Nothing Is As It Seems

 


They were sent packing, those liars and hypocrites, those slaves to deceit, back to Canberra where they belonged. They were a threat. They were an illusion. Their power was illusory. And they were so damn dishonest, it took your breath away, if only they did breathe, those ancient spirits which infested these sites.

Gathering like a storm. Mounted on clifftops, moving through the riverbeds. 

We were all aghast, agog, at the daily deceits visited upon us. A government which lied constantly. Their slave armies of so-called public servants; as Topher said, those armies of the government funded who thought sending two emails a day was hard work. 

While the rest of the country was bludgeoned into submission with one raft, or tranche, of laws after another made ordinary living almost impossible, essentially illegal. They could catch you on anything. And that was the point. To instil constant fear.

He was awake to the danger, he was awake to the malfeasance and ill intent, and he was awake to the good hearted who moved in to protect him at this crucial confluence of time and space, to clutch at clichés, this moment when all of history was on the turn and the muse came to assist those destined to tell the story. 

The story which would change the course of history. Even he did not know what was coming. But those strange nestling spirits, ghost dolls, hooded, pale entities, it was true what he thought, that they had disappeared from their origins long ago, become invisible to the human eye, but were not of ill intent; then again, nor were they human. 

Talent. Genius. They bloomed in this new age. While out there, the sad, stumbling, overweight, obese and mumbling genetic by-products shambled through the shopping malls, and were gone. 

For this planet was only briefly populated in this manner, before they, too, made way for another future. And it was not the future the elites were devising. It wasn't those fearsome floating cities pouring fire on hapless villagers. Nor was there comfort in the solutions.

Liberals afraid they are ‘too right wing’ despite losing voters to One Nation

06 February 2026 - 07:45PM
“The Libs and the Nats can’t seem to come to an agreement to get back together,” Mr Bond said. “National Leader David Littleproud has made it pretty clear that he doesn’t really want to work with Sussan Ley as Opposition leader. “The problem isn’t that they’re too right-wing. It’s that they don’t seem to believe in anything, and they don’t have a coherent policy platform. “Labor has lost nine per cent in the outer suburbs. Add up One Nation, the Liberals and the LNP up in Queensland, and you have 52 per cent of the primary vote.”

In short:

RBA governor Michele Bullock says government spending is not the only thing driving inflation higher.

In a parliamentary hearing, Ms Bullock has refused to blame the federal government for inflation jumping higher, saying it was not her place to comment on fiscal policy.

What's next?

The RBA lifted interest rates on Tuesday to dampen economic activity, and the governor says she is determined to get inflation back down.

AARON PATRICK: By pretending the Coalition split isn’t a political crisis, the Liberal Party Leader is insulting voters’ intelligence.

She doesn’t want to talk about the car crash.

“It is regrettable and I know that many people feel that way,” she says when you mention the wreck outside that was dropped off by a tow truck a few hours earlier. “But as leader of the household, I’m getting on with the job of developing a credible, compelling agenda. We’ve started that work.”

Bureau meteorologist Jonathon How said that after an exceptionally dry start to the year, much of the country is bracing for significant rainfall.

“As we head into the weekend, widespread rain and thunderstorms are forecast across central and southeast Australia as tropical moisture pours down from the north of the country,” Mr How said.

A man has been fatally shot by police after a woman was attacked in a terrifying home invasion on the NSW mid-north coast on Friday.

Police were called to a home in Tuncurry, about 300 kilometres north of Sydney, about 6.40am after reports a man armed with a chainsaw and knife had broken in.

Before they could get to the Heath Avenue home, they were told the 28-year-old woman had been stabbed and the man had fled in a white four-wheel drive.

Regional Australia should be alarmed by the latest long-term projections from the Centre for Population, which risk tilting the nation’s power balance further in the cities’ favour.

To recap, the Centre for Population’s 2025 Population Statement projects that the nation’s population will grow by 3,860,000 over the 11 years to 2035–36, with most (80%) of this growth to occur in the capital cities, which are projected to grow by 3,080,000.

It’s not often I scoff out-loud scrolling X in the morning, but that’s what happened when I made the mistake of stopping to listen to Jacinta Allan.

The caption hooked me.

I have to call out the Liberal Leader’s hypocrisy when I see it. If you’re a political leader turning up to Pride on one day, and cosying up to One Nation on the next, then you’re not an ally. You’re just a Liberal.

Having Liberal and National 'elders' try to fix the Coalition overlooks their role in creating the conditions that led to the fragmentation of the right in the first place.

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

  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...
