Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsMasks 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 It too has been gutted and as we’ve seen with the 2016 Presidential election no longer represents its base but more specifically its become the play thing of the social and cultural Marxists of the east and west coasts.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”
Random Note #178,561 — The ALP — Democracy is a train to your destination
The Australian Labor Party is no longer recognisable as a party of the worker. The President of Turkey, Erdogan, once described democracy as a train you ride until it reaches your destination.
This is exactly what’s happened to Labor and to some extent the Liberals.
The Green Left and the agents of social, cultural and economic change have ridden the Labor train to their destination.
Random Note #175,492 — Media Is The Message — Quadrant (a play on Marshal McLuhan no doubt)
For many years I’ve been amazed how lefties and apologists in the West latch on to and are comforted by the assurances given by smooth, suited, media talking heads and scribes that in the Koran it’s says that the killing of innocents is not condoned. Phew, that’s a relief. There it is. (or isn’t). There’s the evidence. Islam is a religion of piece after all, just like we’ve been assured all these years.
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking — Turnbull as a stand up
Stand up comedy is just not Turnbull’s forte. He’s so wooden, he makes John Major look like Jerry Seinfeld.
As Clint Eastwood observed in one of the Dirty Harry movies, and he could have been talking about Malcolm Turnbull. “A man’s got to know his limitations”
Even if it was scripted and rehearsed which I’m sure it was, the idea is to present it so that it doesn’t sound like it. He couldn’t pull it off because it was out of character.
Domestic violence study women’s right an issue for group of male refugees — Daily Telgraph
There’s only one way to look at this. Either its true or tax payer funded studies by groups like the Australian Research Council and conducted by the University of NSW Centre for Refugee Research aren’t worth a cracker.
“..Australians should show “cultural sensitivity’’ to migrant men who resent women’s rights and bash their wives and children, a taxpayer-funded study says. Many refugees see some human rights, in particular those relating to women and children’s rights, as detrimental to their successful settlement in Australia..”
ABC footage misled audience on airport story — The Australian
Today’s “true” fake news from the national broadcaster by their own admission. Otherwise known as misleading and deceptive conduct — “…The ABC has conceded it had altered documents of the nation’s largest aviation services company, Aerocare, for “illustrative” purposes and twice breached its editorial standards in an investigative report into the firm’ workplace and safety practices, which are now at the centre of a vicious industrial campaign by the Transport Workers Union. While defending its flagship current affairs program 7.30, the ABC has admitted its internal investigation confirmed a number of breaches of its editorial standards for accuracy, during a report into Aerocare on March 20.
