The West Crumbles

Another screed from the WokeLib Guardian. Simon Tisdall scrawls...

it is crystal clear Putin fears the sort of political liberalisation that might facilitate greater economic competitiveness and international investment.

Uh huh... in other words, “political liberalization,” “more democracy,” “human rights” and “FREEDUM” are Trojan Horses for “international investment” which is code for “us buying up you.” Tisdall is too stoopid to realize he just gave away the game.

He goes on to scribble

The continuing drag on Russia’s development caused by western sanctions, imposed after the illegal annexation of Crimea, symbolises the broader, negative aspects of perpetual Putinism.

Actually... the sanctions reflect the broader aspects of American hegemony. It is absurd to blame Putin for an economic drag cause by sanctions.

Simon-the-Moron goes on,

Putin’s poison meanwhile seeps through other western institutions, bamboozling Donald Trump, weakening the Nato alliance and the G7 (from which he has been banished), and undermining European democracy with his glib talk about “obsolete” western liberalism.

So... Trump was not a mole but just simply “bamboozled” ? Okay. But Putin undermined European democracy by talking? PUTIN SPEAKS THE WEST CRUMBLES!!!! How Biblical! Why, it's a miracle beyond the realm of known physics given that Putin's talk is virtually never reported in the Western press and certainly not on the channels of mass media delusion.

Alt Fem Guardian Craps on Bernie Again

Typical bunk from a gentrified liberal perspective pretending to be progressive.

Number One. The headline is misleading in that it suggests that Warren is the "best chance" since FDR. But that is not what she said. When asked about a die-hard Sanders supporter, Warren replied "“C’mon guys, this is the best chance we have to elect a real progressive since FDR.” As the article itself states "That might be the strongest statement she has made about Sanders."

Number Two. "Senator Bernie Sanders could argue that he is addressing those same themes." Could? COULD? C'mon, there is no doubt whatsoever about it. None. Zip. It's not debatable. For all of his life and for 40 years in Congress he has consistently been the often LONE voice for progressive causes.

Since the Guardian likes to focus (obsess) on identity issues: Sanders was arrested back in 1963 [sic] protesting for Black civil rights. He has consistently supported a woman's right to choose even before Roe v Wade. He was in favour of gay rights way before the term LGBTQ or LGBT or LGB became current.

He has opposed every war the U.S. has engaged in since Vietnam.

For those who don't have cushy medical and retirement programs, Sanders has pushed Medicare for All since before 2016. He has pushed a decent minimum wage since 2014. He has consistently advocated secure, affordable housing, free higher education, student debt relief, renters rights, disengagement from fossil fuel and an aggressive new green deal.

Could? Gimme a break. He is the one tried and true and proven progressive in the race without doubt. I know bias when I read it.

Hey Sinner Man....

There was a popular folk song in the early Sixities, the refrain of which was "Hey sinner man, where ya gonna run to, all on that day...?"

“We’re only here because nobody’s acted quick enough,” said Corrin Mueller.   Exactly.  That creature known as  Man, which prides itself on its superior-to-animal faculties and its supposed ability to make "objective" and "disinterested" decisions based on reason  has preferred instead to burn its candles at both ends.    Was there anything more ludicrous than Australians gathering to gawk and goo at fireworks blasting against a particulate saturated sky while their country burned?    Ridet et moritur.

Let it be an object lesson to climate deniers here and everywhere.  

My sorrow and pity goes to all the beautiful animals, birds, insect and fauna that have paid with their lives for Man's self-indulgent rapacity.

Slime-Speak

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/03/us/politics/democratic-candidates-qassem-soleimani.html

"Reshape the race" is New York Times-speak for "oh goody, this will boost plus ça change corporate centrists!"

Priorities

A man abandoned his dog at a church altar with a note that read: “"Life has taken a really bad turn for me and I couldn't imagine him being outside with me cold and hungry."   Officials “urged any pet owners struggling financially to contact their vet, a local rescue centre or a charity like the RSPCA.”

So... they'll rescue the pet but not the human?   

 And to the Slime...


"Countless animals..."   =  500 million animals burned or choked to death (Independent UK.)   Not only that but the entire insect bio-sphere on which wildlife depends has been wiped out.  

This ecocidal holocaust is brought upon us by fossil fuel whores like Morrison, in Australia, McConnell in the United States and Bolsonaro in Brazil.   If a crime against humanity is an outrage what do you call a crime against all living life?

And to the niebelungen who censor this blog -- "whores" is exactly what they are -- that's what it's called when a "position" is paid for.   To insist on effete gentilesse when the greatest of all crimes is being committed is itself an obscenity.  No doubt  you would insist that King Lear have begun, "Oh dear!  Oh dear!  Oh dear!"


Howl!

Australian Apocalypse

While newscasters blabber about homes destroyed in the Austrialian fires, I have been wondering about the animals. Of course, not a word about them in our anthropocentric news, until today:

Up to 500 million mammals, birds and reptiles – including 8,000 koalas – have been killed, say ecologists from Sydney University, prompting fears entire species of animals and plant life may be lost for ever. More than 300 baby flying foxes have been abandoned by their mothers trying to survive, experts said. Jenny Packwood, a wildlife rescuer, told The Herald: “Mothers are abandoning babies at two weeks after birth because there is no food for them. Last week we had 300 come in, and we’ve been flat out feeding since then. “I’ve never seen anything like this before – we’re calling it a starvation event.” “There’s no grass for the ’roos, no insects for the birds, the leaves on eucalypts are brittle, ensuring starvation for koalas, gliders, possums, birds, insects.”

THIS is a true holocaust -- a real fire of apocalyptic proportions. “Five hundred million” -- the number is almost unfathomable. It is an ecocidal wipe-out of a continents innocent wildlife... beautiful creatures all of them who never deserved this fate.

I could give a shit for the humans rushing for safety to the ocean... the ocean whose dead sea corral they killed with their avarice and indifference. May the sea break out in flames. I have no pity for them. None. Zip.

The Greens have called for a Parliamentary commission to look into the Government's handling of the climate crisis. What candy assed bullshit. Morrison and his gang of industry pimps and thugs should be lined up against a wall and shot. Better yet, they should be forced to walk into the flames at gunpoint. All of them....

But the average “decent, hard working, hard playing Australian” is no better. While a holocaust consumes his homeland and wipes out its wild-life, what are they doing? Watching fireworks in Sydney. The drooling, stupid, indifference is as criminal as the Government's ecocidal avarice.

The human race is a complete, utter, disastrous failure. A mistake as colossal as Creation itself. We deserve to be wiped out. The tragedy is that before we are, everything else will be wiped out first.
