shared blame

 

Comrades,

You have to hand it to our Great and Glorious Leader for this oh-so reluctant offering: "I'm certainly sorry that we haven't been able to achieve the marks that we had hoped for at the beginning of this year. Of course I am." Apart from it being gobbledygook, it's also 'shared blame'. Really sorry that we have been unable to get the marks, of course we were hoping for better, so that means everyone's to blame, right? including you, yes you, and I'm sorry about that.

Well, I'm really sorry too old mate Scotty, but you don't get it, do you? It's your clusterfuck, and not only do you have to take care of it, and mop the fucker up because it is your fault, but you also have to own up to it. Jesus, Mary and Joseph. You can't go around blaming the public servants, when the poor bastards down at ATAGI are only doing their jobs as per the well established protocols and not making up policy on the run, which is the job of Govt. And at the moment, the Govt has but one job. The clearly demonstrated Miracle of Modern Medicine has come up with vaccines aplenty in a staggeringly short period of 12 months, so where's the difficulty here, ScoMo? In a world awash with vaccine for those who can afford it, how come you backed the wrong horse? Appalling mixed messaging killed the poor ol' Astra-Zeneca stone dead in the water despite it being a very good vaccine indeed, and just how much cold hard cash did QldUni burn through coming up with what an apparently brilliant vaccine with one fatal flaw - it tends to return positive AIDS tests? You could measure the money lost on that little one alone in the multi-millions - there were 51 million doses of that failure on order. But if it was just a petty argument with Pfizer over money, for fuck's sake, we are an affluent nation and can afford it. This "vaccine hesitancy" nonsense is an enormous barrow load of horseshit; Australia is one of the most vaccinated countries on the entire planet. God Help Me.

At least Captain Corona, Lt. Gen. J.J.Frewen, was speaking truth to power and had no trouble not beating around the bush chasing his own tail by saying in reply to the plaintive cry from the Ruby Princess for truckloads of more vaccine to be rushed to that hell hole - south west Sydney: "The Commonwealth does not have extra doses of the Pfizer vaccine to distribute". Yet, the next day, the Minister for The Sick managed to pull thousands of extras out of his arse, oh that's right, he was merely re-distributing them. Frewen is by all reports the dude getting the gear into chemist shops, where they should have started organising the cold logistics a long, long time ago, with big signs out the front screaming Get Your Free Covid19 Vaccine Here! No Waiting No Delay! 99% protection against death! Works in 14 days! Absolutely Free!

While State Premiers front the media microphones almost every day, ScoMo takes the "I refuse" position on leadership - glibly deflecting everything...you know, it's OK, nothing to see here, we'll vaccinate our way out of trouble, sure thing, don't you worry about that blah blah...And then there's the PM's grammatically incorrect bogan corker "we will be living life different at Christmas than we are now." How so, ScoMo? How different? How much worse? Vaccinate, schmackcinate; with 39.5% of the Strayan adult population now having had one dose, we remain on par with that utter shithole - and so sorry to pick on them again - Mississippi.

 

Operation Ethnic Cleanse

 

Comrades,

You gotta hand it to the Ruby Princess ordering her Police Commissioner to deploy a few hundred extra cops to Sydney's South West to combat the roaming hoards of flagrant law breakers who are dropping in on family and friends - which is a time honoured tradition in the area - willy nilly and scattering the Indian mutant of the Corona here, there, and everywhere as they go. I'm not the first to say this smacks very loudly of racial profiling. The worst case of 'unconscious racism' that the NSW Tories have come up with in quite a while. Unconscious, unthinking, casual, unintentional - Gladys? Hello? - you, of all people, should know it's still racism. What are you thinking when you say to them that "it's just not allowed" and then you chastise them for not listening? What if they can't even understand you in the first place, you bonehead? Little wonder this has raised a tremendous hue and cry beyond the Outer Edge of the Inner West just for the plain and simple fact that English is very much the second language - if at all - of most of the folk there, and English is by no means the preferred spoken language in the majority of households in the south west. This is not a crime. You do not need English to be a fine upstanding member of the community in the Miracle of Democracy. You are not required by law to look like pure white Aryan bread to be Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi.

Has anyone ever spared a thought for the poor suffering translators (if any are being employed)? The General Public has very little grasp of the ever shifting sands of conflicted mixed messaging coming their way in their native tongue - English - from all kinds of people who think they know everything. What hope for the professional linguists who are struggling to make any sense of it at all and then trying to communicate the arrant nonsense into another language (never mind the cultural differences)? The Ethnics of South Western Sydney would like to know what the fuck is going on just as much as the next person, for crying out loud. But no, go for the easy kneww jerk reaction and send in the cops. That'll fix everything. Stove a few multicultural heads in, but no racial profiling allowed, OK. So, what happens? After one day of Operation Ethnic Cleanse, hundreds of cops - including some on horseback - have fanned out across the south west looking for Covid offenders without making a single arrest. Not one. This was after there was never any talk of turning out extra squads of heavily armed officers to deal with the Limmo Driver "outbreak" (remember when they used to be called a "cluster") in the pure white-as-the-driven-snow native English speaking Eastern Suburbs was there? Nah. Of course not. It's different over there when you have to do yr cocaine with intimate partners only after being caught getting yr hair done down at the salon. It stinks, Ruby, but you couldn't care less because they are all filthy Labor voters in the south west and there's nothing in it for you, is there?

And just when you think you've heard it all, you get this classic opening line in a story in the Melbourne paper telling us that ScoMo has scrapped the beer ban with the stroke of a pen: "Prime Minister Scott Morrison will scrap a ban on businesses offering alcohol as a reward for getting the COVID-19 jab after a Port Melbourne pub was ordered to stop giving free beers to vaccinated customers." Really? Who can even pretend to know what kind of mixed messaging that is. Now, if it was yr local Bong Shop is offering a toke or two of the latest juicy shit to those vaxxed-up hipsters who'd had the jab it'd be an entirely different story, wouldn't it?

Never mind free beers for jabs or the fact that some of the best ideas coming up over a few beers, if the new Covid Commando Lt. Gen. J.J.Frewen has any idea, this is the sort of thing that should be happening right now on a 24/7/365 basis down at the currently non-existent South Western Sydney Vaccination Hub:

But that won't happen. Whenever a military man (and it's always a man) is dragged kicking and screaming into civilian affairs I'm reminded of the Harry Truman reply when he was asked how he thought Gen. Dwight D.Eisenhower would go succeeding him in the US Presidency:

"He’ll sit here, and he’ll say, ‘Do this! Do that!’ And nothing will happen. Poor Ike—it won’t be a bit like the Army. He’ll find it very frustrating.”

Good luck son. The race was lost well before you started. Oh, that's right, ScoMo did say of the vaccine strollout "it's not a race". That was back in March: “It’s not a race. It’s not a competition for the sake of people’s health – you get it right. And that’s exactly what we’re doing and, where we are, our October deadline is the one we’re absolutely working to – there’s no change to that.”
