Fearmongering: the media’s creation of fear in the general public – Pearls and Irritations

Breaking news on tv. Man watching live television broadcast program.

Currently, the Voice has been ramped up as a major racial divide in a country in which the racial divide has existed since 1788. It was only recently that the LNP was insisting Multiculturalism was the nation’s biggest mistake in Australian Immigration in the 70s letting the Lebanese and other non-Anglos in. They now insist we should return to focus on who we let in and Assimilation policies instead.

Remember Australian Education needed to establish a degree in Western Culture and that black arm history not be taught in primary or secondary schools. Dutton made it perfectly clear that Muslims and Africans were unwanted and mocked Pacific Island neighbor’s fears of Climate Change . Boomgate revealed the true nature of the LNP and even showed Morrison the ad-man freaking out. Abbott wanted the return of Knights and Dames and us to be a part of NATO, not the Pacific or Asia.  Morrison gave us AUKUS. He saw political advantage in promoting division. He used the Cronulla riots employing fear and bullshit to win his own preselection for the seat of Cook. The LNP has never really welcomed us being a Pacific Nation but has always preferred to see the nation through a European Western and a white Christian lens. Korea in the 50s, Indonesia, and Vietnam were a threat in the 60s, and the Chinese here, and China always a threat this century. Howard even stole Pauline Hanson’s Asian hatred out from under her, My god we had a ALP PM who spoke Chinese for god’s sake.

Division has been central to the LNP’s strategy and tactic and still is in order for them to maintain any political relevance. It’s why fear, fragmentation, and Voting No is so important to them

It has often been suggested that the LNP have always used an underlying fear and insecurity in the general public as a means of securing voting support on the basis that they offer better protection against external and internal threats. Typically, these threats are left vague, yet it is wholly evident that the main stream media is intent on ramping up China as an external threat and Middle East and youth crime gangs as an internal threat. Is Climate Change presented as a threat to our security? Rarely, and usually in an entirely non-systematic manner.

Gas giant bills threat: price hikes of up to $430 predicted

Australia is one of the world's largest gas exporters

AWU National Secretary Daniel Walton said it was a disgrace ordinary families were being slugged “simply because the prime minister is too gutless to pull a handful of multinational gas exporters back into line”.

“By allowing exporters to ship Australia’s natural gas to foreign markets without restriction, the federal government is hammering average working families from multiple angles,” Mr Walton told Fairfax Media.

The impact of wholesale gas prices on consumer energy prices is significant because gas power generators are often the marginal supplier  and therefore set prices.

Fox uses flawed data from DHS to fearmonger about immigrants

One needs to ask why 1.4% of crime in Australia is being given so much political attention by Peter Dutton and Malcolm Turnbull and the 98.6% is being ignored and why Victoria and Melbourne is their focus when crime and youth crime in the state has had a dramatic fall. Is it because Sudanese are Black? Is it because they are Christians or is it because Victoria is a Labor State? After all, Qld Dutton’s home state has 50% more youth crime and on the rise and is less populated than Victoria and NSW Turnbull’s has 150% more crime. Why is their political and racist focus so obvious? Is this the caliber of politicians this country needs? Don’t look for the answers in Murdoch’s media. (old dog thought)

Man Dehydrates After Discovering Water Is Halal Certified…a victim of Islamaphobia promoted by the intelligent media

A Brisbane man has died of dehydration today after refusing to consume water following the revelation that technically water is halal certified.

Forty two year old Brisbane local Keith Sheen, a noted opponent of what he believes Halal to mean, brazenly refused to consume water or any drink containing water to protest Halal certification. He also vocally expressed his outrage that two-thirds of the planet he inhabited was composed of what he called ‘the Muslim liquid’.

His body succumbed to dehydration earlier this morning.

Mr. Sheen had previously complained about products in his local supermarket containing dietary information such as Halal certification.

“Why should I have to look at that when it doesn’t apply to me,” Mr. Sheen once wrote to his local newspaper. “It’s the same with these peanut allergy warnings. I don’t personally have a peanut allergy so we should get rid of them for everyone. It’s only fair.”

“You know what harm it does me to look at Halal certification? None at all. But what if the answer was ‘some’? That would be unacceptable.”

Sheen insisted that his objection to Halal certification was not on the basis of racism or anti-religious bigotry, claiming he was not personally a racist but just “said racist things and acted in a racist way all the time”.

A statement released by his family praised Sheen’s commitment to his principles.

“Our father was a man of principle and his death is another sign that Sharia Law has gone too far or perhaps not far enough. We are not clear on what Sharia Law is or how far it should go.”

A memorial service will be held for Keith Sheen this Wednesday. The wake has been delayed due to complications in finding non-halal certified food to serve.
