Random Notes - Idle Thoughts

Let’s be on speaking terms — Mark Latham

Two-thirds of Fairfield’s residents were born overseas, while 70 per cent speak a language other than English at home. In the 1990s, Bowen and the former state MP Carl Scully recruited large numbers of Assyrians into Fairfield’s Labor Party branches. Their leader, Anwar Khoshaba, became a political kingmaker. His son Ninos succeeded Scully in the state seat of Smithfield in 2007. Four years later he was swept out of parliament in the anti-Labor, anti-Keneally swing, replaced by an Assyrian Liberal MP, Andrew Rohan. Over time, Fairfield’s Assyrian community has come to see themselves as running the city. It’s an arrogance spawned from sheer weight of numbers and the fawning attitude of local councillors and MPs who rely on their support. The Assyrian attitude to my Facebook video was one of propriety, telling me I had no right to be in Fairfield without their permission. One thug told me to “piss off back to Liverpool”.

Random Note #176,532 — short, sharp and to the point — 4 Corners and retirement villages

A 4 Corners expose on Live Cattle exports results in an immediate ban — A 4 Corners expose on Don Dale Detention Centre results in an immediate Royal Commission — A 4 Corners expose on the Greyhound industry in NSW results in a ban — A 4 Corners expose on the practices of some operators of the retirement village industry and not so much as whisper of either a Royal Commission or an inquiry.

The silence of the government or the minister in charge betokens the governments consent of these unconscionable practices. Makes you wonder, to what extent if any, are there political donations in play?

Sydney Opera House ditches Dangerous Ideas for festival of progressive activism — The Guardian

This reads like a lefties wet dream. A festival of whacko causes for sundry nihilists, anarchists and weirdos . Notice how, to get people to join in left wing political activism which is what progressive activism is, is now dressed up and marketed as “a festival.”
“…The festival is curated by Danielle Harvey, curator of the Opera House’s feminism and ideas conference All About Women, and co-curator of Festival of Dangerous Ideas from 2010-2016. She sees Antidote as a “natural evolution” to Fodi which reflects “the mood of the time”. “To me, fear and anger is driving so much of what we’re seeing around us right now – in the media, on social media, and in discussions with our audiences. I wanted to provide something as an antidote, as the title suggests,” Harvey told Guardian Australia.

Smear — A new book on what’s going on in the media and why

This is a great interview about a new book on what’s going on in the media. “Smear — How shady political operatives and fake news control what you see, what you think and how you vote” Although it’s about the media in America we are seeing similar things in Australia..

The Mal-churian Candidate — Paul Collits, Quadrant

Apart from Obama, schooled in Alinskyism and the by-any-means-necessary mores of Chicago politics, the most obvious candidate for the modern title of Manchurian Candidate must be one Malcolm Bligh Turnbull. Conspiracy theory? Consider this. One would be at a loss to come up with a more perfect scenario of a conspiracy to destroy the Liberal Party and hand government to Labor, while in the meantime actually implementing Labor policies, than what has actually transpired under Turnbull.

Knavish Stupidity of the First Degree — Peter Smith, Quadrant

Madness prevails. Cheered on by green zealots, governments have accepted as settled a tenuous scientific theory, based almost entirely on black-box model predictions which have been seriously astray. If that is not enough, cheered on by carpetbaggers and snake-oil merchants, intermittent, unreliable, ineffective and cripplingly costly renewal power has been foisted on working-class populations scared into compliance. On the flimsiest basis, the world has been turned upside down. Power bills have soared. Our governments and politicians have shown themselves to be as susceptible to superstition as those in bygone ages who sought the future in the entrails of animals. And then there are those in the broader community who simply accept any old rope handed down from authority. Give them the Little Red Book and they would have been fodder for Mao…”

South Australia’s power prices to be highest in world — The Australian

As of July 1, next week, South Australia will have the world’s highest electricity prices. Not only the highest but also the world’s most unreliable. This is the stuff of Rome burning. And the political class are so pleased with their work, as they go about vandalising the economy.
Of course, the irony in this is mind blowing when you consider that in the pursuit of low co2 emissions, or in this case NO co2 emissions, it is South Australia that is sitting on one of the world’s largest uranium deposits and that we are all too happy to mine and export for others to use, but not use ourselves. There’s something morally corrupt and morally perverse in Australia’s position. It’s not so much that Australia, the lucky country, is running out of luck, but is in fact trashing that luck and our heritage.

The vicious, savage and ugly feral Marxists are on the move and on the march

“..The vicious attacks are designed not just punish the 74 year old tennis legend for opposing same sex marriage but to warn off anyone else who disagrees with them..” Dan Flynn from Australian Christian Lobby, says the aim of the savage demonstration was to destroys Courts reputation and intimidate anyone else into silence who believes in traditional marriage.

The ABC at it again

The ABC at it again

The ABC was at it again in this weeks Science Show: Has ‘denying’ won? telling a whopper that is quite easily debunked and discredited. Listening to RN’s Science Show at midday and it was a Climate Change/Warmsters wet dream.The ABC’s go to guy and all round climate pet, Andy Pittman was specifically asked about the belief in the mid 70’s in a coming ice age. He was then asked whether Time Magazine ran a cover page to that effect at the time.
He categorically said no. But then he jumped the shark and went further and said that it was a climate denier conspiracy.
You can hear him here if you can be bothered at around the 13:50 mark. In fact they didn’t just run one front cover, they ran three.
In 1973, 1977 and again in 1979. This one is from 1973
For the record Newsweek also ran a cover “The Cooling World” in April 1975.
