*** CONCEALMENT OF THE TRUTH! ***

Hey everyone!

This article is actually brilliant. It highlights how politically correct phrases such as 'politically motivated violence' conceal the actual truth of what is being said.

While I am not always an Andrew Bolt fan, I do think this article highlights the concealment of language: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/police-and-politicians-lying-about-what-inspired-farhad-jabars-parramatta-police-shooting/story-e6frg6n6-1227560781745

Notice the quote: "And for many Australians, the deceitful language suggests our politicians lack the courage to even name that cause, let alone confront it."

"Yet police and ministers of the Turnbull Government still pretend this murder was not religiously inspired, but politically."

“This appears to have been an act of politically motivated violence,” claimed Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop agreed this was “a politically motivated killing”.

Even NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione repeated this deception: “We believe (Farhad’s) actions were politically motivated and therefore linked to terrorism.”

"Excuse me, but what political party did Farhad represent? Who is this “Allah” — a candidate at the next federal election?"

Enjoy the read!
