Fighting Fake News with REAL 9/4/22; Morrison, Ukraine, The Shovel

 

 

  

Morrison made it clear on News 6 what he thinks of the ABC and he has set out to fix that

Morrison shows all the characteristics of a fanatic cultist who just moves on if faced with any opposition. He simply ignores the chaos he creates and has a set routine dealing with it "don't". It's on and forward to achieve the goal God chose for him. Yes. if questions are too difficult he just moves on. He knows what he says is bullshit but that doesn’t matter because his goal is more important than any electorates. The difference between Morrison and Trump is that Trump isn’t religious only a ratings hog. But, that  fundamentally. is the only difference. Trump like Morrison made a lists of promises that just faded away. Unlike the Donald Morrison doesn’t need to pay attention to the ratings. He simply made it harder for the LNP  to get rid of him requiring a 66% instead of 51% majority. He knows he has 9 Pentacostalists on side and he moved Right as soon as he was elected shoring up his leadership autocratically. Yes the LNP has become the autocrats party. The pro a Kleptocracy and it’s why there will never be an ICAC under their government.

Like QAnon and Trump Morrison can and will accuse the ALP or any opposition of being children eaters in the basement of pizza shops if it helps to achieve God’s destiny. Logic can never trump his faith, and faith, not fact, is Morrison’s fuel. He is a member of God’s given  “elect” so it doesn’t matter if what it is he says is bullshit as long as it draws us away from the Godless Democracy, and its Separation of Powers in his Christian Nation. He along with members of his Church are saved and don’t need to face judgement at the End of Daze. That’s why he can do and say anything, and it’s not a lie or transgression of any sort. He just needs to control the media and the message.

Scott Morrison is dangerous because he is driven by a fantastically flawed personality, mixed with a deranged political ideology, with the added bonus of crazy end-of-times religious lunacy. In Australia we presume the good faith of our political leaders. It has held to be true for over a century, but Morrison has picked up certain traits from his role models overseas, which are foreign to us. The predominant trait I speak of is shamelessness, and an ability to instantly forget anything politically adverse; to instantly move on, in the naïve belief that we have no memories.

Meanwhile, despite the increasing revelation of atrocities, the Australian government is cozying up to the  Indian government who isn’t supporting any of the sanctions against Russia despite knowledge of Putin's widespread butchery on Ukraine citizens. That act alone is reason for kicking Morrison out. His transactional morality.

 In the path of Trump and Steve Bannon appointments are rapidly being made to hinder any opposition Government. Which is a Leninist strategy adopted ultra-right wing governments who have fragmented any notion of Public Service. Morrison has cut and privatized the sector while expanding government advisors and publicists who when faced with a disaster have proved totally unfit. Remember the screams when Daniel Andrews professionalized the fire services in Victoria

The Morrison government has appointed more than 30 former Coalition ministers, MPs, staffers and donors to taxpayer-funded jobs in the last six months alone.

Scott Morrison and senior ministers have defended the appointments, but Labor has argued it’s a case of history repeating after a large number of partisan appointments before the 2019 election and stacking of the administrative appeals tribunal with 85 people linked to the Coalition since 2013.

On Friday evening the energy minister, Angus Taylor, reappointed his former energy adviser John Hirjee to the Australian Renewable Energy Agency board along with Anna Matysek, an economist and co-founder of BAEconomics, which has been critical of Labor’s climate policies.

The funds will be used to build protection against a potential disaster in Josh Frydenberg’s marginal seat of Kooyong.

Morrison’s stop in Lismore turned out to be yet another very, very controlled photoshoot. Promises along with his “it’s not my fault and stop blaming the ADF” didn’t fool anyone. Lismore and other flooded areas were told by Peter Dutton to “go fund yourselves” and they did. Helicopters flew in where Dutton said it was too difficult for the ADF. Supplies were trucked in when the mud army knew government aid wasn’t coming. Charity, was forthcoming where emergency government funding wasn’t to be seen and as usual, the Morrison government was MIA. All they were doing was damage control in front of cameras.

All this was a result of the L-NP’s years of stripping the Public Service of any ability of coordinated action and handing it over to private contractors for their generous support of the government’s L-NP fighting fund.

  These Putin apologists one and all prove to actually be his anti-woke fans down under. Abbott Credlin and Bolt might have all raised Putin up on their shoulders and cheered Huzzar. Let's not get confused however, Putin is Putin he isn't Russia or the Russian people. He, like his supporters, is an ultra right-wing Nationalist, and in no measure a patriot

Rachael Withers in The Monthly

“Writing in The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday (Murdoch’s American Masthead) (and dutifully republished by The Australian), former PM Tony Abbott joined the raft of commentators trying to link Russia’s invasion to a “weakened” West’s obsession with social and environmental issues.”

Withers continued:

“He went on to criticise all three members of AUKUS for their focus on reducing emissions, implying that it was this that had emasculated the West (along with globalisation, “cultural Marxists”, COVID restrictions and the fact that you couldn’t even make Monty Python’s Life of Brian these days).”

(His camp follower)

Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt never to be left out of a bit of truth bashing, was not far behind ( simply paraphrasing) what he’d said

“… the war in Ukraine has exposed the lethal danger of falling for green myths … Russian president Vladimir Putin would never have dared invade Ukraine if the green movement hadn’t first made Europe look helpless,” he added.

All Abbott ever does when he enters the realm of serious discussion is highlight the fact that he was grossly unsuitable for the office of Prime Minister of Australia. However, the most pressing matters regarding climate action came out of all this unworldly nonsense.

 I doubt if the Nation will. But I'm certain the IPA, News Corp, Sky News, Ch9, and Ch7 are determined to try and maintain their quid pro quo relationship even if the Libs have to form a new but silent L-NP-UAP Coalition. A coalition with a fighting fund unheard of in Australian politics. 

This government started out with a dog for a leader that chased parked cars barking Nope Nope Nope, Tony Abbott. After 9 years they have wound up with a rabid beast, a Sloth pretending to be a Labrador but only pup when it was time to do the job. Morrison is a twice failed marketing manager of a government he built. The Liberal Party should now be appropriately named The Edsel. Both will go down as history's greatest failures.

Here's a fact you won't hear on Fox News today. Exxon, Chevron, and Conoco made $46 billion in profit in 2021. Now they're using 40% of those profits for stock buybacks. Big Oil is raking it in, raising prices, and taking advantage of the war in Ukraine to push for more drilling.

Murdoch is heavily in vested in Genie Oil in the illegally occupied territory of Syria's Golan Heights and Abbott has a quid pro quo relationship with Murdoch media writing in the WSJ reprinted in The Australian and given the full Hurrah by Sky News after dark.  Ignoring what News and Information are all about.

It might well be said that the US-led Iraq invasion in 2003 was a product of its own mental disease, the product of ideological and evangelical madness, accompanied by a conviction that states could be forcibly pacified into a state of democracy. Where there was no evidence of links between Baghdad and al-Qaeda operatives responsible for the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, it was simply made up.

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) is busy not so much with a conflict on the other side of the globe but finding a way to spin the misery of the people of Ukraine into anti-China propaganda. It’s just the kind of propaganda Scott Morrison wants, and the prime minister clearly thinks he needs, in the run up to a likely May federal election. For years ASPI has suckled at the teat of the weapons industry; but far and away the most generous of ASPI’s benefactors is the Morrison government.

Young climate campaigners with Fridays for Future took to the streets across the globe Thursday to stand with the people of Ukraine—whose country was invaded last week by Russian President Vladimir Putin—and call for a world that prioritizes peace and freedom from fossil fuels for all. As Ukrainian forces and civilians fought Russian invaders who have been accused of war crimes, members of the youth-led movement—who generally hold school strikes on Fridays, inspired by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg—carried signs that said #StandWithUkraine and #NoMoreWars. Demonstrators also used the hashtags to share updates on social media.

Racism is as true today in Australia as when Whites stepped off the boat and imported it on invasion day. Yes, Woke is BLM and the fact that Black lives Do Matter. Yes Woke is “cancel culture’ but not all but “change culture” for women, for LGBTQI’s, for Climate action. It’s for the betterment of us all and not the maintenance of privilege and power generationally handed down to a marginal few. Woke is proudly multicultural, and the fact that our Institutions and the culture that dominantes opinion and justifies our historic systemic patterns of behaviors no longer reflects the common good in our reality is the reason for the drive, and need to change.

Racism is not an opinion.

It is a fact.

This is true both in the United States and around the world.

Racism and white supremacy continue to structure American society, largely by privileging some groups (those defined as “white”) and disadvantaging others (especially those deemed “Black,” but other nonwhites as well). These outcomes are the aggregate result of individual, systemic and institutional discrimination and other forms of racial animus. This has been a fixture of American life and society since before the founding of the republic through to the post-civil rights era and now the Age of Trump and a 21st-century form of fascism. In practice, racism and white supremacy are a “changing same,” constantly adapting over time to fit American society in support of the maintenance and expansion of white privilege, white power and white control.

Scott Morrison said instantly “Ukrainians were“refugees” and would go straight to the top of the ladder” Not so Iraqis, Aghanis, or Africans and definitely not those who arrived by boat. They are “illegals”, first “asylum seekers” maybe but will never be settled here in total contravention to the International Convention which we signed. Even the ACL the Australian Christian Lobby took umbrage at Morrison’s Racist and Orientalist stance suggesting Ukrainians Caucasians and Europeans are the exception to those from the third world. But that’s Scott Morrison who picks up a ukelele and can’t play and has always taken on jobs he simply hasn’t the DNA or capacity to do.

This double standard is all the more apparent in how prominent journalists have discussed the war. CBS reporter Charlie D’Agata apologized after describing Ukraine as “civilized” compared to places like Iraq or Afghanistan, but he is far from alone. Others have similarly expressed shock that a war could happen outside a “third world nation” to people who “seem so like us.” In response to such examples, the Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association released a statement condemning “orientalist and racist” rhetoric and demanded that newsrooms apply the same consideration to all victims of war.

Fighting Fake News with REAL; 25/2/22 Murdoch's Fox News is the New Russian State Media in America, GOP is Redder than Red; Morrison punishes 25 Russians not a word on Murdoch; Truth in Humor;

 

 

 

In recent days, as Putin has threatened a conflagration, top conservatives and GOP officials have practically pinned “I’m-with-Vlad buttons” onto their lapels. One example: Mike Pompeo, Trump’s final secretary of state and before that his CIA director, had only praise for the corrupt Russian autocrat, describing him as “talented” and “savvy.” Donald Trump, speaking to a conservative podcaster on Tuesday, hailed Putin’s moves in Ukraine as “genius.” Referring to Putin’s invasion of eastern Ukraine, Trump said, “Putin declares a big portion of…of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful…I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper…Here’s a guy who’s very savvy.” Later in the interview, Trump continued to gush: “I knew Putin very well. I got along with him great. He liked me. I liked him. I mean, you know, he’s a tough cookie, got a lot of the great charm and a lot of pride. But the way he—and he loves his country, you know? He loves his country.”

Morrison's response a ban on 25 Russians coming to Australia. Meanwhile Murdoch who is Australia's biggest private media distributor and L-NP propagandist  is supporting Putin's Russian invasion of the Ukraine. Fox News'Ingrham was providing Donald Trump a media platform while the Ukraine was addressing the world about the Russian invasion. Tucker Carlson was central to the Murdochian love-fest for Putin spending millions apologising for Putin. Morrison has made no mention that his media master actually supports what he "claims" he doesn't. Not a peep from Morrison about Murdoch whose currently Russian State Media in America.

 Morrison's response "a ban on 25 Russians" from coming to Australia, but nevertheless an opportunity for a photo-shoot with ruffled hair, an appropriate panicked appearance and urgent statement as if he was shirt-fronting Putin. 

What is significant is that Murdoch's Fox News which is promoting Putin, providing space to Donald Trump to cheer Putin on rather than reporting what's actually happening and Scott Morrison is ignoring any action that might annoy his media master. Not a word of criticism coming from the Australian Government on what Australia's largest media owner is doing. Not a single complaint or sanction he's applying against 25 Russians who haven't the influence on us that Murdoch has.

ON FOX NEWS SUPPORTS PUTIN- MORRISON SPENDS LNP MONEY ADVERTISING WITH MURDOCH AND ACTS TOUGH BANNING 25 RUSSIANS

More than a year after he left office, Donald Trump continues to be obsessed with his loss to President Joe Biden, pushing the lie that the election was rigged against him. And on Wednesday night, the former president’s delusions were on full display on Fox News, when he traced Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine back to the 2020 presidential election. Advertisement “He sees the weakness and stupidity of this administration,” Trump said of the Russian president. “As an American, I am angry and saddened. It happened because of a rigged election.” Trump doesn’t seem all that sad. He couldn’t help but express admiration for Putin in a speech Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago, saying, “I mean, he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart.” Trump also said that “never in a million years” would such an invasion have happened during his presidency. He couldn’t help but boast of Putin, “I know him very well.” His comments Wednesday are similar to ones he made in a radio interview Tuesday, when he again called the Russian leader “smart.”

Morrison the barking Powerless Parrot  has made Australia a standing joke to not only 1.3B Chinese people but to the rest of the world. After all he and the LNP leased the port of Darwin to China and proudly signed CHAFTA. We know China’s complaints about the Murdoch Press are valid but do we actually know Morrison’s complaints about China are? Sam Dastyari knows!!

Scott Morrison’s ramping up of a scare campaign against Labor’s Anthony Albanese has shone a laser-like focus on just how defenceless Australia is against any military threat China might pose. To listen to the Prime Minister, you would think it is in Australia’s power to force an explanation from China about an alleged laser attack on a RAAF surveillance aircraft in the Arafura Sea to our immediate north on Thursday. Three days later, Beijing has rejected Australia’s claims, demanding Canberra stop its “groundless accusations” against them.

At the end of his government, in the federal election of March 1983, Malcolm Fraser was so desperate to land a blow on the surging campaign of Opposition Leader Bob Hawke that he tried to fire up all the scares at once. And Hawke humiliated him by dismissing them all at once. When Fraser told a rally that “people would be better off keeping their money under the bed” if Labor won, Hawke snarked back: “But you can’t put your money under the bed… that’s where the commies are.” Anthony Albanese could learn from that. An opponent who’s being desperate and ridiculous can be easily be made to look… desperate and ridiculous.

Corporate media’s reward and their business model’s paycheck. The three  years investment in the quid pro quo arrangement of biased cash for comment with the LNP  is now paying out. Murdoch has been practicing it globally. No News is Good News biased news is even better. News has been turned on it’s head and and a propaganda model defined. In Australia and the UK the ABC and the BBC have to be crushed as insurance and that has been the LNP and Tory contract.

 Problem with Credlin is she like all Liberals live with myths of the past. The fact is the LNP has been the highest taxing Government not the lowest. The greatest to go back on its promises. Increased Government debt like no other and refuses to admit to the worst leadership we've ever experienced for three terms. Credlin is a reflection and amplification of the chaos in the L-NP

News Corp columnist David Penberthy says he thinks many Australians regard the Prime Minister as “expendable”. Sky News host Peta Credlin has lashed Prime Minister Scott Morrison, pleading with him to “do better” or abandon his chances at the next election. 

In an opinion piece for The Australian, Credlin said Mr Morrison needed to give voters “a reason to vote for you” and said the performance of the Liberal party was leaving people “politically homeless”. “The government that’s going into this election is almost unrecognisable from the one elected in 2013,” Credlin wrote. The former Liberal staffer said the actions of Mr Morrison had led to a lot of “disillusionment among many Liberal supporters”, especially on policy related to lowered taxes and more support for big businesses. “There’s no big political party that’s rock-solid for lower taxes, smaller government and greater freedom, plus support for the family, small business and the institutions that have made this country what it is,” she wrote.

So for several decades, the bureau has supplemented the official unemployment figures by also publishing the number of people underemployed – those part-timers who’d prefer working work more hours. The latest figures show an unemployment rate of 4.2 per cent, plus an underemployment rate of 6.6 per cent. Thus it is true the official unemployment rate of 4.2 per cent isn’t as good as it looks. It does understate the proportion of people who aren’t able to find as much work as they want.

 We’ve had great success in creating extra jobs in the past year – most of which have been full-time – mainly because the government has responded to the pandemic with massively increased government spending. But the economy may slow if, as all that “fiscal stimulus” runs out, the private sector doesn’t take up the running.

 The jobs market has also had a lot of help from an unprecedented (and temporary) source: for two years our borders have been closed to incoming workers. Skilled workers on temporary visas, and overseas students and backpackers doing unskilled and casual jobs.
