It Gives Me Great Pleasure to Announce

 



Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6.


The die is cast. In slow motion, the nation veered into the abyss.

Born on a battlefield, born in the midst of battle, requiring instant defences.

An armour, multicoloured, a sheen of shifting colours, ran up and down his flanks. 

The same intelligence agency plant who had tormented him and dragged him through the courts was following others in the Freedom movement, wreaking havoc behind the scenes, dishonest, incompetent, corrupt, of that percentage of the population, the dark quad: narcissism, Machiavellianism, sadism, and psychopathy.

Destroying Australia's narrative at taxpayer's expense. Targetting individuals in the most vicious and dishonest way. A flagrant, outright abuse of taxpayer's funds.

So it was, these rampant individuals, out of control. While the electricity ran back up the wire and destroyed the perpetrators, he struggled to remain calm, enveloped in the Earth. 

They were so dark. They were so dishonest. And they deserved to be extinguished.

Recession-hit Aussies close their wallets

The decline in consumption follows a record 8% fall in real per capita household incomes.


SPECTATOR AUSTRALIA

The rate of increase in our government debt is close to a record among advanced economies but it’s not clear just what we have to show for it. But Albo has more plans.  He has hinted several times that his legacy will be universal childcare in which everyone, poor and rich, can plonk their preschool kid in a unionised centre for a flat daily fee – say $10 per day. His feminist mates are very keen on this idea, and he is planning on delivering.

The fact that even the Productivity Commission concluded that universal childcare along these lines is not a good economic idea won’t deter him. And the figures are truly staggering, although for Albo they may be only numbers. The taxpayer is currently forking out more than $14 billion each year in childcare fee subsidies – the top up of the wages of childcare workers is additional to that figure.

“I was advised the contract that I had with the government body has been ended,” Lee told 7NEWS.

Rose said she was told that Queensland government works “closely” with the council.

“I was also wearing a lanyard, which was the government body’s property.”

“I don’t have the answer. But I don’t think that’s the answer,” she said.

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...
