Questions remain over U.S. and CIA role in Whitlam's dismissal

Archives from the White House and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) would shed more light on Whitlam's dismissal than the "Palace Papers", says Bilal Cleland.

 FAKE NEWS

 

KERR LETTERS EXPOSE GOUGH WHITLAM AS THE REPUBLICAN SELL-OUT

The Left's conspiracy theory about Gough Whitlam's sacking explodes, with Whitlam the Republican exposed as a hypocrite, begging the Queen to save his job: "The Kerr-Palace letters, instead of showing that the Palace interfered in the dismissal of the Whitlam government, showed that Whitlam sought palace interference, but didn’t get it."

 In his typical weasel style Bolt declares Whitlam the PM or Whitlam the citizen to be a Republican hypocrite. Just how many issues can Bolt conflate into a single piece of bullshit?

Clearly when Whitlam PM discovered he was sacked he as the private citizen rang to have the decision reversed. He was playing the cards he was dealt obeying the law and constitution and it had nothing to do with his belief in a Republic. Whitlam was taller than Bolt maybe Bolt could weasel that into his putrid tapestry as well. Be sure that this isn't an original Bolt thought he's stolen it.

" Kerr had made it clear to the Queen’s man that he felt he was on the clock in a decision-making sense, and Charteris told Kerr at a critical juncture that he believed the reserve powers – which he defined as the prerogative of the crown to dissolve parliament, or refuse to dissolve parliament – did exist.

Charteris counselled caution, but he did not dissuade Kerr from contemplating a dissolution as one valid course of action – there were no nods, winks, hints or warning flares to the contrary – and he praised the governor-general for playing his viceregal hand with “skill and wisdom”. He then told Kerr on 5 November: “If you do, as you will, what the constitution dictates, you cannot possible [sic] do the monarchy any avoidable harm. The chances are you will do it good.”

After being dispatched from the office of prime minister without warning, Whitlam is then captured in the letters ringing the palace at 4.15am as a “private citizen” asking to be reinstated. Seriously. Can you imagine?"

RICKY GERVAIS ATTACKS 'THIS WEIRD SORT OF FASCISM' OF THE LEFT

Ricky Gervais joins the list of Leftists appalled by what the Left has become: 'There's this new weird sort of fascism of people thinking they know what you can say and what you can't... Just because you're offended it doesn't mean you're right." Again, more talented Leftists protest. Cancel culture is a weapon of lesser minds and fragile egos.

The attack is a blinkered generalisation that Free Speech is in some way being protested against rather than being accountable and examined. Free speech doesn't exist in the private surrounds of Andrew Bolt's private home, his workplace or amongst as he says his very narrow group of friends. Agreed speech is more the rule. It's his excuse to have kept secrets from his wife a misogynist judgement on his part that suggests he doesn't really believe their equals. Yet he publicly has winged that he's the victim in the family as he's the only breadwinner a yolk he has to bear. 

Ricky Gervaise has faced applause and criticism. Lenny Bruce faced fascism and was arrested. Andrew Bolt has faced and been asked to be accountable. Today Bruce is seen as a victim. Bolt the victimiser Gervaise well he's just a defender of his sometimes poor jokes.

EDITOR BARI WEISS QUITS NEW YORK TIMES: 'EDITED BY TWITTER'

The fascist Left is shamed: "New York Times opinion columnist and editor Bari Weiss announced Tuesday she is leaving..., saying she was bullied by colleagues in an 'illiberal environment,'  weeks after declaring there was a 'civil war' inside the paper." Too true: 

1h ago 

Bolt throws the term fascism about as he does racism, misogyny, and reverses it's meaning. Fascism is the creation of a corporate state  Mussolini's dream in which business and politics are fully united in dictating the pattern of life of the nation. A fully right-wing there is no " fascism of the left" a term invented by those in power who claim to be victims in a system that has a one-directional punch, down. Bolt is using the term, not Bari Weiss. She may have decided or even been pushed to resign due to reasons we aren't privy to. Misogyny, differences of opinion in an environment Bolt presumes to know but doesn't but certainly not one ruled by a "fascist left" his pet descriptive for those he doesn't agree with. He's simply projecting as he generally does that he is a victim too posturing as a fake empathiser. Bolt's more often than not tried to have those with which he disagrees sacked and cancelled. Cheering if it happens as if he was the trigger.

WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

We're all in this together: "Dannii Minogue was able to get an exemption from hotel quarantine from Queensland’s Chief Health Officer. The singer and presenter has returned home from the United States with her 10-year-old son over the weekend.... But Minogue has somehow been granted an exemption, and is instead quarantining at a private property." 

Michael O'Brien and Andrew Bolt are two clowns sitting in the bleachers yelling at anyone Labour as not being competent. Their problem is they have no better plan or the logistics to carry it out even if the did. Bolt's been swinging like a metronome and Obrien simply bleating because he feels he needs to, all show no direction. Two grumpy old muppets forced to put on a meaningless show.

  Great Australian political policy stuff-ups (part 3): Whitlam - how does history judge him? - » The Australian Independent Media Network

Previous instalments:
Great Australian political policy stuff-ups (part 1)
Great Australian political policy stuff-ups (part 2): The Menzies years

After Whitlam’s death Andrew Bolt was quick to describe his failures as thus:
The disaster was inevitable. With the Budget blown and the international oil shock hitting a weakened economy, the Whitlam government saw unemployment nearly triple, the tax take double, the deficit blow out, and inflation soar to almost 20 per cent.
Bolt – as usual – doesn’t know what he is talking about. He makes no allowance for the oil shock and an American recession.
He adopted multiculturalism, only to encourage a dangerous new tribalising of Australia. 
Conclusion
What ever your political disposition there cannot be any doubt that he changed the country for the better.
As for the other side of the ledger, the economics, I would suggest that history is beginning to look favourably on the intellectual giant that he was.
 My thought for the day
 The left of politics is concerned with people who cannot help themselves. The right is concerned with those who can.


 

 These posts are little more than PAYWALLS trying to hook people into subscribing to a News Corp masthead. Bolt has been little more than a barrack-er from the bleachers when it comes to Climate Change unable to provide any logical or scientific argument against. So at times, he has turned to total denial then swings to agreement amplifying the complexities involved to swinging back calling Warmists a Religious cult bereft for facts. He's denied there's any consensus to be had and for a long time maintained the planet was cooling. Now he's taken to attacking individuals Prince Harry and a 16-year-old child as if they were the leaders of this Warmist cult rather than the consensus among the worlds scientific bodies.

Basically, Bolt's been like a flag in a storm blowing for attention and the amusement of the majority watching it being torn apart.

Bolt is losing the attention of Australia's major Institutional players, Banks, Investors, and even the major Industries. He certainly didn't capture the attention of the voters of Warringah or help Abbott his" dog"  in the race. 

Australia 0.3% of the world's pop is the 14th largest emitter of Greenhouse Gases ahead of 40 other nations with much larger populations. However, because it's such a large exporter of fossil fuel its impact on the planet is far greater. We are the 3rd biggest exporters of fossil fuels and allow other nations to be emitters, and Bolt's only argument to this is denial or that it's a global problem of which we have little or no share.

 It appears he can't run that argument over and over again, so he's turned to attacking a 16-year-old and to cover his hypocrisy over Adam Goodes he's also targeted others like the UK Royalty why? Because the UK Tories Conservatives have silently been pushing the Australian government to be far more proactive on Climate Change. I suspect Bolt aware of the UK Conservative push so has turned on the British Royalty Rather than the Conservative Party. Has anyone seen Bolt accept reasonable disagreement?
Elton John showed just how wrong Bolt is declaring he arranged Carbon neutral flights for harry and his wife. Something Bolt must have known given his access to the real facts, but he chose to bury this one. If he didn't know it shows what a reckless jock he is with information. (ODT)

HARRY AND MEGHAN, WARMING WARRIORS, TAKE FOURTH PRIVATE JET IN 11 DAYS

Global warming frauds, and lazy. Meghan Markle last month guest-edited an edition of British Vogue, putting warmist guru Greta Thunberg on the cover. Prince Harry told Vogue he and Markle would have only two children because of the “terrifying” implications of climate change. Then they used private jets four times in 11 days to go on holidays.

MESSENGER SHOT, BUT EVEN A GUARDIAN WRITER NOW WORRIES ABOUT THUNBERG

Philosopher Julian Bagnini accuses me in the Guardian of "moral bankruptcy" for criticising the Greta Thunberg cult.  But then he admits he also worries about the "virtual canonisation" of an "idealist" whose absolutism represents "a refusal to engage with complexity", making "reasonable disagreement from [even] people on her side more difficult".

Andrew Bolt's Blog 5/11/14, Bolt a fart in a hurricane, Cate Blanchett reminded us today at the Whitlam memorial of the Cultural benefits Bolt recieved but the little he's repaid for having been a beneficiary. We know he passed through uni like a case of salmonella

 

 

The Whitlam funeral

Cate Blanchett's gave an inspirational memorial speech to Gough. It actually reminded us all of why Bolt is a fart in a hurricane. Why he adds nothing to our cultural landscape yet was beneficiary of Whitlam's largess and vision. His investment in the future of Australian youth not cut back. Though a university failure Bolt benefited from those years of government spending which saw no government deficit.

 

Lambie trashes November 11

Lambie makes a point out of need. The need of troops who fought in Afghanistan who now suffer from PTDS  and are homeless living in cars and sleeping rough. The walking dead  and living woundedwho the government no longer budgets for. They are dead in spirit discarded because as Bolt says they are of no use and are a disposable cost. Economic rationalism is all that counts are you profitable? Bolt's favourite movie is Soylent Green.

Warmist predicts “mass-death events” in 10 to 15 years

 Skeptics greatest lie.Worst case scenario's aren't predictions. Bolt would have us believe his cry of no warming for 16 years is entirely true when it's patently false however he continues to repeat it over and over again somehow believing we'll be convinced like the "down down prices are down Coles Ad". He really has no respect for his audience. Since records have been established the planet has warmed each decade.

Bolt heralds James Taylor as his heroic skeptic a lawyer found and accused of  defaming  organisations such as NOAA. Who he claims support his arguments Bolt used them falsely this week. Bolt supports Dr Spencer a noted plagiarist and researcher who has been caught out a number of times and has withdrawn papers he has published after peer group review. 

Bolt hasn't read the 116 page IPCC report most of which he wouldn't understand anyway he never will. The report was compiled from 100's of the worlds top professional intergovernmental climatologists but it's Bolt that has chosen to select a secondary & tertiary commentary from people like himself for his feeble anti-climate cry which is getting weaker and weaker. I have often asked but have never seen Bolt's answer  how much he has privately invested in fossil fuels? Nothing I'm sure maybe he is hoping their value will just keep falling and he still wont.

As for lighting up the lives of the Indian poor coal has been killing the poor of India and we can guess that Bolt and Abbott see that as an extra benefit for an overpopulated nation. Why is this government desperately wanting to lend billions of our dollars to Indian companies that are currently over stretched and whose likelihood of repaying the loans is as remote as planet Pluto

 

Republicans poised for control over Congress

Smaller government means increased security, defence, surveillance welfare policing,  sure doesn't sound small to me. ASIO,AFP,ADF, are departments that are recruiting aren't they? 

Australia is a leading light on this planet that can show the USA the way. Abbott is Moses says our Fred Nile of bloggers Andrew Bolt. Israel is the freest state on this planet according to Bolt.

Two Islamist groups boast of enslaving captured women

Sounds like the start to a joke about "two Aussies". However it's is a joke about one, Andrew Bolt. Stupidity is universal  Bolt you are a perfect example of it when it comes to the media and I presume in life generally. Yes these guys are as stupid as two bogans pissed on a Saturday night ready to party. Sucker punch someone and go slut hunting. They aren't Australians  as much as the guys in the video aren't Islamists. They can call themselves what they want but you give them the racial identity they crave for 1.6 billion Muslims don't. So what does that make you Bolt? I've no doubt when drunk your sons might be like that and when you were young your ego had you bragging you were a belly dancer's minder.  You weren't but you hoped somebody believed it. Just like the fwits in the video.

 

Five staff abandon Ricky Muir’s car

Bolt's mouth was wide open and his lower jaw was touching the ground when he heard this.  Politics is an ugly sport when you don't have the backing and the cast of thousands that the coalition employs. If one adviser leaves or is sacked in the coalition nobody ever hears of it and it's not worth reporting. However it's of deep of interest to people like Bolt. However  ex leaders of the liberal party who have quit the party for moral and ethical reasons get sparse attention. Hewson, Fraser, and..... Poor Ricky the beady eyed Bolts are watching you.

Why the Greens are soft on the Islamic State - and must be resisted, too

 "Communism, fascism, jihadism and even the eco-extremists - all are manifestations of a totalitarian instinct that appeals particularly to the vain, the selfish, the frightened, the romantic, the stupid and the thuggish."

 Bolt upright in front of a mirror talking to his reflected self or listening to it. In Psychology it's simply called projecting. 

As far as Q&A was concerned I did see Sheiks, Imams, women in hijabs and even young men who looked nothing like "converts" asking intelligent questions of George Brandis. Simple questions, questions that have been asked countless times that Brandis wasn't stumped by, easy questions. I doubt if anybody other than Bolt talking to himself in the above manner saw anything more or less in a pretty lame event?

As for Brandis any journalist would be hard pressed to believe that their freedoms haven't been reduced by the new laws. For the sake of security and our safety all our freedoms have been reduced. Government in this country has just got bigger because of that not smaller. However Bolt wont tell us that truth

 

 

  

Treatment guaranteed. Medical volunteers to be sent

 "A more responsible way of responding than the send-and-hope rush-rush" 

Bolt is the man by the neighbours pool watching kids drown ringing 000 for help telling the other  guests to stand back and wait even though they can swim. Bolt saying action needs to be done in a way that we are not legally compromised. Of course kids might drown or Bolt might have a heart attack trying to save them so there needs to be a Dr around as well as a lawyer, so wait.  Like that English guy our PM Bolt claims to be an Australian.

Have any of our SAS troops done anything to help save some 500 of our allies being butchered in Iraq?.  Oh that's not what we are there for is it. Not e to air drop desparately needed weapons or food it's not part of the contract that's taken months to sign. What was all that sabre rattling about....the polls!!

Bolt's Bog 24/10/14, Andrew Bolt reall a grub screw, Coalition saves Whitlam's birthplace and screws a Chinese investor, Bolt hates Islam Abbott courts it,

 

 

No, not a parody. ABC presenter wants Whitlam memorial

Such a brave blogger. Who was the presenter that dared have people call in with comedic comment? Did you see that Guy the MP for planning in Victoria has stopped the destruction of the house in Kew. I feel for the investor who paid $3.3million and now has a half demolished house and a foreign investment nightmare on his hands. Is the coalition trying to buy votes in Kew? Your side Bolt.

News Corps tribute to Whitlam

 

More women enslaved by Boko Haram

Yes extreme groups do exist.

 What was Tony Abbott doing in Indonesia this week making friends with 300 mill ++ Muslims?He was advocating closer military ties as Joko was advocating a much larger navy. Is your side as two faced as you?

 

Palmer scrambles for members, dead or alive

Democracy in action you just wish it was Labour

Bolt's Bog 22/10/14 Ultra Racist, No silent moment for the dead here, No bipatisan moment among this News Corp lot of Trolls, RIP Gough

 

Barry Humphries defends Barry Spurr and “some poor guy” from the cultural fascists

Andrew Bolt  Name Dropper extraordinaire who lunches with "Barry" Humphries in Sth Yarra and is on a first term name with him must have been near suicidal to see Barry keeping their relationship a secret.

 "Not long ago some poor guy was actually prosecuted for saying that the Aboriginal welfare services were sometimes exploited by faux Aborigines, even though we knew it was true."

Unfortunately Humphries read the Murdoch stable rag back then as well, The Australian. The Ergas blog was a whitewash faux news about BarrySpurr. Humphries mistook the Ergas's blog as  news   and swallowed it hook line and sinker  that Sydney University was attacking a would be comedian rather than an embarassing racist who'd tried to keep his dark secret in the closet for two years or more.
 Spurr's emails are akin to the secrect missels of paedophiles, terrorists, sexually perverse priests etc Ergas & Bolt say that privacy between consenting adults makes them acceptable . Why pray tell do we have ASIO and AFP security taking away computers  on the mere basis of "chatter" or private phone calls between two people? Bolt is always pointing  at persons who threaten the minds of us innocents.
As for  Andrew Bolt he definitely has a Messiah complex or suffers badly from delusions of grandeur which his readers have always known but couple that with his depression about his past convictions the man seems seriously bipolar and in need of help.

Plibersek vs Bishop

Bolt riding on the back of one of his  stablemates Janet Albrechtsen. Paid for no work. Isn't that welfare or has he just taken a "sickie" No the man has a free paid week off in Supreme Court. Must be working from behind the defendant's desk to cobble this non blog together while the News Corp legal brigade are doing the work. 

Is the Herald Sun trying to influence this case? It seems to be the only paper that deems it newsworthy telling us the judge was reluctant to bring it to trail that it could have been mediated. Who was the stubborn one then David or Goliath? We know Bolt offered a private apology but refused a public one. Shows just what a self-serving egoist he is.

 

Among the hero worship, these sharp truths about Gough Whitlam

Again no work all pay what work conditions Bolt has, not those of the average Joe he claims to be speaking to when he is on the job.  

He has however joined the cheer squad for the muckrakers who can't wait for a post funeral analysis. Opportunists who want to dance on the body, be the first in boots and all. News Corp slag eager to please their master, trolls. Spittle who want to raise John Kerr on their shoulders if they had any and declare him as the true hero of the story. These same arseholes who blame the Senate and Labour for today's Coalition budget problems happily overlook that the Coalition then witheld supply .

Amazing these same News Corp hacks will rush to praise Fraser after he's gone even though they and the party hate the man as much as they do Whitlam today. Mean men  who hate the idea that for a moment in time we can actually be bipartisan and for a moment silent. 

We had a more equitable society back then.

 

Group hug. Public excluded

"No work today" is Bolt's song but he still get's the milk ( Beatles)

“A Giant of a Man”. Yes he was indeed.

 

In his book “Crash through or Crash”, Laurie Oakes said this:

In his brief three years the Prime Minister produced profound and lasting changes – reforms which could not have been so broadly conceived and so firmly implemented by a lesser man. The Whitlam Government without doubt was the most creative and innovatory in the nation’s history. Under Whitlam, Australia’s foreign policy came of age. His Government made education its top priority and poured money into schools and colleges throughout the country. It created Medibank, set up community health centres, gave a new deal to pensioners, took an active role in urban improvement and development, provided funds directly to local government, and gave a healthy boost to sexual equality and aboriginal advancement. It promoted greater Australian ownership and control of resources, legislated against restrictive trade practices, introduced the most civilised and sensible divorce laws in the world, gave encouragement to the arts, and in its final budget implemented some fundamental reforms which made the income tax system considerably more equitable. Whitlam himself dominated both his party and the Parliament, and he commanded respect when he travelled overseas in a way no previous Australian Prime Minister had done.

His record:
1. ended Conscription,
2. withdrew Australian troops from Vietnam,
3. implemented Equal Pay for Women,
4. launched an Inquiry into Education and the Funding of Government and Non-government Schools on a Needs Basis,
5. established a separate ministry responsible for Aboriginal Affairs,

20. established the Legal Aid Office,

37. created Telecom and Australia Post to replace the Postmaster-General’s Department,
38. devised the Order of Australia Honors System to replace the British Honors system,
39. abolished appeals to the Privy Council,
40. changed the National Anthem to ‘Advance Australia Fair’,

RIP Gough Whitlam.
