Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsGovernment complicit in promoting 18C moral crusaders — John Carroll, The Australian
Any crusade needs a faith. Since the 1960s, it has mainly been a neo-Marxist ideology of domination and oppression that has prevailed. According to it, modern Western capitalist societies are Satanic oppressors of the weak and the disadvantaged. Bill Leak’s caricature of a dysfunctional indigenous family hit the nerve with unintended forensic precision. What is new in this history of intolerance is the role of the state.
Requiem for responsible journalism — The Washington Times
When the campaign smoke clears after Election Day, and Americans see the president they elected, the reputation of the media will lie among the ruins. The art of journalism has taken a pasting as a source of credible information. Masters of the press can blame only themselves, but they won’t do that. The losers are the innocent and naïve who think the media preserves the distinction between fact and fiction. The notion that the press should give light and let the people …find their own way has evaporated in the newsrooms.
Vlad Putin gets it. The West is cannibalising itself
Bang on Vlad. Got it nailed. “….however villainous one may think Putin is, he is absolutely right here: the massive influx of Muslim migrants in Europe has caused a “dissolution of traditional national values,” and indeed, “a society that cannot defend its children has no future.” That’s the United Kingdom, with its massive Muslim rape gang activity that authorities feared being called “racist” and “Islamophobic” if they stopped, and Austria with its release of the Muslim migrant who raped a 10-year-old boy — indeed, the illness has overtaken all of Europe’s political and media elites….”
Random Note #198,832 — Bill Leak And 18C
If Bill Leak feels remotely inclined to respond to the Human Rights Commission star chamber and inquisition (he’s been given 2 weeks to demonstrate how and why his laser accurate cartoon is not racist) he could do worse than copy and paste this response I drafted a few moments ago.
Random Note #178,942 — UK High Court and Brexit Decision
Here's what is perplexing and impossible to understand about the British High Court and its determination that to the trigger the Article 50 mechanism of the Lisbon Treaty so as to decouple from the EU, Prime Minister Theresa May must get the votes on the floor of the...
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking — November 5, 2016
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking Gillian Triggs has given Bill Leak a fortnight to produce evidence to show why his cartoon is not racist. I’d be more interested in hearing evidence from complainant Melissa Dinnison and Triggs showing why they think it is...
Some Climate Commonsense
One for the climate catastrophists in a letter today from someone who actually knows what he’s talking about. William Kininmonth headed up Australia’s National Climate Centre at the Bureau of Meteorology from 1986 to 1998, He was Australia’s delegate to the WMO Commission for Climatology, was a member of Australia’s delegations to the Second World Climate Conference (1990) and the subsequent intergovernmental negotiations for the Framework Convention on Climate Change (1991–1992).
Random Note #197,673 — Bob Day’s dilemma
So because Bob Days senate office is in a building he owned but then sold so it was at least at arms length he’s regarded as profiting under the crown and therefore ineligible to sit in the senate. This being the case, can we extend the witch hunt to the other dozens of politicians who use their living away from home allowance of $270 per night to pay down the mortgage on their Canberra digs they purchased in their wives names. For example, Joe Hockey’s total living away allowance of $184,000 total between 1998 and 2015, springs to mind. It would seem to the casual observer that they too are profiting under the crown with a nice little earner as a super top up in their post political careers. Pots and kettles anyone?
It’s just the way they roll. They are the Bonnie and Clyde of American politics. FBI release of Marc Rich pardon documents highlights Clinton Corruption
".....Anyone who reviews the facts has to question why the Clintons would pardon Rich. The answer is one and half million dollars to the Clintons. Hillary is upset because the FBI disclosure reminds everyone of another sordid bit of Clinton corruption. Rich and...
