How does coronavirus kill? Clinicians trace a ferocious rampage through the body, from brain to toes

Murdoch media are trivialising the reality of COVID-19 not just for political reasons really but for corporate  $$ and totally amoral ethics of Neoliberalism little or nothing to do with NEWS information but who has the money to pay? That's only 1% of the USA. 

James Murdoch has fought against this since his experience as head of Murdoch Media in the UK and their methods of operation publicly revealed. He's stood up against the families neoliberal method of operations after rather than being the head of a morally corrupt company.  His sister did much the same. He's now better positioned to do just that and like her strike a balance against a dad who wants to prove he can zombie control the organization from the grave with Lachlan the Onetel failure desperate to prove he's a winner and not James Packer. What are his chances after Trump fails? (ODT)

Liberal MP defends colleagues taking on medical experts over coronavirus

Government MP Andrew Laming has defended politicians' right to challenge medical advice if the debate is 'fact against fact,' after MP Craig Kelly claimed it was 'criminally negligent' to restrict an unproven COVID treatment touted by Donald Trump.

ROWAN DEAN

Coronavirus will continue its ‘slow march through’ while we ‘destroy the economy’

03/08/2020|6min

Sky News host Rowan Dean says there is a sad possibility the economy will be destroyed for nothing considering viruses like the coronavirus may be unbeatable. “History is going to look back on this, and it’s going to look back and be a very harsh judge,” Mr Dean told Sky News host Paul Murray. “On Outsiders we had a Swedish epidemiologist, one of the senior guys there, who said ‘you can not ever eliminate a virus’, mankind’s never done it, we haven’t done it yet. “It may all be for no purpose at all, that the economy will be destroyed, but the virus will carry on with its slow march through. “We might have destroyed the economy of Australia, we certainly destroyed the livelihoods of many many people in Victoria, and we’ll find out in a year or two whether it was the right strategy or a really idiotic strategy.” Image: AP

 Andrew Bolt certainly doesn't lead the debate to save the economy he's following in the footsteps of Rowan Dean and others probably his production team and obediently reading an autocue? These two  Murdochians show no consideration for any "common good". They have instead, a real neoliberal purpose to save an asymmetric social system that ensures one tribe only profits and the rest labours for far less than the value of their works. No greater is their mythologising and disguising of that system than taking care of the aged who have little value and therefore see their carers the least paid. Scott Morrison has had the opportunity for the past 6-7 years to do something to change the aged-care system and did nothing. The only profit flowing is to the owners of these privatised waiting rooms of death. The Institutions Morrison regulates demand immediate change not an ounce of deregulated further grace. They are beyond saving as they currently operate and Dan Andrews has shown leadership and taken control of a sector he's not responsible for to be blamed by these two wankers for Murdoch.

Dean presents a hypothetical that says let's do the minimum to save lives based on Sweden herd immunity approach that in terms of cases and deaths hasn't achieved any better success than surrounding countries. Its health outcome is worse and its economy is battered as well.

 Given the latest global research suggests there is no long term immunity to Covid-19 and therefore people can get it multiple times and that the long term effects show the virus damages the lungs, kidneys heart and brain of not only the aged is Dean right that we shouldn't panic and do far less about the illness and save the "economy"? Neither he nor Andrew Bolt raises these matters about what it is we are finding out about this illness they still regard it as a common cold from the safety of their privileged non-productive, unessential working stations.

Given that COVID-19 first revealed itself among the wealthy. The world travellers a minority group one might be tempted to say fine it won't spread. However, realising it does and rapidly and that it's effects aren't shared equally throughout society Dean is quite comfortable as a commentator. As a socially distanced and privileged commentator he's relaxed calling for others less able to distance to get back to the work his "economy" needs to function. Further given health professionals can't protect themselves and they are on the frontline Dean is largely asking the essential workers of Australia to bear the brunt and save his arse. Note he's not asking directors of Company boards to roll up their sleeves and join their workforce. He's not asking them to even donate funds to fight. 

Why is "the economy" so important to Dean to be saved rather than changed? He's not a productive member of it only a beneficiary what does he offer to the effort and the risk involved in "saving it"? When Dean's life, health or his families are in no way threatened when he's not leading by example why should he be even listened to?

We don't see Dean dropping his mike donning protective gear and rushing out to save the economy do we?How does coronavirus kill? Clinicians trace a ferocious rampage through the body, from brain to toes

Green hypocrites exposed by SA storm

"WOW, the hypocrisy. Check the global warmists now attacking Malcolm Turnbull for making “political points” about the weather. How the storm in South Australia has exposed them. No wonder they're freaking.  " Bolt

There is no end to Bolt's stupidity "
"Last week the Prime Minister pointed out South Australia had just lost its whole electricity supply in a storm despite having more wind power than anyone else." Bolt

Talk about missing the point , no avoiding the point for political reasons, Bolt simply ignores the fact that it wasn't a production problem it was a distribution, a transmission problem. SA had 2800 MW in storage . 2,800 MW that couldn't be delivered because 22 transmission towers were brought down by the storm yes an unprecedented storm. Bolt purposely avoids mentioning any of this why?

1)Because SA Meteorological Bureau scientists, are incompetant. 2) Because 22 towers just fell over a quantity which he doesn't even mention. Because despite the towers falling over according to Bolt power could be delivered. There is no mention of stored back of power is there! How much can Bolt avoid to talk about ? The answer ; as much as it takes! Because all his job is to produce doubt not investigate the truth.

"But these “cyclonic winds” didn’t reach even 100km/h in the affected areas. It seems the whole system may have tripped because a huge surge of coal-fired power had to be imported from Victoria to balance South Australia’s wildly gyrating wind power. Shorten knows this disaster could finally wake up voters to the insanity of his own promise to somehow source half of Australia’s electricity from wind, solar and dams in only 14 years." Bolt

 

 

Abbott's "reasonable" chance of being PM agai...

 

"TONY Abbott denies telling the truth. He denies saying he has a “reasonable chance” of becoming Prime Minister. But just the fact that he must deny it shows his chance of replacing Malcolm Turnbull is indeed reasonable." Bolt 

Abbott plays confirm or deny a lot he in fact has a history of it


 But Bolt is the author of this play:

Bolt is flipper and not he dolphin. Yesterday it was all about Abbott and his loyalty denying media reports that he said he had a reasonable chance of a comeback. Today the fact that he  denied it it proves he does have a chance. Has anyone else but Abbott said anything here? Other than Bolt of course. It's a bit of a set up isn't it. Like that Murdoch photo shoot where News Corp announced Abbott was invited to Atlanta by all of America's leaders when he wasn't. Murdoch took him for a photo shoot with the News Corp photographers present to create the illusion of Tony the Statesman being missed. Here we have Bolt doing a running commentary on an event beat up by a media suggestion of what was rumored to have been said then denied and believed by Bolt yesterday but flipped today.  That Tony having denied what he said has everyone shaking.  Conclusion Bolt is creating media BS before our eyes. Whose quaking we don't know!

BBC presenter sacked for being a white man

 

Freedom of choice doesn't exist at the BBC Bolt flips Sexism and Racism and  and reverses both for the duopoly of mythical creatures Reverse Sexism and Reverse Racism. neither of which exist. They are like saying I'm more indigenous than Pat Dodson or Marcia Langton. He was laughed at by a Constitutional Lawyer for his ignorance of the law and he's laughed at by Social science by his ignorance of the term Racism. Basically Bolt may have a thick hide but doesn't hide the fact he's ignorant.

 

On my shows tonight - Sam Newman

 Butthead Bolt has dumped Bevis Blair  and is sucking up soo hard to Rowan Dean why? Because Blair has already got a gig at Sky and Bolt sees him as a competitor rather than an ally. He was soo treacle over Miranda once that soured as well.  Bolt's a user it seems a fair weather friend but what a surprise. He needs Rowan the unmade bed Dean for his tawdry little  show.  Sam Newman just might become a regular too for obvious reasons.

Brandis in strife, accused of misleading Parl...

 

Brandis won't get anyhelp from Bolt who just sees him as just another Abbott traitor. Since his appointment Brandis has a history of having put his foot in his mouth. He tends to keep a very low profile and we came to know why very early in the piece. There was a matter of a bookcase way back when.... 

 

 

Adelaide, truly the Athens of the South

 

 How interesting Greg Sheridan comparing SA with Greece. When Greece asked for help it was turned down by the banks and refused a bail out. Now those successful economic geniuses  in particular  Deutsch Bank the biggest and then the hardest is begging for a bail out and Merkle is saying no! So will the bank threaten a 'bail in' rather than asking the taxpayers will they just steal their client's money?

SA is not in trouble for any other reason than they were the manufacturing state most effected by globalization. When asking for help Abbott said stuff you and dismantled the Auto Industry and all the other small bussiness that entailed. The conservatives do what comes naturally they create the victim and then blame the victim for the situation. Just as the banks created the debt in Greece lending and selling junk bonds to the government and then blaming Greece for being suckers. That's all Sheridan is doing and Bolt is of course nodding like noddyRothschild Doubles Down on Gold as Banking Collapse Begins, Germans Told to Stockpile Food/Water – Choice and Truth

Me and Ray

A mutual love fest between Haddley and Bolt built around how I do my thing from my perspective and nobody elses it's typical Andrew Bolt.  The one truth but his self deception that he got here as a combination of hard work and luck. 

A self confessed non gregarious introvert who admits he's not part of popular culture never has been and never will be and who has always been a failure at small talk the talk that binds.  The talk that cements families, friends and basically society together. Talk in fact the teaches kids to share and do so from an early age. Bolt is  a self admitted isolate who unfortunately is sure of his opinions and has been spoiled because he's  employed to write them simply because they extreme, conservative and fit the business model Rupert Murdoch's News Corp set up not because they are well informed or intelligent bur simply because they are right wing and contentious.

Bolt's self indulgent perspective says some commonsense and obvious things such as  kids aren't racist by nature of course they're not they are taught to be. It's a lesson learnt when constantly exposed to it both soft and hard. Bolt obviously hasn't a clue what happened to his aboriginal mate who he holds up as proof that he wasn't a racist. That may be so in Tarcoola but it isn't today. He has no idea what happened to Danny but what's more to the point he isn't that interested and is hardly likely to invite him home today . Bolt was born here but recognizes that he hasn't indulged in most forms of Australian popular culture yet he disparages multiculturalism demands stricter immigration laws ,assimilation policies and specifically ones that limit Muslims into the country. His ban would says some 35+ different enthnicities culturally diverse groups from Bosnians to Somalis  are non welcome simply on the basis of their faith that they are Muslim. Despite the fact that Muslims have been a part of Australian history and landscape for 200 years.

Bolt's cultural outlook narrow demanding Australia to be Judeo- Christian and European. He however claims he's agnostic however there is no such thing as an agnostic Muslim who will always remain suspect. Catholics were seen in the same light once by the Protestant power holders of this nation. Bolt reflects that today when he begrudges  the Pope's  influence over ideas that don't fit Bolt's narrow Conservative views. He's anti pluralist and does not celebrate  difference rails against the problems he says multiculturalism created. How is it 4 Australian cities are voted  amongst the most livable in the world?

 Despite Andrew Bolt's singular and divisive perspective of what's occurring in this country. He never even for a moment considers he might  be wrong. That in fact we are admired for being a mixed progressive and mongrel Culture. However our archaic social institutions haven't kept up with the changes that have occurred. How is it that  some $50 mill wages have been witheld from a generation aborigines for over 100 years and even the  governments of today are in a hurry to do something about it but would it seems prefer to brush it under the carpet. That one act alone prevented people from having bank accounts, saving and establishing  a credit record enabling them to get a loan and progress. Bolt has a simple explanation their culture held them back and it's their own fault. He simply refuses to understand the world from anyone elses shoes but his own and that's his but more so our greatest danger. Yes there are Andrew Bolt's among aborigines too single minded bigots who are held back by their narrow focus. However they are on a different pay scale from Bolt generally. They feel and know why they have been held and in most cases they are right that it's  the Andrew Bolt's of our world and their opinions that form our social and political structures..

 

China ticks off Turnbull. But media doesn’t care because he’s not Abbott

Link Guardian, The ABC, Troll Peter BH

Remember when Abbott was was appointed "pivot of the pacific" He gave up the 70 years of influence Radio Australia had in the region by cutting the ABC's budget by $200 mill. He in effect handed the Chinese control of the media in Fiji ,Vanuatu etc  on a plate. Abbott did nothing in the Pacific he believed his title was pillock not pivot of the Pacific. Even the Russian came sailing past laughing at him. The Chinese have dominated Australia not with military threats but commercial ones and it showed in Abbott's kow-towing. We however saw a gorilla when it came to the Ukraine and the Middle East. They were of no commercial concern and on the other side of the planet.

Our economy whether dependent on China or not is  or should be more robust than just mining and Turnbull has taken the opportunity to let the Chinese know that we don't do everything with hat in hand. Turnbull is certainly not the noisy defender of the Ukraine nor will he be  as gung ho as Abbott in wanting to send troops to the Middle East for the sole purpose of looking good at home. Abbott literally offended our nearest neighbour Indonesia who are now celebrating his removal and did nothing politically in the Pacific that wasn't commercial. China at least knows we are more than just commercial hand holders.

As for Troll Peter BH's belief the media were against Abbott in 2013 he produces an ABC report that's little more than the equivalent of a Hansard document recording the event it certainly wasn't the opinion piece that Peter BH makes it out to be. The ABC didn't mention a gaffe it did mention however mention China's warnings to Abbott to stay out of the area and he did. Abbott created his own gaffes to report them according to Bolt was bias. Hansard needs editing as well.New PM opens doors overseas

" If the UN welcomes you, time to check your bearings." Andrew Bolt

These are the words commonly heard from the mouths of fascists both on the  left and right. It's no surprise coming from Andrew Bolt an isolationist in a globalized world. UNHCR envoy coming to investigate our detention centers has cancelled his trip as Abbott put laws in place preventing anybody connected with our detention centers from speaking about them under threat of 2 years jail. Bolt advocate of free speech is silent.

 

 

 

 

Conservatives should not sell themselves so cheaply to Turnbull

Link Quadrant Australia's Conservative Magazine James Allan & Roger Franklin

How much posturing will we continue to hear from these dissatisfied  camp followers or losers of the Liberal party. Allan is  after media revenge trying to take the head off Niki Savva. Any wonder some believe there's a civil war being conducted on the right. Bolt is declaring himself to be a true individualist Liberal the sort that Abbott forced to tow the line when leader and shut up if they disagreed.

 Bolt the braggart talks as if he's an alpha male and could start an opposition Consevative Party and  split the now wayward Liberals with the snap of his fingers. However even the disenchanted  Abbott wouldn't join him. Bolt in fact is a limp dick with a voice, the opposite of Abbott , and not the alpha male that would inspire anyone. Allan and Bolt represent the unrealistic chorus of losers that claim to be the dissatisfied souls of a days gone by era who will lunch and  in fact do nothing. Another of their group isHalal Linked To Terrorism By Complex Series Of Imaginary Connections In Cory Bernardi’s Head, Enquiry Finds

 Bolt will do Murdoch's bidding behind the scenes rather than his own. He will try to push Turnbull to and early election and as such is laying the ground to be his critic and to have Morrison step up for Rupert. Just wait for Bolt to lavish praise on the man he called a traitor.

 

Obama challenges the ideological thugs of the Left

Link The Hill

Bolt tells us all our cultural and social institutions have largely been taken over by the left. Arts , Law, Health, Education etc why? Largely because they promote a form of critical thinking and that offends Bolt's conservative sensibilities. Like Abbott Bolt wants to know and see "whose side  you're on?". We all need to be more assimilated. The ideal society being The Trueman Show.

Bolt would have all our institutions monitored by conservative boards sympathetic to  not the government of the day but to conservative governments only. Free speech yes but with ideology being uniform rather than diverse. It's best monitored like the Art's when the purse strings were given to  George Brandis. If deemed inappropriate  simply cut their funding.

 It's in an atmosphere of limited boundaries that speech is free for Bolt. Journalism courses need to eliminate the teaching of critical thought. Comedy and humor needs to be directed at those against  government rather than at  government. The Festival of Dangerous Thoughts monitored needs parameters or funding cut. Bolt talks freedom but walks cultural censorship and education.  Learning in education is too random but  training is the right form of education. It's why Bolt isn't a journalist. It appears after being kicked out of university never was a journalist.
