I applaud you for making this thread, and hope that in 20 years we can close it as Fox goes off the air. Hey, I can dream can't I?

I always find myself wanting to appologize to americans and brits for inflicting Rupert Murdoch on you guys. Sorry, this is australias fault :(

Dudes completely loving with the political discourse here in australia too. Owns 70% of the print media and in my view is almost entirely responsible for australias decline from a euro style liberal welfare democracy in the early 90s into a racist loving rat trap in 2012

20 years of hysterical headlines about "welfare cheats", "muslim extremists", "communist labor/union conspiracies" etc will do that to a country.

Just wait until Gina Rinehart becomes the richest person in the world. :negative: Her whole thing is buying the media to promote Milton Friedman style Libertarianism.

Its almost unbearable to think about. Should Gina go global, people will be catching airplanes to australia just to punch locals in retaliation for inflicting that loony warlock on them.

In case anyone wonders who I'm refering to, I'll just post her poem:

quote:

Our Future

The globe is sadly groaning with debt, poverty and strife
And billions now are pleading to enjoy a better life
Their hope lies with resources buried deep within the earth
And the enterprise and capital which give each project worth
Is our future threatened with massive debts run up by political hacks
Who dig themselves out by unleashing rampant tax
The end result is sending Australian investment, growth and jobs offshore
This type of direction is harmful to our core
Some envious unthinking people have been conned
To think prosperity is created by waving a magic wand
Through such unfortunate ignorance, too much abuse is hurled
Against miners, workers and related industries who strive to build the world
Develop North Australia, embrace multiculturalism and welcome short term foreign workers to our shores
To benefit from the export of our minerals and ores
The world's poor need our resources: do not leave them to their fate
Our nation needs special economic zones and wiser government, before it is too late

And she wants to buy free to air television and newspapers around the world to push hard-core right wing politics that'd make Murdoch look like an old commie.

1340 AM from 9 to 10 AM during the week. I'm in Palm Beach County, though, and the show broadcasts from Lake Worth. I don't know if you guys get it.

It's this


Pretty funny sandwiched between all those other shows.

I put this on on my laptop to see what sort of filth it was, then fell asleep. Woke up to some racist ranting, thought it was some other thing I listened to and almost threw my laptop across the room in a fit of anger.

His daughter had to take him to Russia because you can’t get revolutionary medical treatments like “scramble his brain into a loving coma” in restrictive countries like the US

So I had to look this one up.

This is kind of a bad article because the author doesn't appear to understand addiction any more than Peterson or crazy daughter, but *holy poo poo*. They did loving "deep sleep" therapy on him. That poo poo fucks people up severely. There was a notorious mental hospital near me that in the 1960s and 70s specialized in this poo poo, and a very high percentage of the patients ended up basically epileptic semi-vegatables.

Kinda curious about what sort of damage he aquired out of this.

COPS already has a couple famous legal failures for the Police under its belt, because it turns out a show that records police being power tripping assholes might get used by someone's defense attorney.

Half that poo poo was staged anyway. Back in my student days I did a big essay on it for film class analysing an episode, and one of the raids was some super transphobic thing rounding up "trannies" (cops word not mine), and there was another part where they are about to bash down a door, and the camera switches to one on the opposite side of the conversation, but in neither shot could you see the other camera. I remember my lecturer balking at it accusing me of paranoia, becuase "Documentary makers dont do that!" until I showed her the actual footage and she was all "Oh poo poo, it really is staged!".

In fairness, the left has historically been notorious for this too. I was reading my universities archives from the old student activist days in the 1970s and at one point the local student newspaper published a list of people it was "outing" as CIA and/or ASIO (this is in australia) agents.

It was basically just the membership list of the local Socialist Worker Party. Written by a member of Australian Communist Party.

Remember that whole judean peoples front/peoples front of judea skit from monty python? Yeah thats what that is about. The left where notoriously paranoid back in the day. Mindyou back then govts really where out to persecute the left. Arguably they still are. (oh no spooooky antifa!)
