‘We have to do what is feasible’: Sutton unsure on zero-COVID chances

 Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton says Victoria is “not going to achieve the impossible if it becomes impossible”, after the Premier said the state was still aiming for “very low numbers” of cases.

‘We have to do what is feasible’: Sutton unsure on zero-COVID chances

 

Doing what’s popular rather than what’s right at a time of crisis doesn’t seem to bode well for the future. Feast your eyes upon this, from an anonymous doctor in a western Sydney hospital: “We believe it likely that projected patient numbers will soon be overwhelming…from Westmead to Liverpool and Blacktown, ambulances now routinely line up in hospital carparks, unable to discharge their patients. What exactly is going on?”

Sobering sentiments, right there. And a question that verges on the rhetorical.

It’s the kind of event that many premiers – Victoria’s Daniel Andrews included – foreshadowed based on their health advice and brought about extensive lockdowns to avoid. This kind of activity has been taking place all over the world, notably in the US.

Five days ago, the Associated Press reported that the state of Arkansas ran out of intensive care unit beds for COVID-19 patients on Tuesday for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began. Arkansas has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the US, with 40% of the state’s population fully vaccinated.

At the time of writing, 18.7 million doses had been administered in Australia, with 6.9 million people fully vaccinated. Noice. But still, that only represents 27.2% of the population, which according to my limited understanding of arithmetic is less than 70%. To quote Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction, “Let’s not start sucking each other’s dicks just yet.”

The ABC is also reporting – somewhat depressingly – an “…increase in COVID-19 positive residents refusing to self-isolate”. That’s hard to read, and even harder to comprehend. Asymptomatic people, fatigued from the third wave lockdown? You can kind of understand them doing this. Those who are asymptomatic but have been tested because of proximity to Tier 1 or Tier 2 exposure sites? At a pinch, you can see why it happens, even though it really shouldn’t. But diagnosed COVID-19 positive cases not self-isolating? That’s a dirty pool. Criminal negligence. Public floggings in Martin Place-type stuff.

In NSW, official words and actions look to be motivated by the people’s prevailing mood, rather than best medical practice. Say what you will about Daniel Andrews’ government, but nothing he’s been doing for the past 18 months has been textbook popularity contest-winning stuff.

Andrew Bolt advocates Gladys from his Bolt hole in Melbourne

 

 Andrew Bolt has been silent since the 12/8/21 and has decided to crawl out from under his rock to what looks like another word from the dead in this decaying political blog. The one he claims the be the most read in Australia. What an idiot Bolt is yes there are plenty of different ways to tackle Covid-19 however when compared Dan Andrews runs ahead of the pack. Bolt has stepped out to cheer Gladys in NSW. Praise her for showing us the way on how to deal with the virus. On what rational basis does Bolt arrive at his support other than a defeatist one. Bolt isn't even in Sydney or makes no suggestion that he's living with us the way Gladys says we should safe. Bolt doesn't even live in NSW or live the Berejiklian way at the best of times, "without fear." He remains as hidden as his most read blog is in Australia.

Sydney hospitals are under so much pressure that two have closed due to Covid and aren't accepting patients Westmead and Bankstown and others are 80% full and struggling why? The ambulance service is no longer functional as the the case numbers and community fear is through the roof. Case numbers keep increasing. It's not the case here in Melbourne where the numbers are only 6% of Sydney's and here is Bolt telling us to do it like Gladys.

 Bolt maintains the UK is open and thriving with 80% vaccinated a figure that doesn't include it's children who are currently ravaged by Covid. Israel which was said to be leading the world in vaccination and resulting devil may care  freedom is experiencing a massive 3rd surge in case numbers and an impact on it's health system so much so it's issuing booster shots that they can't guarantee will stem the rising spread of cases. Shops, businesses and citizens are voluntarily locking down. Is there any place that has had success in limiting the spread?

 Yes, Taiwan with strict restrictions. Restrictions as strict as Dan's who no doubt was  aware of their success. Success which Bolt conveniently fails to mention and ignores along with Israel's current failure and the UK's reversal. Bolt's argument simply doesn't hold up to any comparative scrutiny with other nations and in his ignorance is happy to see the least fortunate of us suffer because he believes he's one of the elect hidden away in his own private Bolt hole. 

Australian public fed nonsense as country heads to “irreversible” decision. | by Matt Barrie | Aug, 2021 | Medium

 “Countries that consistently aim for elimination — ie, maximum action to control SARS-CoV-2 and stop community transmission as quickly as possible — have generally fared better than countries that opt for mitigation — ie, action increased in a stepwise, targeted way to reduce cases so as not to overwhelm health-care systems.”

The very opposite of the Berejiklian's approach in NSW that Bolt so admires is a model of disaster

Daniel Andrews keeps telling a big lie about his sixth lockdown of Melbourne – the devastating “seven-day lockdown” he’s now extended into a fifth week. At least.

“There is no other way,” the Victorian premier claims.

Bull. Yes, there is another way, and NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Sunday boasted that she’s showing it.

MAD DAN CLAIMS THERE’S ‘NO OTHER WAY’. THERE IS. CHECK NSW

 When the NZ Christchurch Massacre occured Murdoch's Sky News was shut down by NZ's government for irresponsibly showing the massacre live for over 19 minutes. Andrew Bolt was accused of inciting and inspiring right-wing crazies like Brenton Tarrant, spurring them into action. Bolt, as he often does, when the heat is on went into hiding and silence for a number of days after before coming out doing a Trump condemning violence of any sort. Yes, he was like Trump suggesting an equivalence in violence on both the left and the right that it was the same on both sides, when the opposite is patently true. The worst massacres and violence enacted tends to be carried out not by the left but the self-righteous alt-right neo-Nazi minded freaks that Bolt calls patriots and invites on his show.

After the Barcelona bombings Bolt openly told us of how he admired the conviction the Islamist bombers gave to their cause and he wished young Christians were the same. That they had the balls to fight for what they (he) believed as those young Islamists did. If that isn't a cry in support of incorrect violence what is?

The SAS hasn't been disbanded it exists and will continue to. It is doing it's job "some members" however have been accused by their own team of war crimes who provided evidence to be tested in our courts. The duty and charter of journalism is to report news information and the facts not hide or filter it and that's exactly what the ABC is doing, when reporting the allegations made. So no, the SAS isn't being smeared some acting illegally within it are being questioned for their criminal behaviour and culture brought to light by their SAS accusers members of the team and the ABC is their reporter.

Who the fuck is Andrew Bolt apologizing to, it's not the SAS, but the accused. Meanwhile the SAS couldn't give a second thought to Bolt's grandstanding apology they too want the issue resolved. Bolt's self-aggrandising and is hoping for another George Pell moment in the case of Robert Smith. It's his usual bet each way approach in relief we are witness to. If wrong he won't mention it again and it will fade away lost in the 24/7 news cycle. If Smith is proved guilty however, we will see Bolt light up like Haley's comet. Basically Bolt's a waste of time writing in a paper that has now only 25% of the readers that it had once when Bolt began working for it. The total audience, watching the Bolt Report in a week, is lucky to be 25% of what the free to air stations capture each night. Bolt's been going backwards since he lost the patronage of Tony Abbott.

 Andrew Bolt puts himself above Generals, Politicians and everyone all of whom he maintains is smearing the SAS including the SAS itself who brought the complaints to bear which we are hearing today. Complaints that Bolt claims would be better suppressed. Has Bolt ever done any investigative journalism? Anything that has been as universally promoted as Mark Willacy's report and his  now book? Bolt's most noted writings have resulted in him to being sued for defamation, or charged under the RDA many more complaints suppressed his favorite defense. He's been called a liar by those once close to him and accused of little more than being an attention seeker.

 Just as the SAS were saving Australians in peril - this time in Afghanistan - they were smeared by the ABC. Worse, they were smeared by an ABC which claimed that a song they sang to remember the fallen was actually a song to celebrate war crimes. But which general has defended them?

To the soldiers of the SAS, I apologise that you were smeared by the ABC last Wednesday, at the moment you were risking your lives to save Australians in Afghanistan.

I apologise that none of your generals or politicians then protested at the ABC choosing that very instant to falsely paint you as “unaccountable” drunks and “deviants” with a mind to “murder”.

Those leaders should have roared in outrage, but I heard not a squeak as our national broadcaster again made mock of uniforms that guard us while we sleep.

On Wednesday, SAS soldiers were wrapping up one of the most critical missions in their distinguished history – the rescue of more than 4000 Australians and Afghan allies from Kabul airport amid the deadly chaos of the Taliban takeover.

Just one day later, we learnt what danger they’d faced. Suicide bombers murdered about 200 people at the airport gates, including 13 US soldiers.

But Wednesday was also when the ABC’s 7.30 program chose to air a report, Inside the Drinking Culture of the SAS, to promote a new book by ABC journalist Mark Willacy.

 May be a cartoon of text that says '↓ Australia will be opening up Soon.. I'm not Sure they're talking king to uડ. wrcox'

 Morrison was used as the Pointer the glove for the American ploy.

About the origins, they have no clear conclusion. That both disrespects the WHO's conclusion that it "extremely unlikely" it comes from a lab leak, and means their work for three months has been in vain.

 

  Last weekend, thousands of anti-vaxxers and COVID denialists marched across Australia to protest pandemic restrictions. A core of far-right activists were at the center of the action.

In Australia, the Far Right Is Pushing COVID-19 Conspiracies

“Woke” is Republican-speak. Murdoch Media-speak. Conservative political speak

“Woke” is versatile Conservative catch-all epithet: A form of abuse thrown at us who cry change

And the bigots and the hate-preachers and the supremacists are right to be afraid of us because we in our “wokeness” are going to make sure that they do not have the final word here. To Republicans, to be woke is to be deeply human, and that humanity will remain the foe they cannot defeat.

It’s woke to want fair elections.
It’s woke to be anti-racist.
It’s woke to be anti-fascist.
It’s woke to trust Science.
It’s woke to wear a mask in a pandemic.
It’s woke to be the parent of a bullied child.
It’s woke to want to be addressed with the gender you identify with.
It’s woke to want a less-polluted community.

 Republicans Call Decency “Woke” Because They’re Indecent

 

As long as profit is the driving force of our MSM and Truth, a dispensible sideshow, the battle against the pandemic, climate change, economic injustice, and for our democratic unity will not be just tougher but will continue to be a planned political strategy.

Malevolent fringe groups, smelling blood on the periphery, seek to prey on the confused, reaching out to them when no one else will. This all takes place on a stage set by a corporate entity that has no care for the damage it leaves behind. How we choose to perceive, navigate and communicate this social crisis will have a bearing on the outcomes of our communities and determine the future state of our national harmony. Why is it on the population to bear the burden of these considerations? Without a national message and guidance, without a press willing or able to talk truth to power, Australians are left to fend for themselves in a murky maelstrom of misinformation and political self-interest.

 Government and media misinformation making the pandemic tougher

 

Martyn Iles of the Australian Christian Lobby.

 Just another creationist demanding believe in us not science and rational analysis.

The Australian Christian Lobby has called on its supporters not to “fear death” and instead push state governments to end COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. In an email to members on Friday night, managing director Martyn Iles said the coronavirus was here to stay and that he was “not afraid to face the inevitable”. “Christians should lead the way on this because fear of death’s a condition from which Christ has freed us,” Mr Iles wrote. “The truth is, we must face the virus, either sooner or later because it’s not going anywhere. But fear is ruling the day at great cost

Albanese wants to 'run dead on every issue' and hope the Morrison government 'expires'

Albanese wants to ‘run dead on every issue’ and hope the Morrison government ‘expires’

Former Victorian Liberal Party President Michael Kroger says Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese's "modus operandi" is "to do nothing" and be an invisible target. "He doesn't want to win the policy war," Mr Kroger told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. "He wants to run dead on every issue and hope the government expires". 

It seems that Kroger and Bolt don't dare mention what has been going on in Morrison's Government which is on the verge of going down like the Hindenberg. The media as a whole determines where the attention lies and it's not on Labor or Anthony Albanese dirty party. He isn't Australia's PM yet and hasn't his back to the wall.

 Bolt and Kroger must be reporting form La La Land. Are they in Covid-19 isolation blinkered and with fingers in their ears pretending to be commentators of the main event? That Morrison slippery slope began some six weeks ago and has been accelerating ever since. When you have nothing to say you say nothing and you might be appreciated. When you want to hide reality rather than redirect and gaslight then again you're better off staying shtum than exposing yourself in public. 

British school ‘capitulated to religious extremists’

Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill says a school in Britain has “capitulated to religious extremists” in issuing a public apology to Muslim protestors over a teacher who showed his class a cartoon of Muhammad. The teacher, from Yorkshire, fled to safety after dozens of Muslim protestors showed up to the school and demanded he be sacked, according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “The school caved to the protestors and the principal issued a public apology for offending Islam,” he said. Mr O’Neill said the school sent a “very bad signal” in making the apology. “It has capitulated to religious extremists, it’s capitulated to religious hyper-conservatives who think that their prophet and their religions should never be openly discusses or criticised or made fun of,” he told Mr Bolt. “That kind of capitulation will enflame the mob in fact and make them demand more and more censorship across schools and across the country.” 

 Somebody unknown has taken over Bolt's Blog. Has Brendan O'Neill, editor of the Spectator UK taken over the Bolt Report? The Bolt Report no longer reports on Australian news but focuses on global odd spots and generalizes them. Bolt's always avoids history and trends because trends and history have established predictable patterns of institutional behavior prove his odd spots are  wrong. It's why he's avoided the The March4 Justice, Deaths in Custody, Corporate Welfare and subjects that simply don't fit his version of dysfunction which aren't really typical.

 However, a teacher in the UK being mobbed by Muslims does fit Bolt's "see I told you so" Muslim hate narrative. "The teacher, from Yorkshire, fled to safety after dozens of Muslim protestors showed up to the school and demanded he be sacked, according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “The school caved to the protestors and the principal issued a public apology for offending Islam,”

You see by implication Bolt believes Morrison caved and "“That kind of capitulation will enflame the mob in fact and make them demand more and more censorship across schools and across the country.” Bolt and O'Neill readily criticize and predict from their neo-Nazi crystal balls but never really offer a solution to their "odd spot" teacher such as 1) He was wrong and 2) He and the school are paid to provide a service to the community. They aren't paid to service it like some rapist thug. There is no issue of "free speech" lost in a  class room. The classroom isn't the teacher's private soapbox or cultural forum. It belongs to the multicultural community and the insensitive mother fucker who works for it was out of line.

 Conservative voters 'not interested' in 'identity politics or woke-feminist narrative'

 Conservative voters ‘not interested’ in ‘identity politics or woke-feminist narrative’

Sky News contributor Daisy Cousens says conservative voters are "not interested in identity politics, they don't care about the gender of politicians" and "they don't care about the woke-feminist narrative". Ms Cousens revealed the number one trending topic on Twitter was #PrimeMinisterforWomen which related to Mr Morrison's taskforce formed for women's wellbeing in parliament. "Given the events of last week - what was revealed about certain behaviour in parliament - there is obviously a much broader toxic culture of sexuality and sexual behaviour in parliament that goes well beyond the treatment of women," she said. "What conservative voters - men and women - will see this as is a capitulation to the left and the worst thing conservative parties can do is capitulate to the left. "The only voters Morrison is appealing to, are people on the left who are never going to vote for him anyway."

The production team really are indicating the Bolt Report is on the way out Tuesdays is Daisy Cousens, Kroger and O'Neill Report . No need for Bolt is there other than read the autocue. Someone at Sky has been listening because a shrinking audience hasn't and a format is ready for a rapid change. Bolt never bothered to complain that he's lost his gig on Win a massive ratings blow.. 

Daisy Cousens says what Bolt hasn't the balls to say. However, Cousens offers nothing new other than criticize Morrison for capitulating to the left. But as I said she makes no effort to suggest what it is Morrison should have done? It's certainly not sack anyone or change any rules. 

The only voters Morrison can appeal to are  the ones in the center that determine the outcome of elections and to say "they are only left and never going to vote for him anyway" only makes sense if your an extreme right-winger and a small minority in Australia. So what the fuck is she doing on any screen? It's the reason Morrison has nothing to do with the Bolt Report because it's ignorant of politics, news, information and lacks any mainstream common sense.

 Channel Nine likely the subject of ‘destructive malware’ cyber-attack

Channel Nine likely the subject of ‘destructive malware’ cyber-attack

Technology commentator Trevor Long says Nine Entertainment was likely the subject of “destructive malware” when it was hit by a major cyber-attack. The attack left the channel unable to broadcast some of its most popular weekend shows. “There’s certainly no indication that it’s ransom ware,” Mr Long told Sky News host Andrew Bolt “This is more what we refer to as destructive malware”. “The question here really is was it targeted or is this just one of those random Nigerian scammer-style attacks that happens to have found a very big victim.” 

Truth be known was it orchestrated by Murdoch Media. Why "Nigeria" Bolt certainly doesn't believe Africans are smart enough.

 Qld contact-tracing is either 'incompetent' or this is 'politicians again covering their backsides'

Qld contact-tracing is either ‘incompetent’ or this is ‘politicians again covering their backsides’

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says either the Queensland Premier is in charge of a contact tracing system "so incompetent" it needs to impose a 72-hour snap lockdown on its citizens, or politicians are yet again "covering their backsides by overreacting". Mr Bolt said Australian taxpayers should not reward state governments for snap lockdowns, stating "if Queensland voters support their government panicking like this, then let Queensland voters pay for it". "You see, today was the day the JobKeeper scheme ended. The scheme pumped $90 billion into the business of bosses to keep their workers in jobs. No more. Let the Queensland government now subsidise the businesses it is destroying," he said. "Is this Queensland government seriously saying – four more sick people, two already in isolation – our contact tracers can't possibly deal with that many. Is the Queensland premier really in charge of a contact tracing system that is so incompetent? "Or is this in fact politicians yet again covering their backsides by overreacting, knowing that they've got voters so terrified they'll accept almost anything?"

Typical Bolt while the rest of the world  praises Australia for it's handling of the pandemic and our ability to keep death and spread at bay. While Australia praises Qld for it's vigilance on behalf of us all Bolt is fundamentally arguing for profit and convenience over death and virus spread. 

JobKeeper and corporate welfare has ended but until we are all vaccinated lockdowns are advisable. But Bolt wants the workers back now doing the heavy lifting and ensuring he isn't inconvenienced.

 The "contact tracing system" he claims is so "incompetent" is a system that has been applied and has worked more successfully that in any other advanced country. Crying Wolf and that the sky is falling in Qld seems moronic. Our economy hasn't stalled according to Frydenberg. He budgeted for $140 bill and spent $90bill. So once again it seems an excuse  to not mention Morrison should extend JobKeeper until we have been vaccinated or not mention the past six weeks of watching the Morrison government sink. Qld is Labor so kick it. The LNP is 4 point's behind Labor in the polls and was trashed in W.A. It's looking extremely jaundiced with Laming Porter and Reynolds still in place and Cash as attorney general and Morrison saying "we will change" echoing Tony Abbott's promises.

 Prime Minister Scott Morrison eventually told Parliament the Gaetjens review had been paused.

PM could have spoken plainly about Higgins. Instead, he  botched it

Prime Minister Scott Morrison received a letter from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson thanking him for his commitment to net zero.

Boris Johnson outlines why Morrison was rejected to speak at climate summit

Labor has tabled a letter from Boris Johnson to Scott Morrison, who thanked our PM for his personal commitment to net zero and said he looks forward to him setting down a timeline.

Morrison's fundamental commitment has been hs promises and ambitions both USA's Kerry and Johnson are totally aware of Morrison's politi-speak. Promises and ambitions aren't actions.


Morrison strides down an empty corridor holding a folder

But he came with no solutions, only a commitment to stand with women. It was a reset, a changing of the script. But without solutions it runs the risk of being seen as a political exercise in self-preservation. A spin job. A response to research and polling that is telling the government women are red hot with rage.

Isn't this the same reason Kerry and Johnson don't take him seriously?

     Scott Morrison has fought back tears as he pledged to improve the treatment of women in Parliament.

    But he drew scorn for "weaponising" a previously unreported complaint in a tense exchange with a journalist without consideration for the woman at the centre of that matter

    In a fiery exchange at the press conference today, Sky News reporter Andrew Clennell put it to the Prime Minister that the situation made it look like he had lost control of ministerial staff.

    "Right now," Mr Morrison responded, "you'd be aware in your own organisation, that there is a person who has had a complaint made against them for harassment of a woman in a women's toilet and that matter is being pursued by your own HR department.

    "Let's not, all of us who sit in glass houses here, start getting into that."

    Sky News later said no employee was subject to such an investigation.

NSW Residents Facing Fourth Once-In-A-Hundred-Year Event Since Last January

Fake News and Misinformation Exposed 

Bolt is the Murdochian distraction: No News for weeks quite the reverse. However, don't talk about Australia, the LNP, Climate ,Women, Immigration, Vaccination they are all off Bolt's radar. So what is? The US Democrats, Trump, and waffle about Western Civilization under attack. However, is Bolt the spokesman, the protagonist or just the straight man introducing his more effusive guests, Daisy Cousens and Brendan O'Neill?

 Democrats are 'essentially importing votes' for themselves

Democrats are ‘essentially importing votes’ for themselves

Sky News contributor Daisy Cousens says she thinks the reason the Democrats are "so intent on these open borders" is that "essentially they're importing votes for themselves". "That's why they're so intent on a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants," she told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. "It's because they know that these millions and millions more people will likely vote Democrat. "It's a way of bulking up their own voting pool, there's no, sort of morality behind it." It comes as a recent surge in migrants has been experienced at the US-Mexico border. 

If America actually pursued Foreign Policies that didn't create violent disruption to other nations people seeking 'asylum' and safety might just be fewer. There is no disruption Nth of the border because American Special Ops aren't waging a war of disruption there. Hopeful desperate people on the Southern border of the US aren't from Mexico. They are from Venezuela, Guatemala,Honduras Nicaragua Ecuador, all of whose politics are being interfered with and manipulated by the US. The US actually has a visible presence in 84% of the worlds 154 nations. Also an invisible one with 60,000 special forces unaccounted for. Some governments they support and others they want to see fall. The people currently knocking at their Southern doors are legal "Asylum Seekers". Not all of whom will be allowed to stay but need to be treated humanely according to international agreements. Unlike we do in Australia.

Cousens is an idiot. The Democrat base is an expanding educated middle class of diverse colour and sex. They aren't Trump's dirt 'poor' hard done by working class of America or the Latin world. The wealthy Latinos also Republicans are welcome and simply fly and buy their way in. They don't vote Dem. The working class and unemployed poor try to sneak in and listen to Trump. Donald Trump's base resists American change and found in America's Northern Industrial states. The Southern sunbelt has swung against him Georgia, Arizona etc demographic has changed and attracted educated people and will continue to do so in the years to come. Allowing the poorest immigrants in only assists the Democrats because the Republicans are shrinking their base. As long as they have the Filibuster and voter suppression laws in place they are comfortable in being a minority. They know that can gridlock legislation as long as they all vote for what's best for the Party and not America.


 Donald Trump 'is the king of social media'

Donald Trump ‘is the king of social media’

If Donald Trump does start his own social media platform it will be "an awful lot of fun," according to Sky News contributor Daisy Cousens. "This is so exciting," she told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. It comes after reports emerged on Monday that Donald Trump is set for a social media comeback, with plans to launch his own platform in two-to-three-months time. Earlier in the year, Donald Trump's accounts were banned by both Twitter and Facebook. Ms Cousens said Donald Trump "is the king of social media". "Fingers crossed this happens.

Monday must be Cousens'Day it's certainly not Bolt's. Bolt hasn't said or done anything since Thursday. He's a true blue unessential worker and gets paid for non production. He's a reflection and amplification of Cultural Capitalism an opiate. A Millionaire working for Billionaires yes, a worker, if he could be called that, whose product is worthless to 98% of the population. 

There is only one Trump as there was only one Archie Bunker and only one Roseanne, all entertainers. The reason Bolt and Cousens are cheering is the attention Trump draws to himself stops people from analyzing them. Their ratings are dependant not of their personal skills but the corporate decisions networks make. Watch Bolt's ratings now begin to plummet now that regional free to air Winn Broadcasting has dropped Sky News for Costello's Ch9. 

Trump won't have 81M followers on social media because the Republican Party is shrinking and he shafted a great percentage of his base already. Only Murdochians and the worst of the worst will still be cheering him on because Trump justified their existense. However the corporate flow of money won't be coming their way either. Trump was a political Karadashian he's done and dusted.  

 

 Western societies seem to be 'tearing themselves apart'

 

Western societies seem to be ‘tearing themselves apart’

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says western societies “are tearing themselves apart”. “There's this new tribalism. There's this multiculturalism," Mr Bolt said. "People entrenched in their own 'my side, your side' ... the anti-white racism. "The death of religion and all this when we've got social media and mass immigration to deal with to try and create one community out of." Mr Bolt said in Britain, public order now seems "so fragile". He spoke to Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill about recent clashes between police and demonstrators in Bristol. 

Well in a nutshell Bolt can't stand 'diversity' in his ever so "mini me" world. "British public order" is real it's neither 'fragile' nor an oxymoron. They managed to vaccinate 844,000 people in one day. That hardly sounds like anarchy? 70% of adult Brits have been vaccinated in the shortest  any nation. A nation of different races,religions and what Bolt likes to call opposing 'tribes'. Here he is claiming systemic "victimhood" against whites dominates all Western Institutions Bolt's simple rhetoric reverses everything particularly the privileged, poor, white, christian rich who are left to suffer but be compensated with wealth and power and corporate welfare and protection. 

According to Bolt protesters are in danger of "showing how weak they are". Yet isn't he just doing that protesting"anti-white racism"? Isn't his crying showing us how pathetic he really is. Ignorant of the concepts of racism, power, tribalism and how they operate in reality. Basically Bolt's failure is to communicate but in doing so expresses the fear of the privileged.

Fighting Fake News with REAL 9/3/21; CRIKEY THEY GOT IT WRONG!! Misinformation tricks of the trade;

 

 

 

 

5 ways to spot if someone is trying to mislead you when it comes to science

 

Crikey has published an appalling confection, promoted by others in the media, to cast doubt on the victim’s account and engender sympathy for alleged perpetrator Attorney-General Christian Porter, writes Dr Jennifer Wilson.

Crikey’s malicious attempt to discredit victim in Porter rape allegation

 

Anyone who cares to watch “Inside the Canberra Bubble” might also conclude that Porter’s long history of predatory behaviours, adultery, lying, manipulation and political treachery makes it reasonably straightforward that an inquiry is necessary.

Julie Bishop backs inquest, says Reynolds had duty to tell police about alleged rape

The former deputy Liberal leader backed an inquest into the death of the woman who accused Christian Porter of raping her in 1988 – and also undermined the position of another of her former WA Liberal colleagues.

Donald Trump ‘had the guts to say what others were thinking’

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Donald Trump "had the guts" to say what other people were thinking but dared not say, after footage resurfaced of the former US president taking aim at Meghan Markle last year. Herald Sun

 What we have here is Bolt and Cousens doing a Clock Work Orange tag team tap dance and makeover on Meghan with their hats in hand and their only sponsor the Herald Sun

Andrew Bolt "knows" what people think doesn't he? This is a set up to slime a black woman and wife of the most popular Royal Harry and he admires those that also do the same for their own benefit. So he takes an old Trump grab to degrade Markle.

 However, didn't Trump lose the big one when it comes "knowing what people think" didn't he lose "the election"? Meghan, it seems, knew what Trump didn't. What 7 million voters thought!

 Today Trump doesn't care what the fast shrinking Republican Party thinks or maybe he does because 45% at CPAC said they won't support him in 2024. That's 45% won't be giving him money. So now he's sending out "Cease and Desist" notices preventing the  Republican Party using his name in any fund raising campaigns.

Proof Trump wants  all the cash for himself to support his life style and up and coming legal costs.  Mary his niece who knows him only too well predicts he won't run in 2024. So then he's really grifting for  chump change and hasn't committed to any campaigns but his personal lifestyle.

 

 

It's critical 'we don't get lied to' about how COVID-19 started: Bolt

It’s critical ‘we don’t get lied to’ about how COVID-19 started: Bolt

Sky News host Andrews Bolt says it is critical "we do not get lied to" and that information "is not kept from us" regarding the origins of COVID-19.

"BUT CHINA WOULD SAY THAT WOULDN'T THEY? Says Andrew Bolt

CHINA CHINA CHINA remember the Americans and that flue they called SPANISH SPANISH SPANISH when it wasn't? It was all American. Remember HIV that was GAY GAY GAY and EBOLA was AFRICAN AFRICAN AFRICAN to Bolt. New diseases are discovered every day but aren't politicized as much as this is.  What we do know is Andrew Bolt never calls it a PANDEMIC PANDEMIC PANDEMIC as science does. But then he doesn't bother about science does he? It's a religion. 

Why is it Bolt always uses global misfortunes to deny science and politicize agendas and policies in order not to change the way things are when they are obviously broken? He blames, shames and supports division, confusion, distraction and doubt to prevent progress. This sounds like a replica of his arguments against climate change and a virus itself ? 5 ways to spot if someone is trying to mislead you when it comes to science



Harry and Meghan’s interview was a ‘grotesque betrayal’ of the Queen

Harry and Meghan’s interview was a ‘grotesque betrayal’ of the Queen

Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey was a “grotesque betrayal” of the Royal Family and the Queen.  Herald Sun

Tag team trashing by Bolt and Cousens following the Murdochian global line. Like any trashy magazine in search of a headline for a dollar. Note the sickly gloat in Bolt's voice. Some might think it's confected but it's not it's Andrew Bolt and what he does best and enjoys. No journalism or facts required. There was no betrayal of the Queen, Phillip or the naming of anyone by Harry or Meghan. They were talking about the Firm. Most Australians would agree they have been sacrificed and spat out by the Firm. If there were a vote today Australian Republicans would win.

 It was an accurate and personal account of the operation of the Institution and life within the System. A life into which Harry was born and Meghan a black woman was invited and seen to be accepted. It's an account of how that System and Institution betrayed them as individuals and continues to turn everyone into marionettes performing to it's operational needs.

 Harry and Meghan spoke out "after" they discarded their masks. There wasn't a "No Disclosure Contract" and no money was exchanged. Meghan won her defamation case against the media. Bolt calls them fake victims but makes no mention  "No Security" was offered to them after they resigned. That if anything was a workplace betrayal. Take the security off Abbott or other people of note and listen to Bolt scream. Harry is living off his mothers inheritance everything else ripped from under him. "No Meghan you can't see a psychologist No you can't get medical help" "No Harry even if your were born into the system your out" and even dad won't answer your calls. A complete reminder of what happened to Diana.

Andrew Bolt claims the system was betrayed. Remember when he was convicted and found guilty under the RDA. He pouted threatened to quit News Corp until he realized they couldn't give a shit and were ready to show him the door. Bolt shut up and remained a puppet to a system. He had no guts.

 

 Oprah gave Harry and Meghan ‘free rein to smear the Royal Family’

Oprah gave Harry and Meghan ‘free rein to smear the Royal Family’

Oprah Winfrey gave Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “free rein to smear the royal family” in the interview which saw two privileged people show how narcissistic they can “actually be,” according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

Andrew Bolt who only invites people on his show that are useful to what he wants to say. A line he knows will be Murdochian and pleasing to the Firm. Woke is anything that runs against conservative culture and must be policed and cancelled. Bolt claims politeness is central to his world but simply bursts out in self righteous anger trying to impress what's fast becoming a minority. He's aping the tabloids.

 It's a distraction from the women righteously angry at the LNP boys club culture in the Canberra bubble. Now that's a betrayal and embarrassment of Morrison leadership and Bolt is serving up a distraction. Harry and Meghan were a revelation that no matter what position you hold you are little more than a handservant to an Institution to which your individuality is forfeited. They are Higgins  and  Tame revealing the truth of the Firm.

Oprah has shown up the media ethics demonstrated by Murdoch and shown the have none. Now that Trump has gone and ratings are booming at CNN  Murdoch has turned to investing in online gambling because he knows he is a small fry in entertainment compared to Netflix and Google. His pretense at being  a News provider is patently bullshit and  little more than a grab for money. Will they be asking Facebook and Google to give them money for this trash, calling it news?
