Howdy dear availees in Canada, Spain, Pakistan, and Switzerland, welcome to a shortish post as I try to get back on that long-bolted horse that is me wanting to even do this 'ere blog...(whaaaa?-Ed)...I'm trying to get back to doing a more regular posting, 'back on the horse', but that desire left a long time ago or is even demised...(so when you say "long-bolted", do you mean 'bolted' as in run away, or 'bolted' as in 'been put out of it's misery' on the receiving end of a bolt gun, ie, as in an abattoir?-Ed)...well that's a hilariously appropriate summation of the situation, and that's exactly what I'm saying, I'm not sure which it is myself...I don't feel any particular desire to continue, it seems to be more of a combination of stubborn bloody-minded refusal to back-down, propped-up by the fact that I literally have no choice...('cos this 'ere blog is literally the only place that the realities of what's being done to you, the Pro-Paedophile Political Persecution stuff, here-in is literally the only place that you get to canvas and expose those rankly corrupt realities-Ed)...exactly...(realities that include the complicit conduct of the Main Stream
Media, particularly The Advertiser, The Border Watch, and the ABC South East-Ed)...indeed...(and protect yourself from the gross Pro-Paedophile Corruption of your "bizarre trial" and the even more bizarre current Corrections SA proceedings-Ed)...all true, it remains a wonderful irony that that which has got me in so much trouble is the one thing that offers me any sense of protection or hope...
And it's not just been the ABC South East who've been the problem, it's the entire ABC actually...(sure, but it is the ABC South East who were/are critically complicit in the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up-Ed)...true, but that complicit corruption extends also to Adelaide, eg, Sandra Winter Dewhirst and a host of producers, etc, the Four Corners program, etc, who all refused to look at the St Martins Cover-up...(agreed, but it's here in this community where they could have had some positive influence that they've really failed/refused to act-Ed)...yeah, but even I don't know to what degree the office here failed/refused of their own choice or whether that was orchestrated from Adelaide and even Sydney...(fair point-Ed)...suffice to say, the ABC en masse have failed/refused to address the St Martins Cover-up appropriately, and have on multiple occasions been definably complicit...(yeah, fair call mate, but it was the ABC South East Radio who initially provided SAPol (police) with the lie-laden Affidavit used against you in Court-Ed)...sure, good point, but remember that it was their Sydney-based lawyers who responded to Magistrate Anderson's Court-issued Summons for information relating to that Affidavit...(sure-Ed)...it was ABC Sydney lawyers who appeared by phone at those Summons hearings and who said it was all too difficult, the Summons was "oppressive" and "fishing for information", etc, and then lied about not finding any documents at all...
The ABC Loves Me, They Have Fletcher Files:...(yeah, and they also lied about having supposedly sent you a letter in January 2014 allegedly ordering you to stay away from the ABC-Ed)...well right there's another delightful irony isn't it...the ABC has claimed that they sent me this 'banning letter' but then fail/refuse to produce it in Court, even after being Summonsed, but then the ABC's testimony in Court, albeit in my absence when the rankly corrupt Magistrate Ian White continued and concluded my 'Trial' in my absence...(so many layers of corruption-Ed)...indeed, but we digress, 'cos the ABC South East's testimony in Court was that they kept a 'Special File' on me and that when I had attended their office in January 2014 with a document, that it went straight into that file...(what the shizzle? but they said it's all too difficult and didn't even produce the alleged 'banning letter', but surely it's all right there in their special Fletcher File?-Ed)...apparently not...(and hang on, what the shreck is the ABC doing keeping 'Special Files' on private citizens? does anybody else get a 'Special File'?-Ed)...only if you're special...(oh I get it, they love you 'cos they are 'Fletchophiles', nice one dude, particularly considering the bizarrely corrupt lengths they are prepared to go to to try and get you-Ed)...and that brings us to this...
That right there's the critical point...(more critical than the lies the ABC told in attacking you personally, knowing full-well that your original motivation is the abuse of your child and dozens of other 7-year olds by "text-book grooming paedophile" teacher Glyn Dorling at St Martins Lutheran School, and the ongoing cover-up of those abuses?-Ed)...ok fair enough, that's absolutely critical, and it's 100% relevant to my personal situation, and you're right that it is absolutely deplorable that the ABC would/has knowingly acted to help protect a grooming paedophile and the rancidly corrupt Lutherans, etc, etc, all of that is really important, but remove me personally from the equation and the ABC's Pro-paedophile Complicit motivations, etc, and what do you have left?...(ummm, not much I reckon, that seems to be the ABC's role in this whole sordid St Martins disaster-Ed)...yeah yeah, sure, but set-aside the specific St Martins issues, and what is the stand-out issue here...(errr, dunno', enlighten me?-Ed)...the Affidavit itself, the Affidavit is itself the critical issue...(I don't follow-Ed)...well the ABC South East Radio and their lawyers, etc, apart from lying about 'no documents', etc, etc, what have they done?...(ummm, supplied the Court with a fraudulently false but damning Affidavit for SAPol to use against you?-Ed)...exactly, and?...(ummm-Ed)...consider this...
Right there's the issue of the ABC bleating about how inappropriate it was for the AFP (Australian Federal Police) to raid the ABC offices and threaten prosecution of 2 journos re an ABC story about Australian troops committing crimes in Afghanistan...(but those raids are incredibly concerning, it's bare-faced Fascism to go after the media like that-Ed)...sure, and concerning that it involves the AFP's apparent 'right' to redact and/or delete and/or alter documents and/or emails, etc...(yeah, that shizzle is just bizarre-Ed)...like I said, and particularly in light of the AFP's multi-layered protection racket it's running on behalf of the LNP, where-in the AFP refuses to investigate leaks from Ministerial offices, eg, Michaela Cash leaking to the media about those AFP raids of Union offices, such that the media were there waiting for the AFP to arrive...(yeah, 'cos that ain't at all corrupt conduct by Cash & Co-Ed)...or the multiple failures/refusals to investigate Angus Taylor for the $80m Water Theft saga, or the fraudulent Clover Moore Travel Expenses Document, or the Grassgate scandal...(what about these perpetual Sports Rort thingies?-Ed)...yep, or Barnaby Joyce getting his mistress a fake job in a colleague's (Matt Canavan's?) office?...literally everywhere you look, it's wall-to-wall LNP corruption being effectively protected by a complicit AFP, but back to my original point...what was the main alleged concern from the ABC, and what do we constantly hear from other media about the importance of protecting their sources?...(errr, just that, protecting their sources is paramount-Ed)...precisely...(but I, ooooooooh, I see-Ed)...care to share with the rest of the class?...
(Well, on one hand, the sanctity of the source/journo privacy stuff is absolute, when it suits them, but when it comes to Nick Fletcher, they're falling over themselves to cooperate with the police and dob-in their 'source'-Ed)...spot on...the ABC et al have been bellicosely bellowing about the importance of protecting their 'sources', particularly as it relates to these AFP raids, but both the ABC and The Border Watch have readily dropped me right in it...indeed, the ABC were so keen to screw me over they've added to the falsely derogatory narrative by providing a lie-riddled Affidavit that refers to me as a 'problematic complainer' who was 'banned from the ABC', etc, and in Court claimed to have kept 'a file' on me, and quoted staff as referring to me as 'that shit'...("your most trusted source of news, without bias or agenda"-Ed)...indeed, as they regularly self-promote, and as often contradicted by their massively biased and skewed 'reportage' of my "bizarre trial"...every story they've done was about how rude I was to the poor ol' Magistrate and how I'd been warned about 'Contempt of Court', etc, etc, but never a word that supported/reported the actual realities of how appallingly biased and corrupted the whole thing was...when it comes to me, the ABC South East Radio has one agenda, get the bastard, and they have never ever let the facts get in the way of a good character assassination...
I force myself to listen to the ABC South East as often as possible 'cos of the Need To Know thing, but I rarely if ever watch ABC News anymore, and their morning news program has degenerated into little better than a pro-LNP infommercial entirely indistinguishable from the dross being produced in the MSM, eg, the appalling Sunrise program...(it's almost a disease, isn't it?-Ed)...well it's clearly infectious...can't bring myself to watch the appalling The Insiders program, with the new host David Speers, freshly recruited from the lunatic-fringe Right Wing Nut Job cavalcade that is Sky News...but, driven by the 'Need To Know To Have An Informed Opinion' paradigm, I try listening to it instead on the ABC/BBC News Radio...Speers has already proven himself to be a stooge-like Liberal/National apologist, and his original 'interview' with PM Scott 'Scummo' Morrison...(I like 'Scotty From Marketing' better-Ed)...whatevs, that interview was at best pathetic, and better described as complicit...today's The Insiders was even worse...Speers continuously spewed-out LNP rhetoric as facts/questions, and then feverishly interrupted and badgered ALP leader Anthony 'Eggs Over' Albanese, particularly when Eggsy started to dismantle the massively biased questioning...I ain't no Eggsy barracker, indeed, I reckon that the ALP is only marginally better than the LNP...(well just look at the corruptly complicit role that SA Labor Premiers Mike Rann and Jat Weatherill have played in the St Martins Cover-up-Ed)...well indeed, and that complicit corruption runs to Federal Ministers, including the much-celebrated Julia Gillard...regular availees will be well aware of the communications between then Liberal Member for Barker Patrick Secker and then Labor Education Minister Julia Gillard...(is that the one where Gillard wrote back saying 'gee whiz, so sad, not my responsibility, it's a state issue'?-Ed)...that be they...
Anyhoos, The Insiders is appalling but it's no more than a culmination of the wholesale pro-LNP bias that contaminates every single piece of work coming out of the supposedly Left Wing ABC...and in my extensive personal experience, the ABC is willingly complicit in covering-up Child Abuse to a far greater extent than they have 'exposed' any...and that brings us to this week's latest ABC festival of self-congratulation and hypocritical sanctimony...(you
mean the stuff about the child abuse at St Kevin's College and the
grooming of a student and the self-absorbed attitudes of the headmaster
and broader Catholic community, etc, etc?-Ed)...yep, all that stuff,
and if dear availees are not familiar with that story, there's tons on
the Interweb, just search it...this just hammers home to me the vast gulf between what the ABC claims to do, and what they've actually done with the St Martins Cover-up...in this instance they've gone after a case that apparently involves a single child and that has already been through the Courts, so what ever they've generated since is effectively after the fact, they're on relatively safe ground...however, that's not my main gripe here, arguably any action that holds any perpetrator and/or their supporter/protector to account is a positive outcome, but this case is specifically about a teacher 'grooming' one child...
The St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up is about "text-book grooming paedophile" teacher Glyn Dorling emotionally and psychologically manipulating a whole class of 7 year old kids so as to facilitate physical abuses.
There is clear evidence of this from the kids, including physical abuses already occurring.
It was Flinders Child Protection Unit who used the term "text-book grooming paedophile".
The ABC giving deeply traumatised parents minimal and highly-censored airtime in a context where we were being viciously attacked in our community as troublemakers, that's not reporting, that was deliberately setting us up for further abuse and denigration.
The ABC has always presented any discussion of the St Martins Cover-up in a highly censored form, and as being 'allegations' of parents, not as fact.
The ABC has never done any independent investigation of the St Martins Cover-up.
The ABC has repeatedly refused to do any investigation of the St Martins Cover-up.
The ABC is absolutely complicit in the St Martins Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up.
Myself and a coupla' other families were and still are being attacked as deceitful troublemakers, including the extraordinary Pro-Paedophile Corruption of the former Member for Mt Gambier, the rankly corrupt Rory McEwen, who regularly had me 'banned' from the ABC by having a chat with his mates there, and who openly attacked us parents on the front page of The Border Watch in May 2005, accusing us of "actually hounding the teacher", etc...similarly, TBW has never done any actual story about the St Martins Cover-up, instead presenting any story as 'parent allegations', etc, whilst simultaneously allowing people like Rory McEwen to corruptly attack us on the front page...and TBW were also a key SAPol witness against me in Court...(is that the 'Charges' you were 'Convicted' of for 'talking to the media'?-Ed)...yep, think about that dear availees, 'Convicted' for merely talking to the media...(and 'Convicted' under the ICAC Act 2012 Section 56 even though those 2 charges were actually alleged breaches of Sec 54?-Ed)...indeed...(which SAPol knew but pursued anyway-Ed)...yep...(and Magistrate White was either ignorant or just complicitly biased-Ed)...or both...regardless, this is what the whole fiasco is about, it's about attacking me and deliberately causing me as much stress as possible, etc, but more importantly, it's about trying to denigrate and discredit undermine me by promoting the idea that I'm just some nasty troublemaker...
Don't like me? your choice, I'll get over it...don't believe me? then that's your loss...it comes back to those 2 basic points, namely, if I did to someone, eg, Member for Barker Tony Pasin and/or any number of other politicians and/or ABC/TBW/Lutheran hierarchy, etc, if I did to these people what they know Glyn Dorling was doing to 7 year old kids in that classroom at St Martins, then I'd be at the very least facing charges of Assault, Sexual Assault, and Deprivation of Liberty...(and as you've so graphically illustrated before, just alluding to doing that brings with it a looming and threatening sense of impending violence, etc-Ed)...exactly, just talking about it shows how serious it is...and secondly, if I'm such a lying bastard, why have I not been held to account with multiple 'Criminal Defamation' trials?...and I don't mean the multiple vacuous 'Defamation Threats' that have been hurled my way by the ABC and the Education Dept and the Crown Solicitor and my li'l mate and alleged lawyer 'Bouncin' Billy DeGaris, etc, etc...why have none of these corrupt clowns followed through with their 'threats'?...why hasn't Billy, himself allegedly a lawyer, why hasn't li'l Billy sued me as he has repeatedly threatened to do?...because those threats are exactly that, threats, gutless attempts to try and intimidate me and/or to be used to try and manipulate The Googles into pulling down damning posts...
In conclusion, the ABC is absolutely complicit in covering-up the gross abuses committed by "text-book grooming paedophile" Glyn Dorling at St Martins Lutheran School, abuses that they (the ABC, Lutherans, SAPol, politicians, etc) all know did happen, and apparently/likely occurred across several years and to potentially hundreds of kids at that school...in my experience, nothing the ABC does about addressing Child Abuse excuses or extinguishes their rank Pro-paedophile Corruption regarding the St Martins Cover-up...
Tomorrow: Corrections SA Says Gaol Is The Correct Place For People With Mental Health Issues
(Particularly if their name is Nick Fletcher-Ed)...well it certainly doesn't help, and that's why that post is titled, Corrections Commits To The Pro-Paedophile Political Persecution Of Nick Fletcher, but the more critical and fundamentally indefensible reality of what's being done to me, is best high-lighted by again removing me from that equation...(yeah, I see your point, even though this is clearly about punishing you for continuing to speak-out about the St Martin's Lutheran School Child Abuse Cover-up and SA's Institutionalised Pro-Paedophile Corruption, etc, it's even more damning of Corrections when considered as a broader reality-Ed)...yep, as described just above it's irrefutably damning...
I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog...sorry about the lack of humour in recent posts, but I just ain't got it in me at the moment...and if this post causes stress or triggers stuff for you, again, please to be talking to someone about it, being the victim of assault and/or the parent of an abused child, etc, that ain't your fault, the responsibility lies with the perpetrator and the Authorities who are supposed to deal with it...cheers and laters...
@ScottMorrisonM must go along with his corrupt forging, lying, stealing, kiddy-fiddling, sex tourism, climate denying, rolex wearing, dual citizen, coalhuggingMurdoch loving, franking credit, racist, IPA cult.
***...(whaaa?-Ed)...okay, sure, that's from several weeks ago, and he's making references to a whole range of issues, but here's a quick guide...Scummo went to Hawaii and his office openly lie-denied it then he told openly conflicting stories about when that holiday was planned and how he'd promised his kids, etc, and how he was gunna' rush home but instead sat on the beach and reportedly also went to New York...(and now he's saying he was gunna' go holiday on the NSW South coast but had to go to Hawaii when he changed the dates-Ed)...and then that he was on his way to India, which is in the opposite direction, etc...Scummo said that he would "burn for you" after his re-election...'we'll beat them' refers to the relentless lies about Australia's Emission Targets, lies based on dodgy accounting using past 'credits', etc...the promise for $11m for fire-fighting was a repeated promise from 2 years before...Scummo's self-infatuated twist on how angry Ozzies were that he'd pissed-off on holiday, 'they're comforted I'm back'...he and Angus Taylor were filmed laughing on their way into a meeting with fire-fighters and victims...the rest is self-explanatory, but if you need explanation, just Interweb search it...("rolex wearing"?-Ed)...for example, refers to the incident where Stuart Roberts, Tony Abbott, and Ian McFarlane accepted $250,000 worth of expensive rolex watches from a Chinese billionaire...(ah yeah, and then claimed they thought the watches were fakes and therefore that made it ok, etc-Ed)...not just okay, fine, just fine...
And in the previous post we covered a bunch of stuff about Scummo and his apparently deliberate gross mis-handling of virtually every aspect of the current National Fire Disaster, and how his own self-approved self-promoting TV ad had so spectacularly back-fired...(not least of all by dot-pointing all of the things that he'd been embarrassed/forced into doing by the Twitterati-Ed)...indeed, and a discussion about the apparent/potential reality that Scummo's happy-clapping Pentecostal belief system about the Rapture, etc, was the genuine motivation for his inaction and incompetence and arrogance and indifference, eg, going on holidays in Hawaii...(that was a long post and even then we missed a coupla' key points-Ed)...yes we did, and there's now a bunch more stuff, literally everyday Scummo finds new and exciting ways to be a deceitful, duplicitous prick...(yay-Ed)...we missed, for example, his initial comments about how volunteer firefighters "want to be there", and that they don't want to be paid, etc...then later he's succumbed to Twitter pressure to pay firefighters because they're spending weeks and even months away from work, and now he's constantly running that self-congratulatory line about how he's paying, but the reality is that very few will actually qualify and almost no-one will get the full $6,000...(for example, self-employed contractors and farmers, etc, who will struggle to prove a specific loss, they'll get Sweet FA-Ed)...exactly...(and isn't $6,000 a pitiful amount for some who have been on duty for weeks and even months?-Ed)...indeed, why not a base daily payment?...(and aren't some people being refused Centrelink support because official maps exclude their fire-ravaged areas-Ed)...yep, there's a raft of instances where people cannot get support now, are getting minimal support, and/or will struggle to comply with criteria for 'compensation'...
And Scummo continues to focus on this 'post disaster' stuff rather than acknowledge the failings that have led us into this "absolutely unprecedented crisis"...(and Smoko keeps saying that too, firstly, that every preparation was done, second, it's all a State-based responsibility, and third, he's very keen to again deflect from his failures to listen to experts who repeatedly warned him that this exact scenario was imminent, he's denialist-diverting by saying that 'the magnitude of the damage is because these are "unprecedented fires"-Ed)...yep, he really hammered that point in the farcical LNP Scomo Promo interview he did with David Speers...(that was a rolling catastrophe of an interview-Ed)...yep, and we'll discuss it shortly...anyhoos, as you say, one is an abject lie, two is shameless blame-shifting, and three, this 'unprecedented' catch-phrase is exactly as you describe, trying to shift the focus away from his original lie about preparedness...(I also enjoy the way he tries to dismiss that advice of multiple former Fire Commissioners, etc, and denigrate them personally, by smugly, smirkingly stating 'I prefer to listen to current Commissioners/experts'-Ed)...Smirko, Scummo, Smoko, take ya' pick...(geez, every time I see that sickening smirk I just wanna' wipe it right off his smug denialist face-Ed)...you and about 23 million other Australians...(no wonder that have to send a squad of Riot Police with him to his disgusting photo-op drop-ins at fire-affected communities-Ed)...and of course carefully organise people who will actually shake his hand, not be physically forced to do it...
And even then Scummo manages to thoroughly screw it up, eg, during a carefully choreographed stop on Kangaroo Island, he outrageously and ignorantly declared how great it was no lives had been lost...(the day after a father and son had been killed-Ed)...and when some-one told him, his immediate and clearly disingenuous response was 'I was talking about the fire fighters'...(that's absolute crap! he clearly didn't know or had even forgotten-Ed)...yep, classic Scummo, don't apologise, don't admit fault, just belligerently bluster ya' way through, spew rhetoric, and quickly go onto something else...and in that Speers interview/promo, he doubled-down on that tactless and dismissive lie by repeating and defending it, 'I was talking about fire fighters...(but they were fire fighters! they were caught in a fire front whilst returning from fighting other fires-Ed)...indeed, and Scummo would know that, particularly after the debacle of the original statement and denialist-lie to try and excuse that statement...(and yet he goes on national TV and repeats and defends that lie???!!!-Ed)...that's our Scotty, no shame, no respect, no responsibility, it's all about Scotty, mate...he's also very keen to re-define people's anger with him as 'their trauma and/or emotion', and he's vowed to "not take it personally"...(but people are furious with him personally, and not just with his initial failures and Climate Change denials, etc, but with his woeful response to the crisis, eg, buggering-off to Hawaii!-Ed)...no no mate, it's not Scummo's fault, and according to him 95% of people have been just ecstatic to see him...(sure, and that's why he needs a bulkily conspicuous protection squad-Ed)...well quite...
Scummo also congratulates himself for providing $20million to lease/rent 4 more heavy water bomber planes, but he was advised early last year to have at least this many available early and full-time...now it's been exposed that there are at least 8 planes on offer from the USofA, but that Scummo has not taken-up that offer...(whaaa?!-Ed)...and similarly he has failed to accept offers of help from several other countries, eg, Denmark, France...(but why would you refuse to accept this vital help-Ed)...because you're a Rapture-Captured nutjob? or perhaps other 'conspiracy theories' are applicable, eg, clearing large tracts of land held in National Parks and removing rural/regional communities for commercial forestry or farming or Fracking or other mining enterprise...(or a combination of these-Ed)...gourd knows mate, given a litany of lunacies to choose from, does that make any of them accurate/true?...(true-Ed)...is Scummo just such a self-obsessed megalomaniac so wholly consumed by his own huberis, etc, that he has refused to listen to anyone, and then when events prove him wrong, he simply cannot accept that he has failed so completely?...(and so he stubbornly refuses to act to rectify his mistakes/failures-Ed)...and never, ever admit fault and certainly never apologise...
Language Warning:...it is easy to be 100% accurate with the benefit of hindsight, but the moment I saw Scummo furiously self-promoting his (then) upcoming interview with the 'new' ABC 'journo' David Speers, I knew that it was going to be a carefully choreographed denialist, revisionist cluster-fuck...(and boy, they didn't fuckin' let ya' down did they?-Ed)...End Language Warning...no they shreckin' did not...lies, denials, refusal to answer specific questions, relentless un-challenged rhetoric and fake statistics, etc, etc, over and over and over, ad infinitum, it was a disastrous joke...as one witty scribe described, 'you can tell when Scummo's lying because he gives overly-long answers whilst not actually answering the questions'...(spot on-Ed)...and Speers, freshly recruited across from the rancidly unhinged Right Wing Sky News channel, he just let Scummo go for it, it was pathetic and disgraceful and typical of the wholly compromised ABC...(well maybe Speers had no idea what he was talking about and therefore couldn't challenge any of it?-Ed)...mate, I use the very generous 'If Nick Knows Scale' of political knowledge, in that I'm a relative novice so if I know what's happening, I quite rightly expect a supposed political journo to know...(hmmm, fair enough-Ed)...so when I know that this bare-faced deceit about 'meeting our Kyoto/Paris/Carbon Credit commitments at a canter' is a cynical lie backed by dodgy accounting utilising previous 'credits' to fudge the current figures, etc, then I expect a 'journo' to challenge that constant lie from Scummo & Co...(and not just challenge it but destroy it once and for all-Ed)...exactly, because a lie allowed often enough inevitably is seen to be the truth...
Mr Speers should also know Scummo's self-congratulatory lies about this being the first time that the Defense Forces have been mobilised to help in a National Disaster...(but what about all the times that the Army/Navy/Airforce have been on the ground during floods and fires previous?-Ed)...my point exactly, it's common knowledge, but apparently Speersy don't know...and through-out this interview/promo Scummo is furiously trying to re-define the focus of any discussion by shifting it away from his responsibilities and what he/the Liberals were repeatedly warned about, eg, those Fire Commissioner warnings...he's carefully and repeatedly talking about 'learning lessons' and 'adapting to a changing environment', and the classic 'we at the LNP believe in climate change'...(whilst multiple LNP Ministers continue to denounce it as 'Green propaganda alarmist nonsense', eg, Craig 'I Ain't As Stupid As I Look' Kelly on BBC TV News last week-Ed)...yep, and the LNP have tried to dismiss that train-wreck interview as not relevant because it was supposedly just Craigo's opinion, etc...(but the BBC have stated that they asked for a Minister and what the LNP sent them was Craigo-Ed)...indeed...(and only weeks ago Deputy PM Michael 'I'm Completely Sane, Really I Am' McCormick publicly denounced Climate Change as being the fevered imaginings of inner-city lunatics-Ed)...well, if anyone's qualified to identify what genuine lunacy is, it's our Mikey-boy, we love 'im...
(I love Smoko's smug smirking denigration of the former Fire Chiefs, as repeated in this Speer's interview-Ed)...and Scummo certainly seems to enjoy himself whilst doing it, and I love watching that sickening smirk while he says it...I also particularly love how he's deliberately trying to do the Overcome With Grief Voice Breaking Stutter thing...(yep, that $190,000 Empathy Training is really bearing fruit-Ed)...if only Scummo wasn't such a soulless and pitiful actor...(yep, if there's one thing worse than an uncaring, smirking incompetent at the controls, it's a clearly confected fake and failed incompetent attempt at empathy-Ed)...I've seen him give it a coupla' goes now, and pathetically fail each time, it's so obviously fake that he should just give it away as a lost cause...(the way he has to large areas of Australia?-Ed)...yeah, just like that...and while he's at it, he can give-up the responsibility-denying divertionary crap about how this is a "Natural Disaster", there's clearly nothing 'natural' about the scale of these fires, it's just another attempt to divert people's attention from the LNP's rank failure to heed the very specific multiple warnings and advice from early 2018, and in some instances advice/warnings going back many years, eg, the Garnaut Report from 2008...
Even as I listen, the ABC South East Radio is giving free rein to Ross Hampton of the Forestry Products Association arguing that it's National Parks fault that's there such big fires and 'experts in their ivory towers', and railing against increased National Parks, etc, and then on comes Member for Barker, Liberal Tony Pasin, co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Forsetry...and he doesn't disappoint, straight into spruiking Scummo's farcical Royal Commission announcement, immediately followed by blithe platitudes about brave firefighters, etc, and back to Scummo's agenda of denying culpability about the past fsilings that got us into this disastrous situation and instead shifting to 'learn lessons' and 'load reduction', and then a classic appalling dog-whistling Liberal shot at 'those who culturally don't want management programs'...(yeah, I notice that he very carefully didn't actually say 'Greens', but that's the reference he's making, alluding to and fueling the absolutely false Right Wing narrative that it's 'The Greens' who have stopped appropriate hazard reduction burns, etc, and are therefore to blame for the current NFD-Ed)...despite clear evidence to the contrary, eg, there are bugger-all Greens in state Parliaments, there are issues of gross under-funding of Parks, etc, and NSW Fire Commissioner Fitzsimmon himself saying it's an issue of diminishing 'windows of opportunity to burn' due to shorter, drier Winters...and then Tony's on to how the Federal government show leadership, and something about using the supposed $2b Fire Fund for phone towers to improve coverage and therefore safety...(but in NSW, the first casualty was phone/internet communications, surely a radio-based system is preferable-Ed)...well exactly, dunno' what he's on about there...
And it's widely being reported and increasingly addressed the deliberate attempts in the MSM, ABC, and particularly multiple 'bot and/or troll accounts' on 'social media' to deliberately manipulate and misrepresent the data and thusly distract and deceive on behalf of 'Climate Deniers', by spreading false stories about the current fire disaster being the fault of arsonists...(and also that it's the fault of 'Greenies' who have stopped appropriate fuel-reduction-Ed)...yeah, or a combination of both...MSM has been absolutely appalling in giving un-challenged airtime to lunatics like Barnaby Joyce, and the ABC has also allowed a lot of this stuff to go unchallenged...and yet again, even with the bots/trolls, it's been Twitter and the like that have held the line against this wave of disinformation, effectively identifying and countering this deeply cynical and corrupted narrative...(and again, FC Fitzsimmons himself countering these claims by stating the facts, a relatively small percentage are deliberate arson-Ed)...like I said, everyday is a constant battle against the deliberate misinformation and denial and deceit, not least of all from Scummo himself, so I'm sure we'll back on this topic again later this week, but that's enough for now...
Tomorrow: A Thorough FARC Post
I know that I've repeatedly promised a post about Mt Gambier City Council's relentless campaign of deceits and manipulation as they force-feed Mt Gambier Ratepayers the Farcical Aquatic Recreation Centre, so here's a brief teaser, and I absolutely promise this as the next post...MGCC has only just posted in The Border Watch last Friday 3rd January 2020, their intention to apply for State Government approval for development of the Olympic Pk site...(sorry what?! they've spent a small fortune on a dodgy 'public voting process', external consultants and architects, gourd knows how much time of Council staffers, etc, and now, nearly 2 years into the process, now they're applying for Development Approval?!-Ed)...yep...(and there's nothing at all cynically conspiratorial about hiding that official public notification of intent to apply, etc, hiding that in TBW 2 days after New Year when many people are away and/or busy with other holiday activities, etc-Ed)...no no, gourd bless, just because it's a classic political manipulation to try and hide things in the media by dropping them late of a Friday or immediately before a public holiday, etc, that doesn't mean that's what the perpetually corrupt MGCC is doing............(are you waiting for me to say something?-Ed)...no no, just saying, I'm sure it's just a complete coincidence.........(and?-Ed)...and nothing, that's all.........(?-Ed)...and that's why we're gunna' call the next post, Puttin' The FARC Before The Horse...
But it does remind me of that hilarious Australian Electoral Commission exoneration of the Liberal Party/Gladys Liu/Josh Frydenberg for deliberately using AEC purple livery on signs at polling booths at the May 2019 Federal Election...AEC Purple signs, written in Chinese, that stated that "the correct" or "the right" way to vote was Liberal...(wow-Ed)...and prepare to be further 'wowed', because that exoneration, qualified as it was with statements about 'potential illegality', etc, was justified by the bizarre statement that those signs 'hadn't influenced anyone'...(but how the shreck would the AEC know that? did they speak to every voter?-Ed)...no no, that's the AEC 'opinion'...(wow, just wow-Ed)...indeed, and we ain't done yet...(gourd spare me-Ed)...'cos that exoneration was dropped mid-afternoon on Christmas Eve...(of course it was, shreck me-Ed)...and the AEC is a completely Independent Authority, not at all complicit, colluding, or controlled by the LNP...(well now you're just taking the piss-Ed)...well quite...
I am Nick Fletcher and this is my blog, cheers and laters...(exactly how much 'Notice to Apply' are MGCC required to provide the long-suffering Ratepayers who are gunna' get lumbered with paying for this $40m+ FARC White Elephant? how much notice and where and how soon, etc?-Ed)...dunno' mate, but I will try to find out and include that in the post...(cheers-Ed)...laters...
***...(whaaa?-Ed)...okay, sure, that's from several weeks ago, and he's making references to a whole range of issues, but here's a quick guide...Scummo went to Hawaii and his office openly lie-denied it then he told openly conflicting stories about when that holiday was planned and how he'd promised his kids, etc, and how he was gunna' rush home but instead sat on the beach and reportedly also went to New York...(and now he's saying he was gunna' go holiday on the NSW South coast but had to go to Hawaii when he changed the dates-Ed)...and then that he was on his way to India, which is in the opposite direction, etc...Scummo said that he would "burn for you" after his re-election...'we'll beat them' refers to the relentless lies about Australia's Emission Targets, lies based on dodgy accounting using past 'credits', etc...the promise for $11m for fire-fighting was a repeated promise from 2 years before...Scummo's self-infatuated twist on how angry Ozzies were that he'd pissed-off on holiday, 'they're comforted I'm back'...he and Angus Taylor were filmed laughing on their way into a meeting with fire-fighters and victims...the rest is self-explanatory, but if you need explanation, just Interweb search it...("rolex wearing"?-Ed)...for example, refers to the incident where Stuart Roberts, Tony Abbott, and Ian McFarlane accepted $250,000 worth of expensive rolex watches from a Chinese billionaire...(ah yeah, and then claimed they thought the watches were fakes and therefore that made it ok, etc-Ed)...not just okay, fine, just fine...
And in the previous post we covered a bunch of stuff about Scummo and his apparently deliberate gross mis-handling of virtually every aspect of the current National Fire Disaster, and how his own self-approved self-promoting TV ad had so spectacularly back-fired...(not least of all by dot-pointing all of the things that he'd been embarrassed/forced into doing by the Twitterati-Ed)...indeed, and a discussion about the apparent/potential reality that Scummo's happy-clapping Pentecostal belief system about the Rapture, etc, was the genuine motivation for his inaction and incompetence and arrogance and indifference, eg, going on holidays in Hawaii...(that was a long post and even then we missed a coupla' key points-Ed)...yes we did, and there's now a bunch more stuff, literally everyday Scummo finds new and exciting ways to be a deceitful, duplicitous prick...(yay-Ed)...we missed, for example, his initial comments about how volunteer firefighters "want to be there", and that they don't want to be paid, etc...then later he's succumbed to Twitter pressure to pay firefighters because they're spending weeks and even months away from work, and now he's constantly running that self-congratulatory line about how he's paying, but the reality is that very few will actually qualify and almost no-one will get the full $6,000...(for example, self-employed contractors and farmers, etc, who will struggle to prove a specific loss, they'll get Sweet FA-Ed)...exactly...(and isn't $6,000 a pitiful amount for some who have been on duty for weeks and even months?-Ed)...indeed, why not a base daily payment?...(and aren't some people being refused Centrelink support because official maps exclude their fire-ravaged areas-Ed)...yep, there's a raft of instances where people cannot get support now, are getting minimal support, and/or will struggle to comply with criteria for 'compensation'...
And Scummo continues to focus on this 'post disaster' stuff rather than acknowledge the failings that have led us into this "absolutely unprecedented crisis"...(and Smoko keeps saying that too, firstly, that every preparation was done, second, it's all a State-based responsibility, and third, he's very keen to again deflect from his failures to listen to experts who repeatedly warned him that this exact scenario was imminent, he's denialist-diverting by saying that 'the magnitude of the damage is because these are "unprecedented fires"-Ed)...yep, he really hammered that point in the farcical LNP Scomo Promo interview he did with David Speers...(that was a rolling catastrophe of an interview-Ed)...yep, and we'll discuss it shortly...anyhoos, as you say, one is an abject lie, two is shameless blame-shifting, and three, this 'unprecedented' catch-phrase is exactly as you describe, trying to shift the focus away from his original lie about preparedness...(I also enjoy the way he tries to dismiss that advice of multiple former Fire Commissioners, etc, and denigrate them personally, by smugly, smirkingly stating 'I prefer to listen to current Commissioners/experts'-Ed)...Smirko, Scummo, Smoko, take ya' pick...(geez, every time I see that sickening smirk I just wanna' wipe it right off his smug denialist face-Ed)...you and about 23 million other Australians...(no wonder that have to send a squad of Riot Police with him to his disgusting photo-op drop-ins at fire-affected communities-Ed)...and of course carefully organise people who will actually shake his hand, not be physically forced to do it...
And even then Scummo manages to thoroughly screw it up, eg, during a carefully choreographed stop on Kangaroo Island, he outrageously and ignorantly declared how great it was no lives had been lost...(the day after a father and son had been killed-Ed)...and when some-one told him, his immediate and clearly disingenuous response was 'I was talking about the fire fighters'...(that's absolute crap! he clearly didn't know or had even forgotten-Ed)...yep, classic Scummo, don't apologise, don't admit fault, just belligerently bluster ya' way through, spew rhetoric, and quickly go onto something else...and in that Speers interview/promo, he doubled-down on that tactless and dismissive lie by repeating and defending it, 'I was talking about fire fighters...(but they were fire fighters! they were caught in a fire front whilst returning from fighting other fires-Ed)...indeed, and Scummo would know that, particularly after the debacle of the original statement and denialist-lie to try and excuse that statement...(and yet he goes on national TV and repeats and defends that lie???!!!-Ed)...that's our Scotty, no shame, no respect, no responsibility, it's all about Scotty, mate...he's also very keen to re-define people's anger with him as 'their trauma and/or emotion', and he's vowed to "not take it personally"...(but people are furious with him personally, and not just with his initial failures and Climate Change denials, etc, but with his woeful response to the crisis, eg, buggering-off to Hawaii!-Ed)...no no mate, it's not Scummo's fault, and according to him 95% of people have been just ecstatic to see him...(sure, and that's why he needs a bulkily conspicuous protection squad-Ed)...well quite...
Scummo also congratulates himself for providing $20million to lease/rent 4 more heavy water bomber planes, but he was advised early last year to have at least this many available early and full-time...now it's been exposed that there are at least 8 planes on offer from the USofA, but that Scummo has not taken-up that offer...(whaaa?!-Ed)...and similarly he has failed to accept offers of help from several other countries, eg, Denmark, France...(but why would you refuse to accept this vital help-Ed)...because you're a Rapture-Captured nutjob? or perhaps other 'conspiracy theories' are applicable, eg, clearing large tracts of land held in National Parks and removing rural/regional communities for commercial forestry or farming or Fracking or other mining enterprise...(or a combination of these-Ed)...gourd knows mate, given a litany of lunacies to choose from, does that make any of them accurate/true?...(true-Ed)...is Scummo just such a self-obsessed megalomaniac so wholly consumed by his own huberis, etc, that he has refused to listen to anyone, and then when events prove him wrong, he simply cannot accept that he has failed so completely?...(and so he stubbornly refuses to act to rectify his mistakes/failures-Ed)...and never, ever admit fault and certainly never apologise...
Language Warning:...it is easy to be 100% accurate with the benefit of hindsight, but the moment I saw Scummo furiously self-promoting his (then) upcoming interview with the 'new' ABC 'journo' David Speers, I knew that it was going to be a carefully choreographed denialist, revisionist cluster-fuck...(and boy, they didn't fuckin' let ya' down did they?-Ed)...End Language Warning...no they shreckin' did not...lies, denials, refusal to answer specific questions, relentless un-challenged rhetoric and fake statistics, etc, etc, over and over and over, ad infinitum, it was a disastrous joke...as one witty scribe described, 'you can tell when Scummo's lying because he gives overly-long answers whilst not actually answering the questions'...(spot on-Ed)...and Speers, freshly recruited across from the rancidly unhinged Right Wing Sky News channel, he just let Scummo go for it, it was pathetic and disgraceful and typical of the wholly compromised ABC...(well maybe Speers had no idea what he was talking about and therefore couldn't challenge any of it?-Ed)...mate, I use the very generous 'If Nick Knows Scale' of political knowledge, in that I'm a relative novice so if I know what's happening, I quite rightly expect a supposed political journo to know...(hmmm, fair enough-Ed)...so when I know that this bare-faced deceit about 'meeting our Kyoto/Paris/Carbon Credit commitments at a canter' is a cynical lie backed by dodgy accounting utilising previous 'credits' to fudge the current figures, etc, then I expect a 'journo' to challenge that constant lie from Scummo & Co...(and not just challenge it but destroy it once and for all-Ed)...exactly, because a lie allowed often enough inevitably is seen to be the truth...
Mr Speers should also know Scummo's self-congratulatory lies about this being the first time that the Defense Forces have been mobilised to help in a National Disaster...(but what about all the times that the Army/Navy/Airforce have been on the ground during floods and fires previous?-Ed)...my point exactly, it's common knowledge, but apparently Speersy don't know...and through-out this interview/promo Scummo is furiously trying to re-define the focus of any discussion by shifting it away from his responsibilities and what he/the Liberals were repeatedly warned about, eg, those Fire Commissioner warnings...he's carefully and repeatedly talking about 'learning lessons' and 'adapting to a changing environment', and the classic 'we at the LNP believe in climate change'...(whilst multiple LNP Ministers continue to denounce it as 'Green propaganda alarmist nonsense', eg, Craig 'I Ain't As Stupid As I Look' Kelly on BBC TV News last week-Ed)...yep, and the LNP have tried to dismiss that train-wreck interview as not relevant because it was supposedly just Craigo's opinion, etc...(but the BBC have stated that they asked for a Minister and what the LNP sent them was Craigo-Ed)...indeed...(and only weeks ago Deputy PM Michael 'I'm Completely Sane, Really I Am' McCormick publicly denounced Climate Change as being the fevered imaginings of inner-city lunatics-Ed)...well, if anyone's qualified to identify what genuine lunacy is, it's our Mikey-boy, we love 'im...
(I love Smoko's smug smirking denigration of the former Fire Chiefs, as repeated in this Speer's interview-Ed)...and Scummo certainly seems to enjoy himself whilst doing it, and I love watching that sickening smirk while he says it...I also particularly love how he's deliberately trying to do the Overcome With Grief Voice Breaking Stutter thing...(yep, that $190,000 Empathy Training is really bearing fruit-Ed)...if only Scummo wasn't such a soulless and pitiful actor...(yep, if there's one thing worse than an uncaring, smirking incompetent at the controls, it's a clearly confected fake and failed incompetent attempt at empathy-Ed)...I've seen him give it a coupla' goes now, and pathetically fail each time, it's so obviously fake that he should just give it away as a lost cause...(the way he has to large areas of Australia?-Ed)...yeah, just like that...and while he's at it, he can give-up the responsibility-denying divertionary crap about how this is a "Natural Disaster", there's clearly nothing 'natural' about the scale of these fires, it's just another attempt to divert people's attention from the LNP's rank failure to heed the very specific multiple warnings and advice from early 2018, and in some instances advice/warnings going back many years, eg, the Garnaut Report from 2008...
Even as I listen, the ABC South East Radio is giving free rein to Ross Hampton of the Forestry Products Association arguing that it's National Parks fault that's there such big fires and 'experts in their ivory towers', and railing against increased National Parks, etc, and then on comes Member for Barker, Liberal Tony Pasin, co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Forsetry...and he doesn't disappoint, straight into spruiking Scummo's farcical Royal Commission announcement, immediately followed by blithe platitudes about brave firefighters, etc, and back to Scummo's agenda of denying culpability about the past fsilings that got us into this disastrous situation and instead shifting to 'learn lessons' and 'load reduction', and then a classic appalling dog-whistling Liberal shot at 'those who culturally don't want management programs'...(yeah, I notice that he very carefully didn't actually say 'Greens', but that's the reference he's making, alluding to and fueling the absolutely false Right Wing narrative that it's 'The Greens' who have stopped appropriate hazard reduction burns, etc, and are therefore to blame for the current NFD-Ed)...despite clear evidence to the contrary, eg, there are bugger-all Greens in state Parliaments, there are issues of gross under-funding of Parks, etc, and NSW Fire Commissioner Fitzsimmon himself saying it's an issue of diminishing 'windows of opportunity to burn' due to shorter, drier Winters...and then Tony's on to how the Federal government show leadership, and something about using the supposed $2b Fire Fund for phone towers to improve coverage and therefore safety...(but in NSW, the first casualty was phone/internet communications, surely a radio-based system is preferable-Ed)...well exactly, dunno' what he's on about there...
And it's widely being reported and increasingly addressed the deliberate attempts in the MSM, ABC, and particularly multiple 'bot and/or troll accounts' on 'social media' to deliberately manipulate and misrepresent the data and thusly distract and deceive on behalf of 'Climate Deniers', by spreading false stories about the current fire disaster being the fault of arsonists...(and also that it's the fault of 'Greenies' who have stopped appropriate fuel-reduction-Ed)...yeah, or a combination of both...MSM has been absolutely appalling in giving un-challenged airtime to lunatics like Barnaby Joyce, and the ABC has also allowed a lot of this stuff to go unchallenged...and yet again, even with the bots/trolls, it's been Twitter and the like that have held the line against this wave of disinformation, effectively identifying and countering this deeply cynical and corrupted narrative...(and again, FC Fitzsimmons himself countering these claims by stating the facts, a relatively small percentage are deliberate arson-Ed)...like I said, everyday is a constant battle against the deliberate misinformation and denial and deceit, not least of all from Scummo himself, so I'm sure we'll back on this topic again later this week, but that's enough for now...
