No Sympathy Whatsoever




They were caught in a cruel hoax, both the perpetrators and the sinned against. They crept through the fog of time, and indeed, these days, the fog of war. We were caught betwixt and between, in the lattice of things. A cruel hoax indeed, pinned to the ether, pinned to the padded white wall, while the watchers on the watch taunted him about a lost opportunity, as if he cared, and the same insane measures they had used before reared up like horses on a battlefield, and all was lost and all was gained, and he had spent most of the previous days, since Friday, watching the Trump Biden debate; and the crawling destructiveness of it all.

How indifferent to their own species. How uncaring about anything but power. How absurd their notions of indifference, when the fate of nations and civilisations hung in the balance. 

We're on the brink of World War III, so declared politicians and analysts and spruikers of the common good. 

We're on the edge of another Great Depression, so declared politicians and analysts and spruikers of the common good. 

We're on the edge of an AI revolution, a game changing, civilisation ending turn of the wheel, so declared politicians and analysts and spruikers of the common good. 

And he sat here in this isolated bunker, and watched the world turn on its axis, and all the talent of the age was up against the ether, and our small part, in no small place, turned and turned like that insect pinned against the ether, and they all cried out, as the lieutenants moved amongst the troops, rallying their forces.

A rise in death threats, abuse and office attacks have parliamentarians and authorities on higher alert for danger as the Gaza war frays community cohesion.

Office attacks and death threats have MPs checking in more frequently with federal police as community cohesion strains over the war in Gaza.

Police including plain-clothed officers are accompanying parliamentarians to events to ensure their safety.

The Australian Federal Police has briefed lawmakers in the last session of parliament earlier in June about the need for vigilance in the community.

Australia's weather heading off the rails — cold, snowy change followed by possible record 'blocking high'

Australia's typical settled winter weather will head off the rails during the next week.

Firstly, polar air from Antarctica is surging towards south-east Australia and will bring gusty winds, showers and low-level snow this weekend.

While midwinter cold outbreaks are typical, the subsequent weather through the coming week is nothing short of bizarre.

A strong high-pressure system is forecast to stall near Tasmania by Monday, a very unusual position for July, which will reverse the direction of prevailing winter winds and result in another extended spell of wet days along the east coast, prolonged icy weather across the interior and south, and possibly culminate in a major inland rain event towards next weekend.

The blocking high is looking so dominant it may even challenge Australia's all-time air pressure record.

It Began

Image
  It began in cyclonic circumstance, with the wind whipping off Bondi Beach as he struggled through a gale up and down the beachfront. There was no life. The bars were all closed or closing. There were few people about. The gale was a dark force, or remained dark within him, as he fled sanity and constellations of connected intelligences and instead buried himself in the ordinary, a collapsed individual seeking abnegation.  It was hard to know what brought it on; although the Sense8 style hiding from other operatives was always a part of it.  He could hear them echoing in the land beneath the escarpment, propelled from the deep spirits of the forest, caring for what he did not know.  He really did not know. He moped around the house and lamented getting older, more ordinary, more convinced of deceit and abnegation and ordinary things; longing for purpose or confidence or identity, or just youthful determination. He prayed for courage, strength and determination, and ...

Fraud: Clamouring Dissent

Image
  Foul beasts stalked the Earth. Australia became the kingdom of liars. Dissent was quashed. Fraud was everywhere. The government lied, the politicians lied, the intelligence agencies lied, and deceit permeated every aspect of everybody's life. Taxed into oblivion, taxed into servitude, modern day slavery, overwhelmed by strangers, forced out of affordable accommodation, he'll be lucky to afford a van by the time we're finished with him, the cruel hoax these people represented was literally everywhere. A sharp dagger rammed up through their guts and disembowelled them. A sharp bird flew overhead, squawking with piercing eyes, knowing too much and avenging strangers.  The sacred and the profane. We are all guilty, chanted the Christians, while the spirits swirled in indifference, and time flowed over all of them. It was the injustice, and it was the dishonesty, it was the deceit, and it was the blatant fraud perpetuated by taxpayer entities, that's what got to him. MAINS...

Firebomb The Area

Image
  We're firebombing the area with a powerful hallucinogen, one of the operatives said. There isn't any doubt anymore. Some will wake up and some will not. A young soldier obsessed over chicken parmigiana, seemed to think about it almost daily, sometimes for hours on end. Nice to be young and hungry, Old Alex thought, there in that place where the ancients came and went, swirls of consciousness while attention was elsewhere, the Trump ascendancy, the remaking of the world, a kind of radical democratisation, the ill fitting thoughts and beliefs of the populace over riding the technocracy and fashionable left shibboleths of the elites. Some true evil had stalked the Earth. He had been in hiding. They had been invisible, or even less visible than usual, while every now and then a great swirl, almost of sadness, overwhelmed him. Come and gone. In abeyance. While the religious prayed fervently, or was it desperately. Release me from these spiritual bonds, these fleshly bonds. While h...
