The reptiles are in a major panic and conspiracy theories rend the air, and the woes and lamentations ascend to the heavens, as dear former fearless leader feels the heat …
Oh yes, the likes of the Graudian are on the prowl and you won't hear that dreadful Seggall woman say a word against Labor …
What's a reptile to do in these dire circumstances?
Well they could recite a brave imperial poem to lift everyone's spirits …
Well they could recite a brave imperial poem to lift everyone's spirits …
Red with the wreck of a square comrade Bill broke; —
The Gatling's jammed and the onion muncher in trouble,
And the Murdochian regiment blind with dust and smoke.
The river of death has brimmed his banks,
And chairman Rupert's far, and Honour a name,
But the voice of a Dame Slap rallies the ranks:
'Play up! play up! and play the conspiracy game! ' (Original here)
Send for the Slap rang out in the corridors of the 'leet reptile eerie in the heart of Sydney …the indies, the indies are coming ...
What a relief.
It's a conspiracy theory for a Wednesday, a Dame Slap classic, concocted by the woman who donned a MAGA hat and slid out into the streets of New York at night to celebrate the arrival of one of the greatest statesmen and presidents the world has ever seen (or so he says himself).
A crazy conspiracy theory?
Well, it's surely demented, but with the greatest respect, it surely is one of Dame Slap's lesser efforts. Call that a crazy conspiracy theory? This is a crazy conspiracy theory …
And it involved "colourful language" …
Never mind, to be fair, it's no more colourful than blaming all the Morrison government's current woes on Malware.
Now can Dame Slap rouse herself to a full-throated paroxysm of fear, loathing and hysteria, with Malware the boogeyman to be found under every vulnerable electorate bed? Sure can ...
Uh huh, and that leads the pond to its own conspiracy theory.
It was the reptiles wot done it … the climate science denialists, led by Dame Slap and the Bolter and the dog botherer and Dame Groan and little Timmy and the parrot and the Speccie mob and the Urban who takes his science from the movies, and sundry other ratbags and wretches howling at the denialist moon …
It was this mob that encouraged and cheered on the onion muncher's "okay then don't" line. They cheered him, they sat at his feet, adoring him and grieving in his demotion to the back bench, it was they who urged his return, preferably on an ass walking over palm fronds … and so they produced one of the most divided, ineffective and useless governments in recent memory … and as recent memory stretches back to former chairman Rudd, that says something …
Oh they've been at it for years, all in the name of a climate science denialism as absurd and as silly as thinking a wall will fix everything.
Why Dame Slap ended her climate Copenhagen conspiracy rant way back when with this reminder of the work of the parrot …
The parrot? Where is he now? Gone truly weird, a little Irish leprechaun-ish ...
You don't need Malware to be reminded of the parrot or Dame Slap or any of their nonsense over the years ...
The pond's not entirely sure that green is the colour of peppermint … more the colour of mint … but never mind, it's time for another bout of Dame Slap's conspiracy theory explaining how it's all the fault of Malware and nothing at all to do with the reptiles and her and the climate denialist mob, even as fish die, the north floods, and the south is on fire …
Shabby behaviour?
Oh I say old chum, wot wot, terribly shabby, haven't we all been solid together, thick as thieves, even as last September the news came Climate poll shows Morrison politically vulnerable as more voters back action … and what do you know, last October, Australians increasingly concerned about climate change …
And lo, this very day Nick Greiner stumbled on to stage left to announce there would be a new climate policy. Nobody quite knew what it was, he didn't seem quite sure himself, but no doubt Dame Slap will use it as evidence that old Nick has been nobbled by Malware …
Here, have a Pope cartoon …
More Pope served here, but the pond now has to serve up the final gobbet of paranoid Dame Slap …
Just read that last line again …
It could stand a little re-writing …
Blather about fake indies and fake news aside - there's only so much MAGA Trumpism the pond can take - "not all of this necessarily adds up to the reptiles and Dame Slap's final act of climate science policy stupidity designed to destroy the Liberal party and the Morrison government. But it is not unreasonable for the pond to think some of it does. And the reptiles and the paranoid Dame Slap and all the other climate science denialists have only themselves to blame for that …"
Sure Malware stuffed up in the NBN, but in stuffing Malware, the onion muncher, the mutton Dutton, and the reptiles stuffed themselves.
Will they ever change? Will they ever acknowledge that consorting with the likes of Lord Monckton and the onion muncher and Plimer and the lesser Kelly and the whole denialist gang was an unwise move? Will they ever admit that the onion muncher was a cul-de-sac, a blind alley, a dead-end, a one-way street to nowheresville?
Why pigs might fly before that happens, though happily a Rowe cartoon asserts that pigs can fly, and who is the pond to doubt him?
More remarkable Rowe sightings here ...
And so to a bit of blogger business. Every so often, something unannounced, unexpected, unilateral, unalterable and not open to appeal, turns up inside blogger …
This is the latest offering. Make of it what you will … the pond's only defence is that blogger is free, and it refuses to spend a cent on the reptiles …though surely some will be charmed by the use of "deprecation" ...
Hi Dorothy,
ReplyDeleteAlbrechtsen’s fevered conspiracy fever is indicative of just how deeply imbedded Climate Change denialism has become amongst the reptiles and the Coalition.
They are completely unable to comprehend why Climate Change has become such a hot topic (pun intended) with the electorate and are casting about looking for some vengeful Machiavellian figure that is plotting their demise instead.
Morrison was up in Townsville yesterday (fetchingly clad in camouflage) but steadfastly refused to discuss the 800 pound gorilla in the room.
“I’m not engaging in broader policy debates today. I’m engaging in the needs of people here on the ground, people in evacuation centres.”
No mention of Climate Change allowed, it’s all just politics anyway. This to people who are literally up to their necks in water due to unprecedented rainfall.
One wonders if the reptiles or any of the Liberals or Nationals for that matter ever venture outside nowadays? As just about everybody else has noticed that the weather appears to be on steroids.

Dame Slap is a classical example of 'belief perseverance of the third type', DW. As indeed are all the reptiles and RWNJs.
DeleteThe psychos describe it thusly: "The third type involves naive theories, beliefs about how the world works."
Now that's clearly recognisable in reptiles, isn't it. The psychos say that it involves "'illusory correlation', in which one sees or remembers more confirming cases and fewer disconfirming cases than really exists." and this goes alomg with "'data distortions', in which confirming cases are inadvertently created and disconfirming cases are ignored."
Ok, so basically it's a type of 'confirmation bias' combined with illusory memory. And, can anything be done about it ? Well, apparently not much:
"Research also has investigated ways to reduce belief perseverance. The most obvious solution, asking people to be unbiased, doesn’t work. However, several techniques do reduce the problem. The most successful is to get the person to imagine or explain how the opposite belief might be true. This de-biasing technique is known as counterexplanation."

Now I can really imagine getting the Slap, or any of her cohort, to engage in a teensy bit of "counterexplanation", can't you ?
We need laws on journalists like Canada have so if you make a statement you have prove what you are saying is factual. But I doubt either party would have the courage to pass these laws as Murdoch others and would go after them with everything they could muster.
ReplyDeleteHow did Canada get that law, then ? Doesn't Murdoch have any influence at all above the 49th parallel ?
DeleteMurdoch has not been an influence in Canada from my knowledge as apparently Canada have this honesty test that was legislated before Murdoch was established in America.
DeleteOthers may be able to give a more comprehensive reasons for this.
I doubt Murdoch could muster much these days. He might use the awesome power of his online presence and mount a heavy myspace campaign.
DeleteAh, so the Canadians were smart enough to know that they would likely get a Murdoch, and moved to disbar him before he could establish himself.
ReplyDeleteBut wasn't Conrad Black Canada's homegrown Murdoch for some time ? At least until he took an English Lordship (even Murdoch hasn't done that) and therefore was forcibly deprived of his Canadian citizenship.
