GALLOP OVER THE TRUTH

Well, I dropped this into a 'sort of' suitable blog in The Australian with little expectation that it would get through. I was not disapointed -- it did not get through!

But I cc:'d it to others in the normal post-post process ... So, here for the public record it is ... I guess the original stroy will fall off the newspaper website -- so in brief: Geoff is Tony's school days buddy. He was WA's premier for a few years until he got 'sick' coming back from seeing Tony in late 2005. Here he aplogises for Tony. What are 'mates' for! And now Tony is going, going, gone.... yesterday's man.

In my opinion (and some others) Tony is a war criminal who has managed to spin his way out of being pinned for the deaths of 10-100,000's of innocent Iraqs -- for the time being at least. But history will hold him (and others invloved) to account.

Tony (and Geoff I understand) are what Phillip Adams would call "God Botherers" ... well I'm a believer too -- of accountability!

The cult watching goes on.... and on ... and on... tiresome really!

GALLOP OVER THE TRUTH

AND … “Geoff Gallop: Idealistic advocate caught out by his lack of cynicism” (http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21724186-7583,00.html) is a sop to one of the key perpetrators of this modern [Iraqi] carnage. Gallop concludes 'ode' with a friend’s hug (did he not learn the consequences of cuddling war criminals late in 2005?).

Tony Blair is a ‘believing fool’ and possibly worse – like G.W. Bush, he obviously believes that the ‘Divine force’ spoke and directed his actions – yeh? … smoke the other one Tony, and unlike Clinton try inhaling! You may not get to see the Truth -- but you'll definitely see the bullshit that spins round your ego's like Ozzie bush flies.

I’d drop Tony off in the middle of Baghdad city without his parliamentary pension and with a kick up his backside out the car door saying: “Fix this mess, jerk!”. Oh, and I’d give him a copy of the Good News (Geoff) Testament – not to covert the locals, but to read in his hotel room.

DAY1: Thou Shall Not Kill (or murder). Case study. Visit the grave yard and snigger at the 10-100,000s of dead Iraqi women, children and old folk – not to mention the chard remains of the Iraqi army incinerated by depleted uranium munitions.

And off you go to Geoff. Good news everywhere, for the blind ... You seem to be into running away from the mess you helped create as well. Oh, by the way, WA Inc II is going well here old chap! … I mean ‘Mate!’.

So Geoffrey, stick by your dumb mates by all means – but don’t come back here and consume our much depleted public health budget with your ‘depressions’! Better it went to the systemic Indigenous health system problem than your self indulgent middle-class neurosis. No compassion? Too hard? Naaa, you're worth it!

Yes, you developed the Sustainability program for WA – good on you. But past the words you never set up the viable system to carry it through. Anyways, has it ever occurred to you that by mixing the truth and ethical stances with the likes of Bush, Blair & Howard you run the risk of major duplicity? You are the one who needs cynicism, old chap – especially in respect to this likely future citizen of the unredeemed realms of the next world.

Ok, I'll stop here. Here comes that ‘black dog’ again … quick get that goooood-olde ‘belief’ out again … and please do not give my regards to your mate Tony: I want nothing to do with that Karma …

Tra!
