Mandy Nolan slugging down her morning fix of caffeine before hopping on a plane to Newcastle to bang on with fellow holier-than-thou saviours about hallucinations of future generations living the brief dystopian life of a fried egg.
Nolan has just read a fellow tripper, Tim Winton’s new fiction where he plugs into the fearmongering spouted by neurotic money-and-power-hungry Greens parties across the world. Nolan thinks Winton’s hyperbole isn’t fiction, it’s real.
It hasn’t happened yet but soothsayers like Nolan and Winton just know and that is that. Anyone who disagrees with them is, according to Nolan’s Soapbox article, suffering a brain disorder.
Greens parties across the globe voted for enforced vaccinations, voted for imprisoning people in their homes over what has increasingly been revealed as a giant con designed to make a few big pharma oligarchs and their pollie mates (where is Greg Hunt?) rich beyond their wildest dreams.
The Greens helped remove our basic liberties and our autonomy over our own bodies. Nolan herself campaigned to coerce people into engaging in a mass experiment. The Greens have been in influential positions of power across the globe, particularly in Europe, for at least the last ten years. They are as responsible for the current environmental degradation as any other political party. Instead of looking local, maybe checking out the origins of the disgraceful state of our river system (that would mean having the backbone to challenge the powerful local agriculture and slaughter industries of Wardell, Casino and elsewhere that pump deadly toxins into our rivers 24/7), Nolan gets on her high horse and rides into Newcastle to rub shoulders with fellow evangelical saviours.
Coal-mining is a dirty business, granted, but so is politics. Stand-up comedians turned pollies aren’t exactly blazing a trail of glory across the planet.
