AUSTRALIAN WATER SHOULD NOT BE FOR SALE

 

More than 250,000 virus jabs have been administered in Australia so far, a long way off the four million Prime Minister Scott Morrison said would be complete by the end of March.

Doctors critical of the Government's mismanagement are being threatened with criminal charges and loss of license.  Remember how critical Morrison was about the Chinese silencing any negative or critical comments about Wuhan labs. It seems this government is acting in much the same way and turning Chinese.

Morrison was almost 3.75 million doses short on the vaccinations  he announced and promised a reminder of his inner Trump. Promise the world as if it were done and dusted but deliver nothing.

 It rained so he fled to that as a marvelous excuse but never climate change just freakish Noah like rains. To Nova Castrians it must seem that it's raining Australia wide. However, the truth in case Morrison says it is, it's not but it is an extreme once in a 100 year weather event in NSW and it's going to continue to fall until the week's end.

According to Andrew Bolt the March4Justice made women look weak. What does that do to protestor extraordinaire Andrew Bolt who protests just about everything from Multiculturalism, Indigenous Australians, Muslims , Africans, Feminists, and portrays white Christian men and Western culture as victims. However he never really considers himself as "weak" only "others" are and all in all they tend to be the majority making Bolt the never ending whinging exception who is rarely seen out in public and has an exceptional amount of security for a strong man

FAKE FACTS AND BULLSIT EXPOSED 

Lets start with the fact that Andrew Bolt seems to have been avoiding writing or pontificating about anything current in Australia. Anything but  has been, his agenda why would that be? Distraction and deflection, "hey look over there nothing to see here" has been his shtick. It's all in the duty. Gaslighting us and not focusing on what a disaster the LNP's politicking has been Federally in WA ,Victoria and across the country. So the best Bolt can offer is to drag our attention away and distract us. He's certainly not the brightest star in Murdoch's Sky that's for sure.

 

There is a ‘new tyranny’ in Joe Biden’s America

Dr Martin Luther King would be “horrified by the America of today” which practices the “crudest most basic form of Marxism” by dividing people based on colour, according to Sky News host Rowan Dean. “Martin Luther King would be horrified by the America of today, not only because he fought against the very things that are happening, but because he literally did dream of an America which racial differences, sexual differences, tribal differences of any sort, were literally invisible,” Mr Dean said. Mr Dean said the United States and the rest of the western world has departed from the pursuit of what Dr King described as “the brotherhood of man”. “Martin Luther King was very specific in how to achieve that dream, and that was by focusing on character,” he said. “Character must triumph everything, character is ahead of any other definition, so judge every individual by their moral character, their merit as a person”. Mr Dean said the current wave of segregation which sees universities holding different graduation ceremonies based on ethnicity and race, is the “crudest most basic form of Marxism”. “Dividing people into different groups so you can control them, and rule over them,” he said. “This is what we’re seeing the new tyranny where you must belong to that tribe, and it goes right to the top.” 

Rowan Dean is what he is an ad man, sideshow spruiker, editor of The Spectator turned ambitious wannabe in Murdoch's night sky. Once Dean image was the unmade bed the thinker too involved to worry about his appearance. Haven't times changed today suit and tie and the Knuckle Head haircut that represents a with it man going places with his finger on the pulse. He's still a faster ad libber than Andrew Bolt who has to read his monologues and introductions and needs help if he tries not to. Andrew Bolt needs Dean in order to have a semblance of a show and a reason to still exist. Dean's problem however, while he's a talking head, it's usually about subjects neither he nor Bolt have a clue on. In this case without naming it it's black racism or protest the new but non existent "reverse racism". If it's woke it's the reverse of what's being argued.

 Martin Luther King had a dream about equality a nation in a nation where reality was the very reverse of it. Like Gandhi he wanted to change it and to do it peacefully. America had to want to change. He marched from Selma to Montgomery as did Gandhi marching in protest. But America didn't want to change and killed him. Today it still remains the very reverse of King's Dream. Trump and the Republicans reflect the determination to resist any change to white privilege and power. Rather their intent is to suppress votes and cement that power and as a consequence politics dominates the Republican agenda rather than any service to the nation. maintain it. Rowan Dean's right for the wrong reason Martin Luther King would be horrified that his dream is still the Republican's nightmare and like Ground Hog Day he'd continue to be shot day in day out. Bolt and Dean attempt to re-frame protest as the reverse of what it is. However BLM isn't reverse racism, women's march 4 Justice isn't misandry and so forth. There is no such thing as reverse racism it's righteous anger and Martin Luther King was filled with it as he saw the systemic features of what still  exists.

Marxism doesn't deal in dreams only economic reality something Rowen Dean  and Andrew Bolt ignore. They are culture warriors and don't like to amplify the obvious system of relationships between men that insures the ever  growing wealth and income gap. Religion, Race and all the cultural aspects like character and psyche are a consequence of free choice we as individuals make. Any notion of class and collectives determined by our material relationship to each other needs to be blurred and fought.

 Marxism and King had the same dream of equality.Bolt and Dean need to distract us from such stupid notions. King believed protest would change social reality for the better because America after all was a Democracy and people were by nature good and could be convinced to change what had gone astray. Marx believed history would inevitably bring about that change for the better because the contradiction in human relationships would be ironed out. Bolt can't articulate arguments as fast as Rowan Dean the trained ad man and the fastest lip in Murdoch's stable wh needs to be tag teamed with Bolt to fill what could otherwise become dead air.  It's space Bolt can't fill alone and needs a partner to tag.

Cutting to the chase neither of them had the balls to take the March 4 Justice head on so they turned to whiteanting the women as Woke, Socialists and Misandrists or men-haters. Showing Nicolle Flint as the properly behaved woman attacked by Labor Lefties when it didn't happen. Flint was stalked by what seems a single person of unknown origin and politics.  

 Question, has Bolt ever been called in as a stop gap for Dean's Outsiders?Has he been called on by anyone at Sky to even discuss politics on an election night?

 

Meghan Markle ‘won’t be happy until she brings down the Royal Family’

Liberal Party Vice President Teena McQueen says the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview with Oprah Winfrey was “disgraceful” as it was all about Meghan. “To watch that interview and watch Harry distraught because he was cut off financially at 37, I mean the whole thing is really dismissed in London but is sadly getting a little traction in the States,” she told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “It’s all about Meghan, I don’t think she’ll be happy until she brings down the Royal Family.” Ms McQueen said when Meghan Markle “lands a big movie role she’ll probably forget about the Royal Family and Harry” as she leads him away from his family. 

Talk about " he said, she said" Bolt is little more than a wordless traffic warden for everyone else but himself.  He's little more than the doorman for the collection of views of other right wingers. He an intro an abstract. The interview with Oprah was largely about the Royals as a collective, a system, an institution into which Harry was born and in which  he and his family were trapped. He as an individual wanted out why? Because he was no longer alone he was a father and a husband and when he applied for his ticket of leave he was told he could go and jump. He could resign but without any superannuation, holiday pay accumulated sick leave or any benefits accorded him for his length of service. Harry was a black a runaway slave who could go and fuck himself.

 Andrew Bolt and News Corp are all putting their boots in for little more than a sheckle because supporting Harry and Meghan can't be milked for as long as the Royals can. However, if the same were to happen to Bolt he'd be there knocking on the doors with his lawyers.

HARRY AND MEGHAN BETRAY AGAIN

Runaway royals Harry and Meghan claim to be “compassion in action”, but have proved again they are untrustworthy backstabbers. How dare they now leak news of Harry’s private phone calls with his father and brother?

Andrew Bolt reveals himself to be writer of renown remembered like those Wakley Award winners of  the Women's Weekly, The People, Who, and The Truth, that once Melbourne Tabloid now defunct bought for it's racing form guide. Here he is offering a double shellacking of Harry, Meghan and China pretending it's thoughtful work on his part.

Seriously a double betrayal by serial betrayers. Royalty turning back on his birthright and family for reasons needing an explanation. The son like his mother reveals what we commoners call the "truth" to save his children from the same ordeal he and his mother suffered. It seems its not just a one off experience.

One thing is for sure Piers Morgan ran to the Arms of Murdoch. Whose arms should Bolt run to to find understanding? Family breakdown, remember when Andrew Bolt told the world he was the victim in his family. He's only breadwinner expected to carry them all on his shoulders alone. He certainly has the IQ of an ox. He calls protesters Woke and those protested against the real victims. Well guess we need to feel sorry for his wife and kids for suffering the asshole.

 

 

If there is a regional war ‘it will impact every aspect of this nation’

If a war between China and the United States occurred over Taiwan, Australia would be "fundamentally collateral damage," according to Liberal Senator Jim Molan. “I don’t believe the Chinese would attack us without American involvement in this somehow,” Mr Molan told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “But, if a war between China and Taiwan caused a war between China and the US, then as collateral damage we could be directly attacked”. “That’s what we in Australia should prepare ourselves for. “Now, that war could occur like that, it could occur fast and therefore we won’t be able to get there. “But if it develops slowly and we deploy forces with the Americans into the region in order to deter China from doing something silly, but they still do it, we could suffer significant losses.” "A war between China and Taiwan, involving the US, is not just going to politely end by the end of the week". "If there is a regional war, it will impact every aspect of this nation, and every Australian and we've got to start realising that," Mr Molan said. 

Does anyone get the feeling Bolt has been an echo beating the same drum he has for the past two weeks? Appearing busy but doing nothing but repeating himself?

 He's a man of the time isn't he? Unfortunately that's the Nineteen Fifties, the Cold War era, the Domino Effect, Reds under our beds and political fearmongering that offered no service to advancing Australia other than by sending us to war and maintaining a Liberal Government in power for 20 years. Until a Labour Government was voted in and liberated the nation time had stood still and atrophy that had set in. Jim Molan the Butcher of Fallujah or somewhere in Iraq has been recruited to help Bolt repeat what he he said last week. Molan the LNP's embarrassment is given a chance to preach war and is loving it. Why is it the LNP has a history of sending us to war losing them and leaving the ALP to clean up their mess?

The problem with their argument China hasn't the army the budget, capacity or history to do what Bolt suggests it will. It's land army is in fact smaller than America's as over 30% is there for domestic infrastructure use it's military hardware is 20% of America's and its  future focus has been on its investment in the Belt Road Initiative not billions of dollars  discarded for war. The Chinese are planners the US are the spontaneous invaders with a war economy.

We must start asking ourselves if ‘Australia is ready for war’: Andrew Bolt

Every week the warnings “get more urgent,” and we must start asking ourselves if Australia is “ready for war,” according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “Maybe I am being alarmist, or maybe I am alarmed – just like some very senior defence people in the United States,” Mr Bolt said. “I’ve said for some time now, we’ve got to take seriously what China is saying and doing”. “I’ve said for some time now, listen to Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.” Mr Bolt said the Chinese president has been “ramping up China’s aggression” and “hyper nationalism”. President Xi has “repeatedly” warned his army to prepare for war – “presumably war with Taiwan and any country that tries to defend it”. Chinese Defence Minister Wei Fenghe also recently stated China must “comprehensively improve” military training and preparedness for battle because the “great rejuvenation” of the Chinese nation is at a “critical stage”. Mr Bolt said most Australians “probably don’t pay any attention” to this, but the US defence establishment is “pushing the alarm button”. “Look how vulnerable we are, we are so dependent on China – our biggest trading partner,” he said. “Maybe there will be no war, that’s probably more likely. But if there is one, we are in so much trouble.” 

 Yes a repeat here and a carbon copy of last week. Bolt offered nothing then offered nothing then and he's offering nothing now. His material fact "some senior defense people" who are  never named "said". The only aggressor when history is examined and done is the US. It has basis in 150 countries many unwanted by the nations they occupy. It's military and hardware are twice that of Russia and China's combined and China and US are about to meet to try iron out the problems  caused by Trump's politicking. Bolt is old right winger telling us to be scared, be scared with his usual last minute one liner and get out clause saying “Maybe there will be no war, that’s probably more likely." It's his parachute to say "I didn't say that" should he be called out. What a dickhead churning old work to fill space save a job and a reputation so so so low.

 

CHINA MEANS WAR. BUT ARE WE READY?

China looks ready to start a war as soon as 2027 — possibly a world war, and just to our north. American strategists warn that war games show the US would lose. Do Australia look at all ready to fight?  

Did I say he repeats himself over and over and over again. An Australian propagandist wants war but remember his last word above! " Maybe there will be no war that's probably more likely" but he wants you to believe otherwise. "Reds under our beds is back" Remember Abbott wanted us in NATO

FUELING ANTI-ASIAN VIOLENCE: AMERICAN CHINA PARANOIA

Soon will Bolt will be arguing we must arm ourselves and STAND BY. He is an enabler!

Money Rules

 

Why is this all happening? Our gutless Government is owned lock stock and barrel by conservative media. Our monopoly mainstream media is jousting with the monopoly social media platforms to gouge whatever they can out of each others’ revenue streams. Without the backing of monopoly level conservative media our current Government would have been chucked out long ago. So no surprise that the Coalition is sucking up to Murdoch. Bit trite for our Government to argue on behalf of Murdoch et al about how their revenue streams are being ripped off by the larger social media platforms, when that same Government is flaying the revenue streams of the ABC.

 FAKE NEWS EXPOSED

 Bolt had a week of rape mayhem and disaster to report on but couldn't so he had to opt to promote distraction instead

WHY DID THE ABC PAY A FAR-LEFT RIOTER, THEN BLAME THE RIGHT?

The ABC paid $2500 to a left-wing agitator who'd stormed the US Capitol, smashed a window, confronted police, shouted he had a knife, and urged the mob to "burn this s..t down", filming as he went. The ABC then blamed the violence entirely on the "far-Right", even after he'd been charged. Why?

We saw the riot on Capitol Hill. We heard Fox News try to suggest it was an ANTIFA run false flag to but the blame on the Right-Wing. The Militia's came prepared with guns knives and UIDs and 5 people died.  So what is Bolt doing trying to distract us from what we know?  As usual it's mud slinging the ABC with what he calling "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" Unfortunately the trend for fake news is fully concentrated at News Corp and the LNP is ensuring it stays concentrated there because they have a working partnership to influence. The bullshit is not diffused and watered down as it is on Facebook and they don't want there power weakened.

What "original" news does Murdoch's fake news generator News Corp and Sky actually generate? They are a Churnalist organisation at best having sacked so many of their journalists because of cost. News Corp is largely a paid and subsidized LNP influencer nothing more or nothing less and in an election year the LNP is dancing to Murdoch's will. Bolt is Murdoch's marionette. All week really he's had nothing to do because Morrison in his typical form has been a disaster happening before our eyes. He's been concentrating on self-promotion rather than leading. 

Bolt has obediently stayed "shtum". When that became too embarassing he's turned to it's distraction yelling "Hey look over there"

 

 

MARK ZUCKERBERG’S FACEBOOK NOW DICTATES GLOBAL WARMING BELIEFS

First Facebook censored conservatives.  Then it censored news unhelpful to Democrat Joe Biden. Then it censored Donald Trump. Then it censored an Australian politician who quoted scientific studies.. Then it censored Australia. Now it wants to police thought on global warming. And it's started by pushing alarmist claims. Facebook is a menace.

 Firstly Global Warming is a conclusion born out of Science a sceptic and on going methodology for understanding the physical world in which we live. It's not simply a faith nor a religion born out of self-interest. Beliefs tend rather to be non substantiated untested or discarded and out of date assumptions about what is occurring posited by contrarians for purposes other than a search for knowledge and understanding. Meteorology has improved because of the the application of science. Climate science has likewise improved about our understanding of the planet and has moved way beyond Bolt's misplaced "beliefs" based purely on interest. So much so Bolt is today's equivalent of a "flat earther" holding on to the religious belief the planet is cooling or if warming it has nothing to do with us so we need do nothing.

Facebook has upstaged Murdoch Media's selling of contrarian "belief" and Bolt's obediently whining. Firstly Facebook didn't censor Conservatives. It censored promoters of Domestic Terrorism and Violence because of increasing public pressure to do so.  "Standby and Stand-back" "be prepared" Trump's call was being activated. 

The extreme right-wingers aren't Conservatives nor is Andrew Bolt racist, misogynist white Christian supremacist. He doesn't even work for a Liberal/Conservative organization. He works for News Corp selling a specific right-wing message and enabling danger. The unnamed politician censored for fake and dangerous news and information  was Craig Kelly who was even censored by his own party as was a politician by the Victorian branch of the LNP. So there's been a lot of censorious activity going on but all on the behest of the LNP by the LNP.

 By the way Bolt quotes "science" but withholds the names of those he's quoting. Roy Spencer is a regular so often used an abused by Bolt you'd think Spencer would call out rape. Spencer obviously doesn't give a shit about Andrew who? However Andrew Bolt seems embarrassed to acknowledge Spencer  who no longer even has the Standing Christy has among the heavy hitting Climate Deniers in what was the Trump Administration. Bolt's claim that Facebook is behind all of this and wants to police "global warming deniers" is absurd besides they are a private organization and as Bolt has always said are free to do what they want in the market. Free to do what Andrew Bolt maintains he's free to do.

Facebook has chosen to withhold Bolt's and News Corps "fake news and opinions" from their platform they are entitled to. Fake News is the only "original" information News Corp runs and Facebook has said "Cool we'll fix that" but that's the only thing that's cool not the planet. 

Yes, on any other day Bolt's argument would be that Facebook is a Private Company as is News Corp  and the Bolt principle is that Private Companies can do what they want in a free market, Oops! Apparently Bolt's hypocritically happy with the government's censorship of Facebook.

The ABC  however can't according to Bolt. It can't be allowed to be either free original or question the government because that carries with it what Bolt regards as a left-wing bias. In fact diversity of opinion and political scepticism is fundamentally a left-wing activity. Andrew Bolt runs and works for the very censorious Murdoch Corp where everything editorially determined and certainly not algorithmically based like Facebook who who service a far more general and diverse agenda.To be fair to Australia and Democracy we need the ABC, an Independent Statutory Body, that ensures a trend to Real News and information. By and large if the ABC were a  digital hub on offer to us rather than Bolt's Fake  products being pitched for which he demands freedom from regulation. Regulation he wants of others like Facebook and the ABC. That freedom he demands be denied and reduced to others. 

The fascist trend Murdoch the LNP and the IPA are aiming for is not for the good of the country or Democracy.

 The  Kevin Rudd experience is REAL and needs to be Stopped 500,000 signatures demand it. That's far more than Andrew Bolt's ratings but less than the power of Murdoch.
