VICTORIAN BLUE RIBBON FOUNDATION: Buy a Small Token "Blue Ribbon" of Totalitarianism?

PANDEMIC WRITINGS, Melbourne, Australia (2020-2022): piece originally published September 25, 2021

Perhaps this year, on September 29th, the Victorian Blue Ribbon Foundation campaign should be kept shuttered behind local stations, respectfully subdued, and entirely focused upon those within the VicPol force.

May the police embrace their own sentiment of 'Honouring the fallen and those that serve,' without asking this to be reflected and embraced by the general community with financial contributions, token "blue ribbon" displays and congratulatory public recognition.

Keep it amongst yourselves, and self-congratulate your collective betrayal of all Victorians as you uphold Andrews' Police State Regime, dismantle freedoms and indiscriminately brutalise all that oppose.

You have all been instrumental in establishing an atmosphere of oppression that has degenerated, weakened and fractured Victorian society for the current vulture-ravaging of Medical Fascism — we have been torn asunder, and picked apart because of your service.

You are the enablers, the enforcers and the agents of terror: each, and all, now embodying the diseased spirit of the Gestapo and the East German Stasi that you have literally reincarnated with machine-minded anti-human gusto.

All in a uniform are complicit, for one in a uniform represents all, and all in a uniform represent one.

Yes, remember your fallen — they are categorically better men and women than you; and for some, such reflection might inspire compunction and trigger a conscience — for you are all currently a disgrace to their legacy, integrity and all that their noble service once represented.

It is an outrageous insult to engage a public that you have monstrously oppressed with a obnoxious request for support — your Tyrant has paid you, and you will never be able to redeem and repay us for your transaction with the Devil, and the Hell that you have upheld, and have unleashed.

Andrews could not have done it without you — you are the guilty men and women who have decimated hope, fined, sprayed and fired at the fleeing-future of Victoria, and you want us to buy a blue ribbon to congratulate you?

Let Premier Dan Andrews buy all your token blue ribbons — he has bought all of you already.
