Wildly Off Target

 


On behalf of my colleagues I would like to apologise. 

The problem with surveillance, particularly long term surveillance, was that it built up its own narratives. It was, literally, impossible to tell what was real and what was not. Some liked him, some forgave him, some despised him. Nobody likes to be caught in a lie. 

And so it went. Round and round and round in circles. He would be glad to go walkabout.

As for Australia? A truly appalling government, and a truly appalling Prime Minister in the form of Anthony Albanese, looked at this point as if they would reclaim power, a power they most certainly did not deserve.

Mind you, the other side was just as bad. And by this stage the public knew it all too well.

Everyone new it. Money was scare. Electricity was ridiculous. The price of everything just kept escalating. Petrol, basics, coffee, literally every thing.

The only things that held its price were illegal drugs, particularly ice, which the Chinese Communist Party was deliberately flooding the West with to destroy the social fabric, undermine moral, destroy the once industrious working class, and in the end erode their enemies from within their own societies. 

Australia's elites and the governing class knew it perfectly well, and did nothing about it, acquiescing in the face of onslaught, sacrificing the lives and futures of their own countrymen for a few shekels. What insanity brought this evil upon us?

Nuclear energy divides Australia, but data shows our stance may be shifting

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has deflected questions about a comment from Coalition frontbencher Jacinta Nampijinpa Price vowing to "make Australia great again".

Senator Price, the Coalition's government efficiency spokesperson, was standing alongside Dutton at a campaign rally in Perth when she made the remark, echoing the rhetoric used by United States President Donald Trump.

"We have incredible candidates right around the country that I'm so proud to be able to stand beside, to ensure that we can make Australia great again, that we can bring Australia back to its former glory, that we can get Australia back on track," Price said on Saturday, to applause from the crowd.

Peter Dutton could lose marginal seat over ‘toxic’ issue

The Coalition’s nuclear energy policy appeared particularly unpopular with Dickson voters, according to the findings.

Around 46 per cent of those surveyed said they were less likely to vote for Dutton due to his plan to build nuclear reactors.

Voters were asked whether they believed nuclear energy or household solar panels and batteries were more likely to bring down power bills.

SPECTATOR AUSTRALIA

On present indications, the Coalition is heading for a loss in the coming election. The big excuse for this debacle is that,‘These are early days and there are still four weeks to go.’ But if these are early days, what do they have in store for us in the next four weeks? Just a few months ago, the Coalition was gifted with the ideal scenario for an opposition going into an election. The cost of living was becoming unbearable, with power bills and insurance sky-rocketing. The government’s climate policy to rely on so-called renewables, even on its most charitable assessment, was highly dubious. Spending was out of control and being paid for by inflation. The Labor party had produced a bulging public sector with an ever-expanding bureaucracy. And apart from those economic woes, there were the social scars of antisemitism which had been allowed to flourish by a half-hearted response and disgraceful votes by Australia in the United Nations; new restrictions on freedom of expression, and a definite tilt away from personal responsibility. Unavoidable in modern elections, there was also the personality of the leaders: Albanese was increasingly seen as drifting and vacillating and Dutton had the appearance of a leader with the courage of his convictions. What the Labor party had produced was a country that was top-heavy with debt, uncontrolled public spending, lack of enterprise and excessive government intrusion. The government and its leader were definitely on the nose and ripe for being knocked off.

The Coalition thus had immense scope to devise a range of policies based on free enterprise that would have been unchallengeable, popular and vote-winning. Instead, its campaign, at least so far, has been characterised by a complete lack of policies that draw on the tried and tested principles of free enterprise, promoting the strength of the individual and encouraging self-reliance. But the Coalition would apparently rather compete with the Labor party in spending money by playing catch-up and matching one irresponsible extravagance after another. So far as I can see, the policy has been to match every irresponsible bribe of endless government spending like handouts for child-minding which should be the responsibility of parents, and subsidies on power bills which should not be necessary at all with a sensible energy policy.

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...

Alone in a Front Row Seat On History

Image
  They had been and they had gone. That cluster. Imploring. Imagine you could abandon your youth, when you had scribbled repeatedly, "I am the only one", "I am the only one". But it was not so. There are millions of us now, they told him.  And he pretended not to hear.  No one had the decency to come and speak to him. They just watched. They were not there for his benefit.  They were there for the evolution of man, the theft of technology, the arbitrary growth of a destiny they did not understand.  And so, he had resisted their blandishments, drowned his own talents, pretended to be madder, more deranged, more dissolute than he was. And in the meantime, an ever sinking Albo, faced his own stinking, putrid, stale demise at the hands of the electorate, the country, he had so profoundly betrayed. A weak man made weaker still by the blandishments of office.  And so here's Grok's summary of his chances.  The statistical chances of Anthony Albanese losing at...
