The Health of the Nation

Last week we mirrored An Open Letter to Scott Morrison from the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre Champions of Change blog.

And back in September last year Darwin journalist Kylie Stevenson wrote this informative little piece for The Punch on the fear engendered against asylum seekers by the ignoramuses who amongst other things clog Facebook up with their hate pages.

Of course, the bogots probably did not bother to read either the blog or that article or the many others which have comprehensively demolished the myths which they like to spread around. So we decided to again put up the health statistics supplied by open letter writer and physician Dr Trent Yarwood. That is so you can readily recognise the gaping holes in what is to follow.

Now keeping these stats in mind let’s journey into the alternative fantasy universe of the bogots.

Take health expert and pioneer of do-it-yourself gender re-assignment Jayden Smedley. Jayden is one who never lets the truth get in the way of a good confected lie.

Playmate Trilby Steinberger is only too happy to add her 2 cents worth of hatred, followed by the Scumsite chief scummer coming up the rear.

Jayden as we can see has a past history on this. Not quite as drastic as Miranda who wants to bomb “thier (sic) disease ridden people” out of the water – but equally hateful and ill-informed. And of course the bogots’ favourite feared religious minority gets a mention as well.

The bogots’ favourite method of argument – vague accusations and third-party hearsay followed by an evidence-free tale  which even ACA or TDT would stay away from.

Now Jayden is a mine of information on health despite not being any sort of health care practitioner (unless there are witchdoctor courses on offer over teh interwebz). For instance, here is the comment to a Muslim man on his (hypothetical) bride.

We are not sure when the Finnish phone company Nokia started producing running shoes but we guess they do if Jayden the All Knowing Quacking  says so right Jayden?

Meanwhile home-grown Fascist towel boy Andrew Watts is as always nearby loyally clinging to Jayden’s mumbo-jumbo bag.

And Gauleiter Andy’s favourite sexual activity even manages an airing here, despite it having nothing to do with the subject.

It seems Jayden also fancies itself as a genetics expert. Lots of them amongst the bogotry.

Then probably realising it is out-classed by the average Year 7 Science student, Jayden hurriedly moves on to hand-washing, with a link of dubious provenance posted  either from a British tabloid or an anti-Muslim site, before the Year 7 student arrives to comment.

Jayden in true bogot  style then proceeds to refuse to provide the unnamed opponent below with any factual backup despite being asked and despite the charismatic presence of leading researcher and human centipede segment “Jack Schitt”.

Seems to us that the Qur’an has quite a lot of passages referring to washing, washing before prayers and personal hygiene in it, as opposed to the Bible which by contrast has very few. But this does not worry Jayden, who sails in regardless like a human Costa Concordia with about the same effect.

Bogot Knowledge Base

But just so we cannot be accused of ignoring Lydi….err Jayden’s extensive albeit evidence-deprived contribution to quackery modern epidemiology here is a tribute lovingly prepared by The Muppets.

A Man For No Seasons

It is not often we approach a subject with a mixture of déjà vu coupled with prescience, but when we are dealing with the Goblin Warrior anything is possible.

At various times, Goblin has declared the following

1. He is an SASR veteran. He supposedly served between 1982 and 1985. We are not sure in which theatre because at the time Australia was not at war. Nor were there any other substantial ops taking place which would require the presence of the SAS.

2. He is “a businessman”. One assumes/hopes he is of the legit variety. Please tell us where this business is so we may boycott it.

 

 

And the gift just keeps on giving…

Thighs and Whispers

Prejudice and intolerance feeds on ignorance, superstition and scurrilous evidence-free propaganda.

For instance a fast-growing foreign religious sect prompted much concern amongst the Roman authorities and led to instances of persecution and vilification.

Rumors of sexual depravity, child sacrifice and other disturbing behavior, left a stigma on the early Christians. Perhaps worst of all was the idea of cannibalism. The concept of breaking bread originating with the last supper, partaking of the blood and body of Christ, which later came to be known as Communion, was taken literally. To the Romans, where religious custom dictated following ancient practices in a literal sense, the idea of performing such a ritual as a representation was misunderstood, and the early cult had to deal with many such misperceptions.

Now when the Jews left the Holy Land at the time of the Roman Empire they went to the four corners of the known world and settled amongst foreigners of various ethnic backgrounds and religious beliefs.

In only one part of the world were they systematically discriminated against and even massacred. This was Europe – except for that part of Europe consisting of much of modern Spain and Portugal,  Al-Andalus,  which was ruled by the Islamic Caliphate for hundreds of years.

One of the propaganda instruments used for oppression was the so-called  Blood Libel which stated that Jews took the blood of Christian infants to use in the making of matzah for the Passover festival.

One of the earliest European versions of the blood libel story occurred in 12th Century England.

A dangerous, unfounded rumour that Jews had kidnapped a 12-year-old Christian boy, William of Norwich, and stabbed his head to simulate Jesus’s crown of thorns was used to justify persecution of Jews.

While the Norwich account does not contain the element of the draining of blood and its ritual use, some experts suggest it is a story of the same type and generally seen as the entry point into England for such accusations.

Decades later, Pope Innocent IV launched an investigation into the claims, which eventually declared them false.

The blood myths persisted however, and were at times used to incite pogroms, or anti-Jewish riots.

In 1840, the disappearance of French Franciscan priest Father Thomas and his servant in Damascus, Syria, was blamed on the city’s Jews.

Authorities helped perpetuate allegations that the priest was used in a ritual sacrifice. At least 13 Jews were incarcerated and probably tortured over the disappearance; four died.

The incident sparked an international backlash for both sides. American Jews staged protests, while some scholars claim it bolstered anti-Semitic attitudes in Europe and the Middle East.

During the 1930s, Nazi propaganda periodically explored accusations of Jewish ritual murder.

Thus do lies become “truths”. If they are repeated often enough they reinforce already groundless emotion-based prejudices and develop a hideous life of their own.

Now fast forward to the 21st Century and in many Western countries such as ours, Muslims have replaced Jews (for now) as the main objects of xenophobic hatred.

We journey to the island state of Tasmania where Jayden Smedley is happy to trumpet the latest variety of the “blood libel” story, this time targeting Muslims.

"I'm too sexy for my shirt..."

We know that evidence is frowned upon in the bogot’s Straya. In fact, much of their presentation relies on inflammatory evidence-free slanderous rhetoric delivered pulpit-style by one of their self-appointed “leaders”. Sounds a bit like a dodgy religious cult to us.

Now after that dissertation Jayden can hardly contain his excitement as without a shred of evidence he makes his next announcements to his fellow bigots.

Just as disturbing as the content is the sickeningly palpable excited relish which accompanies the disclosure. We get the worrying impression that this sort of material is a turn-on for both the protagonist and the intended audience. And we have seen this stuff before

And it is completely, entirely UNTRUE.

Jayden and his bigot friends are unable to cite one single real-world example except for apocryphal references which are probably invented, in just the way the Christians-as-cannibals and the “blood libel” were invented.

Watch Jayden get owned in this slide show.

While we are on this topic – PZ Myers is an evolutionary biologist and atheist commentator.

So tell us Jayden, with the many many documented cases of clerical child abuse in the Catholic Church, notably in Australia, shouldn’t you and the rest of the bigots be out there bellowing that all Catholics are paedophiles?

Of course all Catholics are not paedophiles. So why does Jayden want to smear Muslims with a similar charge on the basis of no evidence?

Jayden Smedley versus the health professionals

"I tried to blowdry with a Muslamic Raygun and this is the result"

Actually we are rather glad that Jayden and his racist mates like Matt don’t like Muslim health professionals. That means with the shortage of health workers we have in this country and with the heavy workloads of doctors, nurses and dentists,  more deserving folk can get treatment more quickly.

Just keep not getting medical or dental treatment lads. Australia’s gene pool can only be enhanced by your absence.

The APDM hates women

The far right have always hated women. Of course they won’t come out and say that because they would then be even less successful than they already are at recruiting women, whom they desperately need in their minute groups, firstly to give others the illusion that these failed men are real men and socially adept, secondly to open the beers and most importantly to massage their poor shrivelled little…egos.

Take the so-called “Australian Patriots Defence Movement” for instance. It is a small anti-Muslim Facebook group with an even smaller number of followers “on the ground”. The APDM makes a great show of beating its little collection of puny chests and pretending that they are concerned about women’s rights. However we were able to obtain evidence of what they really think.

Note the participants. Firstly, pin-up boy and self-styled legal expert Luke Jenkins . Luke has featured many times here at TAB, both for his unsavoury comments and the indignant squawks which ensue when he is featured. But he has no qualms about posting a photo up of a young mum whose only “crime” is to be an anti-racist Muslim.

Luke’s a real man isn’t he ladies? Wouldn’t you be proud to bring him home to Mum? Just tell her to hide the family pics.

We have showcased  Wyatt Wharton and his fantasies before but now he has taken fairy tales to a new high…or low.

Wyatt Derp has taken exception to the fact that someone is Muslim. So imagining he has her contact details, this intellectual pygmy proposes to *gasp – give it to the admin of the junk page he has posted on

While Wyatt and his fellow cave-dwellers slowly chew that one over, an anti-racist, also female, whose anonymity we also respect succinctly points out what we all know:

“Wyatt you are full of shit”

Indeed, and in Wyatt’s case it emanates copiously from the rear end of a horse.

Wart prepares to speak

Wyatt you are full of shit

Darren Bailey-Morris, goblin activist, then chimes in with his deep insights into the fair sex, obviously being refreshingly indifferent to his own distinct lack of eye appeal.

He is followed by Jayden Smedley who is apparently a female (??) but who enjoys a bit of a yarn with the lads, especially those with the intellectual leanings of Wart and his Posse of Pindicks.

Now pay attention ladies, here is Scott Hartley, giving us the benefits of his awesome sexual knowledge derived from almost 60 years spent in solo wanking. Note the position of the right hand. He must be dreaming.

PHWOAAAARRR!!

He coyly lets on that he is in an “open relationship (translation – his missus can’t stand him so she lets him wander the streets off the leash while she goes and enjoys herself) probably hoping to get it on with Jayden or Wart or even Goblin.

But there’s more…

Facebook resident psycho Batty Burqa has helpfully posted yet another photograph stolen from a Facebook page in its relentless quest to prove that the unnamed anti-racist in the conversation  is a *gasp…moooooslem

This is accompanied by squeals of excitement from one Marcus Jenkins, who displays an intimate knowledge of dog testicles as well as conspicuous talents as a spy photographer. ASIO should sign him up, since he has the knack of staying clear of the camera lens himself while capturing the humble features of his fellow bigots “patriots” in loving detail – and tagging them wrongly.

Maybe ASIO already have.

Marcus is very bashful as befits someone who is so impaired he thinks a picture of a Welsh dragon represents Anglo-Saxon culture. Marcus likes to post at memorial sites for dead babies, a rather creepy activity for someone with no connection to either the deceased or to the real people grieving there.

And it turns out that Luke and Batty had the wrong person all the time in both cases. Plus by publishing hijacked photos of one woman to attempt to intimidate another that they have no problem having their misogyny (look it up boys!) paraded for the world to see.

We remind these clowns that a prominent journalist has just been found guilty of racism in court. It’s not the anti-racists who need to fear the law.

And the screenshots? Sorry fellas, they are on their way to the police.

UPDATE

Of course Wart has form on this sort of thing. Never mind that wherever he gets his info is totally wrong – maybe Marcus Jenkins, G-man?
