THE BETRAYAL AND ASSASSINATION OF ROGER SCRUTON

An important piece from Douglas Murray: "The hit job on Sir Roger [Scuton] can be seen as a classic of the genre: he was sacked within five hours of the Twitter storm breaking. His fate offers a perfect case study in the art of modern character assassination. Except that in this instance, it unravelled." Note the cowardice of the May Government.

 Their instincts are right. Our world is replete with complex matters that need discussing. We need philosophers, thinkers and even politicians of courage to help us find our way through this. We live in the age of character assassination. What we now desperately need is a counter-revolution based on the importance of individuals over mobs, the primacy of truth over offence, and the necessity of free-thought over this bland, dumb and ill-conceived uniformity.

Let us compare Bolt to what's being said here:

 1) Ours is a complex and diverse nation, and we need the diversity of thought and ideas to find our way through it. Andrew Bolt, however, works for an organisation that eschews the variety of thinking not just in Australia but the English speaking world. He actually attacks Scientists Academics and the very institutions we have that encourage the difference of opinion. No safe schools or Institutions for Andrew Bolt.

2) We live in the age of character assassination. Yes, we do, and News Corp enables Andrew Bolt to do just that. He, along with his ilk, drove Yassmin Abdel-Magied out of the country a 28-year-old with more to offer Australia skill wise than Andrew Bolt ever has. She is far better educated than Bolt. An engineer, author Yassmin was more productive in her short years than Andrew Bolt has been over his entire 60 years, and she was a role model for young women today. Bolt along with his other media mates tore her down because she was, a woman, a Muslim, an African migrant who spoke up loudly. She spoke of a different truth often covered up and not allowed. She actually represented the real Australia unwanted by Bolsters.

3) Bolt talks of the importance of individuals but in fact denies their existence with his anti-multicultural stance with his insistence on Assimilation that breeds little more than a uniformity of thought the very opposite of multiculturalism. Schools need to be training grounds of single-minded thinking formatted like The Bolt Report unlike Q&A and The Drum speaking the language and ideas of a minority rather than providing a platform for the diverse and complex majority of individual Australians.  Bolt prefers, no demands, a great colonial glorious myth to be made of our history rather than the truth and reality of an inglorious past. Because that truth just might be a driving force for change. He really does reveal his stupidity when he maintains he's and indigenous Australian more than Adam Goodes or Stan Grant.

4) Has anybody realised Bolt doesn't debate he preaches? He hides behind closed doors and doesn't invite debate the very opposite of the above statement. Andrew Bolt pretends he's an individual when he's very opposite the voice of a class to which he, in fact, doesn't belong just their well-paid lackey. A millionaire maybe but a tool nevertheless of billionaires who will be discarded for another tool for the job. Bolt is hoping no doubt that will be one of his sons. Nepotism isn't a world where you will find individuals and free thinkers is it? If Bolt really supported individual thinkers, he'd have helped Yassmin wouldn't he over say, George Pell? He'd be pleased to hear Waleed Aly's voice of reason rather than his emotional and irrational obsession to destroy him. 
5) As for Roger Scruton and Douglas Murray' defence Twitter didn't sack Scruton the divided government did and which in the UK appears to be as divided as ours is here. However, the power of the modern outrage in Australia isn't to be found on Twitter. It's to be found in the pages of the Murdoch Media Sky News behemoth. The corporatisation of our news, information and opinions in the hands of so few players all fighting for the wealth profit and power in the hands of only 1% of Australians. Coupled with the single-minded effort to diminish the voice of the ABC our public broadcaster who today has been left operating of the same budget it had in 1984 cut by the LNP by $395 million in the past 5 years. In the course of events conservatives are very rarely the victims of a mob other than their own.

  For Christ’s sake! Why do liberals get tongue-tied when discussing the world’s largest religion?

  Sri Lanka is a country with no real history of Muslim-Christian tension. It is a country that has seen enormous bloodshed, but throughout its 25-year civil war, neither of these groups were the protagonists. As the violence flowed thickly between the Sinhalese Buddhist majority and the mostly Hindu Tamil minority, Muslims and Christians occupied a remarkably apolitical place. 
   It’s for this reason that the claims of Islamic State involvement are so believable. For all the limits to what we know about this attack, the element of foreign interference is the single idea that does make sense.
   Waleed Aly
  
   Did Andrew Bolt steal and plagiarise his editorial when he attacked the Greens Leader Robert di Natale after SriLanka? How stupid and petty is this and his effort to make political points? Christians or Muslims don't talk about themselves in 3rd person terms. Muslims offered their condolences to Christians publicly in Sri Lanka. Christians just offered their condolences publicly in Christchurch. But right-wing morons like Bolt want to create a divide where in Sri Lanka there was none until media like Sky News broadcast live the shooting in Christchurch to the world for 17 minutes before they were cut off. Now that's the way to stir things up are they the doppelganger of ISIS media trying to just that, to stir things up?

   Is Andrew Bolt their Australian voice? The voice of the extreme right-wing amplifying a  division that wasn't really there? Is he a recruiter of violence not just Christian or Muslim he really doesn't seem to care as long as there is violence and extreme division somewhere between these two religions he will tell you about it. He's even been known to broadcast a call to fight and when authorities deny the issue is a religious one Bolt will insist the authorities are conspiratorial liars hiding the fact. When will he be charged? (ODT)

  
  

  Following Sri Lanka’s Easter tragedy, high-ranking Democrats engaged in a game of semantics gymnastics, dancing around the name of ‘Christians’. Republicans took it as proof of democratic enmity to Christianity.

  TURNBULL WOULD HAVE BEEN TOAST. MORRISON GIVES HOPE

  The first two weeks of the election campaign were just a rehearsal, given the interruptions of Easter and Anzac Day and the fact that voters weren't yet much engaged. But one thing is already clear: Scott Morrison is dragging the Liberals back into contention with an energy Malcolm Turnbull never had, and fighting on issues Turnbull couldn't.

  PAYWALL

  Unable to find anything to specifically support the Liberals News Corp has to turn to bagging out someone who no longer has skin in the game. Malcolm Turnbull ordinary Australian citizen entitled to his opinion like any other. Is this the only means by which to make Ad-man Scott Morrison seem polished?

  The Party Morrison now calls United is made of names like  Corman, Hunt, Dutton, Taylor a bunch ready to attack each other at the drop of a hat. Whereas the ALP having learnt from its past stand behind Shorten as a united front something the Herald Sun or any News Corp publication can't pretend doesn't exist. Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison now that was a disaster in the making. Does Australia want to return to that?

MORRISON NEEDS TO FIGHT FOR SOMETHING

The polls today were bad and a warning to Scott Morrison: the longer he waits to show what he's fighting for, the sooner voters will think he's more smile than substance. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

1h
Bolt says Morrison needs this respect!!! For News Corp and the IP to fully endorse him. Currently, they are trying to attach the strings.

He'd drop like a lead zeppelin if he took on Abbott's policies of more cuts to the ABC, more cuts to education and health. These were all disguised as reverse promises in the lead up to Abbott's win. Bolt no doubt supports the tactic that Trump took to a win lie your heart out. As long as you know Murdoch media and the IPA support you, you can promise anything and that's why Bolt challenges Morrison the Pentecostalism to lie like a Catholic. Australia well is secondary in all of this except in paying for it all and Australia, in this case, is not the economic elite. Politics is reduced to a game within a game that Australians and the ALP have been forced to watch at their expense.
The reality Turnbull was not only the most preferred but also the most likely to win the next election for the Libs and guaranteed it wasn't Abbott given the vote against him in Warringah recently. 

 The ‘Foxification’ of Australian politics hasn't left us.

How the right-wing media have given a megaphone to reactionary ...

MORRISON DOES A TRUMP ON ISRAEL. GOOD

Good move, even if the Prime Minister is desperately pandering to Jewish voters in Wentworth: "Mr Morrison said he had been persuaded to consider the issue of moving Australia’s mission to Jerusalem...  following discussions with the Liberal Party’s candidate in this weekend’s Wentworth by-election, Dave Sharma." But only "consider"? 

11m
" Good move, even if the Prime Minister is desperately pandering to Jewish voters in Wentworth: " Bolt
Never mind the 10-year blockade of Gaza and the world's largest open-air concentration camp. Forget the mass slaughter of Palestinians 208 dead thousands on thousands wounded by sniper bullets. The targeting by Israeli snipers of medics and press and the withholding of medical equipment and medicines from Gazan hospitals it's Australian votes that count not human rights but the political game that counts.
"And why does Morrison say he's only "consider" the move? Both desperate and tentative?" Bolt
Even Bolt doesn't trust politicians on the center-Right However he shows just how unimportant people are in what he calls the game of politics where Trump is his king by example and death just a little collateral damage a natural part of the exercise.
One needs to note all this talk of West Jerusalem avoids mentioning what Israel has done in the occupied East.
The problem Sharma faces is that not all the Jews in Wentworth support the State of Israel.
And shame on Labor: Bolt
For what saying what even Bolt admits it's a ploy simply to hold onto Wentworth where even Labor fails out of conscience to go. It certainly highlights the difference between the two parties.
You have to laugh Bolt is trying to grab the credit for this ploy.
Well, it shows these ultra-right media spruikers haven't a taste for Trump withholding weapons from the Saudis either intentionally avoiding the issue and doing a Trump calling murder an act of unknown rogues and not in anyway ordered by the good prince. Not a peep as that might discredit Trump and the daily bullshit he offers. No rather the opposite. Remember when Bolt called him an idiot 12/10/16
Bolt's worried that the Ruddock Report leaked and yet to be released has the Liberals concerned
 Liberals and they “have to be a bit worried” after the leaking of a religious freedom report which moves for schools to be upfront about their policy on gay students and staff.
A report which Andrew says “has made the government look like a pack of bigots”.
“Particularly when the seat of Wentworth… has, what I’m told, the highest proportion of gays in the country.” Mind you Bolt insists he's not a bigot despite being against safe schools and for the teaching of Christian values and the right family structures and role models in government schools. He has only overheard the Wentworth demographic and "he believes it".

LET THAT GANG-RAPIST STAY!

British passengers on a plane revolt to stop the deportation of a Somali: "One traveller complained: ‘They’re separating him from his family’, while others chanted ‘take him off the plane’ … One person was heard declaring: ‘You’re free, man!’" None bother to learn why he's being deported: he's a gang rapist whose mate fought for the Islamic State.

Amazing how Tim Blair and Andrew Bolt scour the world for crimes committed by refugees anywhere. They quietly insist white Western Christian Culture collectively punish all Muslims, Africans and anyone else they decide to target and punish them here in Australia by singling them out for crimes that occurred on the other side of the globe while insisting they aren't bigots. Yet when crimes are actually examined in the places Bevis and Butthead amplify and magnify it turns out their kind White Christians are the greatest perpetrators of these sort of crimes and are the most likely to be accused and more often to get away with it. Brett Kavanaugh was a gang rapist who not only got away with it but was promoted for it. His gang and their culture are still active today in US high schools and university campuses across America.
Guess Blair and Bolt will focus their attention on crimes committed in South Sudan to smear the South Sudanese here next. It's not an accident that these media goons look for stories to stereotype people and join forces to spread the news.

DID THE SAUDIS KILL KHASHOGGI FOR HIS 9/11 SECRETS?

The latest Spectator Australia has a brilliant expose of Jamal Khashoggi,  murdered by the Saudis: "Khashoggi had dirt on Saudi links to al Qaeda before the 9/11 attacks. He had befriended Osama bin Laden  [and]  was employed by the Saudi intelligence services to try to persuade bin Laden to make peace with the Saudi royal family."

5mLink

Bolt's become all excited to discover that the right wing has found justification for the Saudi murder of the journalist  Khashoggi and yes it can be found in that right-wing rag Bolt loves so much but I won't promote. There was Bolt the past few days telling us Trump was in trouble if an excuse for murder couldn't be found. Now we are told he was a terrorist sympathiser. But hello weren't Israel and the USA also terrorist sympathisers?
Trump found an excuse too " rogues did it". Whose the rogue Khashoggi or his killers the right seem confused? Bolt's quite the flag in a storm.
Fox Business keeps casting doubt on Saudi Arabia’s involvement in Jamal Khashoggi’s disappearance

DEAR ABC: MAYBE I JUST FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE, NOT ORDERS

In 2014  Fairfax whined I'd resisted Rupert Murdoch's warmist belief: "Bolt, a climate change sceptic, seemed exasperated that anyone would think the announcement would change his mind." Now the ABC whines I'm a toady: "Much of News Corp treats... the threat to our planet with such contempt... Presumably, because Rupert Murdoch is a non-believer."  

37mLink

This  Paywall to the Herald Sun doesn't really allow for Bolt to be entirely understood. Bolt seems to claim he was always a denier presumably of the sort he is today calling Warming Science no better than a cult and an alt-religion.

Lets look at what Bolt did say as far back as 2007



Whose the liar then? What shade of denial does Bolt advocate from one day to the next when he follows the "evidence". over  6000 peer-reviewed research papers have arrived at a consensus on the matter evidence Bolt rarely if at all he refers to. He turns to evidence of papers like that of Kench who admits his research was limited to the last century and that by the second half of this century coral reefs will indeed face a climatic threat. Bolt cherry picks his evidence and never really turns to more than a few papers. Remember his constant use of Spencer who he rarely quotes to let us know the planet is cooling. Bolt rarely turns to study like the IPCC the 6000 papers supporting warming. He simply does a Trump and says they have a vested interest in lying as if lying is what science and scientific method are all about.

Besides is warming science really isn't the object of our attention these days as much as the degree of CO2 emissions and the pollutants we are releasing into the atmosphere dirty energy vs clean and the future for our kids is what's at stake and Bolt seems favor the filth of coal when the majority of the planet have turned away from it.
Given that Bolt works for an oil man media research has shown that his employees are very influenced by his opinions so if proven Bolt doesn't refer to the vast evidence available and the editorial influence  Murdoch has globally for Bolt to say he's an outlier in News Corp and we look it's obvious Bolt is just another of Rupert's sock puppets. The ABC is right.

ON TONIGHT: USELESS LIBERALS SAY IT'S OK TO BE WHITE, BUT THEN CHANGE MIND.

On The Bolt Report on Sky News at 7pm: the Morrison Government make itself a joke. It votes in the Senate that it's "OK to be white", but then say it's not because racists say so. Which means dozens of its Senators are either sheep or racists.

32m

Bolt's hobby horse trying to convince Australia that reverse racism exists and that he's indigenous too. History and context dismantled in order to mask the truth. Guess Indigenous Australia were racists for not welcoming the colonization of Australia. But then that's of no consequence as far as Bolt is concerned. Bolt's statement make nonsense in any context other than to ensure the return of Abbott and the destruction of the party Menzie's founded.
It seems the best option for this divided party under siege by a minority within would be to cast them aside even if that means losing the next election. At least the reality of who they are would be clear and idiots like Bolt could continue to run around telling Australia they are the real indigenous Australians.
What Bolt failed to make clear in his post the Senate Vote and Hanson's proposition FAILED 


"The Coalition has blamed a rogue email from a minister's office for its "regrettable" decision to back One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's incendiary motion that declared, "It's OK to be white."
Senator Hanson's motion condemning so-called "anti-white racism" was defeated in the Senate on Monday, but was backed by 23 Coalition senators and strongly endorsed on Twitter afterwards by cabinet ministers."

THE LIB -LEFT WANT TO DUMP THIS GUY?

The Leftist faction of Michael Photios wants to dump Liberal MP Craig Kelly, who has blown the whistle on the global warming fraud. Watch his frank interview: "There are events in our lives that shape us. One of the seminal events in my life was the birth of my son, Trent. He was born with Downs Syndrome. It made me question all my Liberal values."

 

 Andrew Bolt ex-obituary writer expects individual biographies to impress so much they will change the course of history Craig Kelly's son only shows Kelly is an absentee parent who spends most of his time away from home. You are what you do and Bolt and Kelly clearly show what they do despite the fact of how they describe themselves. Bolt has been caught out telling us who he is but has been shown to be quite the opposite. Kelly says he's one thing but when reality bites hes also quite the opposite We have heard Tony Abbott's personal history countless times it's pretty ugly too and peaked in failure are we meant to be impressed? Doing is being style isn't meaning and that's why history and context are so important.

History of the Menzie's Liberals is the history of a Party and not just the individuals at any one time in it. The Liberal Party took us to wars since it was formed and wars we have always lost since WW2. This current batch of individuals is no exception Abbott has used war for his political agenda too and he's brought it here. One needs to ask whether or not Bolt's post makes any sense or not by painting  warmongers as heroes. To me, it seems just a case of polishing the worst of Australians. 

John Howard does say the Liberal Party was a broad church. One full of differing views where a consensus is reached by a Democratic process of voting. That has been the downfall of this current Party because that Democratic path to a consensus has been ignored by the politicians. Rather than attending to the nation's service, they like the banks have just serviced it.

 The conservatives have chosen not to leave the party they can't control, ensured that a consensus can't be reached by a democratic process and are happy to return to the opposition to get control. This rot and thinking set in with Abbott and it's as clear to us now in hindsight as it is now in the US with Trump. The Australian Liberal Party is on the Wrong Track and their most favoured and best leader has been dispensed with for little more than revenge. Their own polls showed Turnbull was the most likely leader to take them to a win at the next election and the conservatives blew that not the moderates.

The whole world and even internal polling of the Liberal Party have shown that the electorate currently favours the need for Climate Change action. Global Science, investment, and all other indicators show that only the US and Australia are still treating Climate Change as a political issue whereas the rest of the world is actually seeing it as a human reality and planetary challenge. Those that Bolt calls the "Liberal left" the majority of the Liberal Party no longer see the political value in advocating the denial of global science those 6000 plus peer-reviewed research papers. Those deniers like Bolt's hero Kelly no longer represent their electorates when following morons like Andrew Bolt a News Corp and IPA lackey who claim they have" blown the whistle on the global warming fraud. "

The fact is when Kelly's and Bolt's denials have actually been "Peer-Reviewed they don't just fall short of the mark they sink in a quagmire of opinion not based on solid fact.

 Ask if they have invested their houses and homes in the future coal or are just spruikers paid to sell it? Have they put their money where their mouths are? Bolt has been after moderates like Photios also a member of the Liberal Party who has been a tower of strength standing in the way of the self and corporate interests of the ultra-Right of the Party.

As for Bolt's post, it makes no sense Watch this frank interview and be distracted by the sideshow of impressionism that distracts from reality. What's to watch? Kelly, Abbott, Dutton, et al individuals that fail to accept the democratic process that allowed Menzie's Party once to function and has since, Labor lost by its own stupidity, allowed the Liberal Party to amplify their discordant disease. 

MORRISON HAS SOLD HIMSELF. NOW SELL POLICIES

Cracks are appearing in Scott Morrison’s desperate bid to save the Liberals from being smashed at the next election. The Prime Minister has been great at showing he’s likeable and a great salesman. But right now he’s a great salesman with little to sell, and too often caught refusing to sell just what voters want.

21mLink

So why was Bolt trying to sell us Kelly in the post above was that an effort in selling policies or just an act of polishing? Strange Bolt talks policies but doesn't help sell them, does he? Is he trying to make a fool of himself or is he just a fool?

IPCC BULL: AVRIL WORSHIPS FALSE GOD

Once you’d see some preacher on a street corner with a sandwich board: “Repent, for the end of the world is nigh.” Now they're welcomed onto the ABC. Take Avril Hannah-Jones: “We as the population would really like the government to do something about this before we all drown or melt”. But the latest IPCC report shows why we should doubt it.

26m
Bolt is like Monty Python's Black Knight without Peter from Bellvue Hill he hasn't a blog. Bolt is simply repeating something he's already posted last week. Trying to turn the 6000 scientific peer-reviewed research papers into to a religion. That's the power of his response to the IPCC scientific report. Guess the planet's cooling again. 
The amusing thing is just what a flipper Bolt is bouncing back and forth with his arguments. He has gone from calling climate science a fraud to admitting the planet is warming and even agreeing some of the that warming is man made. Now he back declaring it to be purely a cult activity again. Generally cults are in the minority and in this case Australia, the US and Bolt are that minority both in terms of the rest of the world and further in terms of their domestic appeal which he insists must be carried  forward to the next election.

POLLS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

Two polls confirm the Morrison Government remains way behind Labor, for all the talk of gaining momentum. Newspoll has Labor leading 53 per cent to 47. Ipsos puts it at 55 to 45. To repeat: Morrison has been a success at selling himself. Now he has to sell some policies.   

36m

Bolt's spent all his efforts working for the Labor Party since his dog got kicked out of the race and now he's been playing the town crier for the minority, a cancer within the party and heralding its electoral death. The internal polling by the Liberal Party was clear that without Turnbull the Party would be lead to slaughter at the next election. How many Judas Rams does it take from within and without the Party? At least in the US Murdoch supports the GOP and not just Trump. Here he doesn't support the Party at all just Abbott. Ipsos poll Dumping Turnbull delivers zero gain for the Coalition

This is a damning poll for Liberals who thought the way to lift their political fortunes was to change their leader. Bolt isn't as forthright on this fact, is he?




 

 Trump Administration Urges Saudis To Stick To Killing Random Yemeni Civilians

  As criticism mounted over the country’s alleged role in the disappearance and possible death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the Trump administration reportedly urged the leaders of Saudi Arabia Friday to stick to killing random Yemeni civilians. “The potential murder of a high-profile journalist critical of their regime raises grave concerns for us, and we appeal to the leaders of Saudi Arabia to restrict their extrajudicial murders to Yemeni people who don’t have any public platform,” said President Trump, adding that the White House would not sit idly by as the Saudis caused the deaths of innocent people unless they were Yemeni children in a school bus or a group of Yemeni people attending a wedding.

 Mr Morrison said Alex Turnbull was "his own person", but that his father Malcolm Turnbull was heavily supporting the Liberal candidate Dave Sharma.
"At the Wentworth by-election, I have a simple message, if you want a continuation of the certainty for our economy and of economic management, voting for anyone other than Dave Sharma puts all of that at risk," Mr Morrison said.
"If an independent is elected at the Wentworth by-election, that will throw us into a hung parliament and a lot of uncertainty at a time when the country doesn't need it."

Football is not just a sport. This is family, teaching us to accept. This is life. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

One truth Andrew Bolt isn't Martin Flanagan and he doesn't practice what he preaches. He criticizes and only accepts the Australian family off a very, very small base. Last week he criticized the AFL and he didn't accept Richmond's inclusive "family" support of the 'yes' vote. Instead he turned to Carlton and their complaint that the AFL didn't represent them.You see Bolt is a user Flanagan isn't. Flanagan is proud of his family and has photos of them and they do of him he's genuine. Bolt isn't.
 How can a man, such a reclusive, appear genuine and preach to us about family when his is so hidden. He has a brother and sister of whom you never hear and he never says he's proud of when others do but not Andrew Bolt. The man isn't genuine if Dusty came to date his daughter Bolt would turn his back on him. You see what is Australian is Bolt from a wog family married up the social ladder and was welcomed by none other than Australians simply because their daughter Sally found something in him. He was welcomed. You can be certain that Andrew Bolt wouldn't be as welcoming if Dusty or Houli turned up at his door. He's the most disingenuous ,talking head, bag of wind, and the most un-Australian Aussie to be telling us what family is. 
Waleed Aly well he's a Richmond supporter too and he was part of the cheer squad he was an active member of that club. What part of the Richmond family is Andrew Bolt other than just hot air he spins? Is Richmond proud of Andrew Bolt?

FAR-RIGHT GERMAN LEADER QUITS PARTY, ACCUSES IT OF RACISM

Gutsy, and I hope she can now develop a better alternative party: "The resurgent German far-Right looked in danger of imploding within hours of its electoral triumph on Monday, as [the Alternative for Germany co-chair]  announced she ... would sit as an independent. Frauke Petry ... lashed out at colleagues, accusing them of condoning racism." 

""The sort of anarchic party the AfD has become in recent weeks can be successful in opposition, but cannot offer a credible alternative government," she said..."Petry

They say two negatives make a positive they don't. Two Nazi's remain two Nazi's just as two rounds of Mr. Nope Abbott would remain a negative and a permanent government in opposition that did nothing. We learned that in 2013 when Abbott began lying straight off the bat with his 3 word no tax cut slogans.

The AfD is the party Andrew Bolt gave unqualified praise to and celebrated their rise. " Ms. Petry made it clear she was unhappy with remarks by Mr Gauland and others calling for an end to the culture of guilt over Germany's Nazi past." Petry "calling for border guards to open fire on refugees."  The AfD has moved further to the Right just as Tony Abbott did.

 

SAUDIS LET WOMEN DRIVE, BUT LITTLE ELSE

Big step, if from far behind: "Saudi Arabia announced on Tuesday that it would allow women to drive, ending a longstanding policy that has become a global symbol of the repression of women in the ultraconservative kingdom." But still: "Women cannot travel abroad, work or undergo some medical procedures without the consent of their male 'guardian'."

  Andrew Bolt's continued ignorance is extremely dangerous it amplifies the fact he doesn't know the difference between religion and culture and doesn't care. Latin Americans practice their Catholicism differently to us does that make them our enemies? He doesn't care. Here is the man who was celebrating the rise of the Nazi party in Germany yesterday proving that he is ignorant and dangerous.

 Does Bolt hate the Saudis"? They don't want to be his neighbors as much as he doesn't want to be theirs but nevertheless, we call them and have done for many years our political allies and happily support them bombing the bejezuz out of the Yemen turning it into the basket case of the world. Bolt would prefer them as our enemies it seems but he can't. Islam does not dictate the way women ought to be treated one only needs to turn to the world's largest Islamic countries to see that. There is nothing  in the Koran that says  "Women cannot travel abroad, work or undergo some medical procedures without the consent of their male 'guardian'."Bolt

Does anybody find it strange that Tunisia is a Muslim country Bolt never mentions has had equal pay and woman's rights to abortion and education since the 70s  while we are still dealing with these issues? That Tunisians know more about Western Culture than Andrew Bolt would ever know about theirs and they speak more languages than most Australians. He doesn't shy away from his bigotry, does he? He hides it in plain sight.

 

THEY DON'T TALK FREEDOM BECAUSE THEY DON'T RESPECT IT

Paul Kelly is right: "The feature of the campaign so far is the absolute refusal of the Yes camp to concede any legitimacy to warnings of the No camp about the risks to religious freedom and belief... It simply refuses to engage in the issue. Has there ever been a more arrogant campaign?" Not discussing freedom suggests they plan to destroy it.

 Freedom of religion is practiced by Australian Muslims who have recognized that "marriage equality has little or nothing to do with their faith nor does the law as it stands. Bolt, however, throws that aside for the need of freedom of abuse and he freely does abuse both Muslims and "yes" voters for persecuting Christians. The very fact that he says he's not a Christian is a form of persecution. Like Gandhi did the British simply by ignoring Christian faith and getting on with changing secular and unjust laws Bolt screams persecution. We don't give a damn what Bolt the agnostic Christian believes in but it's certainly hypocritical simply because we want our laws to reflect what it is our constitution guarantees equality, freedom of religion and the separation of state powers.

The problem we face here is the disingenuous manufacturing of FEAR by ignorance. Since 2001 places that have allowed marriage equality and have been fully researched have shown that the fears being by the likes of Bolt are totally manufactured and no such events have taken place in any sociological, systemic or statistical sense so how can any legitimacy be given to outlandish warnings? Bolt can't even name countries that statistically significant changes have occurred.

 

RICHO ON TURNBULL'S TERRIBLE POLLS: SURELY HE CAN'T LAST

Graham Richardson on 20 disastrous polls in a row: "The Liberal Party is in some sort of pre traumatic syndrome. They are limping along to absolutely no avail and are heading for disaster. No one appears to have the will to take Turnbull on, so the waiting game continues. The lemmings have their bags packed for their trip over the cliff."

Populism over politics is a result of whatever the media can amplify and sell and Bolt works for the largest private media organization in the country whose CEO was also the founding member of the most Conservative think tank in the country the IPA. So what chance is there for information, news, being delivered and packages in any organized way other than by the non-commercial ABC which questions the underlying motives of both the government and opposition parties alike. Unfortunately the financial ability of minority interests to mobilize are aided by the likes of News Corp and are clearly visible in what is deemed to be a free market but in fact is a monopoly that profits by selling and lobbying the interests of only 1% in a very organized way. The only alternative for any real opposition or agreement needs an organizational approach that's not just adversarial but more like the German model. Where the boards of all corporations in the market are required to represent all interested parties including the workers and their Unions and not just the shareholders. If that were the case Governments like Tony Abbott's would have less chance of surfacing to do nothing.

' FIGHTING FOR GAY MARRIAGE GENERALLY INVOLVES LYING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO'

They've warned you. Statist gay marriage activist Masha Gessen at the Sydney Writers Festival in 2012: "Fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we're going to do with marriage when we get there."

  Not only is Bolt inferring Frances Abbott is a liar but that her ideal heterosexual family has raised incorrectly why? Because as you see Bolt uses a stereotypical broad brush that says "generally". So he's comfortable in calling Abbott's sister and daughter liars along with 17 of 18 Australia's leading politicians. My question who is the f'wit, the bullyboy under these circumstances. Who sounds the lest reasoned and unintelligent?
  Bolt's  delusion of the ideal heterosexual marriage is the myth and the lie it's not the fundamental institution of all societies. It has changed significantly over time and with class. For the wealthy it's purpose was an arranged contract and the merging of wealth. For the Industrial Revolution, it was a means of ensuring a mobile and cheap labor force. Over the years and in many societies it developed from extended family arrangements. The raising of children wasn't done by the parents of the wealthy nor was it done by both parents of working-class families. Bolt's talking rubbish and is even idealizing his own family. Things have been far more fluid and variable than he's prepared to admit when today in most cases both parents are working to make ends meet.

The Israeli kibbutzes were never an arrangement of nuclear families either it was more of a socialist commune. Today we see that the most common form that Bolt holds dear up is in fact on the decline so fighting for a singular definition of marriage in any fixed form involves a major amount of lying. The lying however in Bolt's case has no statistical or sociological significance. Colombia University did a study of gay marriages over a period of 30 years and 97% of those studies indicated no difference existed. Bolt however always turns to confirmational bias when indicating research and will look for the 3% or even individual cases to support the conclusion he has already in mind. He's the bad cop constantly out to convict Blacks, Gays, and Muslims,

 

 

THE OPPRESSION STARTS: NT CONSIDERING NEW LAWS AGAINST CHURCHES

It starts. Northern Territory moves against churches: "One of exemptions that could be removed is section 30(2) that permits religious schools to exclude prospective students who are not of that religion. Another exemption ... is section 37A that permits religious schools to discriminate against employees on the grounds of religious beliefs."  

 Bolt confirmation bias reveals itself in the hypotheticals of what if, it could be proposed, all of which exist in the world of fantasy. Tony Abbott proposed an honors list of Knighthoods and Dames be returned to Australia and was it? All this is in Bolt's land of "could be's " The reason Catholic schools today take in non-Catholics isn't due to any generosity on their part but rather a case of Economics.  Can Andrew Bolt point to countries and name any countries that we have seen wholesale demonstrations after the marriage laws were introduced."The proposals are among the most extreme ever floated by a state or territory government in Australia, but are broadly in accord with measures introduced in all other countries where same-sex marriage has been introduced." Catholic lie

I was raised a Catholic to find out you can do whatever you want and always be absolved by confession and what's revealed in confession stays there. Don't most commentators do that without ever confessing? Bolt does. Which countries are now persecuting religions due to the change in the marriage laws?

 

The Trans 16-Year-Old Who Was Allegedly Assaulted Says The Marriage Survey Has Made Her Less Safe

VOTE FOR JIM MOLAN

Cheer him on: "Liberal Party reformers moved last night to overthrow the 'factional warlords' that control a key division in a warning sign to Malcolm Turnbull and other ­leaders to help deliver more power to party members. Retired major-general Jim Molan ... put himself forward as a candidate for president of the NSW division on a reform ticket." 

So the Liberal Party now wants to look like the Labor Party the once criticized for branch stacking.
