Idle Thought, Random Note — Extraordinary Popular Delusions And The Madness Of Crowds, Charles Mackay
Next time you hear or read about the hysteria of climate change and the shakedown/scam of carbon trading, remember this book written in 1841....None of this stuff is new. Previous generations have been there before and got stung and cleaned out!!! This brief review...
Islam shouldn’t be an exception — Paul Monk, The Australian
“..Over the past week, the organisation hosting her — Think Inc — has been harassed. Its insurers have been contacted and warned there could be trouble. Venues where she is scheduled to speak have been contacted, warned there will be protests and urged to cancel her engagements. Bill Leak, were he still with us, would have had a field day with this. The Muslim Brotherhood, the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, all powerful international organisations, see her as a dangerous enemy and are determined to silence her..”
Bill Leak: doublespeak at freethinker trial — Jennifer Oriel, The Australian
“…Section 18C is an act of violence against those who tell the truth. It is, as the slow torture of Bill Leak revealed, a totalitarian tool fashioned by bullies determined to punish creative geniuses who refuse to toe the PC party line. Since the PC class cannot compete with creative genius on merit, it seeks to destroy it…”
With Friends Like Laura Tingle — Quadrant Online
In August last year, using taxpayers money, The Feed (on SBS) broadcast what it modestly billed as “the most sublime takedown of Bill Leak’s racist cartoon”. This piece starred the aforementioned Humphries and his “limbo” sidekick, Jan Fran — limbo as in “leftoid bimbo”. Their superficial analysis and smug ignorance demonstrated in the clip below is astonishing. Watch and wonder why, two days after Leak’s death, Insiders chose to promote this particular, er, humourist. Be sure to watch the youtube clip right to the very end, when normally they would throw back to Barry Cassidy. It will leave you ashamed and disgusted to think that this stuff is taxpayer funded
The Left Left Leak — Quadrant Online
This brings me back to Bill. Here is someone who had to pick up sticks and move home for bravely drawing a picture of Mohammed. Bravely, because Islamic barbarians have a record of killing people for doing just that; as they threatened to do on this occasion.My God, when exactly did we arrive at the point in Australia of ho-humming this alien barbarity in our very midst?”
The Arabs Know that the Moslem Brotherhood are Terrorists — American Thinker
“..Right now the Trump administration is considering whether to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, which sounds to Arab ears like “Is the Pope Catholic?” Do the Saudis play double games?” “Are the mullahs of Iran really genocidal?” The answer is Yes! Yes! and Yes Which is why even Saudi Arabia, Russia, Syria, Bahrain, and the UAE have officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror group. One of biggest on the Sunni side of the street.””
Obamas Snowflakes — American Thinker
“..Jobs for radicals was Obama’s major jobs initiative: get progressives hired on campus, where they recruit thousands of young people, encouraging vulnerable kids to major in grievance studies, then use threats and funds from the federal government, and campus agitation to require more hiring of grievance professors and staff, more power for the hard left.
The transformation of our campuses into Orwellian safe spaces for snowflakes did not happen spontaneously. There was a snow machine behind it all. Obama’s Department of Education. Obama has announced he will devote his efforts to OFA. They have staffed up and opened 250 offices nationwide. Expect more black-masked, violent “protestors” assaulting democracy as we know it – supported by approving press releases from Obama. The hard left has become a political force in America, with our angry snowflakes as the shock troops. Obama plans for OFA to churn out 2 million millennial agitators..”
An Age of Decrepitude — Quadrant Online
This is a seriously, excellent read from beginning to end about the demise of The Age and The SMH. “..How could a once very good newspaper fall so low? The financial squeeze of recent years has affected it severely, but there is much more at work. In a few words, it is over-managed and under-edited, puts process before product—a common complaint about management everywhere—and, worst of all, it is bizarrely politically correct. Politically correct in this context means censoring the news at the expense of reader interest and thus circulation and accurate public debate..”
Abbott’s Return from the Wilderness — Quadrant Online
In short, why not say to the people of Australia: we’ll cut the RET, to help with your power bills; we’ll cut immigration, to make housing more affordable; we’ll scrap the human Rights Commission, to stop official bullying; we’ll stop all new spending, to end ripping off your grandkids; and we will reform the Senate to have government, not gridlock.” It’s a great program. If any political leader took it up with conviction, breathed its message with persuasion and sought to accomplish it with prudence, he (or she) would surely make a long-serving and well-remembered Prime Minister.
