ANDREW BOLT, HIS RIGHT WING MATES IN THE MEDIA AND THEIR ROLE WITHIN ISIS

ISIS thrives on fear. It feeds on it. Without it ISIS would wither and die. So how does ISIS create the fear it needs to thrive?

They use several resources to promote fear. They film their atrocities and publish them on the social networks on the internet using mainly You-Tube and Facebook. They have progressed in creating more fear by dreaming up ever more horrific ways of slaughtering their enemies. Mostly they are carried out in public. The mainstream media then run stories about these atrocities and, while not actually showing the killings, they direct their audience to the source where they can view the atrocities ISIS commits.

The mainstream media of the right who support the anti-Islam movement of the West then use propagandists to promote the fear to the public using commentary and selected audience response. Occasionally, propagandists like Andrew Bolt even link directly to atrocity films. How are we able to live in fear of ISIS if ISIS doesn’t have propagandists like Andrew Bolt, Tim Blair, Piers Akerman, Greg Sheridan, Janet Albrechtsen and others to perpetuate that fear? And, if there is no fear, then how can governments spend so much of our hard earned money on weapons they tell us are needed to defeat ISIS and all our other ‘enemies’ – whoever they’re supposed to be – and do so with barely a beep from the masses?

Well, here’s how it works.

Firstly, one needs to understand that ISIS is not the ‘global Islamic extremist terror organisation’ that we are told they are. They are, in fact, a creation of Western elitists whose specific role is to create fear and loathing of all of Israel and the Wests ‘enemies’. They were created by the CIA, Mossad and some elements within Britain’s MI5.

ISIS consists of three major components: First, there are those that are at the very top of the Western political power system. These are the elites of Western capitalist civilisation. They are the ones that fund, supply arms, determine policy in line with their basic agenda and ensure that the people of the ‘West’ respond appropriately to that agenda. They most certainly are not Muslims and do not represent Islam in any way. In fact one may be surprised to learn that most within the group are actually Zionists and Christians including politicians, industrialists, bankers and senior elements of the military. There are some Middle Eastern members who are associated with this group and who are Muslim but their fundamental interests lay firmly with being reliable allies of Western elites and those that support the idea of ‘Western Exceptionalism’.

Within the second component there are those who, on behalf of the first component, create propaganda, recruit, train, plan and direct the actions of those that consist of the third component. Those within the second group are professionals who have been well trained and are very experienced in their art which has been perfected ever since Vietnam, then through the First Gulf War, the invasion of Afghanistan and the invasion and destruction of Iraq. They include mercenary trainers, writers, journalists and other assorted propagandists whose job is to stir up hatred against ‘Islamists’, Islam and Muslims throughout the West. Such people work for those who have a particular interest in perpetuating the war the West is waging against Islam.

Andrew Bolt, Tim Blair, et al, are classic examples of the anti-Islam propagandists who are paid by the elitists, in this case Rupert Murdoch, who have an interest in ensuring the continuation of the war. Their interests lay in the resources of the Middle East and providing weapons to both sides. Billions are spent on developing and building new weapons, many of which will never be used.

Their other interest is in ensuring that Israel realises its ambition of becoming a Greater Israel. They also want to ensure that Palestine never becomes a sovereign state and that the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are one day absorbed and annexed to Israel thus further projecting the West’s influence and hegemony into the Middle East.

The third component of ISIS comprises those that enact the program laid out for them by the first two components. They do the killing, they commit atrocities, they commit suicide bombing missions, and fight on the front lines, often acting as storm troops, at their nominated wars both in the Middle East and wherever in the world it is expedient for the terrorists to attack Western targets directly in order to perpetuate the myth of the Islamic enemy.

Within the third component are a few misguided true believers who actually believe in the righteousness of what they are doing and are the type that usually end up volunteering for suicide operations. Mostly those of the third component, however, are an assortment of disaffected youths, adventurers, psychopaths, mercenaries and thieves out for whatever they can get out of their involvement in these activities.

All ultimately serve the requirements of those who make up the first component.
Once members of sections of the third component have served their usefulness they are destroyed by the ‘West’ with their destruction serving as part of the propaganda the ‘West’ deploys in order to deceive the people of the ‘West’ that they are in mortal combat fighting ISIS.

ISIS is the Western elite’s weapon that ensures a compliant population that is willing to sacrifice its wealth to remain safe at the expense of health, education, proper housing and care for the old and the very young. Instead, we build submarines that seem to spend more time out of the water than in it and, just when we’ve started to iron out the problems with them, they magically become obsolete and we need more of them; we buy and build aircraft that are so advanced that nobody actually knows how to operate them properly, and we’re forever buying bombs that we are told are so smart that they only ever kill terrorists.

At the heart of all this are the propagandists who lie to us constantly about ‘Islamic terrorists’, who tell us how good our weapons are and why we need them to destroy our ‘enemies’. These propagandists are the interface between the elitists that have created ISIS and the Western peoples they have set out to deceive. They are, in fact, part of the ISIS problem; a sort of inverse propaganda section within ISIS itself, bought and paid for by the elites of the West.

ANDREW BOLT, MURDOCH PAID MOUTHPIECE FOR THE PRO-POLLUTIONISTS, THINKS MELBOURNES COLDEST NIGHT IN 26 YEARS IS PROOF THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING

In his blog today Andrew Bolt posted this piece demonstrating how desperate he and his employers are becoming in their fight to continue polluting the planet by using non-renewable energy resources that are becoming increasingly more expensive to extract and use.

Bolt continues to be the paid voice of the rapidly shrinking denialist movement founded to protect and support the fossil fuel energy industry against the rapidly expanding renewable energy industry. Slowly, however, even some fossil fuel companies are seeing that the future belongs to the renewable energy industry and are now diversifying and investing in the renewables sector of the energy industry. Alinta Gas, Western Australia’s household gas supplier, for example, will begin selling PV solar panels with battery storage systems beginning in November. AGL, one of Australia’s largest energy suppliers is also diversifying into renewable energy resources.

Carpetbagger salesmen like Bolt who write the anti-climate change propaganda for the fossil fuel companies will soon be out of a job as desperation sets in and they have nothing to write about to support their nonsense except how cold it was in Melbourne last night.

BOLT’S THINLY VEILED RACISM IS EXPOSED

In his blog today the convicted racist Andrew Bolt writes two articles that lays bare his disgusting racism. In the first titled ‘Condemning child savers as child stealers: the poison of the “Stolen Generations” myth’, Bolt tries to tell us that the Aboriginal children taken from their families were actually taken for their own good. He attempts to assert that indigenous children were some four times likely to suffer sexual abuse than other Australians. Bolt neglects to mention that most of that abuse came from non-Aboriginals and much of it after they’d been removed from their families and in the care of the so-called missions and foster homes.

In his second article, ‘No jobs in the deserts so why keep the towns?’, Bolt argues that Aboriginal communities aren't worth continued support and that Aboriginal people would be better off if they ‘assimilated’ into the nations metropolises. Bolt knows full well that, if Indigenous and Aboriginal people deserted the bush and ‘assimilated’ into the nation’s cities then they’d likely extinguish themselves within a hundred years – which, of course, is exactly what he wants to happen. For Bolt ‘assimilation’ is a euphemism for breeding out of existence.

WILL BOLT JUMP FROM CHANNEL 10 BEFORE BEING PUSHED?

In light of Gina Rinehart leaving the Channel Ten board, one has to wonder if Bolt is thinking about ‘bailing’ out before the board cans his unprofitable Bolt Report Sunday slots. If Bolt’s blog today is anything to go by it would seem that it’s crossed his mind. When a reader suggested Bolt could be "very lonely in the staff room", Bolt responded by saying: “And as a News Corp man even lonelier. Might have to bail, Frank.”

One can only hope!

BOLT’S TWIST TO SUIT THE MOMENT

Back in August 2010 Bolt argued that Islam was an ideology and not a race. Armed with this argument Bolt attempted to extricate himself from being accused of being a racist over his stance on Muslims. It’s also an argument that has long been used by his anti-Islam supporters especially those that comment on his blog.

Today, however, Bolt has done a complete U-turn and is now saying that it is indeed racist to be anti-Muslim as he calls for something to be done about “racists” that are terrorising Muslims in Australia – particularly the Australian Defence League (ADL).

As it happens, it’s been Bolt’s anti-Islam stance over the past few years that has probably done more than anything else to foster the growth of the Australian Defence League and anti-Islam sentiment generally in Australia.

BOLT HYPOCRISY: FREE SPEECH FOR THE RIGHT BUT NOT THE LEFT

Today Bolt complains in one article about students exercising their right to freedom of speech against uni fees and implies that students be denied all help for their education because they are a ‘violent mob’ (someone swore at Tony Abbott, another knocked over a police officer [makes a change; normally it’s the other way round] and a car window got broken) while in the article just before that Bolt’s going on about how important it is for people to be able  to express themselves freely.

So it’s OK, as Bolt, et al does, to promote hatred toward boatpeople who end up in concentration camps where they can be beaten to death or so neglected they die through lack of proper treatment when they fall ill, and it’s OK to promote hatred of Islam to a point where you can support going to Islamic lands to kill them and then wonder why ‘they’ hate us so. But it’s not OK to demonstrate against high education fees.

Boltologic.

BOLT: THE PRO-POLLUTIONIST CARPETBAGGER

‘Carpetbagger’ is a derogatory term which originated in the US during the Reconstruction years (1865-1877) after the American Civil War of 1861-1865. It referred to the opportunistic and mostly fraudulent Northerners who migrated to the war-torn South in order to take advantage of the Southerners caught up in the chaos that existed there after the war. The ‘carpet bag’ itself was a fashionable piece of luggage that looked like it was made from pieces of carpet that these fraudsters and conmen arrived with in the South.

Today the term ‘carpetbagger’ is used to define those that move – more metaphorically than literally these days – into areas of dispute in order to take advantage of a given situation by which they can make money both for themselves and for their backers.

The climate change debate is one such situation in which ‘carpetbaggers’ can thrive. In particular, climate change deniers, especially those among the mainstream Murdoch commentariat, who are currently making heaps by cashing in on their boss’s own interests in non-renewable resources.

The likes of Andrew Bolt, Tim Blair, Piers Akerman, Janet Albrechtsen, Greg Sheridan and many others are paid handsomely by Rupert Murdoch to demonise Green energy technology and ideology in order to halt the diminishing demand for non-renewable energy, a resource Murdoch and many of his fellow businessmen and associates have heavily invested in.

Contrary to the collective opinion of the extreme right-wing commentators and neoconservatives who Murdoch and others, including various neoconservative and right-wing think-tanks around the world financially support, renewable energy resources are making a huge dent in the bottom line of the non-renewable energy sector, particularly among the traditional energy providers.

Domestic use of solar energy in Australia generated from both photovoltaic (p.v.) roof-top panels and wind turbines has risen sharply over the last decade or so. In South Australia some 20%-25% of domestic energy consumption is derived from solar energy. Indeed, in July 2014 South Australia’s wind farms managed to provide up to 43% of the states power needs. And, as photovoltaic and battery storage technology advances, the commercial and light industrial sector is also increasingly making use of solar energy.

These advances in both technology and the expanding use of renewable energy resources has had a considerable affect on the more conventional non-renewable resources on fuel suppliers and particularly on energy generators who are experiencing a drop in demands and, therefore, profits and revenue which, in turn, has forced them to increase their charges. Increasing prices on non-renewable energy, in turn, leads to customers turning to p.v. panels and alternative power resources.

The pro-pollutionist carpetbaggers have tried every trick in the book to get people to ignore green energy. They have attempted to demonise the use of green energy by pigeonholing green energy advocates as ‘left-wing hippies’. Bolt has even tried to say that advocates of alternative energy are like the Nazis because the Nazis were a “romantic, anti-science, nature worshipping, communal and anti-capitalist movement that tied German identity to German forests.”

The pro-pollutionist carpetbagger’s biggest ploy is their denialism about global warming and climate change in which they attempt to argue that there is no need to stop using non-renewable energy because it doesn’t create global warming or climate change. They ignore, however, the vast amount of pollution that coal, oil and gas produce and which can be seen on a daily basis hanging over the world’s big industrial cities.

The non-renewable energy industry has spent billions on promoting their coal, oil and gas products while, at the same time, spending further billions on paying their carpetbagger minions in the media to demean green energy. They have even offered climate scientists inducements to become climate change deniers in order to give their arguments some semblance of credibility while others pay journalists and media commentators to demean the green energy industry using outlandish and extremist propaganda which they attempt to link with left-wing politics.

But Tony Abbott’s recent axing of the Renewable Energy Targets program will unlikely stop renewable energy from continuing to grow as people from all walks of life get to hear about the huge savings that can be made by using p.v. panels and, in the not too distant future, going off grid completely as battery technology makes it increasingly a more realistic option to non-renewable energy.

BOLT SPINS A SIMPLE LINE FOR SIMPLE PEOPLE

In his column today, Bolt accuses Hamas for breaking the ceasefire in the battle for the Gaza Strip. Using a simplistic narrative that his tiny band of followers is able to understand, he writes: “Hostilities had resumed because, as with the previous four ceasefires, Hamas started firing rockets at Israeli civilians”.

This is a blatant piece of overly simplistic nonsense and ignores the actual reasons for the resumption of hostilities. The aim of the ceasefire was to allow the two sides an opportunity to discuss a long term agreement that might lead to peace. Hamas is merely asking for freedom. It wants the blockade lifted, it wants the freedom to trade with whoever they want to and they want the facilities like a seaport and airport to be able to make these things happen. On the other hand, Israel wants Hamas to disarm; it wants to extend its no-mans land even further into the Gaza Strip thus limiting the Gaza’s ability to produce agricultural and horticultural products, and Israel wants to control what goes in and out of the Strip. Since it was clear that Israel was not going to allow the people of the Gaza Strip their freedom, Hamas and their allies have no other choice but to fight on in the only way they know how to.

Of course Hamas want peace, but they also want their freedom. Israel doesn’t want to give it to them. What Israel really wants is the Gaza Strip for themselves in order to exploit its gas reserves and to realise their dream of a Greater Israel. 

BOLT PROMOTES ABBOTT AS LEADER OF THE WESTERN WORLD

Tony Abbott seems set to get his fifteen minutes of fame - courtesy of Bolt and a tragedy that Abbott seems willing to milk for all its political worth.

In his blog today, Bolt writes: “Tony Abbott is leading the West into a confrontation with nuclear superpower Russia over the downing of MH17. The stakes are incredibly high, as the Prime Minister organises, effectively, a small army to move into Ukraine.”

What utter tosh!

The ‘small army’ turns out to be a small group of Australian Federal Police officers who will be unarmed and, rather than actually confronting ‘nuclear superpower Russia’, they’ve postponed going into Ukraine because it’s too dangerous due to the fighting between the Ukrainian forces and Russian separatists.

The way Bolt tells it you’d think Abbott was the saviour of the world instead of a bumbling lunatic who has staggered onto the misfortune of others and realised that he can make political hay from it while he has the opportunity to strut the world stage and allow his right-wing backers in the commentariat to promote him to status of ‘world leader’.

What  a load of puffed up nonsense. 

HAS BOLT FINALLY LOST HIS MARBLES?

Lately Bolt seems to have become increasingly disassociated with reality. On his blog today he’s insanely demanding that Putin hand over the ‘murder weapon’ that was used to shoot down flight MH17 over the Ukraine. Bolt writes:

Where is the Buk missile system that almost certainly brought down the Malaysian airliner?

In any murder investigation, the weapon is usually second only to the body in the search for physical evidence.

That the Buk has not been produced proves Russia is actually hiding evidence of a crime — one in which it is deeply implicated.

The Buk is so massive it should be the easiest thing for Russian President Vladimir Putin to find. It’s nearly 10 metres long and four metres high. The killers can’t drop it down a drain or toss it in a dumpster.

Moreover, it is an incredibly lethal and expensive weapon that no army would somehow lose.

Of course, Russia is no more ‘hiding evidence of a crime’ than the Americans were when they shot down Iran Air Flight 655 in July 1988. Like the 1988 incident, the shooting down of Flight MH17 was a tragic case of misidentification. The Americans did not hand over the Surface to Air Missile launcher that was used to shoot down the Iran Air Boeing A300. Apart from anything else, what would be the point? The fact is; Russia, apart from the fact that it either directly or indirectly supplied the weapon, actually had nothing to do with the shoot down of MH17. There is no way the Putin or any of his military would have authorised the shoot down of a commercial aircraft. Clearly, the entire incident, like that of the shoot down of 655, was a simple case of misidentification which, in his case, was carried out by inexperienced militiamen.

Bolt’s over-the-top demands are symptomatic of a person slowly losing his marbles as he sees support for his vision of a world reflecting his notion of Western Exceptionalism slowly disappearing into oblivion. 

BOLT DOES HIS MASTER’S BIDDING

In his blog today Bolt attempts once again to deny that he isn’t paid by Murdoch to spout anti-climate change propaganda claiming that Murdoch himself is a greenie.

What utter rubbish.

 What Murdoch says in public and what he tells his journos to write with regard to climate change are two different things.

Murdoch only changed his public stance back in 2006 in deference to his son James.

The reality is that Murdoch is not vocal about supporting climate change policies. In fact I've heard from two now retired Murdoch journos (and one cartoonist) that Murdoch has quietly encouraged them to support anti-climate change propaganda.

The reason is simple; he has a massive financial interest in oil and gas resources through Genie Energy and Israeli Energy Initiatives (hence Bolt's energetic support of fascist Israel).

Bolt claims he’s not paid to write anti-climate change propaganda for Murdoch and that his journalism is independent. However, trying to draw on Murdoch’s pathetic past effort at being a greenie is blatantly transparent – indeed, so transparent that one might be forgiven for thinking Murdoch had even asked him to write this nonsense.

HOW MUCH DOES BOLT GET PAID TO PUSH HIS ANTI-CLIMATE CHANGE NONSENSE?

As we all know, Andrew Bolt is a staunch climate change denialist and pro-pollutionist. We know because he pushes his nonsense almost daily on his online blog at the Sun-Herald in Melbourne and quite frequently on his talk show The Bolt Report on Channel 10.

What’s not quite so well known is the reason why he so vehemently opposes climate change science. One possible answer is blindingly obvious; he gets paid to – and not just by Murdoch who, incidentally, has his own vested interest in denying climate change.

Bolt has extremely close ties with neoconservatives and is no doubt familiar with the various financial offerings made by neocon think tank organisations like the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) that have offered up to $10,000 for articles that undermine the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) reports.

One wonders how much of this money has found its way into Bolt’s coffers. You have to wonder who are paying his very significant legal bills and question where that money comes from and why they keep paying them.

Bolt is a paid propagandist but you can bet your boots it isn’t just Murdoch that’s paying his bills. One has to ask if, and how much, are neocon organisations like the AEI paying Bolt for his commentary – and whoever else.

BOLT EXPOSES HIS BLATANT RACISM

In his blog today Bolt continues with his Islamophobic obsession about Muslims migrating to Australia. In last Sunday’s Bolt Report Bolt asked Immigration Minister Scott Morrison if we shouldn’t be ‘screening people from or born of people from the Middle East for cultural compatibility’.

Bolt would argue that this is not racism because Islam is not a race but a religion. However, if one were to criticise Judaism, Bolt would be the first to accuse you, quite rightly, of anti-Semitism for being anti-Jewish yet Judaism is a religion and not a race. While it is true that most folk that practice Judaism are indeed Jewish, many are not racial Jews. Most are descendants of converts to Judaism but nonetheless, to criticise Judaism, regardless of whether or not those that practice Judaism are actually racial Jews, is still anti-Semitic. But that’s where the line is drawn. People like Bolt and his fellow neoconservatives would also accuse those who are anti-Zionism as being anti-Semite when the reality is that Zionism is a political ideology and race is incidental to that ideology with, again, most adherents being descendants of converts to Judaism. In short, to be anti-Judaism the religion is racist but to be anti-Zionist the political ideology is not.

By the same virtue, to be anti-Islam the religion, as Bolt and his fellow neoconservative are, is racist, while to be anti-jihad as a political creed is not.

Different religions are a part of many peoples culture and to discriminate against a culture often means discriminating against their religion and vice-versa. To discriminate against a culture by ‘screening for compatibility’ is racist. Racism is more than just being about blood and skin colour, it’s also about religion, heritage and culture. To discriminate against someone on the basis of their religion or culture is as much racism as discriminating against them on the basis of heir physical appearance such as skin colour or blood.  

BOLT BECOMES A FANATICAL HATER OF FANATICAL HATERS

Bolt today continues his relentless rhetoric of hate against Islam as he riles against criticism of his hatred.

Throughout history various religions that have at the core of their beliefs a philosophy of peace and goodwill toward their fellow man have had within their ranks murderous extremists who abuse the name of their faith to commit the most horrendous crimes against their fellow man. Even political ideologies sometimes use their religious faith to justify the most horrific crimes. Catholicism for centuries committed the most terrifying crimes against Protestants; Judaism as a religion has been responsible for crimes against Arabs in Palestine as they take over lands they claim were given to them by God; Orthodox Christians in what was Yugoslavia have committed genocidal crimes against some of their fellow citizens because they happened to be Muslims; on and off for nearly eight hundred years Christians from Europe embarked on crusades to wipe out Islam; there were Christians in America who believed African-Americans were subhuman and should be either enslaved or killed. And, of course, there were the Christians of Europe who during the 1930s and 40s attempted to exterminate all of European Jewry.

But not in any of these cases can their religion per se actually be blamed for their actions. In every case religion was used merely as an excuse to commit these crimes. But in not one case can the base philosophy of any religion be blamed for the crimes committed by their adherents.

And now here’s Bolt, ready to condemn an entire religion because of the crimes of a few misguided fanatics who claim to be part of that religion. Bolt’s obsessive hatred of Islam has blinded and confused him. He is no longer able to distinguish between the actions of fanatics and the reality of what they profess to be their faith. In short, he has become as fanatical in his hatred as those he accuses of being hate filled.   

AUSTRALIAN NAZIS VISIT THE REFUGEE CAMPS

SS-Hasseführer Morrison with SS-Obergruppenführer Angus Campbell behind are seen here visiting the Manus Island concentration camp where prisoners are held in appalling conditions, beaten – sometimes to death, and with no hope of ever knowing when they will be free.

BOLT’S ISLAMOPHOBIC BLOGGIES BLIND TO REALITY ON BOKO HARAM KIDNAPPINGS

Yesterday, Bolt posted a piece about the Boko Haram kidnappings in which he inferred that the underlying problem was Islam itself.

I responded with this comment which was published:

More fearmongering nonsense.

The issue is not Islam. The vast majority of the worlds Muslims do not support Boko Haram or any other group that goes around murdering or kidnapping civilians.

Boko Haram are nothing more than criminal thugs as are the Christian Lords Resistance Army and the Ku Klux Klan.

Boko Haram does not represent anyone – certainly not Islam – anymore than the Lords Resistance Army or the Ku Klux Klan represent Christians.

This Boko Haram incident is just another opportunity for Islamophobes to demonise all Muslims.

Bolt’s Bloggies were quick to respond with varying degrees of venom but the jist of most of the eleven responses to my comment was that, if the vast majority of the world’s Muslims do not support Boko Haram, then where are the Islamic world’s denunciations of the kidnappings?

Clearly, these Islamophobic nutjobs are incapable of performing a basic Google search to find out if there had been any denunciations because typing in ‘muslims denounce boko’ would have provided all the denunciations from the Islamic world that would have been more than enough to change the tune of all but the most diehard of Islamophobic nutjobs.

BOLT CHERRYPICKS STORIES TO HIGHLIGHT HIS RACISM

In his blog yesterday, Bolt highlighted a story about a brawl which happened to involve some young men from an African background. He says he’s “not certain [that] aspects of our immigration and refugee policies are working to the advantage of Australians”.

The reality is; he’s not actually certain that these men aren’t themselves Australian. Bolt merely assumes that, if they’re black and look like Africans, then they must be African migrants. Maybe they are, but then I don’t know anymore than Bolt does.

Just to reinforce his presumptuous and racist stance, Bolt links to two other stories about brawling in the streets apparently between young men who have an African background.

The fact is there are brawls just about every Friday and Saturday night in just about all of Australia’s cities and towns and these involve young men, and sometimes women, from all sorts of racial and ethnic backgrounds – including white Australians. Indeed, front bar brawls for decades were a bit of an Aussie tradition long before non-white migrants arrived in Australia.

But Bolt, of course, only cherrypicks the stories that suit his racist propaganda while his coterie of dedicated bloggies lap it up. Read the comments (if you can stomach it) and see.

ANDREW BOLT AND THE AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE LEAGUE CONNECTION

Last night the 7.30 Report showed a segment exposing the activities of a neo-Nazi anti-Islamic hate group calling itself the Australian Defence League (ADL), an off-shoot of the English Defence League (EDL), an extreme right-wing anti-Islam hate organisation made up mainly of ex-Nazis, skinheads and football hooligans.

Their enemy du jour is Islam. They now deny their Nazi and neo-Nazi roots and the anti-Semitism of their twentieth century background; indeed, many of their members today support the Israeli Zionist cause despite their past hatred of Jews. It’s a classic case of ‘the enemy of your enemy is your friend’. For them, Nazism is old hat. Of course, there are those that will always be Jew-haters but, for today, their hatred is directed at Islam. Today, they’ll keep quiet about their past anti-Semitism; they have a new enemy in their sights.

Many of Bolt’s Bloggies, those that regularly comment on Bolt’s blog supporting his anti-Islam rhetoric and hatreds, have openly supported the ADL in their comments. Some have even inferred that they are members.

Bolt himself is smart enough not to be associated directly with these extremists but certainly he sympathises with their views. And he is more than happy for his Bloggies to peddle support for the ADL at his blog. ADL members, in turn, support Bolt’s views and his blog.

The ADL is a growing hate organisation that Bolt indirectly supports. The Australian Federal Police need to investigate the ADL – which I understand they are – and also need to investigate Bolt’s association with them to assess the extent of his incitement to violence, either directly or indirectly, against the Australian Islamic community.

BOLT: PAID LACKEY OF ISRAELI ZIONISM

Andrew Bolt in his column today has admitted having been treated to a trip to Israel bought and paid for by Australia’s Israel lobby.

While many nations offer ex-gratia trips to politicians and journalists in order to promote some political or commercial cause for that nation, when it comes to Israeli lobby groups handing out trips to Israel to right-wing journalists you can bet it isn’t in order to influence that journalist into writing favorable tourist copy for the beaches on the sea-front of Tel Aviv.

Bolt is a classic neoconservative. He presents with all the classic characteristics of a modern neoconservative – and no, contrary to popular opinion, one doesn’t need to be Jewish to be a neoconservative, though, of course, many are.

All neoconservatives are pro-Zionist and anti-Palestinian. Neoconservatives all support the notion of Israelis settling in the West Bank and all privately believe that the territories the Israelis occupied in 1967 after the Six Day War should be annexed and become part of Greater Israel as they did to the Golan Heights. I say ‘privately’ because, at the moment, it is not politically expedient for their objectives to be so forthright. Having said that, there are some more extremist neoconservatives who have no qualms at all about saying what their objectives are but most, rather than push their own agenda, rail instead against the Palestinians particularly those in the West Bank that throw stones and those in the Gaza Strip that fire rockets into Israel in an effort to deter Israelis from shooting unarmed Palestinians near the Gaza border with Israel. Israeli Zionists and their neoconservative allies are simply waiting for an opportunity to find an excuse to once and for all fully invade and occupy these places and to destroy all of their enemies with the eventual aim of annexing all of the Palestinian territories. Any war with Iran will provide the casus belli for the Israelis to invade the occupied territories.

Part of neoconservatism’s pro-Zionist rhetoric is to label all anti-Zionists as being anti-Semites in an effort to demonise them as being Jew-haters. Bolt has frequently accused anti-Zionists as being anti-Semites and Jew-haters. However, for this rhetoric to be effective, Bolt needs to rely on the ignorance of his readers. The fact is; there are many anti-Zionists around the world who are Jewish, indeed, there are many Israelis who are anti-Zionists.

Bolt has been bought lock, stock and barrel by the Israel lobby in Australia.

RACISM BY INFERENCE: HOW BOLT’S NOT SO SUBTLE RACIST PROPAGANDA WORKS

At every opportunity Bolt can find he attempts to subtly push his racist agenda at his blog by using topical news items to demonise certain targeted groups. He achieves this by cherry-picking only news items that show non-white non-European Australians to be the perpetrators of mainly violent crimes – especially if those crimes include rape and murder.

Today, Bolt highlights an AAP story published in the Sydney Morning Herald about two sixteen-year-old girls who were sexually assaulted in a Sydney park by three men who the SMH described variously as being of ‘dark complexion, thin build and with black hair’. Bolt then cut and pastes the police media release about the crime which, as well as describing the perpetrators as the SMH did, added that the three men were of ‘Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance’.

This was enough for Bolt.

Bolt takes advantage of the story to push his racist agenda in two ways. First, he pans the SMH by asking; why did the SMH, a media outlet that Bolt regards as ‘Left-wing’ and also happens to be one of Murdoch’s rival newspapers, not mention the ethnicity of the perpetrators as the police had done in their media release? And, secondly, by knowing the perpetrators were of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance, he knows that his readers will presume they are probably Arab and, therefore, likely to be Muslims – indeed, everything that Bolt and his bloggies hate. Added to this is the fact that, because the ethnicity of the two girls was not described, it would be presumed that they were white Europeans even though we don’t actually know their ethnicity. Bolt relies on his previous stereotyping stories of non-European men attacking white girls to complete his propaganda picture. He will leave it to his coterie of racist bloggies to complete the demonisation of Bolt’s targeted group.

Mentioning that describing the perpetrators as being of ‘Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance’ actually means very little ethnicity-wise since the region covers a hole region of the planet containing people of many ‘ethnicities’ ranging from Africans to Israelis would be about as useful as merely mentioning them as the SMH had.
