Jewish organization seeking the truth about the holocaust. Their truth is not Bolt's that's for sure.
" Dutch were inclined to sympathize others collaborated. Ever since the Nazi Party had risen to power in Germany in the early 1930s, the Netherlands had had its own antisemitic, right-wing movements, whose members strongly resented incoming Jewish refugees (from Germany). On the other hand, many Dutch citizens, including many intellectuals,strenuously criticized the anti-Jewish measures being enacted."
One thing is for sure Aalesmeer's population of less than 12000 was not made up of left wing intellectuals
Dutch Collaborators
As for the angry old racist white men who Bolt denies they exist in GOP and if they do don't harbour the Collective and historic racist psyche of the USA. These men currently are encouraging that laws be passed with such stringent ID conditions for allowing people to vote it insures the majority of Afro Americans will be disenfranchised you won't hear that from Bolt.
Bolt distorts history so much so I bet he believes the 3% members of Dutch Nazis is small but that represented Party members. Australia's 2 Parties don't have a combined membership of 500,000 or 3%. Bolt's families came from right wing towns lending huge Nazi support during WW2
Bolt will do anything to try and boost the ratings of his Report. What happens however he can't get news faces to appear I guess during an election 20-30k ratings just don't justify the time. If Palmer was still in the race he wouldn't be there either. Bolt's producers must be struggling. Please would any suspected serial killers put there hands up The Bolt Report is desperate. But then Bolt says he's huge as he's off a low base but then so was Palmer.
Bolt steals Bernie's shtick However doesn't mention it.
Bolt has pointed out why Bernie Sanders is the best Democratic candidate to run against Trump "But news reports
document that at least seven foreign governments that received State
Department clearance for American arms did donate to the Clinton
Foundation while Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary: Algeria,
Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Thailand, Norway and Australia." So was Australia complicit in Clinton bribery as well? It paid the Clinton Foundation $10 mill and recieved a 198% increase in the supply of arms.Sanders hits Clinton Foundation over foreign donations | TheHill
Yet it's Bolt turning to the IPA yet again for an argument. The Catallaxy Files and Judith Sloan
When it once took 1 adult to work and support a family of 4 it now takes 2 to earn enough to support the same without savings. So basically the middle class is shrinking. What Bolt and Sloan seem to be calling for a BDS or a divestment in working class children. Indirectly they are never the less calling for the economic sterilization of the working class. They aren't calling for a total divestment of children because then there'd be no value in inheritance the corner stone of a class society. Inheritance is the foundation of class advantage and they'd never want that lost.
Investment in children and education isn't really necessary in a corporately controlled and globalized world as labour can be far better controlled by importation. Children are fast becoming a burden on a free market when governments need to subsidize them. We must begin to promote and practice economic castration of the lower classes. If people fall into economic hardship through no fault of their own intervention and the removal of their children needs to be considered.
Another opportunity to white-ant Turnbull but promote Abbott. However the truth be known the photos are being taken with a force who on record is known to have started the most fires in this country killing fauna. Remember the photos of man and Koalas CFA lit. 'Brain fart' led CFA volunteer Keegan Danielz to start bushfires - The Age
" research done into firefighters who set fires....there’s an excitement element as well as a control element, as they
believe they can control the fire and obviously there’s attention that
comes with that."
How many times have we heard of the back burning that got away? What we have is two politicians and a media hack defending the indefensible a fire fighting force needed to be lead by professionals.
Can you imagine an army of volunteers? We don't need professionals imagine the costs saved with dads armies everywhere. The CFA has on record lit as many fires as it has put out. Here is an expense Bolt doesn't argue about the extra we pay because we don't have a fully professional team of fire fighters leading amature volunteers. Bolt prefers we pay premiums. I guess his argument is that it's the irrational left that fails to allow a Volunteer Ambulance Service, a Vigilante Police Force. Basically isn't Bolt calling for the privatization of all services to counter the "lefts " push for state run professional and full time ones? Bolt the professional fire brigades don't have the reputation of starting the number of fires that the CFA has clocked up. That is a statistic that's neither left or right. It's time to stop lighting fires - Article by Bob McDonald
The ' unelected left' like "Feminists" like "Racist Aborigines " like "Marxists" all this incessant name calling of 'Lefties" is called out by Justin Smith as the path taken by Conservative idiots who can't debate. ? The right wing Conservatives associated with the IPA and News Corp like Bolt and Blair lead that charge. Justin Smith is an editorial commentator in the Herald Sun and bags Bolt out this morning fo course without actually naming him. This traditionalist certainly doesn't long for the times when it was de rigueur to talk religion an politics in polite company. No Bolt calls out and names everybody that disagrees with him "lefties" of one sort or another so much so the conservatives live in heaven and have just found out others have broken in.
Here he is trying to tell us Australians are all right wing and only the government and the political class are left wing. Why does he play and muddy the English language to distort and deflect attention to distract from and give legitimacy to the smallest crew of right wing elite this country has ever seen the IPA and the well named Del-Cons whose self interest and determination to rule and ranscack Australia is unprecedented. Beware of the enemy within.
" Forget strong government and forget whatever the Liberals are promising.
The next Senate looks like being even more impossible than the last:"
Labor operated a minority government and Julia Gillard had no trouble getting bills passed more bills than conservatives could manage with Abbott as leader 329 to 262 even Rudd passed 292. Wow Abbott passed 3 more than John Gorton the PM who didn't want to be PM. Negotiating skills for Abbott consisted of nope, nope, nope. Unfortunately his fascist skills did influence this country in that more flags were raised, uniforms created surveillance and loss of freedoms guaranteed and wars to fight. Our only source of tested truth the ABC had a 20% reduction in revenue a broken election promise by Abbott who hung Asylum seekers heads on pikes at the gates of Australia to let the world know who we really are.
The only reason this is a hostile senate is it's hostile to the conservatives who believe they were born to rule and democracy does not bow to that. So they need to do away with this archaic government. Strange isn't it it's the way ISIS thinks as well and this is their lament
"Yet another sign, by the way, that the conditions are ripe for the start
of a new, moderate and non-Christian conservative party." Bolt
So these irrational Conservatives continue to white-ant the Liberal Party they feel they own and prefer revenge in the form of weakening the Party on the gamble they will take control before or after July win or lose to form the new Conservative Party the one they said they would after Abbott lost leadership. Tony Abbott has said he'd was honored to lead it. You see Abbott is not short of time and revenge is a dish best served cold."Still, the Liberals may at least be realising now that there’s a price to pay for treating its conservative base with contempt."
How quickly Bolt changes his tune. Yesterday Aboriginals were just "complex individuals" Today they are racists driven by their own victimisation. What a crude but weak media bully this man is. This is not comment.
"Mr Irons was a ward of the state raised by foster parents and ran an
airconditioning business before entering parliament in 2007." In the blog below Bolt calls descriptions like this calls of sympathy when Malcolm Turnbull does it. Piss weak politics but not when Irons does it? What is the difference Andrew Bolt? Your misguided logic.When Tammy Solonec does the same as Andrew Bolt and says Irons is "a rich white man" she's a racist.
Bolt's hypocrisy is self evident in his denial that the collective history of this country is internalized in our psyche,culture and institutions. It is white and racist. There is no "reverse racism" as there is no "reverse mysogyny" this is a masculine society and women suffer because of it. Nor is there union dominance or working class control either. Bolt might call "reverse racism" but there is no debate in his cry it's just another childish bully's mimicking repetitive chant when there is no argument..
This isn't a commentary it's an advertising campaign but who is paying?
The media attack by Conservatives on the Liberal Party continues. Too weak to start their own party mutinous Liberal Party hacks too duplicitous to say we are the IPA white-ant Turnbull with every breathe.
