“If the current approach of telling everyone to stay home is to be lifted, widespread and faster testing will be needed to identify infected people for isolation. Easing stay-at-home orders in the absence of sufficient testing would risk reigniting the outbreak.”
The question is: Where were WHO, NIH, CDC, health ministers, prime ministers, presidents? Why did the leadership of the Western World sit on its hands for three months? Has history ever experienced a worse and more complete failure of leadership?
Leadership is absent, because the West has been organized to serve private selfish interests with agendas inimical to the public interest. The People accepted lies and deception, and now we are paying the price.

Lawsuit Says Fox News Shared False Information on ...

www.thewrap.com › fox-news-coronavirus-lawsuit

1 day ago - Fox News is facing intense scrutiny for its initial coverage of the coronavirus pandemic and a lawsuit filed in Washington is asking a state court to bar the network from sharing false information about the pandemic. The top-rated network was sued Thursday by the Washington League ...
 Some Fox News Media opinion hosts have been dismissive of the dangers of the coronavirus, especially in the virus’ earlier days in America. Former Fox Business host Trish Regan, for instance, described it as another effort to impeach President Donald Trump. She and her network parted ways at the end of March.
Fox News — which Thursday gave $1 million to Feeding America in a joint donation with Facebook designed to ease the strain of the pandemic — began implementing work-from-home strategies for employees in mid-March, ramping up efforts to keep employees home as the virus spread. Hosts who still appeared in the studio started sitting six feet apart and the tone of coverage started to change as Fox News added two additional doctors to its roster of contributors.

FAKE NEWS 

PLEASE ACCEPT SUCCESS: VIRUS DOWN TO CRAWL, EMPTY BEDS

COLUMN Who can now deny it? The worst is not happening with the coronavirus and our politicians must tell us their exit strategy. Three weeks ago newspapers declared: “Australia prepares for 50,000 to 150,000 deaths.” Two weeks ago, they shouted: “Australian ICU beds to run out by April 5.”  But look 35 deaths as of this morning and lots of empty beds.

1h ago 

Please accept success planet Australia is now safe the government can let go and we can now go back to the privatised normal we once had. Pity about the planet Earth we are on. There is no "back to privatised normal" Andrew Bolt' Going back today can be readily seen as" abnormal". The abnormal that allowed us to witness the fact the planet is suffering a pandemic and the West and Capitalism can't cope on a large scale and Australia is just a part of it. The planet is burning and Bolt talks as if he's no "we" are not on it. 

The 1% of Oligarchs lost control and they and their association the IPA want it back to the pre-pandemic control of working Australia it would seem. If we all went back to work and lived Bolt's and their dream our economy would be saved halleluja.

Which industries do he and the IPA regard as essential to go back to? How many workers do they need? their executives or their serfs?  Why do they believe they won't have been and won't continue to be affected by this global pandemic causing a halt to world trade? Furthermore, is Bolt suggesting companies to employ all the workers laid off or let supply and demand choose?  How many will be called and how many remain unemployed. Bolt has certainly been living in "isolation" hasn't he? In a dream world divorced from reality that things will go back to the "abnormal" and as they were. He and his association with the total want of the IPA is certainly a voice from Cloud Cuckoo Land. No logistics simply give business private control back and stop this unwanted government interference and over costly socialism expansion interfering with the previously "rigged" system. He's even begging.

12% FALL IN VICTORIANS SICK RIGHT NOW AS VIRUS SPREAD SLOWS TO 2%

So when can we discuss an exit strategy from these devastating bans?: "As at 6:00am on 6 April 2020, there have been 5,744 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Australia. There have been 109 new cases since 6:00am yesterday." That's just 2 per cent more new cases.  Take away recoveries, and Victoria now has 72 fewer sick people than last Wednesday.

1h ago 

How pushy is Bolt with selective facts taken out of context while he works from home? How may times a week has Bolt been comprehensively tested or even the medical staff on the front line? How many Australians have been tested? Bolt asked that question once to prove how little COVID death there is in Australia and that we don't know! Now he selling a tale that tests aren't really necessary because he has the evidence to extrapolate what's unknown.  News Corp has laid staff off and is practising Social- Distancing. Bolt isn't accusing them of overreach. But he is demanding everyone else needs to drop bans set by this suddenly dangerous expanding Socialist Government. Is he frightened he'll be shut down on a show that can't be run or secure on failing advertising and an NBN that can't cope? 
What this pandemic is a realisation of is the Oligarchy's shit scared of losing ground. It reveals Privatisation simply can't deal with the common good only self-interest. Self -interest, in this case, was the well laid out 75 point plan set down by the Oligarchy and presented by their Association the IPA. The policies developed with Howard then adhered to by Abbott and the LNP when they came to power. They adopted that 75pt plan with the full backing of  Murdoch Media and the financial power so obvious in that "miracle election" of $80 Mill vs $20 Morrison won.   How the fuck did that happen it wasn't a "hallelujah" that's for sure.

Global? There is nothing global about anti-internationalists and assimilationists like Andrew Bolt. Australia isn't a separate planet. There is nothing that unifies the common good globally than a pandemic and more so Climate Change and the planet-warming. There is no greater threat than economics run by an International Corporate Magi of tax avoiders. Get back to work their current cry but even that today doesn't even mean everyone. If we do see an unemployment spike after a return Bolt will become the voice of the apologist for why people had to lose their jobs, the overreach.

 News Corp and Sky will have been changed they won't escape self-examination but changed for whose benefit? Will they really need Andrew Bolt? They are already being sued in the USA as they once were in the UK for misinformation and irresponsible and fake journalism causing harm. Do they need the IPA as Fox needs Citizens United? Or does the LNP need them both as donors and propagandists? To grab the Australian narrative they need to rid us of the ABC and they have been working on that for over two decades.

No mention here as to why the epidemiological certainty of the age group affected by COVID is changing that younger people are contracting the illness. Nothing about the failure of logic and the practical inability found efforts of herd immunity to solve the contagion now advocated by Andrew Bolt in order to loosen government controls. No mention of a News Corp staff revolt against the practice of social- distancing at Murdoch Media. While Andrew Bolt's advocating the opposite for others to stop. It's called media hypocrisy in the service of profit. Don't do what it is you expect others to.

ABBOTT: I WILL STAY TO FIX WHAT TURNBULL BREAKS

Tony Abbott won't quit: "Abbott has told colleagues he is determined to stay in politics until Malcolm Turnbull is gone, promising he will be there to help pick up the pieces 'when' the Prime Minister’s leadership falls apart." Meanwhile, the the Liberal Right demands Turnbull demote Christopher Pyne - or risk demotion himself.

 That's the promise of "personal revenge" talking "Tony Abbott has told colleagues he is determined to stay in politics until Malcolm Turnbull is gone, promising he will be there to help pick up the pieces “when” the Prime Minister’s leadership falls apart."Abbott

 There isn't a single note humility or change in that sentiment. However, remember Bolt running around like headless chook telling us he got the message and has changed he promised me he'd changed!! "Liberal MPs are pressing Malcolm Turnbull to strip Christopher Pyne of his position as Leader of the House."Andrew Probyn. Might they be the MPs from the Monkey Pod room? God talk about people caught talking with loose lips they are calling for Dutton Mr. Boomgate to take Pyne's place. Was Dutton ever punished?"A minister told the ABC that Mr. Pyne, who is Defence Industry Minister, should be replaced as Leader of the House, perhaps by Peter Dutton." Probyn Why do these people always remain unnamed? It goes to show however the ABC isn't as biased to the left as Bolt makes out it's who Probyn works for.

As for Catholics and Education, the Catholic Authorities admitted their opposition to Gonski was little more than an ambit claim tactic and they were pleased with the result. Pyne was right all along. Mr. Nope Nope Nope lives in the dark recesses of the Liberal Party.
 

The Former Prime Minister Is Now Ripping Off Donald Trump To Undermine The Current Prime Minister

#MAWA?!?!

CNN ADMITS: PUSHES ANTI-TRUMP "BULLS..T" FOR RATINGS

CNN confesses to making yet more 'mistakes' in savaging Trump. And a CNN producer is caught on tape admitting its claims of Trump colluding with Russia is "mostly bulls..t" that it's pushing to get better ratings. The media war on Trump is a disgrace and a danger.

  The Battle between FOX Breitbart and CNN. Unless Bolt knows what the FBI has discovered he knows nothing. Breitbart is known for fake news and Fox is out to defend it's favored position with Trump any which way it can. Fox News has become Trump News and we know what that means for the truth. Media is a rating game in the US and they rue the fact that they don't have an Independent News Service created such as the ABC. Ratings have little or nothing to do with truth as we fully well know with our daily experience with Andrew Bolt. News Corp is the least trusted disseminator of News in Australia. All we have here is to liars warring with each other. Thank god we have Aunty.
The origins of Bolt's story and media war was sparked by Jame's Okeefe whose reputation is explained  here  James O’Keefe’s latest attempt to expose CNN is a sad, attention-seeking mess blog June 27, 2017 5:43 PM EDT
and the Trump administration has lauded with the support of FOX and News Corp. When Andrew Bolt promotes himself as educated at Adelaide University when in fact he dropped out ofailed after first year and declares his Bookk as one actually put out by the IPA and edited by Alan Moran in which Bolt merely has an article. What kind of journalist/commentator are we expected to think  he really is?
 
" Viewers will probably believe what they hear, though: a CNN staffer with no involvement in CNN’s political coverage (this isn’t mentioned in the video) speculating casually about CNN’s reporting on Trump’s possible involvement with Russia. The video also showed the same CNN producer claiming CNN makes reporting decisions based on ratings, a shameful tactic that’s really no secret at all -- and one that doesn't account for warranted, extensive reporting on an undeniably important story."
O’Keefe’s videos often fall flat and rarely match their billings. He has had to issue public apologies, been arrested for trespassing, and foiled his own plots, yet his videos have been promoted by the president of the United States. O’Keefe also regularly incites his loyal internet followers to practice their own brand of “investigative journalism.”
His latest attempt -- a nearly nine-minute video called “American Pravda: CNN Producer Says Russia Narrative “bullsh*t" -- is yet another sign that O’Keefe has no actual interest in reporting the truth, but instead produces video art projects for the sole purpose of getting attention from one of his biggest fans, President Donald Trump.

KENNETT: LEADERSHIP CRISIS, DISASTER LOOMS

Former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett: "I fear that over the next 12 months we will see the greatest shrinkage of industry, not only in Victoria but in Australia. I fear we are heading for a social and economic disaster." 

  The privatized energy sector has been a disaster the gas we have has been sold and now the Liberals are calling for the state control of the gas supply. Isn't that the core value the Liberals deny the socialization of energy? Seems to me we need to socialize many more things that the Liberals  Sate and Commonwealth refuse to consider.

 Bolt doesn't explicitly say he stole this story from Fairfax does he?

IT'S WHO YOU KNOW

I greatly respect Bachar Houli, but this is a poor look: "A character reference from Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and media advocate Waleed Aly persuaded the AFL tribunal that Bachar Houli was of such character that they halved his penalty for knocking out Carlton's Jed Lamb."

When Bolt was found guilty of vilification and was due to be sentenced he had the full force of News Corp behind him both financially and as a character reference as well no doubt. Waleed Aly is a member of the Richmond football club and entitled to stand up for Houli, so is Andrew Bolt it's noted that Bolt wasn't asked to provide any reference for Houli and it's clear that if asked he wouldn't have. However last year he was praising him as if he were a pet dog and telling us Houli was an exception among Muslims a well bred one a reference it wasn't because it came from Bolt. It may as well have come from Pauline or the leader of the UPF.

Now given Houli wasn't facing the judiciary but the AFL tribunal and given Turnbull knows what Houli does for the community outside of football Bolt seems extremely petty and small minded ,just point scoring knowing full well he doesn't pass the character test of most Australians. Respect is raised for those that don't stand up for him, not those that do and what a minority they are. 

 

REFUGEE PROGRAM BRINGS US BARBER-SHOP BRAWL

Immigration is changing Australia in disturbing ways: "A mass brawl involving 15 youths took place in a barber shop in Melbourne’s inner-west... The majority of them are of Somalian or African appearance." 

"If they are Somalian, they or their parents were almost certainly brought here as refugees."Bolt

Accusative with the admission he doesn't know. However, it reminds me of the photo of Bolt the brawler in Carlton. He attacked 2 young pranksters that glittered him. I don't think people in glass houses should throw stones. Here is the warning Bolt ignored Heart surgeon dies month after alleged one-punch assault

 

PYNE WAS "ALWAYS" FOR THE GAY MARRIAGE HE OPPOSED

How trustworthy is Christopher Pyne? Here is Pyne on Monday: "I’m in favor of marriage equality, I always have been." Here is Pyne in 2015: "I think that same-sex couples who are in that situation should be in a position to have some legal basis for their relationship and that’s why I’ve changed my view about (marriage equality)."

 Conflating such two disconnected issues. One same-sex marriage a human rights issue against who at this point in time should be our team leader. A tactical issue in the game of politics. With a third issue if and when a change is forced who would you prefer as leader a question of conscience. None of these have anything to do with "loyalty" after all Pyne wasn't married to Abbott or in any other way connected other than they were both members of a "broad church" Pyne fought tooth and nail to get Abbott elected and it's good to note he wasn't just his lap dog.
If No Religion is Australia's greatest Census category of faith coupled with Non Christian religions how can we deem to be a Christian Country rather than simply a Secular one?

  "No Religion" Is Now Australia's Number One Religion

  It seems people like Bolt  have just been Bulls..tting us and Christianity ought to be taken out of our school curriculums or religious teaching should be turned into comparative religious studies. Further what we are confronting is not a religious issue but a Human Rights issue with regard equality. It highlights the fact that Australia remains the only Democratic Country in the world without a Bill of Rights and why we sorely need the AHRC

THE SMELL OF ROT AT YOUNG LIBERALS BALL

How terminal are the Liberals? Ben Garran describes a recent Young Liberals function: "Acrobats dangled from the ceiling... Michael Photios, a power broker in the NSW Libs, declared to the Young Liberals, ... they 'all belong to a political class that will be the master class.'"  And, of course, Photios mocked attempts to defend free speech. 

Abbott's Conservatives attacking their own but don't have the balls to split. It seems there are no conservatives among the young Liberals and feels as if those in the Monkey Pod apse of the otherwise broad church are the ISIS of the Liberal Party and Australia. They are like broken eggs in a carton on the nose.

A Real Invasion and they weren't Africans

 

AFRICANS INVADE ITALY

The invasion of Europe continues: "On Tuesday, 8,500 African migrants are reaching Italian shores aboard 14 different ships, adding to the 5,000 who arrived on Monday... Figures for the year now stand at 73,380 migrants into Italy, or a rise of 14.42 percent over the same period in 2016." 

   

Bolt fails to mention the massive reduction that took place in Europe in 2016 compared to 2015. Nor doe he mention these aren't permanent but asylum seekers to be assessed. Yes Bolt is crying like Chicken Little in Europe which e can't fix  or do anything about because Europe's elections were basically all won by moderates. This isn't information this is merely shit stirring in order to print that the conservatives stopped it here which isn't the case either. The boats had stopped coming under Labor  when Abbott was refusing a deal with Malaysia which became a farce executed by him with Cambodia. The world in fact turned their backs on the man down under telling them what they ought to do. Has anybody noticed that Bolt has a strong apartheid attitude when it comes to Africans a Boer Afrikaner attitude as opposed to a British one

 

SHOULD ABBOTT BY PM?: ALAN JONES VS JEFF KENNETT

Former Premier Jeff Kennett and many Liberal MPs and journalists say Tony Abbott cannot come back as Prime Minister. Alan Jones and many Liberal supporters say only Abbott can win. Listen here.

  Bolt is Bolt illiterate look at this banner?

Who said Abbott was a loyal back stabber oops, backbench-er. Who said they didn't want to raise Abbott from the grave. Andrew Bolt said it and Tony Abbott said it he wasn't Caesar. If you believe this  bullshit why on earth would you even acknowledge the possibility of having the Aussie Trump back. I say Aussie Trump because while he can't match the bling he matches the lies even to himself.

A magazine with Trump on the cover hangs in his golf clubs. It's a fake

Their common denominator that links them and their lies together is and always has been News Corp.

Without accesss to the link this access this blog makes little sense. Unless Bolt is merely publicizing it to ensure IS do see it after all we know he'd prefer them not to come back. Hanged on his dingo fence.

Hockey wins defamation case against Fairfax

It would appear as is always the case Hockey will have won very little and his lawyers a lot. However how is it Andrew Bolt's cases remain a secret or was it the fact that deals were struck. We know for a fact two cases brought against him he lost.

One of these men is a leader

 "Coalition loses ground to Labor in five main states, poll analysis shows"

Abbott certainly did lead without regard for Indonesia. Even if it meant entering Indonesian waters and becoming uninvited vessels ourselves when we towed boats and people back. What a diplomat Abbott was when Indonesia cried foul Abbott lied and said our advanced navy had got lost. We never really did hear what the end result of that farce was as domestically it was an "on water matter" and all transparancy had been removed from us the good  citzens of Australia on the pretext we didn't want to help people smugglers.

So to avoid a repetition Abbott in complete secrecy paid people smugglers those we didn't want to help to take asylum seekers back. When sprung he lied and said the Labour government had done the same. A lie the Gillard and Rudd governments had never paid smugglers to return their cargo back to Indonesia which in fact was an act of people smuggling in itself breaking Australian and International laws.

As for people drowning Bowen had an arrangement to stop boats and transfer people to Malaysia a country whose conditions were so far better than PNG and Nauru. Abbott outright refused this policy and continued to have people drown rather than pass that Bill only to adopt the same policy but under inhumane conditions. Yes who is this tyrannical leader Bolt thinks we had to have. He doesn't sound Australian to me.

Same sex marriage Ireland , USA "it's up to them"

 'As for our own country, obviously there's a community debate going on ... I have views on the subject which are pretty well known and they haven't changed,' Abbott says. Will he allow it to be "up to us?"

Feral culture

Link  Newscorp

What was that quote said by Bolt 2 days ago " don't judge the many by the few" ? One might ask what he meant by that. 3 days for the police to arrive at a party that neighbours didn't complain about until the Palmy Army arrived.? 

Everyone seems to know who the Palmy Army are so it should be an easy job to round up the hoons who flared up simply  because they were asked to leave. News.com .au seems to ignore their involvement and focuses  on the victims. They didn't destroy their own house. The Newscorp churnalists don't even ask why all the attention is being given the family and not the deviant 17 year old asked to leave who returned with his army of hoons. Why did a party go on for "3 days" without complaint? Obviously there was none and maybe it was quite and civilized. Is it the domestic that titillated Newscorp? It certainly didn't read as violent. Pathetic and sensationalized reporting might go a long way to explain the gaps. The Palmy Army should have been an easy find.

How feminism has fallen

Link Bevis Tim Blair

Butthead Bolt turns  to Bevis another Newscorp crier when he thinks a joke is in order as he just can't make people laugh. A favorite topic are women and you can bet Bolt more than sniggers yet in public he calls others out like Zacky M for the same thing.

 Blair obviously has nor respect for privacy and like all arseholes reveals Clementines private emails to him. Given Tim Blair's past record however why would anybody believe him Clementine wasn't serious. You can hear Butthead Bolt rolling around the floor with laughter as he did when he heard about Zacky's tweet about the 2 female journos.

 

  Clementine may struggle to understand; she has problems with complicated law-talkin’ stuff.
Our favourite Fairfax columnist is far more comfortable screeching on Twitter like a crazy person:

Nice piece in Tim Blair’s blog about my so-called hypocrisy. Tim, I’m never going to sleep with you – get over me.
I’m guessing the point is that he’s got a giant woody for me and can’t come to terms with it.
Tim Blair must be an incredibly sad and lonely man if this is the way he gets his jollies. Pathetic.
Srsly, is there anything sadder than a middle aged man obsessed with the activities of younger women online?
The really sad thing is that News Corp is so bereft of ideas and talent that they pay Tim Blair to write a daily blog about his misogyny.

Wow. All that (and much more) just for quoting Ford’s own words. Imagine how much angrier Clementine would be if I blamed her for words written by someone else.

Will Steffen demonstrates how to hide a decline

IQ  of the two men totals zero Bolt and Carter see polls as science and science as religion and religion as politics. They simply don't know what is what in the zoo. If polling is science here's science according to them below

Nick Carter and Bolt agrees equates simple arithmetic as science methadology. Turning the lounge room light on is s god given gift.

 "This insight into Steffen’s methodology may cause us to look afresh at his startling claims about climate change and his forecasts for the end of the world as we know it."

 Morgan has Labor on 53.5 percent, two party preferred, down 1 percent from a fortnight ago. Such a vote would give Labor a majority of thirty-eight or forty seats. 

Labor is ahead in every state — South Australia 57 percent, Queensland 54 percent, New South Wales 53.5 percent (the result perhaps of the housing crisis and Hockey’s response to it), Western Australia 53 percent — except for Tasmania where the vote was 50-50.

Q&A is not sorry at all, and the ABC won’t reform

Link Gerard Henderson,

Bolt's in one breathe rant on the ABC starts with a distortion

" its vast state-supplied resources" The lie's of Murdoch media are all pervasive and simply pollute reality. The ABC is publicly funded not state funded as Bolt keeps repeating

Bolt accuses the ABC saying Mallah was given a platform he wasn't he was allowed to ask a civilized question about the topic on hand.  Steve Ciobo responded with an inflammatory and deprecatory response which initiated a response from the audience unappreciative of the junior minister's reply which on any account was out of order and possibly illegal.

Bolt claims

"Mallah a platform, and particularly a platform to attack the Government." Mallah did not attack the government he attacked and responded to Steve Ciobo's disgraceful and personal attack. What Bolt and Newscorp fail to do is to even discuss what Mallah does represent. Mallah in fact supports this government against IS and sympathizes with the same terrorist group Jabat al Nusra that's strategically supported by Abbott as part of the US lead coalition. That's something you wont hear from Bolt. Bolt and Abbott are in fact breaking Section 18C in their vilification of Mallah using a collection of loose facts and lies. A week prior Abbott praised the ABC and Lateline for having a so called "terrorist " sympathizer on that show indicating just how this is little more than a game of politics.

Bolt and Abbott have also broken UNHCR conventions on political and human rights simply for prejudicing Mallah for a past conviction one that occurred 11 years ago. They too have convictions against them but don't suffer the same discrimination. Abbott was also accused of sexual molestation far worse than just a misogynist tweet. The only purpose of this excercise is some political poll dancing. This whole issue is a manufactured distraction and beat up to take political heat off Abbott's whose had yet another week of  non performance in government.

"The Abbott Government is now presented with the truth: the ABC is not apologetic and will not fix its unlawful bias. So what to do about it?"

As with everything else Bolt suggests hold a referendum on dismantling the ABC. Let the people speak. Maybe a commission needs to be held on our media laws and why Newscorp controls 66% of our print media and runs it at a loss? It could coincide into a bribery investigation and the Liberal Party's close association with the Calabrian Mafia. It would be more revealing than the current investigation into the unions. What is the difference between a donation and a bribe?
