Same. I don't agree with most of what he says but I do respect the fact he's always willing to put himself out there regardless of what others will think of his actions. Most people these days don't have the ticker to do that.Quote:

Good post.Quote:

The same is true of most mass media and their highly dubious methodology. I think Willam Randolph Hearst said "Get me some Pictures and I will provide the war". This still appears to be the case.
Rather than hold the media accountable we should probably hold ourselves accountable for allowing them to continue as they do without ever being questioned.
Once the terms bias and opinion enter into the debate we end up right where the plutocrats want us - fighting over the crumbs.
so hows about this law making it illegal to report on kids getting abused in detention centres? all kinds of ****ed up.
think Aus will be united on this oneQuote:

This "border force act" is scary.
Labour supported the Border Force Act which is more evidence that both major parties are mere lapdogs for the plutocrats.
The money to be made by those contracted to build own operate and transfer [BOOT] the detention centres is apparently of far greater value than the needs of any children being abused.
The public will soon be on board with the plutocrats and government in supporting the bill - Yes they are that stupid.
illuminati confirmed

Should we send in JC Denton to fix the situation ?Quote:

I can't think of Labor opposing any of the major issues that anyone would have cared about. The Libs would cruise to an election win right now, with the worst being a very minor swing against them.
True. And given how much power the Plutocrats wield these days it will be a very long time [if ever] that we see a party evolve offering a real alternative.Quote:

Spend a few hours with their poster boy Bob Brown and you will see that there is sfa difference between the economic policies of the Greens and the Coalition or ALP.Quote:

They believe in a money multiplier / loanable funds theory of interest rate determination.
... and the list goes on.
All of these propositions have been found to have absolutely no relevance in a modern economy and yet all of these clowns persist in forming policies based on these false assumptions.
By leftie are you talking about socialist ? Marxists ? Dialectical materialists ? Or just anyone that basically understands that neo-liberalism is a religion based on dogma rather than evidence ?
Alternatively, you can go to the other extreme and find the Austrians or followers of Ayn Rand. These khunts are batshit crazy but seem to have convinced a lot of people otherwise. Best of all they each reject empirical evidence. Unless of course it somehow agrees with their theories - then it's ok.
Read up about Mises regression theorem - again - more bat shit crazy crap no sane person would be sold on - and yet all your politicians fall for this shit hook line and sinker.
Sorry but I cannot see any difference between any of this lot
