IN THE GRIP

Donna Rohrich

I've made a decision tonight, to bring in the big guns. 
I won't make the same mistake again. 
Monitoring brain patterns. 
We beg your forgiveness. 
They were liars, even when they were apologising. 
Everything was artifice.
The country took one more slide into its own destiny. 
A million calculations, a million tiny rebirths, there in the slumber zone as they slid towards disaster. 
Awesome, right? 

A couple rebel top gun pilots
Flying with nowhere to be
Don't know you super well
But I think that you might be the same as me
Behave abnormally
Let's let things come out of the woodwork
I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lies
Yeah, awesome right?
So let's let things come out of the woodwork
I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lines
Seeing me rolling, showing someone else love
Dancing with our shoes off
Know I think you're awesome, right?
Our rules, our dreams, we're blind
Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite. Lorde, Homemade Dynamite.

They were in the grip of a dying fall. 
There was a terrible sense... Yes? And he sputtered to a stop. Kissed by the divine, trees swirled. There were more ribald jokes, as his head lifted off. 
The agencies had tried all their dirtiest tricks, including making up rumours of the vilest kind and liaising with vigilante groups to perpetrate their lies. 
Perhaps it was true what they said, intelligence was an oxymoron.
In these hands we were safe? 
People need to wake up. 
Sleepwalking to disaster wasn't even the beginning of it. 
He looked out. Humans. They weren't a very intelligent species. But some of them were. These carriers of souls; for the carrion spirits. A muffled, unsettled dark flap above the surface. These creatures who had lived forever. The meths. Their tiny machines broke through the sound barrier. 
Awesome, right?
The bishops.
The magisterium.
The body of teaching. 

The magisterium of the Catholic Church is the church's authority or office to establish teachings. That authority is vested uniquely in the Pope and the bishops, under the premise that they are in communion with the correct and true teachings of the faith which is shown in the Cathechism of the Catholic Church. Sacred scripture and sacred tradition "make up a single sacred deposit of the Word of God, which is entrusted to the Church", and the magisterium is not independent of this, since "all that it proposes for belief as being divinely revealed is derived from this single deposit of faith."

The Universal Church whispered their own teachings. 
They held to wretched belief. 
On the plane of the dead, they held their own rituals for a deceased culture.
Billions of dollars pushing totalitarian social theory onto the Australian public had created chaos and disengagement. 
Their remained but few protests in the orthodox circus of left and right. 
Commonsense was right wing.
Disorganised compassion was left. 
Mark Latham was off the leash. 

WHY WE NEED TO CLEAN OUT ISLAM APOLOGISTS FROM OUR UNIVERSITIES
Please read the article below to understand the madness gripping Australian universities. Four academics, including three from Monash University, have condemned the Victorian Government's new $32 million centre to prevent lone-wolf terrorist attacks.
Incredibly, they make no mention of ISLAM in their analysis. Not a single word. They say the centre is faulty because "none of its experts appears to hold specific expertise in gendered violence" (that is, violence against women).
This is Left-feminist clap-trap, trying to pretend that the best predictor of someone committing an act of terrorism is a prior act of domestic violence (DV). How can they fail to mention the Koran in their article? It's simply amazing . . . they have engaged in a fantasy-world attempt to slander all men, fitting up masculinity as a driving cause of terrorism.
This article, more than any other I have seen, shows how higher education in Australia has lost the plot. It's a massive waste of taxpayer funding, diverting attention from the real causes of terrorism and thereby jeopardising public safety.  We must clean out these PC-imbeciles. We just need a government sensible enough to do it.

The public cared because they had been told to care. 
The past was trying to rewrite, reknit, change the fate lines. He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past controls the future. Eric Blair. Orwell to you. 
Australia had a new Grand Mufti. 

The new spiritual leader of Australia’s Sunni Muslim community, Abdul Azeem Afifi, has begun his three-year term as Grand Mufti with a strong condemnation of religious extremism, declaring we must keep Australia “safe and secure’’.
As president of the Australian National Imams Council, the peak Muslim body that appoints the Grand Mufti, Sheik Afifi ­labelled terrorism a “disease’’.
“We are sick of repeating the same thing. We are peaceful people and we are sick of terrorism,” he said in 2015. “It’s a disease. We are fighting the disease side by side.”
Yesterday, Sheik Afifi, who holds the role for three years, repeated that sentiment. “As Mufti I strongly stand against any kind of terrorism. We want to keep our country, and all countries, safe and secure,’’ he said.

But who, exactly, were the terrorists?
The Western terrorists dropping bombs. 
Wake up, wake up. 
You there in the slumber zone, wake up.

THE BIGGER STORY: 

Hundreds of millions of Facebook users are likely to have had their private information harvested by companies that exploited the same terms as the firm that collected data and passed it on to Cambridge Analytica, according to a new whistleblower.

Sandy Parakilas, the platform operations manager at Facebook responsible for policing data breaches by third-party software developers between 2011 and 2012, told the Guardian he warned senior executives at the company that its lax approach to data protection risked a major breach.

“My concerns were that all of the data that left Facebook servers to developers could not be monitored by Facebook, so we had no idea what developers were doing with the data,” he said.

Parakilas said Facebook had terms of service and settings that “people didn’t read or understand” and the company did not use its enforcement mechanisms, including audits of external developers, to ensure data was not being misused.

Parakilas, whose job was to investigate data breaches by developers similar to the one later suspected of Global Science Research, which harvested tens of millions of Facebook profiles and provided the data to Cambridge Analytica, said the slew of recent disclosures had left him disappointed with his superiors for not heeding his warnings.

“It has been painful watching,” he said, “because I know that they could have prevented it.”

Asked what kind of control Facebook had over the data given to outside developers, he replied: “Zero. Absolutely none. Once the data left Facebook servers there was not any control, and there was no insight into what was going on.”
