China has ONE military base outside its territory US has 880 just do the numbers. The pentagon has 59,000 unaccounted for military staff on its payroll. Where are they? (ODT)

China works cooperatively with other nations, favouring a carrot over a stick approach. US relations with other countries are the polar opposite — pressuring, bullying, intimidating, and threatening them to bend to its will. The US has been waging war on Iran by other means since its 1979 revolution, Trump regime hardliners more ruthlessly hostile toward its sovereign rights than their predecessors.

So when will these foreign governments, which claim to care about human rights and make pious declarations of “never again,” take action to tackle the perpetrators of a modern-day genocide in Myanmar? There have been the mildest of travel bans imposed on a handful of Burmese generals but nothing whatsoever imposed against the state counsellor herself. Suu Kyi has been stripped of various awards and freedoms from the likes of Amnesty International and the cities of Oxford, Edinburgh, and Paris, but do such minor humiliations really amount to justice for the Rohingya victims of “murder, rape, torture, sexual slavery, persecution and enslavement”?
To be clear: The refusal to sanction Suu Kyi, or consider prosecuting Myanmar’s de facto leader for her role in the Rohingya genocide, two years later, is not just an insult to the hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees waiting for some sort of accountability in Bangladesh and beyond. It endangers Myanmar’s other minorities, such as the Kachin Christians in the north, who have also been on the receiving end of Tatmadaw violence and terror in recent years.
As Ibrahim warns: “If you allow one genocide to go unpunished, you are opening the door to many others.”

CHARLES WON'T READ. SO HE SAYS YES TO DANGER

Charles Richardson was a Liberal adviser, which is a sad comment on the party. He now claims the Liberals are hypocrites for banning extremist Bassim Tamami while claiming to defend free speech. He alleges this after admitting he doesn't know what Tamami has actually  said. Ricchardson's wilful ignorance is his big mistake.    

The New Measure of Hypocrisy is Netanyahus but there are 10 Bolt's to one Netanyahu

 

  He was allowed into the country no questions asked. His visit disturbed a large number of Australians not for what he says but for the arrest of journalists and the arrests of people held on no charge even opposition MP. He is facing charges and is under criminal investigation for receiving bribes and undeclared gifts. What we have here is an attack on Charles Rhicardson who simply raised the question of why another "extremist" a Palestinian  hasn't been allowed into the country to speak. Bolt's wilful ignorance of the right wing Israeli Government is a bigger mistake because it is in fact propaganda not written by Bolt but handed to him. Chemicals used by Israel not to fertilize but to kill are sprayed into Gaza where pregnant wome children and families are trying to eek out a living
Judge for yourself 
Bolt seems to be suggesting that the IDF and the military courts of Israel are also ignorant and don't know what they are doing. Bassem Tamimi  has been jailed on a number of occasions by the Israeli's but never for what Bolt declares to be "dangerous acts of violence" by one of Palestine's greatest terrorists. Bolt holds the mike has the platform which he doesn't share which brands him for what he is. An un-Australian right wing bigot fire brand with a loud speaker the same as any propagandist for ISIS is.

Bassem Tamimi | +972 Magazine
 In a plea bargain, Bassem Tamimi was sentenced to four months in prison, ordered to pay a fine of NIS 5,000, and given an additional three-year suspended sentence. Just recently having completed a 13-month prison stint, he was arrested last month while taking part in a protest at a settlement supermarket. Andrew Bolt's Dangerous man
Tamimi is recognized internationally for his work in organizing peaceful protests against the encroachment onto Palestinian lands by Israeli settlers. The European Union has described him as a “human rights defender,” and Amnesty International has demanded his release as a “prisoner of conscience.”
 Bassem Tamimi, one of the leaders of the popular unarmed struggle in Nabi Saleh, was sentenced Tuesday to 13 months in prison – the period of time he has already served. Tamimi: “The court sent political prisoners a clear message that they are better off confessing to what they have not done”. 
Bolt has printed propaganda handed to him  and he accuses  Charles Richardson of being ignorant.

Palestinian protest organizer stands no chance in army court

A near-universal conviction rate, testimonies provided under duress, prolonged detention, the absence of attorneys and tolerance to crimes by IDF soldiers: the trials of Bassem Tamimi and Ashraf Abu Rahmah demonstrate the lengths that military courts will go to in order to keep peaceful Palestinian activists behind bars.

Israelis must speak up about the injustices here, and the world must listen

Israeli planes spray herbicides inside Gaza for fourth time this year | +972 Magazine

Posted on April 7, 2017 by peterimrich

Israeli planes have been reported spraying herbicides over land inside the Gaza Strip on four occasions in 2017, including twice in the last two days. Israeli planes sprayed herbicides inside the Gaza Strip for the second day running on Wednesday and the fourth time this year, according to local farmers and Israeli rights NGO Gisha. A video published on Wednesday, allegedly of the crop-dusting, shows a plane flying low and spraying over farmland. Palestinians who reported the incident said that the planes had dusted near the Gaza border fence, and the Gaza Ministry of Agriculture is investigating the extent of the damage from the…

JOHN HOWARD WILL FUND CIVILISATION'S ENEMIES

Gerard Henderson is only too right. Former Prime Minister John Howard is about to waste another $3 billion if he trusts the University of New South Wales to defend western civilisation. He is likely to fund the the enemies, not fight them.

"First, Howard should already know the universities have been captured by the Left:" Bolt

I'm reminded that Mussolini, Hitler, Pinochet, Franco, and other  military dictators dissatisfied with  the imaginary  leftist take over of their nation's institutions and culture justified their military takeovers by just a statement like that. Gerard Henderson's opposition to a  US study Center was just that it was a study center and not and opportunity for a 'think tank' and not the equivalent of the IPA within the confines of the university. Australians might I remind Bolt are free to think diversely it's why he's not been secreted away by our leftist security forces who still let Muslims wander our streets.

" He held strongly to the view that we should preserve those parts of our heritage that had made Australia such a special country... Not least of these was the great Western tradition of liberal democracy." Ramsay

" I would bet on it. Why not entrust the legacy to a body with a proven record for fighting for Western civilisation, such as the Institute for Public Affairs, which has its own western civilisation program?" Bolt

Ramsay certainly didn't entertain giving it to the IPA because as Bolt says they have their very own idea of western civilization and not Ramsay's Catholic one.

" protecting Western Civilisation or, indeed, taking on the left." Henderson is not what Ramsay had in mind and even Howard recognizes that. Henderson seems to believe the faculties of the Social Sciences are all dangerous and left wing simply because they question all truths as merely social constructs. Critical thinking is sufficiently a danger for Henderson.

 

HUH? WHAT LAWS DID UNIONS BREAK TO GIVE US MEDICARE?

Liberty Sanger is a smart Labor lawyer, crippled by her collevist urge to toe the Leftist line in defiance of reason and the facts. Take her  absurd claim that if unions did not break unjust laws we'd have no Medicare.

"Liberty Sanger is a smart Labor lawyer, crippled by her collevist urge to toe the Leftist line in defiance of reason and the facts."  Bolt
Senior Writer for Newscorp is about to lose editors and production staff and Bolt will have to edit and upload his work himself, be prepared for lots more and worse of this.This sentence alone coming from Bolt is a joke.
Tony Abbott is on record saying after 11 NSW Liberals were stood down for taking undeclared donations from property developers in 2014 and found in contravention of the law. " They were entitled to do it as it's not the fault of the Liberal MPs   it's the fault of the law" 
The protests against the Vietnam war certainly helped change the attitudes of the public and bring our troops home.  "In fact, it’s difficult to think of any social change in Australia which was brought about by breaking the law. Bolt
Protests about South African Aparthied brought about the sanctions.
Barry York, Brian Pola and Fergus Robinsons imprisonment on no charges at the government's pleasure changed laws that prevented that occurring again.
The only truth here is Bolt saying "it's difficult to think".
Abortion laws were broken and demonstrated against so often the government had no option but to legalize it.


 

MORE AFRICAN VIOLENCE: WOMAN BASHED

The level of violence young Africans in Melbourne - most Somali - is astonishing:. The latest, a gang robs a man, confronts teensagers and then bashes a mother who intervened. When will Amanda Vanstone admit error?

"The level of violence young Africans in Melbourne - most Somali - is astonishing:."Bolt
A short time ago  it was the Sudanse and earlier it was the Africans. Now when thee ABC the police or other media fail to name or identify these kids Bolt is up in arms for these left wing mothers failing to differentiate who they are. Isn't Bolt's demands for the kids to be identified as he does correctly or wrongly identity politics which in the post below he argues is fake when it's done to him the "new racism"
" I was approached by about three to four African males, all dressed in black and face covered and everything, and all brandishing weapons asking for everything I have," he said..." A witness
Nowhere in this post are Somalis mentioned other than by Andrew Bolt the racist who denies he is. Yet from this event he demands Amanda Vanstone apologize for our entire Immigration Policy. I agree Australian Immigration did make some genuine mistakes they allowed the the Bolt's into Australia in 1959 and look what the conversations and socialization around their kitchen table produced Andrew Bolt. Totally un-Australian  white  ultra racist.
Andrew Bolt talks about identity politics he holds the microphone and rants and editorializes about any number of people  with whom he doesn't share the stage. He writes columns and blogs without providing any room for response as shown by the fact his blogs are moderated. He presents himself a some sort of expert on other peoples lives. He says he a conversation starter a debater however who is he having a conversation with nobody other than by himself. Andrew Bolt is neither politically correct as he doesn't share the space of mike for any dialogue nor is he Identity politics free in fact he's the embodiment of it. He finds lying, hate, incitement and abuse all appropriate and denies any responsibility for the consequences.  It's why Mordecai Bromberg said "guilty".


 

MARK LATHAM ON THE NEW ANTI-WHITE RACISM

Mark Latham's new Outsiders Facebook site isn't missing a beat. The latest: Latham on the strange anti-white racism that shows the Left is exactly what it condemns, thanks to identity politics. Watch.

As a media man Bolt's more a shadow than a commentator he shadows the work of Tim Blair, Rowan Dean etc Here he's shadowing Mark Latham amplifying the idea of reverse racism of which he maintains he's a victim. There really is or never was any identity politics involved here in Australia because it's a social fact that we have always been equal.

 Andrew Bolt is only a white middle class male whose social position makes him a target of those white fellas who  think they are black and disadvantaged . They have adopted their new racism for political advantage. We are all equal says Bolt just because banks don't give them credit cards or they can't find jobs isn't Bolt's fault. We are all equal to apply.  Bolt maintains"Identity politics is simply their excuse and a fake narrative that tries to puts the shame on me." After all Bolt insists he's indigenous too the only thing that differentiates us all is meritocracy and Mark Latham can prove it. Reverse Racism is nothing more than flipping the context of social and historical reality to make it meaningless. 

An aside Newscorp lost $248 million this financial year  largely due to the failure of their papers in Australia. Their mastheads here The Daily Telegraph, The Herald Sun and The Courier Mail are about to get a hair cut. If Bolt doesn't go he will be required to edit and upload his column himself. Given the amount of Butthead errors that appear in his blogs expect to see a disaster in the Herald Sun. We will most likely see the real quality of this man's work the shadow will be revealed for what he is.

On my shows - politicians cry at what they joined greens to destroy

Politicians cry for the sake of 750 jobs and Bolt is laughing and indignant all at the same time. What a lot of posturing and hypocrisy from a man that insisted we put troops on the ground in the Middle East and escalate the bombing without any consideration to the death and mayhe it could cost people living there but without regard for the possible deaths of Australians. Not tear in his eye would have been spilt by Andrew Bolt unless of course it was his son that was sent to do the job. Bolt is proud of politicians who send our sons to war but but disgusted with those who are about to close Hazelwood. Andrew Bolt fails to advise Australia that when Hazelwood was first put into service it had an expected life of 20 years. It should of been closed some 30 years ago according to the engineers that in fact put it into service. Bolt's political posturing is as bad as Donald Trumps he will say anything even when he hasn't a clue whether or not it is the most practical thing to do. It's hypocrisy till the point of exhaustion. Bolt wasn't crying blue murder when Murdoch sacked and closed down his printing plant putting people out of work. We don't hear him battling for the journalists in his industry that are losing their numbers as quickly as leaves in Autumn. No that's progress but clean energy is not.

I'll repeat another fact Steve Prices show isn't Andrew Bolt's so what shows , plural , is Bolt talking about. He truly is a stage thief.

Welcome to Mingoola we are not all One Nation or Andrew Bolt

 

The case against George Pell just fell to bits

 

" To which I say: is this all you’ve got? Is this all anyone can pin on the man who was branded “scum” in the Tim Minchin song played on high rotation by the ABC? Who was attacked in the media as a “liar”, “sociopath”, “coward” and “dangerous individual”?"

Lets' not for get this is 1) a Paywall for the Herald Sun and 2) The continuing repeat of the PR exercise started when the investigation into the Catholic Churches activities in protecting pedophiles began. As the film Spotlight showed about Boston the church can gather a range of institutional forces to protect itself. The media being an obvious and very public one. There is mutual benefits in this just as there is benefits of jumping on the let's defend Trump band wagon, an audience. So is it any wonder that this "column" is attached to the Herald Sun Paywall?

As for it's content given the paragraph above it's another example of Bolt's many and varied lists where he cherry picks and gathers together a variety of disconnected events and tries to make out that they are a connected conspiracy it what made the X files compelling TV but just fiction nevertheless. Where as the investigation into one man George Pell is more akin to what an inquiry into Donald Trump would look like with Andrew Bolt his PR agent.

 

"Demented":John Howard damns persecution of Bill Leak

 

Demented John Howard we always knew he was. But then so is Andrew Bolt turning to Howard as a defense of Bill Leak. Howard of the refugees will do anything even throw their  Children Overboard declaration and  believe me we know Saddam has WMDs and so we need to invade Iraq. That John Howard would be turned back as a character reference by Peter Foster Australia's most infamous con man. Proof is simple as and that's the distortion that couples  free speech with the ability to hate lie and falsify facts call anything you want truth in the name of informing the Australian public with the only arbiter or defense against it civil privatized and  the ability to sue. All you wind up with is  braggarts like Trump yelling well sue me if you dare. It's what Andrew Bolt thought he could do until he ran up against the arbiter of a decent society the HRC and judge Mordecai Bromberg who judged the case on it's merits to find Andrew Bolt a liar loose with the facts and of no value to public interest. So here's Bolt quite willing to call John Howard as his and George Pell's  character witness and yes that is demented. Who stands up for the likes of Melissa Dinnison who Bolt is quite happy to steam roll.  Racism is a one way street and needs to be called out and prosecuted anywhere is found.

 

Another bad week for Turnbull. So Savva shoots Abbott

 

3 Nov So is this all there is Nikki Savv's husband works for the Liberal Party well so does Peta Credlin. Family connections Andrew Bolt's son works for the IPA was that job ever advertised? Is that all Bolt's got? he tried to push himself into the headlines by declaring McGregor a liar for reporting what Abbott didn't say in a private conversation. In other words he called McGregor a liar as if Bolt was a fly on the wall and a party to what went on. However Savva  doing much the same as Bolt gets a shellacking from Bolt on the basis hubby works for Malcolm. It seems that in this instance what's really peeking Bolt is the fact he's on the outer and not as up close and personal as he's like to be with Tony. Anything Abbott and Bolt thinks of it as personal property and feels he has the right to be center stage when it comes to commentary. 

 

Migrants brawl to control invaded Paris

 

 It appears there is no obligation any more for Journalists to ask What, How, When,Where or Why, not in MSM anyway. Just Google Paris riots and the the competition is all about the banners and the click bait it can attract.
Bolt turns to a slag rag  the Daily Express which is like the Sun in the UK to demonstrate just how refugees aren't of any danger to the French. Strange refugees fighting among themselves are reason for France to be in terror. The Express does a Bolt and leads with an ISIS PR video of a beheading totally unrelated to the events in Paris and even admits at the tail of their article "It was not immediately clear what sparked the early morning fight, but rival gangs of people smugglers have previously been involved in violent brawls in Calais." The fact is The Express admits they haven't a clue. But rest assured Andrew Bolt knows all. It's a wonder the Daily Express didn't ring him for  advice. Strange isn't it there is to be a rally that evening by the French in support of the refugees which slips Bolt's narrative.

 He even turns to the equivalent of Reclaim Australia the Neo Nazis not refugees to make his point Germany should also be afraid. However he doesn't mention the fact that an Australian member of of a group he supports has been convicted of terrorist acts. turns. Bolt really spends a great deal of effort and exaggeration selectively weaving a tapestry of bullshit in order to create fear and promote the ISIS cause as does the Express. 350,000 is a "huge number " according to Bolt for the 29 countries of the EU to take in. It amounts to  0.7% . Which is half of what Canada has already taken in in the past 12 months and less than what we have promised to do. Bolt's verbalizing of "huge " is a license he believes he has to print bullshit. Bullshit  simply to promote the ultra conservative cause he's so driven by. This folks is a no truth zone. The truth is French logistics need improving given the pressure of Brexit. What Bolt fails to mention why?. French Citizens Rise Up In Their Millions To Protest Ruling Elite – Choice and Truth
