Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsHow pathetically weak are our “leaders”
Every day, it’s more of the same. Another expose of just how pathetically weak and obsequious our bed wetting political and bureaucratic class and department heads are. This should make everyone squirm with embarrassment.
Watch your our blood pressure with this one.
Random Note #186,652 — Riding A Train
It seems quite apparent that French President Emmanuel Macron, by spring boarding from the socialists to form his own party in just a few short years, has adopted the strategy of Turkish President Erdogan of jumping on the train of the nearest political party or system and riding it to his chosen destination. The same could be said of the Green left and social progressives in Australia, riding a Labor Party locomotive, gutting and filleting it on the way through so that is no longer recognisable as a party of the workers.
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking
No one knows his way around Canberra better than the former head of treasury, John Stone. On this issue he is 100% correct…
“..In light of your latest Newspoll, David Crowe (“Turnbull turmoil reflected in a wilderness of mirrors”, 19/6) says that “the grave danger for Turnbull and the entire Coalition is that voters have stopped listening”.
Four months ago (Letters, 28/2) I said that what the polls then showed was that “Turnbull is unelectable: people have simply stopped listening to him”.
The Liberal party room now has only one course open to it. Get rid of Malcolm Turnbull, replace him with a leader from the party’s right, and seek to attract back all those disaffected conservatives who, like myself, will never vote Liberal again while this Labor wolf in Liberal clothing leads the party…”

The Jihad Of The American Left — American Thinker
The American left is waging a similar ideological war against non-believers of progressivism. Several days ago, J.R. Dunn, on these pages, raised the possibility of Antifa terrorism as an explanation for two recent Bernie Sanders supporters going on shooting sprees in the name of progressivism. I’d like to expand on his idea. While not a formal religion, progressivism is similar to radical Islam in that it is based on beliefs and doctrine, not readily provable in a scientific sense, but instead accepted by faith. Challenging progressive doctrine, being a non-believer, brings scorn, ridicule, violence and even death threats. Doctrines of this progressive religion include man-made global warming, free healthcare and education, taxing the rich, and Trump as an illegitimate president…”
CFMEU Threats Go To Police — The Australian
This is the way the operate. This is the Kristallnacht without the Kristal. These are the goons, the jackbooted, brown shirted, heel clipping fascists of the hard left union movement. Remember it was ACTU Secretary Sally McManus on back in March who said she had no problem with unions breaking the law.
“..Victorian construction union boss John Setka has threatened to reveal the home addresses of ABCC inspectors, and lobby their local shopping centres and football clubs to ensure their “kids will be ashamed of who their parents are..”
Masks slip to reveal the ugly face of the future — Maurice Newman, The Australian
It pretty much reads exactly like the blueprint of the Frankfurt School/Antonio Gramsci manifesto of decades prior as I’ve outlined many times on talk radio, Facebook, and my blog only last week. We can pretty much see what Newman’s referring to with the capture of one or both of the major political parties with the Green/Left taking over Labor so that it no longer remotely resembles a party of the workers but more exclusively a party for the social and cultural agenda of the inner city, ABC elites. A read of The Shadow Party clearly demonstrates that the same has happened to the Democrats in the US. It too has been gutted and as we’ve seen with the 2016 Presidential election no longer represents its base but more specifically its become the play thing of the social and cultural Marxists of the east and west coasts.
“..A major objective was the capture of one or both of the major US political parties. Marxists would use the courts to weaken US institutions through technical decisions based on human rights. Schools would become transmission belts for socialist propaganda and, by softening the curriculum, teachers’ associations would carry the party line in textbooks on the list of required reading. Loyalty oaths would be abolished. They aimed to infiltrate the media and control editorial writing, book reviews and student newspapers..”
The Culture Cops — American Thinker
It is more subtle, more difficult to defend against, and it is coursing it’s way through the cultural bloodstream of our country like a malignant cancer. It has no single leader, entity, or system to point to as the source. There is no king to topple and no paid “thought police” as in Orwell’s famous novel. No jackbooted thug or leather-clad official is going to knock on your door.
The ABC At It Again: Hardly on the Hunt For Facts — The Australian
The ABC is at it again and caught out again out peddling stuff that’s been well and truly discredited and debunked. And wouldn’t you know it, Gillian Triggs HRC is right in the thick of it. If this were about Australian universities we’d have Malcolm Turnbull with one if his 4 Corners inspired, Greyhound, Live Cattle Exports, Don Dale, Royal Commissions or inquiries ready for announcement on AM tomorrow morning.
But how many people will read this column in The Australian and know the truth of the matter?
Random Note #187,652 — Nuclear Power
In those countries that have nuclear power and using that same sixty year time frame, how many people, comparatively, have been killed or suffered horrendous injuries by motor vehicles not to mention the health problems associated with exhaust pollution?
Climate change zealots need to get real — Peta Credlin, Sunday Telegraph
Sooner or later even the village idiots who support this hoax are going squeal under the pressure and squeeze of energy costs. The reality of the hip pocket nerve will eventually trump the woolly minded feel good, pointless, moral narcissism and gesture politics of renewable energy.
With his being rolled in 2009 and again courting disaster with Finkel in 2017, Marx could well have been talking about Malcolm Turnbull with his Icarus like attempts at flying to close to the sun of climate change politics when Marx observed that “History repeats first as tragedy and then as farce”
