G'day
Possums,
So,
it's only been two months since the last election and already it feels like an
eternity as The Happy-Clapper, Prosperity-Pentacostalist Anti-Christ and bogan
Prime Miniature, Scummo and his Ruling Rabble struggle to find anything
positive to do for the nation.
Oh,
there's prayer!
Rallying
with 21,000 of the 2% he actually rules for, Scummo exhorted them and by
inference, us, for all to show more
love to each other. Except of course if you are a refugee in a concentration
camp, unemployed, homeless, in need of public education, health care or on a
pension, as his "brand" of xtianity extols the money- lender and
eschews caring for others for that is too, too socialist and besides, one's own
salvation is paramount.
Oh,
but we should pray about things like climate change, the drought and the great
Barrier Reef's destruction ....seems that $400 million gifted to some friends,
just 'aint cutting the mustard on the water matter. Yep, How Good is That,
lining up with his brethren of similar fantasy ilk in the Un-united States,
Scummo would like more prayer to solve things; even though they are matters
better left to competent, practical and deliberate governance.
It's a joyous pity then to report that of at least ten studies
into the efficacy prayer, particularly in medical situations carried out in the
U-Usa, have shown that prayer is a peculiarly ineffective treatment and that "... patients who knew they were being prayed for had a higher rate of
post-operative complications like abnormal heart rhythms, perhaps because of
the expectations the prayers created, the researchers suggested.
But isn't it nice to know he's thinking of us at all?
Why, even at the Ruling Rabble cabal's group grope in The
Deep North had thought bubbles bursting forth like apple blossoms in Spring.
Thoughts which extended to A/: declaring the ABC an "enemy of the
LNP" ( aka.. the Ruling Rabble) and, B/: establishing an "Office of
Science Quality Assurance".
Resolution "A" is perfectly understandable. The
ABC generally has commentators both on radio and TV who can impartially analyse
and discuss matters of policy and state in depth and with this is at odds with
the one track, tunnel visions the right-wing, neo-liberal propagandists are
used to participating in on the majority of Oz media as a consequence, they
feel highly irrelevant and intellectually bereft and unable to contribute much
at all when such conversations occur.
Ergo... close down the ABC, problem solved!
Resolution "B" is not dissimilar. It would enable
a genius like Senator, Mal-Addled Roberts to veto or ratify scientific reports
handed to the government.
This would have some historical precedence such as Galileo
having to submit to the C17th Roman Inquisition but less clear in the present
age is the role the Pentecostal prosperity gospel will play in this farce
proposed by Ms Frackingbum... and at least the Roman boys had some eduction
behind them.
Further demonstrating the Ruling Rabble's empathy and
understanding of those they rule, SS (Shutz staffel or Social Services,
take your pick) Minister Annie The
Ribald, Ruston was, having declared on right-wing radio that the pension was
"generous", forced to duck numerous Zimmer frames, crutches and
plates of aluminium encased food on leaving the studio but was agile enough on
her way to her government chauffeured vehicle to slalom around the many
menacing disability scooters whose irate drivers were intent on flattening her
political future.
And then there was the Butcher of Fallujah, ex senator Molan
the Grate auditioning for a reprise on QandA by blithely dismissing indigenous
calls for constitutional recognition by opining that if you let them have
recognition why not the Chinese , Turks, Greeks, Vietnamese etc, as well? His
ignorance both intellectually and emotionally in repudiating indigenous
cultural claims, was well served by his overtly selfish fascism.
Molan the Grate started a week which then provided the most
excoriating example of Australia's racism, The Taking Down of Adam Goodes. This
film was a compilation of Goode's career as an Aboriginal footballer, concentrating on his last two years as he was constantly booed and heckled at
every game till this talented "Australian of the Year" resigned and left.
What was brought into clear focus was the intensity and
volume of the racism stoked by such large and well funded media groups, mostly
The Ugly American Murdoch's and such constant regressive voices as Miranda
Devine, Andrew Bolt, Ray Hadley, Alan Jones, Steve Price, Eddie McGuire and Sam
Newman who manipulated disgraceful crowd behaviour around to be the victims
fault. These people are putrid examples of a corrupt media, aiding and abetting
in corrupting a nation; The Murdoch legacy being wrought here as it has been in
Britain and in America to these nation's detriment........ we are diminished
because of them and our own stupidity.
No wonder Denmark
has banned such a vile organization from their shores.
Hoo-roo Petals,
who said the wheels aren't falling off?
