Ghost Wolves Circle the Encampment


 


Here, then, on this mortal plain, we all make mistakes, and here, then, as the wise rose up and the networks meshed, and he became bewildered by the constant ache, and good times ran amok, and parasites ate through all the surfaces, and misfortune coated their every path; then again, the sun rose, the days turned into centuries, he regretted his mistakes, and moved on.

It was all a terrible circumstance.

Why, exactly, were they destroying the country so deliberately? From a poverty stricken and happenstance place, where the population had been turned into wage slaves and the evils of those who would rewrite history, and rewrite the nation, were fully in play. And a weak political class, in secret a secret government ruled them all. And created chaos. 

For, as the old saying went, chaos creates opportunity. The ruins at the edge of the village. The dark roads that led out across the plains, into a night without end. The country that could have been salvaged, but nobody dared.

Australia Day came and went. A day, now populated with controversy, a country curdled with its own dislike, the evils of the early colonial period now the only thing the left, and the barracking children and the adolescent fervour and the middle class tempest; all of it now led out from that place, into that dark and starless night. 

That was it. We had been betrayed. All of us had been betrayed. The people whose fortunes were stripped, who thought their own misfortunes were happenstance rather than design, the peculiarities of it all, he came, he went, he suffered in a peculiar silence, he made as if to go forward and his head swirled with sullen images, well, well, why had you cared so much? How did any of it make any sense?

Potential explosive device thrown into crowd at Perth Invasion Day rally, police say

A man has been charged after he was arrested at a March for Australia anti-immigration rally in Sydney for alleged hate speech, while at a rally in Melbourne police are investigating an incident of racial abuse where a man allegedly performed a Nazi salute.

Similar anti-immigration events have been held across Australia in major cities, with crowds ranging from a few dozen in some cities to hundreds in others.

It is the third round of rallies under the March for Australia banner, with events in August and October last year attracting thousands of people who called for an end to so-called mass immigration.

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...

Sensory Deprivation

Image
  Under attack from some of the most corrupt elements within the Australian government, or that's how it felt, he had no idea how to deal with the torment being inflicted upon him. They were dishonest. They were liars. They had gained advantage through their lying. They had been tormenting him for three years now. It had begun at exactly the same time as his mother was dying a sad sad death made worse by the Australian government's endless Covid restrictions.  And it continued to this very day, chasing him across Asia. It was his 73rd birthday. And they were determined to destroy even that. Cloak yourself in armour. Be strong. Be brave. Let the storm pass over you.  How was it that these things could be allowed? How was it that this dishonesty ran rampant through the system? Surrounded by the buzz of an Asian city, he ran into an old acquaintance, Robyn, who had been stranded in Australia for three years during the Covid era. And that's what he said about Australia, it wa...
