The Continuing Insanity's of the Ruling Rabble Mk2.

Shane and Dangerous Wind Power

G'day Possums,

A severe, "Once-in-50-Year", (according to that Soviet Cell at the Bureau of Meteorology) storm and two small tornadoes swept through South Australia, felled about 23 high power transmission lines and caused the back-up to Victoria's grid to fail, leaving the whole state blacked out. 

Our faux Federal leader forever fearful of his right wing flapping, Truffles Turdball on being informed of something,  played an insane line that the real cause of the blackout was that SA had 40% of its grid powered by wind and solar!

Aided and abetted by a compliant ABC in tabloid propaganda mode, the Famous Five: Truffles, Fiction's Frydenberg, Barnyard Joyce, Exhibitionista Xenephon and Mal-Addled Roberts all decided it was time to nobble this dangerous energy source once and for all. An inquiry into the myth of human produced Carbon as a climate change agent, and cheap reliable, environmentally friendly coal is just the ticket according to Mal-Addled the One Neuron Notion Senator from The Deep North. That world weather patterns are becoming increasingly violent and the fact that we've just passed 400PPM of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere didn't phase this crusading seeker of empirical evidence as he went on to call for,"  ....all to urgently exit all climate change policies that are the direct cause of this huge mess in SA."

Now, isn't all that innovative? No? Well, agile with the facts at least!

“No man is exempt from saying silly things; the mischief is to say them deliberately.” Michel de Montaigne.

 

The inherent dangers of solving the problem of climate change without the goodness of Coal.

Burying his head further into the sand, Truffles has decided that the misleading information from the anti-equality agit-prop leaflets disseminated in Sydney by senior members of his Liarbril Party will not affect a "civil" debate prior to the now problematical plebiscite on marriage equality. This group, "Children's Future" ( "...give me a child till he is seven... etc....") apparently has links to the secretive right-wing Catlic club, Opus Dei, an organization founded by Spanish prelate Jose' Maria Escriva in 1928 which flourished after the Civil war under the fascist, General Franco.

It's nice to know that "free-speech" is alive and well and that the Inquisition isn't too far away!

"I agree that everyone has the right to peace and harmony, but the gays and lesbians are now wanting to change my way of thinking, who I am," said the Red Menace from Ipswich.

"I come from a time when there was no discussion about gay marriage. That's my background, that's what I've grown up with." "If you feel so strongly about it, I'm sure you can move to that country and then you can have that marriage," she said."

The Red Menace would probably feel more at home in Pyongyang.

Descending into a theatrical quagmire of irrelevancy and proving Orwell as prophet, Kafka as role model, Ayn Rand as scriptwriter and Dali as producer The Red Menace re-iterates the putridly low level of intelligent discourse the ethically and morally bereft "right" of Australia now  proselytise to a  dumbed-down nation.

Just like Mandy Il Patrone,  Vanstone  (QandA 26-9-16) who extolled the virtues of those waiting patiently for 12-15 years before the skerrick of humanity left in this mongrel rabble kicks in and they deign to allow them entry as refugees. A truly Panglossian sentiment more suited to the C15th than the C21st. To much applause from the rooly noice audience, Il Patrone presented a reassuringly and patronizingly mythical confection of how to control others futures without the guilt. I wonder if Vivian Solon and Cornelia Rau were as accepting and appreciative of Il Patrone's "humanity."

“We should tend our freedom wisely.” M.de M.

Reflections

Finally, Australia’s education department paid Bjørn Lomborg’s climate skeptic Copenhagen Consensus Centre $640,000 to help produce a report that claimed limiting world temperature increases to 2C was a “poor” use of money.

Bjorn has left the country. He richer.... us, none the wiser!

Faux Freedom Fighter and ex Boy Wonder, Wyatt Roy has popped up in Iraq (illegally it seems) allegedly seeking motivation and meaning from the Peshmerga but in reality garnering support for his next tilt at pre-selection for the seat he lost at the last election. In a 10 minute advertisement on ABC's 7.30 hosted by what looked and sounded to me like Leigh Sales in drag, Wyatt's "what-I-did-on-my-holiday" exuded all the boyish charm of a young unemployed Liarbril taking himself too seriously as a wonderful plastic humanitarian.

I think it would be a very good idea if we could crowd-fund his return and give ISIS another crack at him.

“We are all blockheads.”  M. de M.

Guthrie's Gotta Go

There was a deja-vu revelation of sorts in the American presidential debate between a loopy far right-winger and a standard right-winger. The LFRW tried to excite the audience with calls for Jobson Growth, Tax cuts for the wealthy, Laura 'n Order, Innovation, and I think I heard "agility" get a guernsey, too. Only to be told by the SRW that trickle-down economics doesn't really work. Having heard all the former from Truffles as if it was something original a few months ago I can only assume that this is what is meant by Globalisation.

If it is, I have an ominous feeling as to the path we are being lead down by the ruling rabble Mk2's application of the IPA's imported theoretical mumbo-jumbo.

Hoor-roo, petals

Shane

Winter Follies...

Shane in Snow

G'day Petals,

Winter has really hit as the pics this week attest and with the MSM (in some cases funding)  as well as the ABC giving much time to the racist and stupid "One Notion" leader, the country's attention is becoming frozen into pointless fear-mongering and the uselessness of overt racism.

Ahh... but now we have the ruling rabble Mk2.... happily, not only significantly less in number (16) and less competent in this iteration but more divided, fractious, narrow minded and 16 times more  bereft of policy as before.

With the heavy hitters like KPMG and BCA et al, all singing the same refrain from the "free-market', IPA songbook, am I the only one who senses a whiff of early desperation in that the simmering anger in the electorate over the Rabid-the-Hun/Eleventy Hockey/Do-do Dutton /Slasher Ley/Horseshite Cormann cabal has not diminished but has in fact, expanded since the election? 

You might ask now, "Why Hanson?"

Hissy-Fit Sales  (7:30) continues in her Guthrie appealing ways, giving failed 24 YO LNP proto-fascist, Wyatt Roy a free ride on by introducing him as having narrowly lost his seat to Labor ( "but that 10% of the vote went to One Notion....") and not only avoiding mention of his woeful electorate and campaigning performance but also his asinine "work till you're 70" plans. 

Interruptions: Nil!          When is proselytizing for one side, "balanced," Hissy-Fit?

Truffle's then gets another uninterrupted space to rant on and on and on about the deviousness of Labor and their lying over Liarbril policy and other nasty bits.... and... mummy, mummy, mummy I don't like Labor telling on me with facts and fings....  in such a pathetic synthetic manner, he was almost getting to the point of priceless hysteria.

 I suppose we can now add to his incompetence as a politician, lack of leadership skills and policy integrity, Truffles' complete inability as an actor!

If that misogynist Price wants to see hysterical behaviour perhaps he should have a look at Truffle's high pitched bumbling about Labor's "lies" over Medicare.

Oh, now in case you subscribe to Truffle's view on this, just reflect on the fact that self administered blood testing strips have quietly had their price increased by 600%.

Now, where's that lie again?

The ruling rabble's factions are now fighting over their dismally thought through superannuation policy... with Arfuh Da Spiv Sinodinas saying that they will now change the policy they took to the election... if only he could remember it... poor Arfuh!

Turnbull insists this post-election policy back-flip is "fair" and "long overdue".... and this from a  ruling rabble who would have you believe that they are still the best of economic managers...in control, on top of things prudent, measured and actually ....completely dishonest, clueless and incompetent in balancing the Australian people's needs with the demands of big business.

Truffles digs for some loose change and gives $1,000,000.00  (some are saying 2 mill)  to cash strapped Liarbrils to secure his prime miniature-ship.  An odd concept really, the privatization of a free-market party.

Hmmm.. and he's supposed to be economically prudent?

It seems that each of the electorally ditched conservatives will receive a $100,000.00 "re-adjustment" (?) gift .  Why no-one is asking why is a problem....  and true to form, no-one is telling.

So, "Eleventy", you'll be pleased to know the Age of Entitlement  still only runs one way!

On another pecuniary  note, Damien Mantach (he of very nasty liarbril advertising bent) has just been given five years in the slammer for filching $1,500,000.00 from his fellow free-marketeers. This gets mentioned in the media but he's no Slippery Pete, ($900, life destroyed) or Thommo, ($24,000.00, life destroyed) is he?  It will all quietly disappear.. ....unless of course it is discovered that he was secretly a member of the CFMEU.    Mantach'll be out in 21/2 years. Yet no-one is publicly questioning the Tassie branch of the ruling rabble and their role in this piece of fraud, are they Vichy Abetz? Addenda:  Mantach was charged on 15 counts of fraud and obtaining money by deception and pleaded guilty to all charges.  Each charge carries a sentence of between 10 and 15 years. 
Sentenced to 5 when 145-225 was the go?  Even taking into account his marital problems, his confession and guilty plea; this sentence seems generously short............. hmmm.... who leant on whom, here? 

Bloody hell... the Liarbrils are going to make mince-meat of Hanson in parliament... watching her on QandA she's not even out of her depth ...she hasn't even got into the water yet!

The stupid woman was sitting next to Sam Dastyari  unaware he was a Muslim till he was telling his family story of leaving Iran when she blurted, "....but, are you a Muslim?" He then informed her that he was....this dim,  Deep Northern racist is so 'ahead of the game" that she missed all the media coverage of him and his Iranian background and obviously hadn't done any research on the other QandA  panelists either as she seemed utterly unprepared for the obvious questions both from them and the audience.

She can only respond in an animated fashion to populist raving and any serious questions leave her confused, confounded and tongue-tied.

It's also worth remembering that 20 years ago Hanson once held pre-selection for the LNP in Queensland, until Little Johnnie Howard, (under much pressure) had her candidacy revoked because of her racist utterings toward Indigenous Australians and Asian migration.

Just another telling episode in the evidence of the ruling rabble's sorry management skills in the selection of appropriately qualified candidates for Canberra!

Much video footage has been bandied about of the celebratory "party" room as the diminished ruling rabble meet for the first time since their near-death electoral experience... and didn't it look, "all for the cameras?"

If this was Mark Textor's idea, it was another clunker. This lot only look genuinely happy when tearing at the entrails of some mangled social policy or rorting their parliamentary entitlements.

But Hanson serves her purpose. All the rednecks can get their rocks off spreading fear, fright and confusion throughout the land whilst the ruling rabble wring their hands and quietly say, "It's not us... oohh.. isn't she naughty," ...and get on with the real agenda, the implementation of the IPA's  free-market manifesto for the economic and social destruction of a once civil society.

Hoo-roo Possums,

Shane

Going from bad to worse...

G’day Possums,,, here’s a shot of where I live… taken early this morning…

Greendale Landscape

Random Wombat Droppings …or how we are going from bad to worse and to hell in a handbasket

It has always struck me how angry the "right" are. I think it's born of the frustration that aspirationals must feel in that that which they aspire to is unattainable because of the political and social structure. Greed, selfishness and short-sightedness combine with their aspiration to engender fear of any "social" contract which might limit their individual advancement and at the same time they are constantly reminded  that the system of their aspiration is stacked against them.

But then, by the same token the hate I feel toward the likes of the clowns from the IPA, Blot-on-the-Landscape, Rabid-the-Hun, Loopy Leyonhjelm et al, is born a similar frustration that these mongrels get their way at the expense of society as a whole, most of the time.

The “Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe”…the IPA is running the show. Malcon Turdball-Fop will be kept as the Ruler of this Ruling Rabble because electorally he’s safe… but otherwise he’ll have to tow the Murdoch, Rinehart, Miners and Bankers line. What sovereignty Australia had will be finally eliminated and every single public service will be privatised.

 Le Jongleur Roskam will the Chair of the Board and Malcon will become permanent faux PM.

“Far from deserving praise, the half-reversal of CSIRO and NICTA funding cuts simply highlights the need for the Turnbull Liberals to review all of their cuts to science, research and innovation which include:
$107m from the Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) program
$75m from the ARC
$27.5m from ANSTO
$7.8m from AIMS
$16.1m from Geoscience Australia
$20m from the Bureau of Meteorology
$120m from DSTO
$174m from the Research Training Scheme"

Triggs is “Woman of the Year” A beacon of sanity in a nation fast losing its way in an IPA thought bubble.

Ahhh... Liarbril sagacity, management and innovation... myths that make the Dreamtime look like scientific fact!

Buggered the NBN, blown the budget and rorted the parliamentary entitlements  like there was no tomorrow. With the biggest leaner, Joe “Eleventy, Cereal/Toyota Killer “ Hockey getting a job in Washington…. I didn’t realise we hated the Yanks that much…but at least it will limit his potential for ongoing damage to Australia.

The Paris Climate talks have shown that Oz is now third last in the world in our emission targets…. From leading the world to third last of 128 Nations in just 2 ½ short years is quite a Liarbril achievement….everything they touch they destroy…

We need Rabid-the-Hun to continually remind us just how dysfunctional the thinking in the Liarbril party is in selecting these anti-social mongrels.

He is still talking delusional nonsense about being leader again… and making stupefyingly silly remarks about the need for a Muslim “reformation” and that we good xtians are the culture to emulate…. Hmmm… right!

Cardinal “The Graceless” Pell-Pot is allegedly too ill to front the Royal Commission into child abuse….fearful perhaps, of his own crucifixion?

Mal “Chicken Thighs” Brough and fellow mongrel conspirators, Pyne

”the Whyne” and now Wyatt “The Boy” Roy are smelling like the shits they are over “Slippery” Pete’s political assassination….criminal charges, anyone?

Bronnie “Kero-Bath-Chopper” Bishop has decided that she is going at 73, to stick around in parliament to help fight terrorism … which terrorists, she didn’t say but it could be her own party…. Or it may be to match her colleague of same name, Jules “Asbestos” Bishop’s rather extravagant $30,0000.00 flight from a party with her B/F for a meeting in Canberra….Jules hasn’t heard of video-conferencing.

There ya go… how Oz is going to hell in a hand-basket care of the IPA.

Hoo-roo Petals

Shane.
