Fighting Fake News with REAL; 21/11/21; LNP's Material Record; Dan Andrews looks over the horizon; Protesters look at themselves; Trump and Biden Economic Records

 

 May be an image of text that says 'For the record, Australia's economy was ranked as follows by the IAREM over the last 12 years: Labor take power GFC happens 2007: 9th 2008: 3rd 2009: 1st 2010: 4th 2011: 1st 2012: 1st 2013: 1st 2014: 3rd 2015: 9th 2016: 13th 2017: 18th 2018: 21st LIBERAL take power'

Me vs We brigade is organized and DEADLY. Demanding the right to fill our hospitals and die next winter. Meanwhile, Dan Andrews with 58 % of polled support is thinking ahead to prevent a Covid future from overtaking the limited resources of our universal health system.

European governments are taking a hard-line stance against anti-vaxxers as infection numbers surge to record levels in many countries and threaten to ruin Christmas. The continent has become the global epicentre of the pandemic at a time when families had been hoping to once again embrace holiday festivities, and one another. With infections spiking again despite nearly two years of restrictions, the health crisis is increasingly pitting citizen against citizen — the vaccinated against the unvaccinated. Governments desperate to shield overburdened healthcare systems are imposing rules that limit choices for the unvaccinated in the hope doing so will drive up rates of vaccination. Despite overwhelming medical evidence that vaccines protect against death or serious illness and slow the pandemic’s spread, opposition remains stubbornly strong among parts of the population. In the Netherlands, protests this weekend turned into riots and police opened fire on crowds when a demonstration turned into what Rotterdam’s mayor called an “an orgy of violence”.

 Clampdown on the unvaccinated as Europe becomes pandemic epicentre

 

By Jim McIntosh Of course, we always knew that Morrison is a liar.…

 But in the final analysis, things are different now. Scotty is damaged goods, and he’s becoming a liability to his own rag-tag party. The point being that if Morrison feels the need to call out and appeal to violent street thugs and extremists of the far right, then the damage is real. What about all his ‘quiet’ Australians, the ones he always claimed were behind him? So, even though I and many of us already knew the nature of the beast, what matters now is that if it’s good enough for the French President to come out and state the facts about this man, then it’s certainly good enough for me. And Morrison, meanwhile, becomes more and more an object of derision and clownishness.

Scott Morrison has moved on, apparently

 Demonstrators shout slogans and light flares during a demonstration.

 Reports from Germany, Austria and the Netherlands make it clear that the protests are organized by Far-Right groups that's something Australia's Mass Media seem reluctant to say. 95% of Victorians have voted by getting vaccinated. So why would that fact be something not headlined? Aren't we that exceptional or would that be yet another embarrassment for Morrison wh hasn't bothered to congratulate Dan or us. 

The EU riots are something not actually given priority that with the onset of winter there is a resurgence and 4th wave of Covid-19 happening. Dan Andrews has put Victoria in the best position with that 95% jabbed. His Pandemic Bill is preparing us for the winter ahead. The winter the EU, UK and USA are experiencing now. The Bill is the most transparent in the country. There's been a minimum of people who have lost their jobs for refusing vaccination, but boy, have some been given publicity to farcically make out that they are victims rather than that the people they worked with were the ones being put at greater risk.

It's no coincidence really that we have seen Peta Qredlin and Qraig Qelly and demonstrating in Victoria even thought they don't live or vote here. LNP MPs stand shoulder to shoulder with the Far- Right self-interested idiots, QAnon, Proud Boys, UPL, Nazis and others all who don't believe in Democracy but do expect they like to govern us. These demonstrators are the mirror, a reflection, a reminder of what Germany looked like before Hitler took over. Any innocents who find themselves a part of these fascist protests encouraged and enabled by Morrison and other LNP politicians saying what Trump did that "good people exist on both sides" need to really reconsider who it is they have joined by their association and presence with. It's not Public Health is it and they are very much a minority when 95% of Victorians have voted to be vaccinated

Tens of thousands of protesters, many from far-right groups, march in Austria and other European nations as COVID-19 restrictions tighten

  • The Austrian lockdown will start on Monday and last at least 10 days 
  • The government also will make vaccinations mandatory starting February 1
  • Protests also took place in Switzerland, Northern Ireland, Italy, Croatia and Guadeloupe

Protests erupt over COVID lockdown and vaccination rules across Europe

Protester can’t make it out to pub tonight because he’s protesting for freedom 

 

Trump's economic record is being 'soundly beaten' by Biden as economy bounces back: Forbes

Never forget Atlantic City the real reflection of Trump’s economic record. There’s his inheritance too blind Freddy would have over $12bn dollars after 40 years doing nothing. DJ Trump has $2.5bn and trail of blood and carnage in his wake.

Chuck Jones of Forbes reports that Trump was in the habit of boasting about economic gains during his administration, but now his records are being “soundly beaten” according to the S&P 500.

Angus Taylor's misleading claim on emissions

Fact Check zombie: Angus Taylor repeats misleading claim on carbon emissions yet again 

RMIT ABC Fact Check Posted

ZOMBIE ALERT! Energy Minister Angus Taylor has once again repeated a misleading claim on inheriting an "emissions deficit" from Labor. RMIT ABC Fact Check explains why it's misleading.

Fact check:. Emissions 'deficit'

Energy Minister Angus Taylor says the Coalition inherited a 755 million tonne emissions "deficit" when it came to office, and that it had since been turned around by 1.1 billion tonnes. Fact Check finds that to be misleading.

We have growing electricity demand, a coal exit or a policy ... to encourage renewable energy I can’t see it happening,” McConnell said.






Tristan Edis, from consultancy Green Energy Markets, earlier this year found clean energy would provide 35% of Australia’s total electricity needs within two years as solar power transformed the national energy market. But he said the pace was unlikely to continue as things stand. “We don’t see the economics of the energy market supporting significant levels of investment in large-scale wind and solar beyond this year without some sort of reward for greenhouse gas abatement.”

 Trump Wanted Ukraine’s President to Smear Biden on CNN

 Before agreeing to release nearly $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine, President Donald Trump extorted a promise from his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, to appear on American television and act out a script prepared for him by Trump’s aides, the top American diplomat in Ukraine, Bill Taylor, told the House impeachment inquiry on Tuesday.

Acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor testified to the House of Representatives as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump on Tuesday, and a release of his prepared remarks showed that he has blown the case against the president wide open.
While most of the damning evidence of Trump’s wrongdoing has been public for nearly a month now, Taylor’s account provides revealing details and confirms the most damaging inferences a reasonable observer would have had about the Ukraine scandal.
Here are seven key details in his remarks:

THE MONSTROUS SELF-PITY OF HARRY AND MEGHAN

COLUMN The monstrous self-pity of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, caught last weekend on TV, shows how close the royal family has come to self-imploding. Why are so few of the family worthy of being royals? And their defence via "close sources" - that they "singlehandedly" were "modernising" the royalty shows exactly their problem.
The absurd commentary of Andrew Bolt reveals itself here. Did Princess Margret destroy the Monarchy, Did Prince Andrew and Harry and Meghan won't either. Did all of these Royals hate the press and say so of course, they did. The press, including Bolt, have used them for the laziest form of profitable thoughtless press possible and Andrew Bolt proving it here and now. The press has scandalised the royals for-profit and other reasons throughout history the are camp followers.
However, should Meghan and Harry win their defamation cases, people like Bolt will be forced to think about what they write? Mordecai Bromberg brought Bolt to heel along with News Corp lawyers telling Bolt they wouldn't appeal. At the time we saw what " monstrous self-pity " was, and it's all that was heard from Andrew Bolt as nobody supported him.  Celebrities have recently been seen to fight back and despite the expense have won. The damage won't be to the Royals but the media.

OUR BIG RENEWABLES SPEND: NOT JUST POINTLESS AND PAINFUL, BUT UNINSPIRING 

So much money, so little effect, and no-one follows our lead: "Australia has spent 11 times the global average on renewable power .. Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, which represent about 1.3 per cent of the global total could start to fall from next year following a boom in wind and solar power investment to three times that of Germany." 

If Australians have spent 11 times the global average on renewables what's it to Andrew Bolt it's in the main private and not government spending and it largely to counter the price of electricity maintained by the government and power wholesalers.  Bolt's fretting about what his neighbours are doing what a wanker he is. The boom is in investment the side effect has been the lowering of emissions and the cost of electricity production. One wind turbine counters the emissions it creates in 6 months and has a life expectancy of emission-free energy production for 25 years at a production cost far less than coal. So if someone invests in renewables he's making a profit and if his source of energy is also renewables his cost of electricity is at an all-round PROFIT which cant be said for coal lover Bolt who claims that's uninspiring.
