Worms & Eels & Monsters

 


Australia was now a very dishonest country. The media lied, of course, the judiciary lied, of course, and the politicians lied ceaselessly. 

That was the way of it now. They had all been indoctrinated to rise up, hypnotised through their computers and phones and through the mainstream media, told what to do, where to do it, but most of all, what to think.

Gang stalking, mob thinking, the mentality of the pack, it was now everywhere. Dark, and darkness to come.

He would be glad to hit the road. He wanted out. He wanted away from the liars and the egregious, stinking bureaucratic bullshit, the hideous dishonest narratives of net zero and gender disparity. He couldn't think of a single solitary thing the Labor government had done which was of any good for the country whatsoever.

But they had just been re-elected in a landslide. 

And God forbid you should disagree with the pack. You would be under attack.  

And the spinning discs from another civilisation altogether, I hear the weather is fine at this time of year in Alpha Centauri, would go out to slash his enemies. And the Watchers on the Watch, unfortunately for them they could not be trusted.

‘Go big and bold’: Sussan Ley urged to tackle Australia’s immigration ‘crisis’

“If Liberal Leader Sussan Ley wants a head start on policy to differentiate from Labor and actually make a difference in this country, immigration is it,” Ms De Giorgio said.

“The time has come to go big and bold.

“It is not racist to have an open and frank discussion about the number of people we are bringing here because we need to prioritise Australians.”

Ben Roberts-Smith loses appeal bid to overturn defamation case loss, signals High Court challenge


The full court of the Federal Court in Sydney has dismissed Australian special forces veteran Ben Robert Smith's appeal to have a multi-million-dollar defamation loss overturned. 

Mr Roberts-Smith sued in 2023 over a series of articles published five years earlier about allegations of war crimes in Afghanistan, bullying and domestic violence against a woman in Canberra.

In late March, his lawyers began an eleventh-hour bid to add a further ground of appeal by arguing there was a miscarriage of justice in the original trial.

The Liberal Party seems willing to walk all the way off the cliff into electoral irrelevancy

Winners have parties. Losers have meetings. And there have been a lot of meetings in Canberra this week.

If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, than we are in for another rough three years.

MACRO BUSINESS

Australia has too many cafes, and many will need to close down.

According to IBIS World, over 27,000 cafes and coffee shops operate in Australia. Competition is fierce, with multiple cafes often operating at the same locations. And there isn’t enough consumer demand to sustain them.

Australian households are caught in a cost-of-living crisis. Real per capita household disposable incomes have suffered their largest decline on record, falling 8% since mid-2022.

SPECTATOR AUSTRALIA

‘If the fool would persist in his folly, he would become wise,’ wrote William Blake in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. It’s one of his ‘Proverbs of Hell’, and it seems apt, considering the belated getting of wisdom dawning on Australian businesses driven by Labor and the zeitgeist to persist in the folly of net-zero renewable schemes.

Andrew Forrest’s Fortescue, Australia’s loudest green hydrogen evangelist, laid off another 90 staff from its hydrogen division on Tuesday, 14 May. The company still insists green hydrogen is ‘the fuel of the future’; it’s just not the fuel of the present.

One assumes Fortescue reached this conclusion once Albanese’s subsidies were no longer enough to make wasting money profitable.

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...
