Righteous Chillit indignation.
Chillit:-It is unconscionable to me that Griffin and his peers have lifted huge portions of my work to smooth over their own inability to understand the south Indian Ocean.
Not only to Mike is this ‘unconscionable’ but also to many ‘thinking’ people, independent of; and not dependant on, the ‘political’ sphere of influence to earn a crust. The old expression “a nod is as good as a wink to a blind man” comes to mind. This mindless ‘culture’ is rampant within Australian government agencies; a quiet word over a drink between those with ‘power’ over peoples mortgage and kids schooling, very quickly becomes a matter of not only keeping a ‘nice’ job, but of survival. I can’t count the number of ‘public-servants’ who must either play nice or piss off. Protection of one’s rice-bowl is a reflex action, endemic to the corridors of power – but who could rat? One of my favourite lines in ‘Batman’ – “in a town this bad – who is there to rat to?” says it all really.
Chillit – “I was also told by Scripps Oceanography early on that debris would drift from Perth to the Mascarenes, so it wasn't just Griffin and CSIRO who had no idea how debris would move west of Australia”. - QED. Big time.
Chillit “[More] importantly, family members of those lost deserve apologies for the shoddy response Australia has given to the search effort for almost three years.
We – (PAIN) have been trying (alas, to no avail) to warn of the folly. The moment Dolan was allowed (or ordered) by the lady sub boss of the MM to take over ‘the search’ Australia was always going to be the bunny – lay down misère.
Who; and, for what reason influenced the Australian lacklustre performance will remain unknown – even a Royal Commission will fail to plumb the grubby depths of perfidy. That statement by the way is fully supportable; history proves it, categorically.
Chillit – “As a footnote, the real story now is that debris from MH370 washed up on St. Brandon island well north of Reunion Island before Australia sent the first deep sea sonar vessel to the search area. Malaysia and Australia should have known the plane could not possibly have gone down where they were searching, but they didn't take time to investigate other possibilities. And it wouldn't have cost a penny”.
We have, in the aviation sector, seen countless examples of this ‘blind’ persistence; the dogged determination to; no matter how, be seen to be ‘right’; this in the face of all logic or reason. The really bizarre part is that the Australian tax payer just keeps paying, not complaining and swallowing, holus-bolus, whatever the official line is.
There is a notion of ‘criminal’ involvement in the 370 saga; I am left to wonder; just who, exactly, are the ‘criminals?
Bravo Mike – keep ‘em honest. Choc frog follows.
