Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsA classic illustration—-Compassion’s fine but ignoring fiscal reality won’t pay the bills — Nick Cater, The Australian
it’s more about being seen to weep and bleed and spend big money on an issue with no attention to detail or whether your idea will work. In other words it’s all about emotion. About, in this case, how Kate Ellis wants to be perceived as compassionate rather than the nuts and bolts and viability at the pointy end of delivery of the actual childcare policy.
Random Note #189,974 — A history lesson for one, H R Clinton.
On election night 1948, most Americans went to bed thinking the Governor of New York and Republican candidate Thomas Dewey would be sworn in as President. Guess what. Didn’t happen. Two weeks out from election day in 1980, the polls had Jimmy Carter back at Pennsylvania Ave he was so far in front of Reagan. Guess what. Didn’t happen.
Organisations Including The Shadow Democratic Party, Funded By George Soros and His Open Society Foundations
These are some of the groups and front organizations funded by George Soros. Note the motherhood sounding names. It's all smoke and mirrors designed to make politicians and decision makers think that these groups are truly representative of who and what they say they...
No to coal: how SA Labor killed reliable power supply — Herald Sun
There's no difference between the extreme and insane Muslim Taliban blowing up the Bamyan Buddhas and the extreme insane followers and believers in climate catastrophe blowing up a perfectly good coal fired power station. Most sane people would simply mothball it just...
For Political Junkies — A 2 hour Doco/Movie — Hillary Clinton Exposed
It chronicles her pattern of lies, deception, crimes and misdemeanours and her two faces of Janus going way back to Little Rock and the Whitewater real estate scandal.
Hillary Clinton embraces George Soros’ ‘radical’ vision of open-border world — Washington Times
A hard left, billionaire anarchist with mendacious intent on issues like drug legalisation, no borders and global government, who has been able to insert himself into the centre of American politics with his funding of a myriad of motherhood sounding community activist groups, Black Lives Matter being a recent example. In the US he was a mover and shaker in the “voting rights” movement founding the Voting Rights Institute in 1994. His mission and strategy like that of 60’s activists on welfare and voter enrolment, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, is to overload and swamp the electoral system with bogus registrations. In Australia he is the godfather of GetUp.
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.
Random Note 187,695 — ABC’s Director of News, Gaven Morris, SMH
Unfortunately this is a problem of trust that the ABC has brought upon itself with their activism and advocacy journalism best highlighted again in the cut and paste, outsourced to Youtube, production last Monday night.
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…..”
