A Nation of Disease

Shane up a Gum Tree

 G'day Possums,

Mrs Wombat and I have been travelling, (lucky us).. we managed to escape another lockdown and visit No#1 daughter, husband and grands in Alice for a week. 

We also took a few days further south and stumbled around Uluru and Kata Tjuta which are magnificent in scale, colour and indigenous significance.

Not only did we escape lockdown but mercifully any mention of the nation's historically most incompetent, corrupt and useless PM, Scovid from Announcements.

But prior to our adventure Premier Dan Andrews or as the Neo-Fascists label him, Dictator Dan was being roundly pilloried for calling the state into lockdown #4 as a chap had crosssed into Vic from SA hotel quarantine and had tested positive for the Delta Strain of the virus and Andrews wanted it contained maintaining it was much more contagious than the original version. ABC's "Hissy-Fits" Sales and "The Specious One" Speers all joined in the cat-calling emanating from the Murdochracy and citing Scovid from Announcements' assertion that the Gold Standard of Sydney's a'la Gladdie Binchicken was the way to go and that Dan was paranoid.

Uluru

Unfortunately for the Murdocratic naysayers Andrews and team were on-the-money and they halted it reasonably quickly  but a few weeks later a couple of infectious removalists from Gladdie Binchicken's "Gold Standard" state sprinkled their Delta malaise throughout Vic and into regional areas for the first time causing lockdown#5. 

But this time the Murdochracy were in a quandry: Gladdie Binchicken's "Gold Standard' was looking a trifle Pyrites-like as the number of infections in NSW increased and looked like Uluru with more below sight than in it.

And of course Scovid from Announcements did what he does best in a crisis: Dodo-like, he disappeared ....this time to have hair plugs attached to his vacant skull in a vain attempt to improve his sagging image.

Uluru, early morning

Upon return, Scovid from Announcements for the first time began extolling the efficacy of hard lockdown and lying through his teeth that he had always supported Dan Andrews approach and that we should all get vaccinated as quickly as possible... only  forgetting that he hadn't ordered enough vaccines in the first place and that his vacillating on who should get the AZ and who the Pfizer was causing more confusion and hesitancy! 

Kata Tjuta, gorge

The immensity of the task has clearly overwhelmed Scovid from Announcements and his Hellsong-IPA cabal. Good only for announcements, spin and rorting public money, more and more of the public are now fully and clearly aware that this Ruling Rabble is  there only for the power it gives them and not for the well-being of the nation. Their miserable failure in every single aspect of governance will cost the nation dearly many years into the future.

"Freedom-Day" rallies have broken out at

Kata Tjuta, gorge

times various with anti-vaxxers joining the 5G implant, tin-foil hat, flat-earther, Libertarian brigades all extolling their individuality and willingness to harm others as they want.

The dicta of me, me, me, me of Little Johnny's relaxed and comfortable Liberals of insouciant selfishness now bearing its malignant fruit as exemplified by the quartet of 60 something "Pru's and Tru's" on the flight back to Melbourne who had repeatedly  to be told by cabin crew to keep their masks on... whilst I was reading an aptly telling passage from Bruce Pascoe's "Salt" of "...a nation without modesty, without compassion, a spoilt and selfish people forever chortling about goodness and mateship." and " Where there is sand, there is little rock."  

It is a Nation of Disease without a doctor.

White-Fella's Sand Painting

And so it goes.... beautiful, beautiful country...accomodation...ok... food.. terrible to ordinary and very very expensive ...service...good... but the country... early morning seems to bring out the subtlety of colour and those sentinals of She-Oak being so, so still, waiting, whispering, being.

And of course, not to forget the Alice Springs Asian Ladies Sunday Morning Crochet Class .....much fun and tinkling mirth being had.....

Hoo-roo petals,

Shane.

The Hour Cometh and Now Is ....

 

G'day Petals,

remember "the good-ol-days", specifically, before 2013 when politcal / policy blundering took place every few months, was eventually admitted to, rectified, apologised for and business then continued?

It's different now isn't it?

This is The Age of Scummo's Ruling Rabble, an IPA - Hellsong Cabal where since Truffles Turnbull was dispatched and a Titanic Palmer / Ugly American Murdochratic funded election "miracle" was engineered the country quickly degenerated into weekly scandals and crises and now after only two short years (though it feels a lifetime), they are daily.

It should came as no surprise that I think that the genesis of the appalling events bubbling to the surface of the Canberra cess-pool in these past weeks can be laid squarely at the door of the Murdochracy and its prime agent, the IPA. 

Since 1947 this largely Murdoch / Rinehart funded misnamed "Think-Tank" has worked assiduously and succeeded in infiltrating federal parliament, overturning or negating any social reform, public asset, infrastructure or progressive thinking so that the whole country can be sold out to private interests. Under the banner of Freedom of thought and action for a wealthier place, they are actually working toward a return to a feudal system.

Courts are attacked; held in contempt, opinion pieces denigrate social thinking, public education is vilified and Union leaders besmirched and lies proliferate.

And yet who are the alleged perpetrators of the past weeks / years atrocities? Why, the very same right-wing ilk, many IPA members, all espousing "family values", all supported by the Murdochracy which denigrates whistle-blowers, the victims and hounds the innocent while turning a blind eye to major corruption.

Scummo from Marketing pretending to be the  Billy Graham of Oz politics has said he will seek to change values that have been soured by social media. Bullshit... those values have become degraded through continued attacks on them, through the successive ignorant actions of his ministers who are afforded cart-blanche by the press and by police forces politically tainted. Journalists are complicit in this corruption to the extent that what they now write cannot be trusted. The ABC has been so gutted that it too is barely recognisable and only listened to very carefully to sift the "news" from the propaganda "spin".

The sense of hopelessness pervading this country is a direct result of IPA policy enacted by a faux xtian minority on an electorate continually fed false news. Policy which is discriminatory, policy which takes from the weakest to give to the stronger, policy designed to tax the poor and advantage the rich, policy of division,  of cruelty, of marginalization ... a policy of no future. 

The pandemic showed that social alternatives exist..... Scummo from Marketing and the Murdochracy are determined that they will not.

They are corrupt and need to be removed.

Hoo-roo, Possums,

Shane.

A Coalescence of Mendacity.

 

Enough is enough!

G'day Petals,

It's not often we publicly experience the how & what  manners in which the Scummo of Marketing's led Ruling Rabble-IPA-Hellsong cabal, act and think privately.

It may have taken the justifiable ire of thousands of women (and men) around the Australia to force a demonstration of this Ruling Rabble's ethical shallowness and the utter contempt they hold for those who are disgusted by the truths of the cultural and social "norms" they so blithely tolerate and practice; but force their hand, they did.

Fueled somewhat by an ABC expose' into the priapic party-boys of the Ruling Rabble, the newer revelations surrounding the staffer wanting redress for allegedly being raped in parliament just before the last federal election mounted:

How could it be that Scummo himself was "unaware"? Was it true the alleged rapist had left the country? How and by whose authority (Potato-Head, Dutton)had he vanished during a pandemic? Why hasn't he been interviewed (AFP & fellow Hellsong Traveller, Fuller)? Will the other four women who allege suffering similarly by his actions be interviewed? Will the list collated by female journalists of which parliamentarians to avoid being alone with in their offices be made public? Who authorised the "cleaning" of the sofa scene, (Horseshite Cormann)? Did her minister (Trooper, Reynolds) treat her sensitively (calling her a "lying Cow") and shove her off to that well known font of compassion (The Harpy, Cash) to be later, "let go"... before Trooper, suddenly feeling unwell makes a tearful exit from parliament to hide in hospital?

 

The Rabble's facade begins to crack as constructs and timelines unravel, the excuses/justifications/spin become less plausible, so selected Murdochratic minions are backgrounded to spread false trails and innuendo about the victim, family and the male friend assisting her when a small broadside from Grace Tame blows Scummo's faux empathy well into the Rapture.

Asked at a Press Club interview what she thought of Scummo of Marketing allegedly seeking his wife's advice "...to think of his daughters...," Tame  replied simply, that being a father or having daughters was not conditional for having either morals, ethics or a conscience.

The Murdocracy wilfully choose to report this as a direct attack on Scummo!

But worse was about to surface: a dossier some 35(?) pages from a woman recently suicided had been sent to selected Ruling Rabble and Labor people alleging she had been analy raped 30 years before by someone now very senior in the Ruling Rabble heirarchy.

At this point Petals, hubris, mendacity, moral turpitude, dissimulation and the Good-Ol-Boys, Members of The Big Swinging Dicks Club arise into clearer view and coalesce into one rancid, foetid accretion of Ruling Rabble existence. 

In the schtumm vacuum that ensues finger-pointing, date analysis, network details and school ties are all forensically examined and as the noose tightens, The Attorney General, The un-Christian Porter "outs" himself as the innocent victim, the alleged anal rapist of all this mayhem. 

"I-did-nuffin-guvna." whimpers the Un-Christian one, who says he hasn't read the dossier or met the woman in question for years... 

Later dis-proven. 

"He's innocent," bleats Scummo, who hasn't read the dossier either, " 'cause it wasn't in the same room." 

Which at this juncture, you really could ask, What does this bloke ever, ever, do apart from photo-promo's?

Porter goes on "vigourously defensive" sick leave..... so sick can only manage to employ some high legal fliers and brief them on sueing the ABC for defamation.  His priapic japes had earlier been sanctioned by then prime miniature, Truffles as a security risk and the aforementioned program didn't mention the alleged anal rape. 

Got that? Ok, Shadduppaya face!

This is what The Ruling Rabble-IPA-Hellsong cabal call freedom of the press, speech and expression.

True to form, selected minions of the Murdochracy are backgrounded on the dead woman's mental state, history, and find access to those papers seemingly not available to the AG Porter or Scummo of Marketing. Just remember, this is the same outfit who tapped a murdered girl's phone and withheld information from British police and also hacked celebrity phones for salacious profit.

Shouting, bellowing, ranting and singing, "Enough is Enough" protest marchers kicked off by Janine Hendry erupt all around the country for women to be listened to..and believed, except Scummo of Marketing, doesn't! Neither does his Minister for Women, Handmaid Payne of Arrogance; and the few Handmaid Rabblers who do attend the Canberra gathering only bemoan the fact that the organisers declined Scummo's "..exciting.." offer of a private audience for two or three to genuflect to the great man. 

Interestingly, the alleged anal rapist, Porter's second and estranged (seperated?) wife attended the Perth march. 

In parliament Scummo later paraphrases a "joke" made years ealier by Timmy The IPA Twat, Wilson about "turning fire-hoses on demonstrators" when he says, "The women should be thankful they live in a vibrant democracy where protesters aren't being shot!" ... and directs his rabble to turn their backs on all Labor speakers, particularly women, abuses parliamentary privilege by constantly shutting down question-time and annoints The Harpy, Cash who refused to co-operate with a police enquiry into her office and hid behind white-boards, as stand-in, Attorney General...I mean, satire is dead with these people...and they are getting well beyond Kafka!

If this doesn't ring some bells Petals, nothing will!

On a brighter note: The Ruling Rabble has been virtually wiped out in the West Australian state election, Scummo saying it's state's matters... many think not. It's this rotten, incompetent IPA-Hellsong cabal, that's the core of a growing national disquiet....against a coalescence of mendacity masquerading as a government.

Hoo-roo Petals,

Shane.

 

The Pandemic of Rape or how a minority befouled democracy and a nation.

Shane is featured today in the burrow’s studio on the chassis of the current “project” “A-Moke-for-Maddie”, (mentioned last post) … and the photos are from the Alice Springs environs.

 Again, it's been another three months between drinks Petals and the reason for the tardiness is the same, it becomes just too depressing repetitively writing such a negative essay each week…. and often on the same topics, featuring the same culprits bowdlerising the remnants of our civil society. But the past fortnight has thrown a much brighter light on these culprits, their “activities” and delinquency and stimulated the nascent anger to write again; an anger now more apparent, bubbling through the electorate, too.

It has occurred to me that although the IPA/Ruling-Rabble/Hellsong cabal of Scummo from Marketing lacks many things: talent, vision, honesty, creativity, manners and empathy just being a few, it does have two things; unknowing perseverance, and in inordinate abundance: hubris.

Before Covid-19 re-regulated the way we live and interact perhaps we were too busy to fully notice those two characteristics (I ‘m loathe to call them qualities even though Scummo from Marketing probably would) …..but since we’ve all had to step back from our lives, much like the skies being bluer and the stars crisper due to fewer planes exhausting the air those other things have become much clearer too, particularly the latter.

Their hubris pushed along by unknowing perseverance has been like a tumbling, coalescing gas slowly becoming more rank the more visible it becomes as it envelops and fuses the country into a fascist state.

Whereas we, the “locked-down” and “socially-distanced” “working-from -home” were learning that the morning city coffee/ movie screening/ cocktail bar/ restaurant and other “social” imperatives of before, weren’t... the IPA/Ruling-Rabble/Hellsong cabal were learning, much to their chagrin too, that good-old pump-priming socialism works and actually performs much better than rampant capitalism in a crisis and that Galbraith’s words, “If the individual's wants are urgent, they must be original with himself” meant that consumerism was being seen as a construct and not a natural.

Oh, the horror they must have felt as they looked to a now uncertain future….but wait.. perseverance and The Ugly American Murdoch, his little cousin Stokes and pale shadow, Costello would proselytise Gina’s and Twiggy’s rancid miasma of visions for them.

First in Sydney’s Aged Care, then Melbourne’s, all private and Commonwealth controlled, Covid struck down the weakest till 635(?) were dead. Was the minister responsible? Nahh…. “I don’t hold a bedpan mate,” said Colbeck ...but responsible for $2,000,000,000.00 being raped from aged care funding.

Covid escaped from cruise ship Ruby Princess (it being said and never denied that Ruling-Rabble-Hellsonger Minister Alex Hawkes in-laws were aboard and wanted off) causing some 100’s of infections throughout the country. Were Potato-Head Dutton’s Border-Farce boys responsible? “Nahh, I wont have you besmirching their character at an enquiry” He said, raping transparency.

“Nahh.. it’s all good, go to the footy, we’ll start lockdown next week” (sotto voce ) after the Sydney Hellsong Conference,” bloated Scummo from Marketing as he raped health accountability and his Hellsongers spread the virus far and wide.

“I support the Premiers in all they do during this crisis,” announced Scummo again.. haughtily raping truth, as he furiously back-grounded Murdocractic scribes to undermine the Labor Premiers in particular whilst praising to the heavens the most corrupt and/or inept in the country, Sydney’s Gladdy B.

“Oohhh, we can eat properly, buy some clothes, see the dentist,” enthused the unemployed whose regular pittance was suddenly topped-up to a livable amount with Jobseeker only to now see it reduced virtually to where it was before the pandemic and then witness Abacus Friedbrain the Treasurer raping fiscal accountability, and warning against “engaging in Class war,” by wanting business’ who had pocketed or used billions of Jobkeeper taxpayer money to top-up their board members bonuses to return it. But Robo-Debt will get you even though it’s illegal!

“Let’s buy some French Subs,” minced Pyne-on-the-Take “although the deals a shonk,” as he raped defence in the face of Chinese expansionism and was ably assisted in the rape by the “lying cow” Reynolds who’s understandably quiet about the other fact; that our new multi-billion dollar F-35 ‘s are considered duds by their country of origin.

Then there was Minister for Non-Communication, Fletcher wanting ABC further raped and not show a 4Corners program showing the AG in the glaring light of reality.. We now know why!

There was Scummo from Marketing, hypocritically giving Australian of the Year to Grace Tame… an abuse survivor and potent activist just before the actual rapes details really hit the fan leaving Hunt, Fletcher, Reynolds, Cormann and schadenfreude / deliciously, Cash all covered in it…..with others of their rancid ilk, Murdocratic scribes included, teetering on the edge of exposure….and Tame later receiving applause at the Press Club for her succinctly truthful answers to direct questions about Scummo’s response motivations. The man (?) who never knows, who‘ s never there, who ‘s never told, who ‘s never responsible, who is never at fault….. the arrogant miasma himself.

We need to clear the air Possums.

Cheers,

Shane
