As Debord put it, “We can truly understand this society only by negating it.” If the “experts” lose influence, it will be because the public has rejected them outright, articulates that their role is to deceive on behalf of the powerful.

Howard should be tried for ‘conspiracy to commit mass murder’, says Andrew Wilkie ex Lieutenant Colonel ADF.
Howard says Wilkie an ex ADF intelligence officer ex LNP member is wrong despite being embarassed. Malcolm Fraser said it then and is still saying it now.
Independent MP says former prime minister should be ‘deeply ashamed that he lied’ over the 2003 invasion of Iraq
MP Andrew Wilkie “I was shocked to see that John Howard is only embarrassed, almost embarrassed for himself. What he should be is deeply ashamed that he lied to the Australian public 11.5 years ago, and took us into an unnecessary war, a war that has killed countless Iraqis and other people, which effectively destroyed that country and created the conditions for the rise of not just the Islamic State but other groups,” Wilkie told reporters in Canberra.
“Look frankly I’m disappointed that the prosecutor at the international criminal court hasn’t thought to hold John Howard responsible for conspiracy to commit mass murder.”
Howard argued the 2003 invasion did not play a major role in the rise of Isis which now holds large swathes of Syria and northern Iraq.
Wilkie said Howard should have made a “compelling humanitarian” case for dealing with Saddam Hussein in 2003 and told the voters the invasion was about Australia’s bilateral relationship with America, not WMDs.
When asked again if he was suggesting Howard was partly responsible for the rise of Isis, Wilkie responded “I’m not suggesting it, I’m stating it as fact”.
“If we had not gone to war 11.5 years ago, and destroyed that country and created this security vacuum, then the circumstances would not exist for Islamic State to have emerged and to grown strong and to conquer the land that it does. So yes, they are responsible.”
The exception proves the rule is when a rule expresses a tendency or preference rather than a hard-and-fast delineation, and the difficulty encountered in going against that tendency demonstrates the force of the rule.
Most swans are white. I have seen a black swan.
For Andrew Bolt: The exception disproves the rule. He uses it to disprove Climate Science, Australian Immigration Policy, Asylum Seekers, Morality of Islam. Exceptions are Bolt’s 38 Magnum bullets of choice when having his ” Garry Cooper High Noon” fantasies.
The Rule: Australian Immigration screens out unsuitable immigrants
The Exception
TWO first cousins in an arranged marriage are being investigated for immigration and Centrelink fraud and rorting the baby bonus by returning to Australia from Lebanon for the births of some of their seven children.
The husband, 39, was granted citizenship in 2006 in circumstances which Judge Harman said troubled him since the couple had decided to live in Lebanon.
How could immigration officials possibly have thought it in the national interest to grant this man citizenship? 23/7/14
BOLT AUSTRALIAN Immigration Screening is inappropriate and needs to be changed.
The Rule: Afghanistan is an appropriate country for humanitarian intake.
The Exception
Afghanistan.How compatible exactly is that Islamic culture?:
It was bad enough that the alleged rape took place in the sanctity of a mosque [in Afghanistan] and that the accused man was a mullah who invoked the familiar defense that it had been consensual sex.
But the victim was only 10 years old. And there was more: The authorities said her family members openly planned to carry out an honor killing in the case – against the young girl. The mullah offered to marry his victim instead.
This past week, the awful matter became even worse. On Tuesday, local policemen removed the girl from the shelter that had given her refuge and returned her to her family, despite complaints from women’s activists that she was likely to be killed.
BOLT Afghanistan is an inappropriate country and Islam an inappropriate culture for Austarlia’s Humanitarian intake
“Some Afghans who worked with the Australian troops are nervously waiting to see if they’re able to gain residency in Australia.”
“Firstly the moral obligation that we have to these people needs to be fulfilled, because if we don’t do it, they run the risk of being killed or otherwise persecuted. Secondly, there’s a simple practical principle that comes into play – if we go into a future war overseas where we need to engage local people to help us as interpreters, you need to be able to assure them that if things go wrong, Australia will take steps to protect them from persecution or death. And so there’s both a moral obligation and quiet simply a practical advantage to having a policy of evacuating those who help you in overseas wars.”
Two of Bolt’s recent blogs He pretended to apply Deductive Logic to prove flawed Social Policies in our approach to immigration. Unless Bolt had an encyclopedia of these exceptions they far more likely to support our screening efforts as neither of these events are commonplace amongst Lebanese or Afghan Australians living here.
He doesn’t score well on Inductive Logic either because he would need to come up with scores of individual cases to prove that his generalizations have any merit. He loses out there as well if you look at police and other social agency reports. Hardly scientific reasoning just fluff, cherry picking and personal biased speculation. Failed on that score as well Bolt.
Grade: First Year Uni Failure
Doctors don’t use either Deductive or Inductive thinking when diagnosing a patient’s problems. They list the symptoms and realize that one diagnosis generally doesn’t explain or fit all symptoms. They select an make an intelligent guess often in conference with other professionals and apply the laws of probability. Juries are asked to do much the same having been presented with the evidence of a case.
Abductive thought an how probable is the result.
Isn’t it great that a principal in British law is that you are ‘Innocent until Proven Guilty’ If evidence leaves room for doubt the case remains ‘Unproven’ not for Bolt. All Muslims are guilty. Therefore there are no humanitarian grounds for a Muslim intake. Even asking why puts you on the opposite side of the barricade to Bolt.
Bolt can’t figure that his exceptions in so many ways prove the rule.
