Deeply Corrupt: Why Bother To Lie???

 


The price of telling the truth, in the end that was what it was all about. It was truly despicable what had happened in Australia during the Covid era, and the social and economic fiascos which had occurred since, impacting on so many people.

But many wanted to just move on, like blind moles shunting through the dirt. It was over. They were gone. This was a new day. 

Well no it wasn't. The damage was done. Many were wounded. If anyone believed the government they needed their head read. 

And this discourse, this blind shunting for the truth, without artifice, without design, without illusion that this government worked or the judicial system worked or the welfare system worked, or whatever, the creeping totalitarianism that was now Australia lit large. Huge numbers of people dependent on the government for survival. Step one to disaster. 

So it went, these creeping crawling critics and the go along to get along types. And the majority who just got up and went to work.

And the gods or spirits or future entities who looked for his eyes and were surprised, it seemed, by just how stupid people were. How unsophisticated. Well, just plain stupid.

And they once considered this race noble? Where did that come from? Certainly not here. They argued, they spat, and they went to work. And they reasoned not about the injustices that rained down upon them all, the slave class.

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has pointed to "many" reasons as why her Liberal leadership bid with shadow treasurer Angus Taylor failed.

Sussan Ley was instead elected as the first female leader of the federal Liberal Party after defeating rival candidate Mr Taylor in a tight contest, winning 29 votes to 25.

Ms Ley won the ballot on Tuesday morning after stepping up from deputy leader when former leader Peter Dutton was ousted from the parliament.

Senator Price joined Mr Taylor in the leadership bid just days after announcing her decision to ditch the Nationals for the Liberal party room.

Chosen on Tuesday as the first woman to lead the federal parliamentary Liberal Party, Sussan Ley is assured of a place in history as breaker of the party's "glass ceiling".

But politics has its own traditions, so another phrase may fit better: the "glass casing".

When her portrait is hung on the party room wall, framed in glass, it will stand out at the end of a long line of distinguished Liberal men, stretching from Menzies to Dutton.

United States President Donald Trump touched down in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, kicking off a four-day tour of the Middle East where he will focus on a series of lucrative economic deals, as well as trying to end the war in Gaza.

While visiting the capital, Riyadh, Trump will attend a series of events with Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Shortly after landing, Trump punched the air when he caught sight of bin Salman, also known as MbS, before the two shook hands.

He is expected to speak at a US-Saudi investment forum in front of leaders from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, before sitting down for dinner with the crown prince.

“We have to have a Liberal Party that respects modern Australia, that reflects modern Australia, and that represents modern Australia,” she said.

“And we have to meet the people where they are. And that’s what I am committed to doing and what I am determined to do.

“I want to do things differently, and we have to have a fresh approach.”

SPECTATOR AUSTRALIA

Over the weekend, I made a prediction that we would be looking at a Sussan Ley, Tim Wilson, David Littleproud moderate trinity.

This would allow the Coalition to wander away from the election feeling victorious and merrily trip over bits of Adam Bandt and Zoe Daniel on their way into Parliament.

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...
