Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsJust What Is The ASIO Boss Smoking — Miranda Devine, Sunday Telegraph
Some people, many perhaps, spend too much time in the bureaucratic bubble and only read what’s put in front of them by underlings. People like the head of ASIO, Duncan Lewis for example.
So intoxicated by the politically correct Kool Aid is he, that his ignorance of cold hard facts and stats is not just naïve and appalling but quite frankly, dangerous. Like others inside the bubble, how does he expect to be on top of or solve the problem when he refuses to acknowledge that the problem even exists?
Chris Kenny gets to the meat and potatoes — Now Is Not The Time To Blame The Victims, The Australian
We empower the ignorant, amplify the superficial and elevate the attention-seekers. Sanctimony is applauded, Western culture derided and the lessons of history forgotten in less time than it takes to tap out 140 characters. And we wonder why we are losing our way. It has been a depressing week. Yet again innocent bodies were torn to pieces in a murder-suicide terror attack; the victims included an eight-year-old girl and mothers waiting lovingly for their children. In Britain — and here — the sanctimonious lecture us not to get angry; not to overstate the threat of the horror. It is nauseating.
Random Note #187,692 — Brussels boiling frogs
Brussels is the host of the NATO conference this weekend and is Jihadi franchise central for terrorism in Europe but these boiling frogs and all round euro-cretins see fit to march and rally in protest against Donald Trump.
ABC boss Michelle Guthrie demands apology from Quadrant — Chris Kenny, The Australian
If you want to talk about “sick and unhinged” Michelle Guthrie, last weeks rehashing by your ABC of “Troughman” from the Sydney gay scene in the 1980’s is a good place to start. Troughman’s trick was to visit gay bars, lay in the urinal and allow patrons to urinate on him.
Seems pretty cut and dried and above board — The Letters That Clear Trump: Andrew Bolt
The chain of letters starting from Deputy Attorney General Rob Rosenstein that led to the sacking destroy the conspiracy theory. They make crystal clear that Trump haters were actually right the first time – back during the election campaign – when they insisted Comey had trashed the reputation of the FBI by his handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server for her official emails.
James Delingpole — Penises Cause Climate Change; Progressives Fooled by Peer-Reviewed Hoax Study
The fact that such complete drivel was published in a social science journal, the hoaxers argue, raises serious questions about the value of fields like gender studies and the state of academic publishing generally
Hillary Kremlin — Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal: New York Times
The latest Time Magazine has arrived. Don’t know why I bother with it really. But again, it’s worth asking the question: Given Hillary’s Russian connections and her pay for play, would they have done likewise if she had won the White House? Dumb question, I know.

Some Perspective
Media’s choice is between truth and propaganda: Jennifer Oriel — The Australian
No matter what else you read today THIS would have to be the read of the day. If you never understood the phrase “The Long March Through The Institutions” (and the media is one of the key, institutions) the overt manifestation of the orchestrated media campaign over the last 6 months, culminating in the last 10 days, is exhibit A.
“…We know how Donald Trump’s presidency will end. The process is familiar. It begins with a politician elected by the people to introduce secure border and rational immigration policies that benefit the national interest. Said politician is conservative and patriotic. He is Christian. He is proud of his culture: Western culture. The PC establishment despises him. The left media class undermines him. A mob of wreckers forms to destabilise his government. The wrecking crew comprises faceless men who leak to the press with impunity; publicly funded activist networks in the media, academia and NGOs; supranationalist organisations such as the UN and EU; and professional protesters. If Donald Trump wants to know what is coming, he should study the rise and fall of Tony Abbott…”
Monica Crowley unloads
Now the fake media have desperately latched on to a casual aside and are trying to peddle the line that Trump is in the pay of Putin. Again, they miss the point. He’s independently wealthy, a billionaire who doesn’t need to be in the pay of anyone and doesn’t even draw down his Presidential salary.
