Watch out folks!! The Russians are coming

There are so many interesting news items right now eg. juvenile detention of indigenous kids, Gassing babies, the American elections, the Sydney Piano Competition (I soooo wanna write something on that! Oh! dominated by the Russians and Chinese, I should add!). But the one I thought to be highest priority was the whole corrupt effort of the Western nations to ban the Russians from the Olympics. The media will drum all those other issues to death as will they with this story. However, they will all take an anti-Russian stance. It’s quite normal for Western media to go hysterical and lose any sense of logic when it comes to dealing with issues relating to Russia (or China for that matter).

It’s hard to fathom why this is the case, is it the Cold war (that ended 30 years ago), is it their intense dislike for Putin (Domestically, one of the most popular leaders of that country), is it the terror of communism (long gone) one can only guess. It is more likely due to  a fear and realisation that the new world order – BRICS – is becoming a reality with every day that goes by.

The band wagon to ban the Russians was lead by the usual culprits – the English (Seb Coe), the Americans and a few others. And when it comes to the commie bastards, no legal framework is required, just dumb propaganda.

The case for banning Russians is extremely weak. It is based on a disgruntled whistle-blower and some still to be proven report by a serf of the group. Really wouldn’t  stand up in any court and is simply hear say. The last time the coalition of the willing used a disgruntled whistle blower was when they wanted to massacre a few million people in Iraq. One thing you can be completely confident about is that when dealing with the Anglo-Celtic coalition (The GusWhiSUCs or Sucs in short) everything they say will be a complete fabrication and they will use their sophisticated (and sometimes not so sophisticated) propaganda machines to suggest that their opponents are lying or cannot be trusted. And of course, the gullible plebs are true believers.

The easiest way to win medals at the Olympics (and winning has become commercially critical to these nations) is to eliminate the strongest rivals – remember the Aussie Ice skater Steven Bradbury. Historically the Russians have been one of the stronger teams at the Olympics. By banning them there are more medals for your own athletes and its a great boost to the national ego. I just heard that by banning the Russian women’s rowing eights, the Aussie team has been given a place – you see, it’s all self-interest.

The Sucs’ media has never been able to conduct a structured analysis of any of it’s “opponents” (let alone the Russians or Chinese) – it just turns into a hysterical barrage of propaganda.

When it comes to doping in sport, there is no bigger offender than the US. That is if you consider the number of competitors that get caught. But that is simply the tip of the iceberg. The US also has the most sophisticated drug program and are therefore least likely to get caught. Besides that the commercial benefit of winning medals is so great that there is no incentive for the authorities to clamp down on it. It is far more beneficial  to go harassing the less sophisticated drug programs in Russia and China.

Of course the biggest losers are the third world countries. Not only are they unable to afford the legal performance enhancing techniques, they definitely do not have the wherewithal to run a clandestine doping program.

With the professionalisation and commercialisation (Coco Cola games) of the Olympics, there was never going to be any chance of setting an even remotely level playing field. The games has simply become a source for big corporates to create the resources for increasing their profits.Nevertheless, it is one of the greatest spectacles and a majority of us, (yours truly, included), adore the event.

The West has a track record (sorry!) for using the Olympics as a weapon against Russia. It’s either a boycott or ban of one sort or another. Remember when the Coalition of the willing boycotted the Moscow Olympics due to , guess what, an invasion of Afghanistan?!! Ummm… now doesn’t that sound familiar. But I don’t recall the Russians doing anything of the sort for the coalitions invasion of the very same country nor the war crime that is the Iraq war.

See, the Russians are just a bit more mature and not into the sabre rattling that is required by the Western leaders to keep their own electorates happy.

The Sucs use the phrase “State sponsored” doping to differentiate themselves from the former communist nations. This is done not purely when it comes to doping, but also anything else, due to the nature of centralised planning. So, when some rebel group fire a missile at a commercial flight flying within a war zone by accident, it is Russia committing a crime! On the other hand when the Sucs commit atrocities such as bombing innocent villages in Syria or blasting a whole nation on a fabricated lie, it is merely collateral damage. And I won’t even touch on the atrocities of Israel!

No Suc has ever been charged or executed for war crimes, even though the Iraq war was an illegal invasion of another country.

Country Medals returned
United States 11
Russia 4
China 1

Olympic Medals returned due to doping

So why do we keep wanting to ban Russia and China?! The thing is that the evidence would suggest to any logical individual that we should be banning a whole different set of nations.

The Americans hide behind an excuse that the doping is conducted by individuals and the State has no involvement. But it is this very excuse that encourages it. We all know that if the US wanted to reduce it, they could very well do it. And taking it a step further, if the IOC banned the Americans for one Olympics for doping (rather than illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and other atrocities) then the games would be so much more cleaner.

The Sucs continued obsession to bully Russia and China is clearly related to the emergence of the New world order. As their (the Sucs) relevance decreases their attempts to bully their new masters increases. The change in power structure was evident in the IOC’s decision to stand by Russia and snub the SUCS. This is something that would never have happened 10 years ago or even 5!

The Sucs do not see the individual athletes of these nations as humans who have dedicated a life time to achieve their dreams and hopes of competing at the Olympics. They see them as an enemy to be squashed, somehow.

This was evident when the Turks (supposedly, more likely to have been the Yanks) shot down a Russian aircraft in Syria. The whole Western world gathered behind the Turks in support. This was clearly an act of aggression, where there was no danger what-so-ever. Whilst there would have been a father, mother, wife and children who mourned their loss, the West simply saw it as collateral damage! Just as they have no remorse for the millions of Iraqi’s they have murdered nor the chaos created in Iraq and Syria (or the entire middle East and Muslim world).

Lieutenant colonel Peshkov was murdered while he was parachuting or shortly after – an act violating the Geneva convention. An Act performed by Turkmen rebel fighters lead by a Turk. So, I guess it was a war crime of Turkey (using the logic of the Sucs in relation to Ukraine and flight MH17) or stretching the logic a bit further, NATO and the Yanks. Is anyone screaming for justice?!

So, America might once again win a great many medals at the games, but one should be suspicious of every single medal they win, rather than bashing the communists!

Turnbull to TurnBullShit–the complete transformation

Note: I started this entry a couple of weeks prior to the elections. Unfortunately, I was unable to complete it until several weeks after!

Close to 10 years ago, a couple of years after Malcolm entered politics, I sheepishly admit that, I thought he would be a visionary leader for this country. He was truly progressive and liberal (not conservative). But he faced a dilemma. Here was a rich white man, who naturally would be assumed to have conservative views but instead had progressive views.So just as he could have very well fitted in either camp (i.e.. Labor or Liberal) he equally didn’t fit in neither! Malcolm chose the Fiberal party although his beliefs were more in line with the Labor party.

Malcolm’s Hockey like ambition to be Prime Minister to stroke his own ego was always a concern (one should always be suspicious about these ambitious jokers who want to be PM for the sake of being PM) and there was also the issue that he was not electable by the Australian public, who typically hate tall poppies and distrust rich arrogant men with egos that couldn’t fit in the parliament house in Canberra!

Malcolm stood fast with his beliefs for many years. At first, because he felt that was his best chance for leadership of the party. He maintained he views after he killed Brendan Nelson – collateral damage one might say – on the march to his objective. It was when he was dumped by the party that political reality began to hit. This was a spoiled brat who got his way in most scenarios and had just had his pant dropped and whooped by his party.

He dragged his sore bottom to the backbenches and embarked in Rudd like passive resistance. This was good political training for the brat! During this period, it was in his interest, as passive resistor, to maintain some of his progressive views on climate change and SSM to remain popular with the public and make a fool of the mad hatter Abbott. But when he struck the final blow to the Mad Phoney Abbott, that was when he knew he had to do whatever it took to be the PM – his ambition! His stars were aligned as the unelectable Turnbull had achieved his goal without having to be elected.

. . . the transformation had begun.

His performance at a recent Q&A displayed his elitism and the extent to which he had embraced the Fiberal culture. Malcolm had morphed– from Turnbull to TurnBullShit.

He was now the specialist in the Fiberal party’s skill of simply fabricating and lying about everything. Ever since Howard, the truth has always been irrelevant to the Fiberals and the Aussie public seem to accept that but castigate the Labor party. The media seem nervous to tackle Malcolm because of his ill-founded reputation of a brilliant business man!

Let’s breakdown Malcolm’s performance at Q&A and it’s quite breathtaking how he was able to Spin so much in so little time.

Border Control

Border control has always been seen as a strong point for the Fiberals. To give them credit they have always had the courage to be more inhumane to refugee seekers and in this particular instance, take what is really an insignificant issue, build it into something that the more racist Aussie plebs find important and emotive and make it an election winner.

On-water operations - Are you sure there were no boats?!!

There is little doubt that the Rudd’s initial position increased the number of boats. The Labor party, despite it’s inner principle’s had to give into the strong Aussie public racist sentiment and change their position. Apart from the turning back boats aspect, it was the Labor party that introduced the current regime and what is even more important and often forgotten – the boats had pretty much stopped before the Fiberals came into power. I guess, it was pointless the Labor party attempting to “labour” (sorry) this point, when they opened the flood gates to begin with.

The big fib it appears to be, is the grand statement that there have not been any boats for six hundred odd days. It now appears that there have been over 20, which have been turned around – those are the boats that the government has been willing to tell us about.

The “we don’t discuss on-water operational matters” shield was no different to a Nazi, Communist or dictatorship regime type action to remove any accountability.

Whenever a government decides to hide something from it’s people, it is due to it being involved in an activity that the majority of Australians would not want to put their name to.

The thing is, the Fiberals discovered that the average dumb Aussie voter, is gullible, racist and really does not care what we do to stop the boats. Cos the illiterate boat people are after their jobs!

Climate Change

Climate change is where Malcolm’s desire to be PM over principle’s shows best. In true Liberal (not Fiberal) spirit, he supported market based emission scheme. He lost the leadership over this when he wanted to support Labor. But now he seems to suggest that he supports the Direct (no) Action approach of the mad Abbott! One that has increased Australia’s emission and made us the worlds pariah’s on this matter.

Climate change flip flop!

Malcolm’s suggestion that Obama thanked him for his position is mastery in spin. Malcolm had only just assassinated the Abbott and really had no time what so ever to have any policy discussion before Paris. He didn’t want to be totally snubbed by the other leaders who saw Australia’s position under Abbott as backward and stupid. So he cobbled together a target (nothing else) and took it to Paris.

Of course Obama was going to thank him for some improvement and in any case, Obama would have thanked everyone there for the level of cooperation. This was absolute spin mastery. And the dumb Aussie public felt all warm and fuzzy about the compliments of the US president and swallowed the spin in glee!

The so called “Economic Plan”

The Great Economic Plan–a mere tax cut!

The strategy of the Malcolm’s advisers has clearly been to make him appear the successful corporate business man leading a party that is professional and business like! And so the election ads which looked like IBM or BHP corporate ads. The 5 point slide presentations etc.

But this grand “Economic Plan” just materialised over night! The dumb Aussie public, once again bought into it hook line and sinker. One didn’t have to scratch the surface much to realise that there was no plan what-so-ever. The reference to the budget papers over and over again was evidence of this. A budget is a budget but a plan required a whole lot more strategic thinking planning. A budget is not an Economic Plan, STUUUPEEED!!!

The “Economic plan” was no more that a tax cut for large corporates. Malcolm sold it well.

Medical costs

Malcolm’s statements on this were complete lies or if you wanted to be generous, simply wrong! With inflation and population growth, the is no doubt that bulk billing will be higher and continue to grow. Not something that Malcolm can claim credit for. His policy is quite different – the plan is to stop increasing the scheduled rates. Naturally, this will have an impact on doctors and there ability to continue bulk billing.

So, no cuts to Medical services?!!

Malcolm has obviously never been bulk billed. There is complete confusion about the GP co-payment. A search on the internet will give you different views on whether a bulk billing doctor should charge the co-payment and if so is it in fact being bulk-billed. Do the doctors who bulk bill have to absorb $5.00 or do they charge the additional $7.50 and end up not bulk billing?!

Getting more competition in the medical industry is a good thing. Increasing the supply is as well – something that the AMA have tirelessly prevented to maintain a closed shop. However, suggesting to the public that reducing the government contribution to doctors will not end up with increased cost to the patient is fantasy.

Medicare, Mediscare!

The Fiberals clearly got caught out on this one. What has resulted is that they now cannot privatise even sensible sections of it! Well, not that their election rhetoric has ever constrained them. If Labor didn’t call this out, we would have had quite a different Malcolm after the election.

Medicare Mediscare!

Outsourcing Medicare as a whole would be quite difficult. The government would have to pay a high premium to get any organisation to take the risk and the funding model would be complex. But by privatising it, the government would be able to reward the service provider for reducing payments – and we all know what will happen there.

The thought of Aussies attempting to put together a modern IT system, is hilarious– let alone a bunch of public servants! It will cost 10 times more than it should and take 3 times as long for half the services (Don’t I know it, just take the Customer Management System ($80m) and website ($23m) solution at Sydney Water!! – that’s another story altogether).

The Fiberal DNA is survival of the fittest and efficiency. There is no place for the sick in such a world – they are inefficient and a burden on society! Why should the rich pay to keep ‘em alive?!! They reluctantly play ball, as otherwise they would lose votes.

The 2 tier NBN

Malcolm attempts portray this image that he is big on innovation and technology. People tend to get confused between a man who made money on a speculatory investment, with someone who is a progressive advocate for technology. They are confused because the Fiberals push this message.

2 tier NBN–one for Rich,Fat, White Men and another for plebs

The form on the NBN is a clear indication of the Fiberal values. We now are spending pretty much the same amount on the NBN as Labor proposed (admittedly, there might have been some increases there too, but less likely, as it was all new and not dependent on assumptions made about the existing network.), and sinking large amounts of funds (close to half the overall costs) on 19th (yes, 19th Century, not 20th or 21st) century technology – copper.

If you are rich, you can pay extra and get the fibre to you resident – tier 1 (Rich, Fat, White man’s version). If not, you get the copper version – tier 2 (Pleb’s version). Malcolm himself says that 85% chose the copper version and received 20Mb connections. The reality is that the old technology ADSL pretty much reached those speeds anyway. And so we have the great waste – an investment of $70b, half of which is on 19th century technology, simply to provide a service that is no better than what most of us have already.

So much for the great technology revolution.

No doubt the Fiberal spin will be that 85% purchasing the pleb version is clear evidence that that is all that is required – supply meeting demand. The reality is that most of them could not afford anything else.

His grand comparison with Labor’s delivery record is simply grandstanding. Anyone with any intellect would know that it is complex to plan these large infrastructure projects. Even in delivery, there is a large learning curve. The hard bits were done by the Labor party. Now they simply have to deliver it using tried and tested approaches. They bloody well should be delivering much larger numbers – you are in the delivery phase – STUUUPEEEEED!!!

The NBN investment is much like building a 2 lane harbour bridge, because there wasn’t many vehicles on the road at the time! Thank heavens that decision was made by more progressive thinking individuals that the current mob.

4k movies are already upon us – but that’s only for the Rich Fat White men. The rest can do without! Malcolm is full of contradictions on this one!

Same Sex Discord!

This is one of the biggest cock-ups of the election. However, it is one that the Aussie public is not particularly interested in. The selfish nature of the average dumb Aussie, ensures that the only reason they would have any interest in the LGBT group is to discriminate against them such that they have a competitive advantage – like racism, really.

The wasteful plebiscite!

The Phoney Abbott tactic to postpone any decision by the Fiberals, who are completely in disarray on this issue, has even got Malcolm flustered. He is suddenly a “leader but not a dictator”!

For some reason, he thinks that Australian are capable of a civilised discussion on this! When has Australia had a discussion on anything, let alone a civilised one. The level of “civilised” discussion taking place within the liberal party itself – bestiality etc. – is fuel for his confidence! Yours truly thinks that Shorten has a much better perspective of the path that this discussion will take.

It seems that he has already reneged on his promise to have the plebiscite by the end of the year – Surprise, Surprise!!

The greatest revolution in taxation in Australia’s history!

All that, and it fizzled out to be simply “a moment of clarity”! This is wonderful spin. The states pointed out the stupidity of the plan. The moment of clarity was that your revolution was really a hurried thought bubble, much like your predecessor – the mad Abbott’s

The greatest tax revolution?!!

Clearly a lower tax environment help making our companies more competitive globally. The problem is that our companies that operate overseas simply dig dirt and they have an incredibly good environment to make money. The other companies that operate here simply take all the profits overseas. That is the reason for the Treasury giving such low rates of return on the massive tax payer investment in his “mates” companies.

If one believes in the trickle down theory, that is mostly canvassed by the Fiberals, then due to the goodwill of the rich, the poor will get some of the spoils. But the reality is that reducing company tax benefits high income earners at the expense of low.

Keating may very well have been the “biggest reducer of company tax” but what you failed to mention (and strongly stated by Keating a few days later) was that Keating implemented a series of changes with it, to compensate the low income earners – a group of people who are not getting anything from your supposedly fair policies.

You have to say that Malcolm did tremendously well to squeeze in soo much TurnBullShit in such a short time – and I’ve only picked some of it!

Ultimately, Australia voted the TurnBullShit back into power and so we will have to delve in it knee deep, for the next 3 years.
