 "Truly ludicrous": EV Council angered by Angus Taylor's "housing tax" lie | The Driven

MURDOCH and LIBERALS TEAMWORK

Taylor told the Murdoch tabloid that: “Labor is not only proposing a new tax on your new car but also on your new home. There’s a whole raft of costs that Labor have not even considered that come with this policy.”
A spokeswoman ­for Labor described the suggestion of a housing tax as a desperate lie. “The Liberals will say and do anything to try to distract from their Clive Palmer-Pauline Hanson coalition of chaos”.

Crash in support for Tony Abbott as climate becomes top-order issue

New polling commissioned by GetUp suggests the former prime minister is on track for defeat in Warringah by independent candidate Zali Steggall

A Lonergan poll of 805 Warringah voters shows Mr Abbott trailing Ms Steggall 56-44 on a two-party-preferred basis. GetUp is campaigning against Mr Abbott in Warringah.

The poll also showed climate change and the environment is a top-order issue for Warringah voters.

 Australians accepting of migrants but negative towards Islam, poll finds | World news | The Guardian

Since 2006 Australian studies showed anti-Muslim sentiment increased from 9% to 30% a new Study indicates it has increased even more to 50%. Why the change? Far -right conservatives have created this widened gap with the rise of Tony Abbott as PM along with the help of the Murdoch media. All however refuse to accept responsibility for being that primary cause of this change. They claim they simply reflect what is.
Over 3000 anti- Islam articles were written in the Herald Sun alone in 2017. We saw the media involvement in the 2005 Cronulla Riots. Andrew Bolt like Alan Jones Pauline Hanson has been a leading Islamophobic voice. Their religious, racist, ethnic, and cultural vilification can't be denied any longer as a spur and enablement of right-wing terrorist and racist behavior by Australians towards those of the Islamic faith.
Theirs is an action not of free speech but propaganda an action, a concerted action to sell in the form of speech to alter peoples political minds attitudes and behaviors. Not all advertising is regarded as "free" it's regulated. They are recruiters of far right extremist thought and ought to be called out and treated as such. They are just as responsible a ISIS media is in enabling terror. with it's propaganda efforts. If anyone took their position on our media they'd be arrested as should agents of the right like Andrew Bolt. He has had a greater impact here in Australia than seen elsewhere, Shame on us!! (ODT)

Islam and other religions

51% of Australians had unfavourable sentiments towards Islam, and only 10% looked upon the religion positively, making Australia more negative than 17 of the other 22 countries surveyed.
In fact, 37% of people said they were “very unfavourable”– the most negative response available. This was far higher than the milder option of “fairly unfavourable” (14%), and made it the single most common response to the religion. 23% of people were neutral.

  HIDE THE FBI'S ANTI-TRUMP SPY: JUST A 'CLOAKED INVESTIGATOR'

  SPYING ON TRUMP The New York Times goes to mad lengths to avoid admitting the truth Attorney General Robert Barr has nailed: that the FBI under Barack Obama spied on candidate Donald Trump. Its headline invents a new euphemism for spy: "F.B.I. Sent Cloaked Investigator to Investigate Trump in 2016." It's like the NYT was protecting someone.

  It seems Andrew Bolt has given up his day job to simply turn into a Newspaper boy. He's lost an enormous amount of his media presence and appears to have gone into hiding even when there is an election going on here. However, when he does pop up, he remains what he is a PR merchant and as such an extremely dishonest media man. 
  AG Robert Barr was found corrupting the very findings of the Mueller Report which caused special investigator Mueller to say so in terms that surprised everyone. Mueller told the AG that he's totally disguised the meaning that he had drawn and presented as the conclusions found. Rather than search out that real meaning, Mueller refers to, the Murdoch press has gone into protection mode of the false attributes as presented by AG Barr. Has Murdoch press or even Andrew Bolt made any effort to find out what Mueller's conclusions were and what Mueller himself meant by his words? Not on your life. It's all to protect the man Bolt once called an absolute dope and idiot Donald Trump.
  The reason Trump remains a joke and Andrew Bolt with him, they both, cloak themselves with authority that's undeserved and whose energies actually rely on the businesses of billionaires.

  Bolt and the Herald Sun have dragged up an old video and story they delivered once before why? Firstly to justify Israeli treatment of Palestinians. Needless to say, they don't bring up the words of Rabbis who have said that Palestinian children are vermin that need to be killed at death. These Rabbis are adults preaching this to adults, and they aren't words of children in a school play.
  So now check the consequences and the "real" trends that have evolved in America. 75% of the terror-related mass shootings have been done by White Christian mainly youth and have increased in numbers since Trump became President. These mass shootings haven't been done by either Jews or Muslims but somewhat against them and other Christians.
   Can Bolt list the numbers carried out by Muslims? No, he turns to a school play and suggests that's a trend. He actually tried to do the same some time ago and is using the same news story to deflect attention away from the real trending events in America the rising Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia created by  Murdoch Sinclair and other right-wing media.
   Muslims and Jews are actually coming together in increasing numbers and are uniting against the policies of Israel, Trump and increasingly extreme right-wing government and media whose front men like Bolt have enabled mass murder to happen. They are marching arm in arm in protest and Israel, and Trump are spending billions to cover it up.

He has taken up the opinion of it seems just one man when it comes to Uluru who happens to be I guess like Boly a more indigenous Australian than most and part of Bolt's tribe.

Federal election

Morrison government suffers historic defeat in  parliament

Bolt continues to back the wrong horse as The Lower House Voted the for the Medivac Bill. It seems a very long time between drinks for Bolt as a commentator he appears to get more things wrong than right. No Bill Shorten didn't move sideways as Bolt predicted and no he didn't lose the vote. Now Morrison is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Will he try to challenge the Bill in the courts on constitutional grounds? If the PM does will he be seen as a curmudgeon? If he loses what will that do to his stocks? He has a problem a problem for declaring Doctors to be a danger to national Security and pumping the message out via the Murdoch Party and Sky News after dark. 

By the way, did Bolt see the crowds cheering the Bahraini refugee's return to Melbourne and identifying in the strongest terms that he identifies as an Australian "Allahu Akbar", and everybody smiled? We can guarantee Bolt didn't and dreamt of his retirement in Holland, and we all hoped his dream comes true.

 

The government has lost a vote on its own legislation for the first time in 90 years regarding the medical treatment of asylum seekers. The bill was voted down 75-74 on the floor of the House.

Bolt's response to tonight's announcement is as good as you might expect, to ignore it and whack-a-Muslims instead.

The Prime Minister's strength turns into a weakness

Scott Morrison is now the PM who has lost control of Australia’s parliament.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ON ROLE OF ISLAM

Just so you know: "An ISIS sympathiser who mowed down pedestrians in Melbourne’s Flinders Street, killing an elderly grandfather, said he 'did it in the name of Allah', a court has been told... 'I’m sorry for the people that I injured but I did it in the name of Allah,' he was quoted as saying."

1h

It's a PAYWALL to his Herald Sun 

For the past 2 weeks, Melbournians have been shooting each other and Bolt has ignored the fact but not this case why? Yes because it has the characteristics most useful to him. A Muslim committed the crime. When a Greek thought he was god and killed multiple people in Flinders St the offence wasn't of any real importance to Andrew Bolt. Indicating that crimes don't really matter to Bolt the significant identifying aspect of any event is whether or not a Muslim did it. 

 Bolt's racist obsession is that he lives in the hope that his systemic focus will raise fear and enable and encourage other Muslim youth to actually push back in response to the Islamophobic waves he intentionally creates. Meanwhile, his good Aussie Christian white folk continue to go about shooting the place up unnoticed and unmentioned by blowhard Bolt. The coming election will spur Bolt on to raise the fear-meter even more by putting his foot on the accelerator of hate and scaremongering legacies promoted by Scott Morrison to the Liberal Party as far back as 2005 post the Cronulla riots. Legacies of racial and ethnic division which were adopted full tilt boogie by Tony Abbott. 

 

MORRISON THE BETTER MAN FOR THIS FIGHT

Prime Minister Scott Morrison comes out fighting. Imagine how weak Malcolm Turnbull would have been: "Morrison has declared every new people-smuggling boat ­arrival will be 'on Bill Shorten’s head' after ... Labor [joined]  the Greens and ­independents to push through a bill that hands doctors greater powers to bring asylum-seekers to Australia."

Into cloud cuckoo land of MURDOCHIAN imagination everything to distract from the reality of what happened. Australian politics said it was time to bat against the paranoia being sold us by the LNP. The insanity politics that has driven the LNP against the compassion of the 2500-year-old Hippocratic Oath and principle that is medicine. So much so this was the fight no government could win and it first and deserved loss in 90 years.

" Scott Morrison has declared every new people-smuggling boat ­arrival will be “on Bill Shorten’s head” after the Coalition lost control of the parliament, allowing Labor to join the Greens and ­independents to push through a bill that hands doctors greater powers to bring asylum-seekers to Australia."

Nothing is on Shorten's head the boats that haven't been stopped and are still coming will continue the secret revealed, and the maasively increased naval Dutton blockade will continue with Dutton revealing the reality that boats were never stopped leaving Indonesia. Nor have drownings just the information about them. It's why Bolt feels so pleased.

"I am not sure there will be floods of boats - yet." Bolt. He's always there at the end with his "I didn't say that" escape clause claiming the very opposite of what he's just said so he can't be wedged later. Bolt's so excited about the prospect of Dutton admitting the truth that the boats have never been stopped coming Bolt can't spell. Just wait for the Conservatives effort at win at all cost politics that forgoes all human principles. It's coming like rolling thunder and Bolt will be one of its media voices.

" Whyile we still have Government that turns back boats, we should be saved from the worst consequences of Labor's weakening of the border laws yesterday. Bolt

THE COMPANY JULIA BANKS KEEPS

Julia Banks was elected as a Liberal, promising to push for Liberal policies. Now, look at the company she keeps, having deserted the Liberals, as she helps destroy the Liberals' border laws.

Proving his misogyny Andrew Bolt goes to women bashing. Why does he do that? Psychology suggests he's projecting to cover up the fact that Bolt wouldn't achieve anything if it hadn't been for the women in his life and he resents it to the core. It's why now he brags about being the only breadwinner in his house.

The men that blackmailed the Liberals forcing them to dump any pretence of Democracy like Craig Kelly remains indicative of what it means to be the conservative tail of the Liberal Party, a thug and bully prized and praised by Bolt with his silence while the women were always there to be the kicked handmaids.

LIBERALS DEFEATED THANKS TO TURNBULL

The Liberals lost its crucial vote on border protection by a single vote. This is because Malcolm Turnbull quit parliament rather than stay on until the election, and then pointedly refused to help the Liberals defend his seat. Later he supported Julia Banks in deserting the Liberal party. Why hasn't be been kicked out of the party?

25m

How is this, the longest, most curved and blunt arrow in his quiver? He took a shot at Julia Banks and missed so blames it all on Malcolm Turnbull and hides Dutton, Abbott and other right-wingers under their rock. The problem is, it's always been too hard to keep them there. Turnbull has always been in plain sight, and that's the point Christopher Pyne makes when saying he was sorry to see him rolled. Pyne has been there 26 years almost as long as Bolt has been a commentator making a fool of himself.

THE GREENS GO RANCID: THE PURE ARE DEEP IN SCANDALS

I thought the Greens were a party for the young and permanently irresponsible - for people who demand plenty of others but nothing of themselves. But I thought this irresponsibility was best seen in their policies. Now a string of scandals shows it's to be seen in their people. My editorial from The Bolt Report. 

21m
Bolt is doing his best to deflect attention away from the losing policies of the Libs how?  By playing the man. Never mind the scandals in the Liberal party revealed over these past 5 years like a row falling dominoes not just a single kind but potpourri, a variety, a smorgasbord of embarrassments so it isn't surprising watching Bolt from Murdoch Liberal and IPA PR team just sling mud. There's an election on so get the dirt file out not on the ALP but the Greens. The axiom is ignoring your client's failures and your own. and trumpet their personals in tabloid fashion. Remember Abbott and how he approached elections, destroy everything at all costs forget the policies if need be and just ditch the bitch.
 LNP party member's financial corruption went so deep they were caught stealing from each other with Eric Abetz hiding the fact from the Victorians. They turned cannibal on their own as in the case of Peter Slipper and then dumped Mal Brough. Their record-breaking snouts in the trough had Tony Abbott declare it was the fault of the laws, not the Liberals breaking those laws. Their misogyny is well reported and has been defended or should I say denied by Bolt how by attacking the women who sounded the alarm. Ministers were dropping like flies from one moment to the next. 
So why is Bolt out to disparage the Greens? Their preferences of course and they're rocking the boat in Warringah a lot more than they were in 2016. "The 2016 election saw Abbott win with 61.55% of the two-party preferred vote against the Greens’ candidate. His primary vote saw a 9.19% swing against him, dropping to 51.65%." Guardian. After Wentworth and with a 30+ push to oust Abbott within his own Party he's no longer certain as he once was. 
 The Victorian election is coming up and Matthew Guy isn't looking too robust he's on the nose with a history of scandals behind him. The people of Australia and Victoria Liberals are turning Green and have decided the planet is warming that there is far too much CO2 in the atmosphere because we are burning too much coal. Bolt knows his pro-coal lobbying is falling on deaf ears and even conservatives are leaning Green. So he's diverted from policies to personalities to drag the Liberals away from that Warming Party they might vote for when not voting Liberal and that's Green. Remember when Bolt used to tell us how moral and well mannered he was that he refused to attack the man. It was Bill Shorten back then and it was his policies that need attention not his personality. How two-faced is he now? How desperate are they now with no Libs running in inner Melb.

BINDI SUED ME AS AN ABORIGINE. NOW ADMITS: 'I AM ALSO WHITE.'

VIDEO Welcome, even if too late. Bindi Cole was one of nine people identifying as Aboriginal who sued me for asking why they didn't identify instead as white, or both Aboriginal and white, or as race irrelevant. To my horror, the Federal Court ruled I'd broken the Racial Discrimination Act. Now Cole says she was wrong: "I am also white." Watch.

1hLink

Bolt doesn't seem to get it does he wasn't found guilty of Bindi's opinion. He was found guilty of being loose with his facts that they were false and his articles carried a tone that was deemed vilification. His defence as a journalist under Section 18D of his freedom to lie and vilify as a commentator failed. Bindi's opinion doesn't prove him innocent. How is it Andrew Bolt didn't appeal the decision at the time? Did Murdoch's legal defence team turn him down?  How is it he has never said he was pissed off with them?
As for the philosophical contradictions, the psychological dialectic within us all being a reflection of the social reality in which we live doesn't mean Bolt's innocent in the eyes of the law. It just says he refuses to admit to his left-wing, feminist, gay, sides and evolve or allow others to either.
His articles "which can't be published" which Bolt has cried over and over and over can but he won't test the water and News Corp won't defend him. It doesn't mean his opinions have been frozen in time. That's just the posturing of a man who like Bindi also knows he is guilty. Again I ask why didn't Bolt appeal justice Bromberg's decision? Bindi handed the decision over to the courts as did Bolt who could have apologised at any time but didn't. He too in his smugness handed the decision to Mordecai Bromberg as well. Stop squirming Andrew Bolt. What is amusing Bolt insists he's indigenous too but doesn't take anyone to court who says he isn't.
"What I was was a social justice warrior and a virtue signaller. And I constantly looked down on other people who didn't have the same ideas as I had and I was intolerant of them, too..." Bindi
 While Bindi admits her guilt Bolt still in a state of denial and fails in the court ethics.

THE OMRAN TAPE: WHY WE SHOULD WORRY

COLUMN Mohammed Omran is the last person who should attack Prime Minister Scott Morrison for demanding Muslim leaders do more to fight Islamic terrorism.And I’ve heard the tape to prove it - a tape recorded at the Islamic Centre he runs and that was attended by several convicted terrorists.

5m

The Police, the Security guard nor the papers reported the shout Allahu Akbar at the time suddenly Bolt has thrown that into the mix why? To strengthen his position which just might be blown out of the water, by the fact that Ali might just have been more a dysfunctional mental case than a radicalized terrorist which suits Morrison and the conservatives in politics. Will there be a pathology test done on the body to test for drugs? Is there more Gargasoulous to this story than anything to do with Islam. Bolt's Islamophobia only allows him a one-eyed view and no possibility of any other it's why he never mentions the 20th of Jan and 6 dead and even more injured. Nor does he mention the report that Mental Health services are so much under the pump that the CAT teams are known as the Can't Attend Treatment teams. Psychosis due to overuse of ICE is at epidemic levels but Bolt and the politicians are in strategic mode which doesn't allow for understanding.
Omran and the Muslim hierarchy are the first to call Morrison, News Corp, the Mainstream Media out for demonizing a religious community out for measly coinage but more so politics.He had planned his suicide. But the crisis team was busy

AMA Victoria warns more lives could be lost unless the government acts quickly.

Trump bragged about it and Bolt didn't complain

GROPEY GREENS

Column The Greens have always struck me as a party for the young and irresponsible.  I also thought their policies, not their personnel,  proved that best. But a string of scandals - involving everything from bullying to claims of sexual assault - suggests these Greens are just what you’d expect of a party which demands more of others than of themselves.

10m
Carbon paper Bolt repetition, repetition and PAWALLS to more repetition to an echo chamber he calls work. No other journalist repeats the same process week after week after week. It's a clerical process Bolt calls work.
The Greens are drawing traditional Liberal voters away from Matthew Guy, Tony Abbott the pillars of their political strategies and policies are turning to mush so what to do? Attack the man like pitbulls with scandals as teeth. If we only look back in time over the past 5 years the scandalmongers will see their own team's path littered with scandals as far as the eye can see as well but then the effort was to deny them. However when their backs to the wall  News Corp has been called to use the "dirt brigade" yet again and forget about policies. 
Who does it better and more ferociously than News Corp? It's not the first time and it won't be the last it's formulaic because Fairfax and the ABC aren't quite the gutter press that Murdoch media is not just in Australia but in the English speaking world. They more than any media run their business on the PR model of broadcasting the message best suited for their client lobbyists. Here it's the IPA and the Liberal Party of Australia the ultra-Conservative branch and what have they turned to but sex and gender.
 Less than a month ago they were denying what was going on in the Liberal Party or on Sky News slut-shaming women and now they are taking the moral high ground why? Because when it comes to media they can the daily passing parade always moves on and the tabloid attention is only needed today and will have moved on and be forgotten tomorrow hopefully the damage done.

THE SHEIK ON TAPE

All these people saying Friday's terrorism in Melbourne had nothing to do with Islam or with Islamic preachers and was all about mental illness instead. Who the hell are they trying to fool?  Let them listen to this tape of Sheik Omran preaching. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

1h
You have to laugh don't you here's Bolt sitting behind a desk showing us a guy sitting behind a desk both saying basically what Bolt is saying "who the hell are they trying to fool." There is a difference Sheik Omar has an audience of around a hundred and Bolt in the palace of Sky News broadcasts to thousands and yet he's telling us Omran is the most dangerous. Aggressively cherrypicking to prove his case that we are victims of Islamic terrorism in Australia Bolt draws our attention to 5 people over 5 years between Melbourne and Sydney. Yes, 5 cases in a population of 10 million people. So he also throws in, lest we forget, some African gangs for good measure conflating the two for good measure to raise the numbers. However, in the case of the Sudanese gangs, his charlatan of shame intentionally overlooks the fact that the Sudanese are unlike Bolt practising Christians.
Sheik Omran has never been taken to court and never been judged a liar. Andrew Bolt has and more than once apologized under duress in a number of cases in order not to be sued. He's a professional Goebellian grub with 30 years of experience and a track record of commentary based on lies and loose facts. When someone shines the light of truth and reason on an event like the head of the AHRC or commands our respect like Gillian Triggs and says the opposite to Bolt he has to put them down. When people who knew Ali described his mental state as agitated psychotic and sick did Bolt turn to experts in the field of psychiatry no way too dangerous for his presentation he mumbled something about the police people who didn't know the man to say he was sane. Did Bolt actually ID his mystery experts on the mental health of Ali, no!
The fact is Bolt's not interested in understanding what happened nor is Matthew Guy or Scott Morrison here's an opportunity not to be missed to divide the nation on this in Pauline Hanson, Tony Abbott style Xenophobic and Nationalist. Divide us racially, ethnically culturally and religiously for political advantage to grab a few coins and votes. There is nothing new here Bolt's as much a firebrand preacher behind a desk in a uniform as much as Sheik Omran the difference, however, is patently clear the Sheik is defending his community Nationalist Xenophobic attack and Bolt is on the front foot trumpeting an attack and creating a ghost, a mythical monster who isn't there and the statistics, data and evidence collected by reasoned professionals is there to prove it. Not all commentators are Andrew Bolt and politicians.
 "Kristallnacht as a turning point. Kristallnacht changed the nature of the Nazi persecution of Jews from economic, political, and social to physical with beatings, incarceration, and murder; the event is often referred to as the beginning of the Holocaust."
                                      ---------------------------------------------
According to Bolt Aussie Christians take drugs Aussie Muslims take religion but they have ICE in common and psychotic delusions that come with it. They have been sent on a mission and are going down in a ball of fire. The police knew both these young men and watched. Andrew Bolt ignores one completely the MSM prefer two very different tales in one city or is it a tale of two cities? One of a wild kid from Cooper Pedi and one more sinister a Muslim from Africa both with pregnant girlfriends both on drugs. It actually sounds like two Australian kids lives gone very wrong and psychotic. Go to the ICUs of any State Mental Health facilities and you will find more and on the edge.  (ODT)

  Bourke Street: How James "Jimmy" Gargasoulas became the monster who massacred

At his criminal trial, the prosecution and defence agreed that at the time of the Bourke Street massacre Gargasoulas was suffering from a drug-induced psychosis.
The diagnosis is meaningless at law, as Justice Mark Weinberg pointed out to the jury that heard the six charges of murder and 27 charges of reckless conduct endangering life.

‘You should know that delusions brought about by the use of drugs, self-induced drugs, such as ice, provide no defence to any criminal charge and do not affect criminal responsibility,’’ Justice Weinberg said.

How typical it's why Victoria's infrastructure program stalled because the Napthine Government signed contracts to build an unwanted freeway which too half a term for this government to unravel.  It allowed Abbott to withhold money promised until Turnbull succumbed to the fact that the people of this state were pissed off.

Police should be trained not in divisions but to simply do it all. Traffic, drugs, homicide intelligence no difference Bolt just dumb cops one and all. How our authorities must love Andrew Bolt. Why wasn't he charged for GBH in Carlton and why isn't there a law of GBH of the mouth now? Andrew Bolt really brushes Gargasoulas off as a bit of a joke that Jimmy should have been stopped by window washers even if he wasn't using his phone but not so that Muslim Ali guy he should have been shot at the traffic lights before he got to Bourke St. That's a Bolt thought bubble for you.

GREENS ROCKED BY MULTIPLE SCANDALS

The Greens just don't seem grown up. A state leader accused of sexism and bullying.

 A 2018 U.N. report highlighted this trend of branding human rights defenders, activists, and experts as “terrorists,” in Algeria, Egypt, the Philippines, and elsewhere. The Center for Strategic and International Studies has also noted that several countries besides Nicaragua have used compliance with FATF counterterrorism measures to justify passing restrictive laws in recent years.
“From Brazil and Nicaragua to France and the U.K. to Kyrgyzstan and Australia, we’re seeing clampdowns that make it all too easy to label protesters, journalists, activists, political opponents, and others that the authorities want to neutralize as ‘terrorists’ and ‘extremists,’” said Letta Tayler, a senior researcher on terrorism at Human Rights Watch. “We’ve seen a dangerous global spread of draconian counter-terrorism laws since the September 11, 2001 attacks. … Because the word terrorism is associated with atrocities, it’s now easy to get public buy-in to responses that break the law in the name of security.”

One for more control over all us the potential beast and the other very humanist appeal not to live divided scared and silent in a community that we know will help each other when mental illness is apparent or before other things go awry. The beast is "division"  the question is do we feed it or tame it. Humanist vs Fascist our choice? (ODT)

'Feeding the beast': Expert calls for new  terrorism tactics

A leading international security expert is calling on police to adopt a UK model of taking down terrorists after the fatal attack in Melbourne's Bourke Street.  How Nicaragua's Anti-Terror Laws Suppress Dissent

'Simply crying for help': Bourke Street attacker's family deny terror links

As authorities continue to piece together Hassan Khalif Shire Ali's final steps, neighbours painted a picture of an enigmatic figure, saying 'they never spoke to us and we never spoke to them'.

WHY ARE WE IMPORTING REFUGEE TERRORISTS?

COLUMN The terrorist attack on Friday that killed Melbourne restaurateur Sisto Malaspina was our fifth by Muslim refugees. So why are we running a refugee program that has so far killed five Australians?  

2mWhy is it when bullies get caught their first line of defence is that they are really defending themselves and their victims are really the bullies or worse the potential bullies. Bolt the white Christian male has spent years declaring himself to be the victim of Black and Islamist racism proudly cheering us on to fight countless losing wars in other countries. The cowardly act of denying his own personal history of being a cowardly bully. Let's not forget when he called his sons and the sons of other Christians cowards after the terrorist attack in Barcelona. he wished others to have the same conviction the terrorist who all died had. That's Bolt's call to arms.
Yesterday he reminded us of 5-6 cases of individuals he claimed committed acts of terrorism here not acts of terror. Yesterday half were from Sydney and not Melbourne that's acts among 10 million people over 4 years most of whom were found to be severely mentally ill. For Bolt that has been an ongoing crisis of stranger danger that requires an overkill of action by any rational person and Bolt has been aware of how stupid he is. So to compensate he scours the world for similar events to build a global catalogue.
 But there's a purpose in his madness and that's to justify the bullying of others here and abroad and ignoring domestically here and more so America the countless others killed wounded simply terrorized by white Christian males, not in 4 years but simply since Trump became President. The ones killed maimed or injured by those mentally ill because nobody had done anything. As far as Andrew Bolt is concerned there is no mental illness among Muslims they are all a potential danger to all of us and that's why the bombing and deaths of 500,000 have been fully justified. As has been and will continue to be the maltreatment of all Muslim asylum seekers and refugees no matter how long they have been here or whether or not they were raised here. Once a Muslim always a Muslim and therefore suspicious. That my friends are the Bull the white male Christian Nationalist showing his false victimhood. Bolt claims to be a humanist trying to find an excuse to be a fascist when you can't be both.

LITTLE LEFT THAT WE'D AGREE TO DEFEND

COLUMN I smell panic now that politicians are promising lots of money to remember the war dead of 100 years ago. Yes, Armistice Day yesterday should still have meant something to us even now, a century after World War I ended.  But I think many Australians do wonder: are we united enough to even agree on what’s worth defending?

One thing is for certain Andrew Bolt wouldn't nor would he offer up his sons to do so. He walks the walk talks the talk but like John Wayne is paid to promote the shameful dream of glorious sacrifice called war. When push came to shove even his hero Donald Trump wouldn't spend the time to stand in the rain to commemorate the dead.
There is a significant difference between Patriotism and Nationalism one is the love of one's country the other is the hate of other countries and Andrew Bolt clearly stands on the side of hate as he keeps reminding us that the beast is already here and all Andrew Bolt has to do is look in the mirror.
But let's not talk about this baby!!

Citing Rain, Trump Backs Out Of Memorial To Veterans In France

Other world leaders paid their respects, but Trump sent Dunford and Kelly so he could stay in his hotel and tweet.
 

THESE ARE NOT LIBERALS

No real Liberal party could embrace global-warming socialists: "Maybe it was the... Get Up shopping bags that gave away the unusual nature of the gathering of north shore Liberals at the Cremorne Orpheum... Then again, the movie they had come to see, Naomi Klein’s anti-capitalist climate agitprop “This Changes Everything”, was a dead giveaway."

 Bevis and Butthead redefine the Liberal Party

Liberals don't believe in Climate Change
They believe in Climate Change
Therefore they're not Liberals
Blair and Bolt in chorus SEEE!!
 
So John Howard's not a Liberal because he believes in a broad church Liberal Party, Menzies want a Liberal either because he too believes in a broad church too. Didn't he start the Party? Jews mind you weren't welcomed to their club and Catholics weren't to be trusted. The redefinition of the Liberal Party today is The Climate Change Deniers Party or the CCDP according to Bevis Blair and Butthead Bolt believes anything he says even if it does come from Miranda Devine. Lest we forget Andrew Bolt's most favoured Liberal MP Tony Abbott was a swinger on climate change. Watching him pull petals off a daisy saying "I love it, I hate it, I love it a little bit, Oh fuck I need recognition It's crap". Yes, today anyway he's a member of the CCDP.
These aren't members of the Climate Change Deniers Party and that Party will realize they haven't abandoned the Party for One Nation either. Doesn't feel to be staunch and stupid Butthead?

FIDDLING WHILE MORRISON BURNS

No direction means no poll lift: "Newspoll... shows the Coalition falling back another point to trail Labor 55-45." On the same page of The Australian is a symptom of the Government's problem: "Let the states set migrant intake: Morrison". On so many issues Morrison is a no-but-yes each-wayer: immigration, global warming, race politics, Nauru...

 Yes, Abbott lit the match but imagine if Peter Dutton were PM. Bolt always faces the wrong way his back is to the wall but the wall is still Tony Abbott and the rest of Australia sees that.
Abbott is currently like a duck quiet where he can be seen but as busy as all shit under the waterline to have himself be appointed the next opposition leader if he's not kicked out of Warringah first. He plans another Nope Nope Nope campaign against Shorten as he did Ditch the Bitch against Gillard. There's a new collection of 3-word slogans coming our way.
