Dear O Sung Wu,

The media has a lot to answer for.
Their focus seems to be more on what's
newsworthy than anything else.

We need broad and committed thinkers to be addressing this issue. We do not have any measure of either in Trump.

Posted by SteeleRedux, Wednesday,

Talk about pot kettle black. Ideologically driven claptrap, by the Chamberlin's of today.

Come the Muslim takeover it may not be all bad. With the homosexuals, womens libbers, green ratbags, the ABC & the academics all gone very quickly, we might actually prosper.

The more I think about it, the better it gets, where do I sign up?

The funniest thing is, Steely would have to then approve of me. Now that is a good joke.

isn't it amazing how all the celebrities that are anti Trump, pro illegal immigrants, western hating are now showing disgust for the fruit of their stupidity. The young girl singer from America was one of these. I see she has rushed back to the country she contributes to being trashed for safety.

On another tack, an example of experts.

I once took the entire board of the Great Barrier Marine Park Authority, & a bunch of their hangers on & experts, out to the reef off the Whitsundays, on our 29 Metre International cat. Talking to them, & listening to some of the discussions I realised that at least half had never seen the reef up close. Almost 40% had only seen the reef from commercial air flights.

4 had spent some time at Lizard research station, & one at Herron, but the rest were Townsville based academics or researched in onshore fish tanks.

On the way out the chairperson asked me what the boats like ours would do when there was no more reef to see. They assured me that the Crown of Thorns was already decimating the area, & would be down to Lady Musgrave in less than a year.

When I assured them, a history professor by the way, that I had dive instructors running escorted dives 4 times a week from this boat, & they had found only three crown of thorns in the last 6 months, I was told my divers obviously didn’t know what one looked like. The last thing they wanted was truthful information to disrupt their story.

This is just so typical of the academic expert the ABC so love to give air time.

I see our logie winning Waleed has been awarded a phd for his views on Islam. It would be no different having a Catholic priest doing a thesis on paedophile although I doubt whether he would get the gong. Different rules apply to academics that tell what the narrative demands.

Gawd! Another one of Hasbeen’s trusty anecdotal testimonials. Fully controlled for potential bias, naturally.

Why bother telling us your stories, Hasbeen? How about you use them to earn yourself a Nobel Prize instead?
