Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsABC, SBS no longer have public purpose — Maurice Newman, The Australian
The media, particularly the ABC and SBS, have played a significant role in easing the way for the left’s control of the economy’s commanding heights, those critical sectors that dominate economic activity — electricity generation, heavy manufacturing, mining, and transportation. Climate science has been shamelessly exploited to this end. To the totalitarians, public broadcasters are valuable allies and they religiously court them through direct contact with producers, presenters and management and, via organisations like Friends of the ABC.
Labor’s Plan To Kill Coal Fired Power — SMH
Don’t you just love the euphemism, the deployment and use of the word “transition” and “transitioning.” It’s much more clinical and much easier to deal with transitioning than the crude, “unemployed” “thrown out of work” or “thrown under the bus”
Hello Angry Losers — Pat Condell
Love this guy. Pat Condell on the Lear jet and limousine elites of Europe. The beauty of his commentary is that you can weave the elites vs deplorables of Australia or anywhere into his narrative as well.
It’s the same the world over..
The War Against Reality — American Thinker
Another word for this aberration is progressivism. The method it has adopted to achieve its goal is to abjure common sense – that is, the acknowledgement of psychological, biological, historical, and physical facts, and to substitute a series of phantoms that consort with desire, not reality.
Random Note #187,523 — NSW Bi-elections
Looks like the Libs have got themselves another couple of wringing wet, 20 or 30 something, time serving empty suits and factional hacks, one of which has difficulty with the truth, in North Sydney and Manly and who haven’t a clue about anything and believe in nothing.
The Frankfurt School: Western Subversion by Design
Once you can understand what The Frankfurt School was all about you can get a firm grip on Cultural Marxism (political correctness) and where it came from. The tragedy with this kind of thing is that there would not be a single politician in Canberra or Macquarie Street with any idea about any of this stuff.
Not one.
Bad day for racism as Rachel Dolezal changes ethnicity — Caroline Overington — The Australian
Rachel Dolezal is apparently quite within her rights to identify as a black, but the beauty of that is that we in turn have the right to say what we see when Rachel’s frizzed-up head comes zooming into view. Which is: you’re a fraud, Rachel. An offensive fraud, and a white one, to boot.
Suspension of reality — The Liberals are in denial. Its just a flesh wound
Do not adjust your set. All you need to know about how worthless this Liberal Party, in-house exercise in existential naval gazing is, is contained in the first sentence. “The team reviewing the Turnbull government’s calamitous election campaign were given strict instructions not to focus on the PM’s own performance”. This denial and suspension of reality, this post truth, is worthy of the Monty Python, Black Knight, “it’s just a flesh wound” sketch.
From the Andrew Bolt blog — Mark Latham vs Adam Goodes: A Study In Hypocrisy
Mark Latham was so bemused by pro-feminism video in which a Year 12 school captain spoke as if he was woman that he joked that he first thought the boy was gay.
Adam Goodes singled out a 13-year-old girl from a broken home as the “face” of Australian “racism”. Now compare what happened to both men
RN’s Andrew West skewers Ayaan Hirsi Aly critic with her own words
You’ve never heard so much slippin’ & slidin’ & double speak in your life. Andrew West, very much to his credit on Radio National’s Religion and Ethics Report, nails one of the female critics of Ayaan Hirsi Aly, Hanna Assafiri with her own words and skewers her coming and going. Assafiri was one of the women behind the online petition opposing the visit..
