DTWH Downunder Dispatches: The Curtains Close on the McClown Show
A long overdue Ozpocalypse political update.
Good news, especially for fellow downunder dissidents: another Germ Conspiracist bites the dust.
Marky Mark McGowan — Premier of the hermit kingdom of Western Australia and second only to Victoria’s Dan the Manchild Andrews in the ranks of Germ Conspiring creeps downunder to have outed themselves in the last 3 years — has fallen on his syringe.
Not for the first time, I defer to Bek for an appropriately rigorous and brutal breakdown of how the McClown Show played out:
Long story short, Marky Mark was killing it (figuratively and literally): approval rating of over 90%, his State one of the undisputed Top 3 Zero-Covid-attempters, world leading population-wide Jab rates, owning anti-Jibby Jabbers with a fearsomely smug smirk on the daily from his bully pulpit.
In fact, as I outlined in our second instalment of ‘Rona Retrospectives, Marky Mark had so mastered the dark Germ Conspiracy arts that he was able to get away with literally cancelling Christmas by blaming it on an un-jabbed French backpacker:
What’s more to say about Marky Mark now that he has gone the same way as Jibby Jabinda Ardern aka the Witch from across the Ditch? Do I give him the same right royal send off that I gave to the Lizard Queen, or keep things a bit classier?
There is no reason to go easy on him: I lost all three of my jobs, couldn’t attend one of my best friends weddings, then wound up running for politics because of the world-“leading” Jibby Jab mandates his Government introduced to a depressingly consenting population. In fact, Western Australia had one of the highest rates of Jibby Jab compliance in the world: claimed to be above 95% of individuals aged 12 years and over before the boosters came on the scene and gave the game away, although who can really be sure of any pandemic statistic now.
Not surprisingly, with that much of the population perceived to be on your side, Marky was as petty and nasty in his anti-Jabber vitriol as any Germ Conspiracist lackey realm-wide. Those early days of dissidence were daunting and brutal; it is truly something, to have your friends and family question you as a person because of the deranged insinuations of an opportunistic, souled-out politician.
Yet, as I watched all 20-odd minutes of his farewell and suspiciously well-orchestrated resignation press conference, I mainly just felt pity: dude looked a genuine emotional wreck. However scripted and out-of-his-hands the resignation was (If Dan the Manchild follows soon, can we officially start talking about a ‘Rona Reckoning?), the truth of these political events reveals itself in the raw emotions of the actors.
On that note: the slightly-maniacal grin and exaggerated laughter of his better half was a bit off-putting, kinda like she might be trying a little too hard? It was — and I make no apologies in perpetuating this filthy rumour — an open secret in the Sandgroper conspiratorial freedom community that the two had split early in the pandemic following an affair.
Source, bro? I’ll give back to Mark the same level of due diligence he gave to the evidence against his tyrannically stupid mandates, social restrictions and border closures… an anonymous Telegram comment:
While no benefit of the doubt is deserved on Marky Mark’s behalf, what is also true is that nothing could be worse for a healthy relationship than politics — so, to paraphrase Orange Man’s iconic send-off to Ghislaine, let’s Wish Them Well (assuming he avoids Gitmo and get’s that cushy job in the Beijing-sponsored private sector that he has clearly being aiming for).
*Shakes off bad ju-ju*
Ok, where were we?
In fairness, it should be said that I have heard a lot of good things about Marky Mark from his Before Covid life. Ambitious, yes, sure: but a highly accomplished Navy officer, hard working Minister, and someone who I generally thought favourably of until he sold his soul. Let Marky Mark’s spiritual descent be a lesson to those aspirational public servants who seek to follow in his footsteps: unleashing your suppressed shadow self to appease the Germ Theory gods is a nice power trip… until they cut you loose and move on to seducing their next Transhumanist-summoning shill.
To Marky Mark’s credit, he could have played to the cheap seats and blamed the dastardly Anti-Jibby Jabbers for bullying him out of public life. No regrets though? I’m not so sure he doesn’t have a few.
One of the most bizarre and controversial moments of our downunder pandemic experience was when Marky Mark fronted a video with an Indigenous translator, who repeated in the “broken English” dialect of Kriol his patronising and deceitful calls to the Indigenous community to get Jabbed or face almost certain virus-ridden death:
The video (which you can watch in full here) undoubtably had a level of good intention behind it. Nonetheless, it was incredibly difficult to watch and was mocked by anti-Jab leaning folk locally and around the world after going viral: not because Muh Racism but because it was — see above — inherently patronising and deceitful in the message it was delivering.
In fact, it is really hard to properly capture just how patronising, arrogant and plain fucking gross the complete erasure of the sovereignty and agency of Australia’s Indigenous people during the height of the pandemic was — although I did my best here:
As the evidence I presented (in what I still think is my best video) makes crystal clear, this superiority complex cost countless Indigenous lives: literally countless, as we have no idea the true level of damage this aggressive jabbing campaign has and will continue to cause in remote communities.
The video was based on my first freedom rally speech at the end of 2021, and was the end product of the research I had been doing into the impacts of the Pandemic response (and particularly the Jibby Jab rollout) on Indigenous Australians. We thought about releasing it in the last week of the campaign as a last minute Hail Mary to capture some of the Based-Centrist vote, but ultimately decided it was a bit too spicy.
I’m glad it didn’t come out then — that I released it on its own terms and removed from politics about a month later — because since then the whole issue appears to have descended further into the partisan black hole of the “Voice to Parliament” referendum.
I won’t bore you with the specifics of the debate: if you are from Australia you are already sick of it, if you aren’t then you have no reason to direct any valuable attention to it. I will offer you this fun headline in conclusion, so that you can position it within the broader Western Culture Wars accordingly:
Looking forward to watching the Wilcannia Conspiracy. I've been watching a lot of Glenn Greenwald here about the Democratic Party not having a primary because Biden can't finish a sentence, the warhawk Jerry Nadler pooped his pants and waddled offstage, 'my' Senator berated a reporter for saying she hasn't been there--after she got back from 3 mo. absence.
Things are falling apart at the top of our 5 Eye/ NATO/ hegemonic disaster. Not fast enough.
Buh bye, Stinkbug. lol
Great post.
