DOWN here in Melbourne, Jon Faine has just taken to the air on Their ABC, starting his programme with reference to the "inexplicably horrible" murder of a London soldier.
No mention of attackers' religion so far.....
....Now he has a Pommy accented reporterette, Barbara Miller, filling him in on the latest details....
Still nothing on the animals' creed....
...Faine wants to know what these ambulatory arguments for capital punishment meant by "our country"....
....reporterette is puzzled, alluding to "much speculation" about their nation of origin... Golly gosh, they're both stumped, absolutely baffled. Two media geniuses, and neither will announce the obvious: the killers were referring to, you know, Muslim lands....
Miller has toddled off after the conversation's first reference to the Prophet's disciples. It wasn't the London murderers, however, but an utterance freighted with foreboding of what prejudice and devilry the English Defence League might perpetrate in London's "Islamic areas".
"Whether or not it falls within the definition of terrorism is beside the point," Faine opines of the soldier's slaying ...
... Now it is a tame Melbourne Muslim who is ushered to the microphone. Much concern about what the attack will do to spoil the public image of Islam. There will be much beard-wagging in the mosques tonight as the faithful contemplate how best to endure the unenlightened view that Muslims are more likely to kill without reason than adherents of other faiths.....
First caller, Fred from Williamstown, wonders why anyone should be surprised... "We've been bombing the crap out of them for years" ... goes on to mention that Americans dropped "2000-pound bombs" on "crowded restaurants" in an attempt to kill Saddam's sons.
Next caller, from Altona, explains that English-accented Muslims killing English soldiers on London Streets is entirely predictable because "we" inflict terrorism on them and no lists of those killed by the West's bombers are ever published.....
.... finally, a female caller urges listeners to read the Koran and absorb the obvious truth that Islam is a violent creed....
Faine keeps interrupting, observing that "the Bible is full of violent passages too" and that there is something unsettling about all religions' texts.
By later today, Faine et al will have settled on their narrative: Once again, as always, the real perpetrators will be the victims.
UPDATE: Faine once again quoting Fred from Williamstown, "If we continue dropping bombs we can expect some blowback," he says, before moving on to the next topic.
Virginia Trioli at THEIR ABC24TV (Sydney) breakfast at 8.45 am suggested that there "might be an Islamic element in this". That was after we all have heard the unmistakable pronouncements by the savage in which "ALLAH" figured quite prominently.
ReplyDeleteShe (Trioli) had no doubts however to categorically assert that it was mainly the 'RIGHT WING" (young men) who were at this very moment conducting "anti-muslim RIOTS" in London.
Well, I suppose we should be grateful for little progress - at least she did not call the victims of this muslim/islamist attack "merely rich white people" as she described the muslim bombing victims in Boston recently.
Question: Where do I go to demand that:
a) we clean up "their" ABC and make it more, if not "ours" so at least a tad more "balanced"?
b) disband the UN, or at least transfer its seat to Teheran.
Even before the Second World War these same kind of credulous fools were everywhere among the chattering class, especially in England, taking a similar apologetic stand toward Hitler. The poor Nazi sod had been treated badly by the victors of the First War; he was just trying to save Germans in the diaspora from mistreatment; and his critics in England were provoking war. And so on. Churchill, of course, was ridiculed as a dangerous, ageing warmonger. Various "women's leagues" preached the disarming of England as a way to "peace" and a gesture of goodwill to Hitler. Like death and taxes these dingbat Left are always with us. You can find these quislings any time on the ABC.

Why do we succour cowardly savages who disable a person by using a car, then (literally) butcher him? Why should we?
ReplyDeleteI would vote for Enoch Powell were he to be a candidate for this electorate.
Long overdue for white anglo-saxon types to say "we have a culture; it suits us; if you attack it or us, expect some defensive action". And that applies to the enemy within , too.
I was going to write a much longer post but I can't be bothered wasting my life; let's condense it to:
ReplyDeleteJon Faine is a naive, arrogant fool.
These two "asylum recipients"shoul have been given to the dead soldiers Squaddies for a bit of "rigorous interrogation" ,helping the Authorities between screams ,then kicked to death and hung from trees ,pour encourager les autres.
ReplyDeleteFaine is right, but, they wouldn't have any opportunity for blowback if we didn't let them immigrate to our lands.
ReplyDeleteIt's called "Invade the world, invite the world."
The left are pro non-White immigration because they hate us. Neocons such as yourself, Bunyip, are pro-immigration for your economy and markets, and as for us, you don't really care when it compares to a cheap car import.
Please, spare us your crocodile tears. Even today Bolt was in like a vulture to feast on the carcass of our people by tying the massacre into an anti-BDS post.
That's right: Israel for the Jews, the West for everyone.
Indolent says.
DeleteBen, I find myself in agreement with parts of your discourse. However Bolt should be excused. He is of Dutch heritage and therefore part of a much maligned minority group. Few have cottoned on to the way that people of Dutch descent have been unfairly treated in this country so I won’t castigate you for what is, in essence, a racist post. I accept that you probably don’t know any better and offer the following thoughts to help your understanding of the problem.
The Netherlands is a very small country with a large population. A lot of people don’t know this but some it is below sea level and they had to build earth mounds to keep the ocean at bay. How could you expect a person to sleep at night knowing that? To survive, many of the Dutch were forced to become traders. It was the only way they could continue to feed their families. The Netherlands was often invaded by bullies from other countries ruining their fragile existence. The direness of their plight meant that many Dutch people left the Netherlands. I know of Dutch people who boarded a boat thinking it was going to South America and ended up in Australia where, unfortunately, they were ridiculed just for being Dutch. The pejoratives just kept on coming. “I’ll be a Dutch Uncle”, “Dutch Shout”, “Dutch Auction”, “Dutch Courage”, “Dutch Treat” and the worst of the lot, “Dutch Oven”. Were any of these terms expunged from the lexicon during the great political correctness purges of the 90’s? No they weren’t!
Just because he is Dutch, Bolt has had to live with this type of vilification for most of his life. People have no right to criticise him. In fact he should be given a Government grant.
Ah Ben, straight in with the suicidalism (you know, the totalitarian’s most important memetic weapon).
DeleteFor the uninitiated the 8 rules of Suicidalism are:
1. There are no truths; there are only competing agendas.
2. All Western claims to moral superiority over Communism/Fascism/Islamism are invalidated by the West’s history of racism and colonialism.
3. There are no objective standards by which we may judge one culture to be better than another. Anyone who claims that there are such standards is an evil oppressor.
4. The prosperity of the West is built on ruthless exploitation of the Third World; therefore Westerners actually deserve to be impoverished and miserable.
5. Crime is the fault of society, not the individual criminal. Poor criminals are entitled to what they take. Submitting to criminal predation is more virtuous than resisting it.
6. The poor are victims. Criminals are victims. And only victims are virtuous. Therefore only the poor and criminals are virtuous. By identifying with poor people and criminals richer people can borrow some virtue.
7. For a virtuous person, violence and war are never justified. It is always better to be a victim than to fight, or even to defend oneself. But ‘oppressed’ people are allowed to use violence anyway; they are merely reflecting the evil of their oppressors.
8. When confronted with terror, the only moral course for a Westerner is to apologize for past sins, understand the terrorist’s point of view, and make concessions.

Suicidalism can be a formidable weapon when used by an expert but in this case it appears some remedial training is needed.
Suicidalism?
DeleteGood grief, I'm saying we shouldn't let Muslims into our country in the first place.
As for invading theirs, if we do so then annihilate them. As it is, we turn over the Mid-East to Wahhabists to massacre the Christians, and then import the God damned lot of them here to hack off our own people's heads.
I don't care about Israel and I care even less for Palestine. Let them all kill each other, just don't bring them here.
I'm sure the recently appointed fact checker Mr Trioli will put Mr Faine right.
ReplyDeleteHow long will it be before the usual suspects demand prosecution of the cops for the shooting of the non-threatening suspects.
ReplyDeleteSo many commenters in the media have been completely stumped as to who these people were and why they did it. Same as with the Boston bombings.
ReplyDeleteSame as with all the 'individuals' recently caught and thwarted in bombing attempts everywhere.
It's a mystery, Prof.
I blame the lack of hands-on fireworks in nanny Western nations, myself. Most likely it's just a misguided attempt by keen young men to make DIY loud noises, that's all.
After all, what else could it be?
Virginia Trioli managed to get through the entire intro to the story with only a pained expression and no mention of Islam. It was only a the end of the report on the ground in Woolwich that we heard the word Muslim briefly mentioned.
ReplyDeleteSicking platitudes from Cameron about how many of us can be murdered but they won't win. etc., etc,, are shocking debasement of Winston Churchill in 1940.
