What Thinking Australians Are Thinking

Too many on the Left and in the human rights community are more concerned about the protection of metaphorical safe spaces within our spheres of civil discourse — where precious racial sensitivities are never pricked — rather than being willing to let our modern-day prophets such as cartoonist Bill Leak hold up a necessary cultural mirror to us. While the sins of the past have a residual effect, today the social shackles bound to our first peoples are not victimhood or entrenched racism, but the self-inflicted social scourges of intergenerational welfare, alcoholism and domestic violence. And, as it has always been throughout history, it is children who reap the whirlwind.

The Oz editorial nails it on Triggs — Taxpayer-funded activism undermining the nation — The Australian

The taxpayer-funded political activism that Professor Triggs has come to personify is a deep and broad problem. Four Corners this week continued the ABC’s long-running, jaundiced and deceptive campaign against strong border protection and offshore processing. In its eagerness to demonise government policy, the public broadcaster portrayed Nauruan people and Australian staff on the island in an appalling light. Rather than focus on the obvious toughness and difficulties of the policy and the possible solutions, the ABC — in cahoots with activist groups — is intent on accusing Australia and Nauru of brutalising and even torturing people.

What do Haiti and Columbia have in common? The Clinton Foundation Colombia Scam — American Thinker

One day Haiti the next Columbia. Having rolled and fleeced the destitute Haitians after the 2010 earthquake the corrupt Clinton Cartel rolls into Columbia. The words cartel Clinton and Columbia are rather fitting given the nature of the racket. “….Colombia is the classic case of, dare we say it, quid pro quo. The people of Colombia were used as pawns in yet another Clinton pay-for-play scheme. You scratch the backs of the Clinton’s will scratch yours. The media will ignore it as the Clintons profit from it…..”

The stuff Hillary’s Dreams Are Made Of — American Thinker

The words are out of her mouth — Clinton will never again be able to credibly claim any intention to secure the nation’s borders or to stop or even reduce the massive illegal invasion of America that will be the enduring legacy of the Obama years. No prior major party candidate for the American presidency has come close to expressing the goal of abolishing America’s borders, more a nightmare than a dream to the overwhelming majority of Americans, 83%, according to Pew Research.

How The Clinton Foundation Got Rich Off Poor Haitians — National Review

In January 2015 a group of Haitians surrounded the New York offices of the Clinton Foundation. They chanted slogans, accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of having robbed them of “billions of dollars.” Two months later, the Haitians were at it again, accusing the Clintons of duplicity, malfeasance, and theft. The Haitian protesters noticed an interesting pattern involving the Clintons and the designation of how aid funds were used. They observed that a number of companies that received contracts in Haiti happened to be entities that made large donations to the Clinton Foundation. The Haitian contracts appeared less tailored to the needs of Haiti than to the needs of the companies that were performing the services.

A better Andrew Olle lecture — Quadrant

At a time when new challenges to the world and the nation make journalism more difficult — challenges such as Islam’s objectives, climate change and marriage — ABC staff have taken obvious positions of commitment and activism, accurately described as “groupthink”. As anyone who has raised a complaint found, they are the “untouchables”, more powerful than Eliot Ness and corrupt any thug packing an agenda in his violin case.
