Fighting Fake News with REAL 22/10/21; The Perrottet Papers; When you don't get what you pay for in politics and politicians;

 

 Haven't we heard all of this crap before from the likes of Hitler, Trump, and Tony Abbott and just about every blinkered assimilationist on the planet? History is filled with falsities, bullshit, lies, fiction and myth that need to be tested and sieved through. Multiculturalism is what made Australia unique and immigration and immigrants fled here to escape the ethnocentric, monoculturist, fascist world they'd experienced even less than 100 years ago. Tudge wants history to be a fable agreed upon and a fantasy of our British past. People aren't challenging the past they providing a balance to the over exaggerated nonsense Tudge wants us to be taught.

 His argument is  the essence of what the extreme right wing neo-Nazis, racists have been crying out for for years and Tudge wants to legitimizing and normalizing their complaints against Multiculturalism. He's fundamentally promoting the idea that critical analysis is a form of Replacement Theory. That any negative view, whether factual or not, that criticizes his political position or version wants him replaced.  It doesn't, but he on the other hand wants it banned from from our classrooms,replaced. A view of Australia as a blessed White Christian Colony in the Asian Pacific with all it's 17th,18th,and19th century values and  myths is still in tact. No regard is given to the vast changes that came with Immigration post WW2. Let alone the destruction done when men like Tudge landed on this shore 220 years ago and rearranged the history lived here for 60k years.

Yes, we saw Abbott and the LNP make what Tudge wants  a "degree course" in our tertiary education system that specializes in bullshit isolated from the courses that challenge it's focus. We saw a government try to force University systems to jump to it's tune with bribes. It did and failed with Abbot's Climate Change efforts but found some success " Western History" Now they want to enforce it in our primary schools and up as well just as Hitler did. But even Hitler didn't demand it be as universal as Trudge wants it to be. He confined it to the Hitler Youth movement his version of the German scouts but not to the Education System as a whole as Tudge is trying to insist. 

Tudge is a Cyclops one eyed no originality and is simply parroting Trump's Republican Party and the Toryies in the UK. But I guess that's what the LNP are largely about and have been doing since elected. Recently we saw the establishment of AUKUS and thr "replacement of the French by these imperialistic anglophiles in the Pacific Distracting and dividing us with "culture wars" might be a political tactic so we don't notice just how they have fucked they have managed the nation economically.  I guess even Hitler wasn't original in that. He too turned on foreigners as we have seen the LNP do. They all in that  regard are following in the footsteps of Mussolini who managed to achieve things faster and in a shorter time than than Hitler or what the right of the LNP here would like. There's is the common dream dream Mussolini unashamedly coined as Fascism.

Schools overlook Western history: Minister

 

 

 

 WTF

Dominic Perrottet’s controversial hedge fund is lending to Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and Cayman Islands. What is the NSW Premier doing funding dictators with NSW taxpayers’ money? Michael West reports on the New Generations Fund.

 With no regulated oversight Perrottet has gone to the the shady side of gambling with heavily geared public money.

 Banks and credit agencies agree that the DRF is debt funded. That means that, as NSW is running a deficit, it is using borrowed funds to punt, the funds which belong to the people of NSW, the funds for which the government and the Premier are stewards. It also means this is a high-risk leveraged investment, so when markets tank, it will tank on steroids.

 Perrottet invests in Putin not Parramatta – Michael West Media

 

Against all advise and under the sheets of the secret relationship between Maguire and Berejiklian the Wagga Wagga greant previously rejected on numerous occasions was rubber stamped by....

  According to leaked internal documents, the person who eventually rubber-stamped the project was the treasurer at the time, one Dominic Perrottet.

As journalist Anthony Klan summarised, “Documents from a cache released by the NSW Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) show that just weeks before the grant was awarded to the private Wagga Wagga gun club, in August 2017, NSW Government staff were concerned about the grant process – which needed to go to the ‘Treasurer’ for approval.

“‘We need to ensure that the funding goes to public infrastructure, not to private assets on private land,’ wrote Jenny Davis of Infrastructure NSW.

“The July 8, 2017 email was to seven colleagues, spanning three NSW Government departments.

“‘The project is unusual,’ Davis wrote.

“‘The ERC (Expenditure Review Committee) minute approved it before we had ever heard of it. Our recommendation doesn’t need to go back to ERC, but it does need the Treasurer to approve it.’

“The $5.5m grant, which is at the heart of ICAC’s investigations, was approved just weeks later, in August 2017. Perrottet was NSW Treasurer at the time.”

Perrottet tied to ICAC investigation

That old saying “we get what we pay for ” certainly doesn’t apply to their electorates or the caliber of politicians any longer. We can put that old cherry to bed. They are owned and belong to their donor masters and the dumber and less integrity they have the better. I believe Waleed Aly gives the likes of Christensen, Canavan, et al far too much credit.

That was best distilled when Barnaby Joyce complained that the Nats couldn’t resolve the issue in their party room meeting this week because they didn’t have enough time. As though the government hasn’t had years to think about this. It was like watching someone start cramming the night before an exam, having not cracked open the textbook all year.

 There are many possible reasons for this weirdness, several of them familiar by now. All major parties, but especially those of the Coalition, receive large donations from fossil fuel companies, whose return seems to be fossil-friendly climate policy. The Nationals have become a miners’ party rather than a farmers’ party, evidenced by their occasional trip-ups on issues like coal seam gas.

Excuses and evasions on the ABC

Well for a start Henderson somehow believes Chris Harper was born an Atheist.

 "but there is no doubt he was an atheist with a hatred of organised religion. " 

 When in most circumstances and particularly in small town America it's more likely that Harper became an Athiest due to some negative experiences with organized religion.  Bolt got extremely excited when he heard that he was asking people  what religion they were before shooting them.

Bolt lead by innuendo when he first heard of Harper trying to suggest we were about to hear of yet another Islamic crime.  He'd hoped so desperately to add it to his meager collection of evidence to universally condemn the faith. It didn't happen and he didn't bother to mention it again.

 According to Henderson

 "few if any mass murderers in the US have evoked Christian religious utterances before engaging in massacres."

So whats evil is the ritual if a mass murderer prays silently for the success of his mission that's fine. Killing 4 million Muslims doing it is justified. How many million Indians did the Spanish kill in acts of conversion in their conquest of the Americas? However if  someone emits the prayer "god is great" loudly it's something else altogether an atrocity of the greatest proportion. I do believe the numbers speak for themselves. Collateral damage by Russia never exists only Americans are entitled to say sorry.

The stupidity of these two News Corp drones is highlighted by the words of the chairman of the Paramatta Mosque when both he and Shorten both agreed "if you don't like Australia then leave". They weren't just talking to Muslims but all  Australians, Bolt and Henderson included. The difference between them they don't Tribalize Australians unlike Bolt and Henderson who they say don't belong. It's what Abbott did with Team Australia. It's what Bolt does with Muslims daily because they all have an inherent pathology their faith Islam and it's cultural consequences. However couple that with the voice of Bolt's  cronies in News Corp

According to Bolt Muslims like the Indigenous have no right to feel angry or alienated nor do the youth in the poorest postcodes of Australia. According to them they all live in cultures that promote their disadvantaged conditions.

"immigrants or refugees – are entitled to all the benefits that Australia offers.  Including the rule of law, Medicare, free education and, if necessary, generous welfare provisions.  Muslim Australians enjoy a standard of living that is extremely high by world standards. Yet according to Monica Attard, Muslim Australians are entitled to feel alienated." Why, have Bolt or Henderson even tested how hard it is to access these services? Further just how much harder Abbott is trying to make it?

However Culture of Poverty, the Indigenous  and Islam just hackneyed excuses blaming the victims. It's an excuse to do nothing bu politicize them in order to hide the fact that the way we live creates the lack of opportunity to work get a proper education or housing. All these people have one thing in common that only the unions or an alternate government can can help with a common but alternative politic. Abbott failed to create jobs and his energy has been bent in destroying unions. The conditions of unemployment among youth were bad and among immigrant youth both first and second generation even worse. In no way was it in Abbott's interest to promote them as a common cause it was far better to promote their differences for political reasons and that is Bolt's craft de jour

 

 

Giving Ben Carson the clickbait treatment

Bolt is white washing Ben Carson for heavens sake. Why? Because he's Rupert Murdoch's favourite Republican Candidate at the moment.

Turnbull and Mufti finally speak. Or squeak

For Bolt Democracy is a one way street his way. What was said to Bolt and people like him if you don't like Australia just stop whinging your free to leave. Keep your extremism out of sight it has no place here. However it wasn't Bolt who said that it was the chairman of the Paramatta mosque

Bolt prefers Australia to be primarily mono-lingual, mono- religious, mono-sexual basically, basically mono and it's Bolt who calls out and judges  who should leave. However that's hardly what Bolt claims to stand for freedom of speech and beliefs. However he is the voice of hypocrisy. The Muslim leaders seem to accept that people can make that choice for themselves. Isn't that the freedom Bolt only talks about? It's always all about him never the rights of others. Democracy as a one way street.

The chairman of the Paramatta mosque was talking to his congregation yes but as Australians not as the citizens of the cultures they'd left. He was talking as Australians ought to be talked to  as individuals who can make up their own minds.  “Get out. We do not need scumbags in the community.” Andrew Bolt  on the other hand talks to and tribalises those individuals for him they are Muslim first Lebanese, Sudanese everything but Australian. He knows  he can't get them out but  he  sure as hell says they are not welcome and should never have been let in. However they to are Australians. So Andrew Bolt for all your whinging in the words of the chairman of the Paramatta mosque there's no lock on the door out.

However Bolt also has another message if you don't speak English as your first language there is something very wrong and suspicious. Your understanding of the world is limited. To most people Bolt is without doubt intellectually disadvantaged. Most of the most intelligent people throughout history didn't speak English Andrew Bolt.

 

Dominic Perrottet: in praise of Tony Abbott, who defied the pack

Is there a lie here? There certainly is 3 months before Abbott came to government Kevin Rudd commenced offshore processing and proposed the Malaysia solution. Boat arrivals plummeted. The Abbott opposition refused to pass the Malaysia solution because drownings actually were good politics. These ideas which were working to prevent the number of boat arrivals were never ever acknowledged by Abbott as the basis for him "stopping the boats" In other words Abbott didn't go against the grain he extended the policies already brought in by the ALP.  That's what's called transition which Bolt denies Turnbull and calls theft.

On Climate Change Abbott has made us the Apartheid Nation of the world. On the bottom of the ladder when it comes to good global citizenship  and now seen as little more than an economically self interested nation. Climate Change won't wait for us it will rebound. Instead of progressive we have become increasingly regressive and have even hamstrung Malcolm Turnbull.

Yes Abbott was disliked for "going against the grain" He appeared to everyone including his own party as also going against the interests of Australia merely for playing politics in the hope of being reelected. He came in screaming the economy, the economy. the economy and left saying he'd fixed it fixed it fixed it but purely trying to find political sideshows to avoid it all together. However enen this author contradicts Abbott. The budget wasn't fixed but only. Strange all other pundits are saying the a recession coming Abbott said he'd fixed that but DM says. " the budget on track for repair.  The country is the better for all that." 

Where's the grain???

 

 

 

 

A question of security

Shari Markson has just stolen, no plagiarized, the attack that Fox News and and the GOP Republicans have been running against Hilary Clinton.  Demeaning themselves because they have been not only caught out for constantly lying but omitting the fact that every security department have proved there was nothing suspicious to be found. If Markson ran this as a story in any  Journalism course she'd fail it's an attempt at a beat up not a story. She's the Media editor for the Australian for" Christ Sakes". This is obviously a religious attack on Markson by me.

"A spokeswoman for Mr Turnbull said last night: “The majority of government correspondence is routine and of a non-sensitive nature and is therefore not ­subject to sensitive security markings.” Markson

Same words from Clinton's camp.

"
Mr Turnbull’s non-governmental email account and server pose a security risk, exposing him to hacking and foreign ­surveillance. Use of private email ­addresses for classified com­muni­cations is prohibited by sec­urity rules…"
Same crap the Republican's are running
LAZY LAZY JOURNALISM could have been done by a computor who needs Markson on a cost benefit analysis?

 

We won’t discriminate, so Islam costs us all some freedom

" Islam is different to all other major faiths in explicitly endorse the subjugation and killing of non-believers. This poses a dilemma for multi-faith democracies such as ours which believe in non-discrimination and freedom of belief." 

Has Bolt for a single moment considered the numbers of natives killed in  the Americas by the Spanish in their act of kind conversion. Does he ask himself what religious ideology or faith didn't stop the killing of 4 million Muslims in recent years. Did he ever ask why Islam was adopted in so many countries without the spilling of blood but by MuFTA, the Arabic and Muslim Free Trade history. Why was the Dutch East India Company so despised by local native populations? Just look at the numbers and ask, why is it Sydney road Brunswick and Lakemba aren't awash with blood and the crime capitals of Australia? 

So Bolt has a very qualified and particular definition of Freedom of speech which really doesn't extend to freedom of faith or prayer in any geographic terms in schools neighbourhoods or countries as a matter of fact. Australia according to him needs to be a Muslim free zones.

"Why should peaceful Christians lose a freedom to worship just because Muslim groups cannot be trusted with it?"

" And so everyone loses free speech and some right to worship because Islam alone is unsafe."

"  Would you rather have the immigration or the freedom?"

Go back to the top of this post and have a look at the numbers and ask yourself what on earth Bolt's talking about? The USA land of the free has freedoms written into it's constitution yet it holds 20% of the worlds prisoners. Australia is the land of the free it has the worlds greatest incarceration of indigenous people. On any single social indicator is there any proof than Muslims are more dangerous than Christians in this country. Other than the "fear" taught by John Howard and increased ten fold by Tony Abbott for mere political gain with the assistance of professional vilifiers like Andrew Bolt and News Corp this is meant to be the most livable place in the world. What it does show just how calculating Abbott was  keeping the inciting of fear of Muslims a  domestic issue and tactic rather than making us visibly pariahs internationally. Why isn't Bolt heard globally in all of Murdoch's papers? However notice just how much Turnbull's poll ratings have dropped because of Andrew Bolt has pointed out how he's putting us all in danger. His poll rating is plummeting  now that he's not keeping us as safe as Tony Abbott did  and spent so much time telling us.

UPDATE

When the chairman of the Paramatta mosque can say if you don't like it here then leave it sounds far more democratic than when Andrew Bolt says it. Why because Andrew Bolt says it of a a whole community and the Imam says it of individuals all Australians. His statement is far more inclusive and speaks for us Australians one and all and allows individual freedom. Bolt doesn't your freedom is qualified by the rejection of others.

 

 

 

 

Where is Turnbull on Islam and terrorism? Where is the Mufti?

What we have is another long post by Bolt which turns out to be just emotive rant rather than a reasoned argument against Islam. He starts in excited fashion and even  leaves English behind. Bolt is meant to be a professional writer. If he can't pen English how does he expect to get any message across?

"Turnbull has virtually nothing about Farhad Jabar’s murder of Curtis Cheng since Saturday, when he (falsely) declared it was “politically motivated”, rather than religiously."

Children who have no point to to make tend to fall back on name calling which is exactly what Andrew Bolt does. The PM, Security forces , AFP, and police all refer to the "on going investigation "into the Paramatta shooting as a politically motivated crime under cutting Bolt's want to describe it as a clash of civilizations and a religious war. The PM has even avoided speculation by not fielding questions on what is still a matter under investigation. One thing he has done has thanked Australians for their unified help and assistance in the matter and their universal condemnation of it.

"Turnbull did mention the murder in an interview on 3AW on Tuesday, but only to again falsely claim the terrorism was “politically motivated” and Muslim leaders had shown “strong leadership” and been “loud” in condemning it:"

Bolt's just standing there like the emperor unclothed yelling liar liar pants on fire. It's not political but religious. Bolt shows his total ignorance that by claiming the words "God is Great" are of themselves both terrorist and religious. They are devout and are exclusive to Islam. The saying "God is Great" is not restricted to Islam is used in daily  by Christians ( Austrians), Hindus and Muslims not only when committing crimes or in an act of devotion. Jesus is screamed by Christians in any manners of situations.

Bolt's condemnation of Islam carries such underlying hatred it leaves me ashamed to be Australian. Whenever a crime is committed by a Catholic the IRA does Bolt  expect the Pope or Australia's Arch Bishops to stand up and condemn it? We live in a secular state for " Christ Sakes ", there is a separation of  Church and State. When the KKK went about hanging blacks the voices of white church elders weren't demanded to be heard. Crime is crime when church members commit a crime they interface with the state not the church.  For "Heavens Sake" murder even when confessed to a Catholic priest remains private and not in the public realm should the priest be charged? How is it Bolt demands  more from Muslims than he ever does from Christian elders. Furthermore just because Bolt demands  it  in the media certainly doesn't make it a valid demand. It's taken a Royal Commission to get George Pell to comment on his paedophile priests.

"But where are the leading imams of Australia on this issue? Where is the Grand Mufti of Australia? He’s said absolutely nothing since the murder. "  

Bolt seems to have found a Team Abbott supporter in Troy Grant who has taken the old Tony Abbott "them and us" line but then bigots do have the right to be bigots don't they. They just can't help themselves.

All this leads us to what Bolt is really on about the history of Australian immigration and the immigrant policies that have made Australia one of the unique settler nations of the world. Multicultural immigration should never have been allowed according to Bolt. It should be stopped here and now and strict assimilation policies put in place for those already here. While Bolt can't openly run white racist policy he can minimise the effects our rainbow policy by declaring Islam  too culturally different to enable successful immigrant assimilation to run smoothly. Even Waleed Aly  who might be a nice guy is dangerous and not truly Aussie according to Bolt. Islamophobia  deals perfectly with or offers the best possible solution to a 21rst Century  White Australia. 

UPDATE

The Grand Mufti and the President of the Paramatta Mosque have spoken out saying extremism of any sort has no place in Australia and if you don't like it here get out. They more than Bolt expressed the fact that Australians were free to believe in any faith and have the right to pray accordingly. I believe that's as clear an invitation as Bolt can get and maybe he should take their advice.

 Instead Bolt prefers to encourage members of ant-Muslim and hatred groups like the PDL to demonstrate outside  mosques and to let Muslims know they are not wanted. I know who I'd prefer as a neighbor and it's not Bolt given that attitude. The President of the Paramatta mosque is far, far more Democratic than the bigoted Dutchman from News Corpse. Senior members of the Islamic community pointed to the high degree of unemployed youth in the community which isn't a particularly Muslim problem but rather a class problem in a Capitalist society.  Job creation and unemployment never really handled well by Abbott. If migrants recognized their common problems with the Indigenous and unemployed and were united with the unions the unwanted isolation felt just might be alleviated. Their anger could then be directed far more precisely and turned into  political action on a more  united front across the country.
