"My Conscience Is Clear": You Dolt

Mar 28, 2021

Teams retreat and shadows walk. There had been an attempt to rewrite history. He was even more suspicious than ever. They were not like him. There were few like him. You can be as big an empath as you bloody well like, these ancient algorithms, now clicking into action, were having none of it. That same clicking "sound" the bug-like vehicles settling onto the overpopulated hills and the futuristic space sport made, the same cross dimensional futures that came here for a reason, that did not want to be assayed, who needed no analysis, who were tired of the cloaking, who wanted to be free to roam on this glorious Earth.

They were there now and were gone; they came to sniff out the hypocrites and deceivers in the nearby territory, they came to clear the path. They were autonomous and linked. They were wise and were nothing but super-smart machines.

He did not want this technology draped across his every move. It required an extra level of deception, or encryption, and there was only so much to go around.

As for the nation; the Prime Minister was imperiled, hoist on his own petard, held for crimes he did not commit, rather than the ones he did. Morrison had destroyed the country, but was being sacrificed on the alter of gender politics, the baying for blood, the voices which would not, could not, ever be satisfied.

One misstep after another had led us to this place.

But the rampant robbing of the country was not what he was being held to account for.

Strange, really, that with blood in the water the media herd, the attack pack, the melodrama which barely washed through the lattices of public discourse, the eyes cast down to avoid the machines reading him, the "stop right there" flurry of cognition, the time, the time is right, and he had no compassion for wounded bulls, no sympathy for those who had betrayed their country and been very well paid to do so, no understanding of those who would fill their own coffers at the expense of working people. And no understanding at the absolute lack of public debate, the twittering animals who were already obsolete, who's own sadness and ignorance they had no comprehension of, who's finite, limited futures they could not comprehend.

And so another day. Another marina. Another scandal. And yes, another attack pack.

The entire rotting edifice wanted rid of Morrison.

The entire baying crew, not an original thought amongst the lot of them, would be assigned once again to look for anything, any whisper of a tangle of a non-story, they could fill their bulletins with on the morn.

Beige on beige. Another report. Another scandal. Another unconscious attempt to swipe away the real story; to fill the channels with picturesque boats, to make us feel good about ourselves, to give us credit where no credit was due, to follow the path of history in a noble way, to return when needed, to avenge the 'souls' of those who were about to be destroyed, to care for future generations as much as they cared for their own bank accounts.

And to back away from manufactured stories.

To tell the truth for once; in their dismal lives.

'Targeted': Parliament House investigates disruption as Nine combats cyber-attack

Nine says a cyber-attack was responsible for broadcasting technical issues that prevented two shows going to air

The Australian parliament is investigating a major technical disruption that resulted in MPs and senators losing email access over the weekend, raising fears of a widespread cyber-attack.

The Parliament House outage came as the Nine Network scrambled on Sunday to fix “technical issues” it attributed to a cyber-attack that plagued its weekend programming in Australia.

A spokesperson for the Department of Parliamentary Services – which oversees Parliament House in Canberra – said some services on DPS-issued smartphones and tablets had been disrupted and not all were back to normal.

“DPS is also working to investigate the cause of the disruption and the Australian Cyber Security Centre is providing advice as part of that process,” the spokesperson said. “DPS is working to resolve the issues and some services have been restored.”

“It’s gonna take a hundred years before they understand me!” Bob Dylan once claimed, “they” being the cohorts of fans, critics and Dylanologists who have dogged his tracks ever since Robert Zimmerman, chippy teen of Hibbing, Minnesota, became Bob Dylan, world-famous singer, songwriter, and pop’s most enduring enigma.

“That’s exactly the quote James Joyce made about Ulysses,” points out Sean Latham, professor of English at the University of Tulsa and head of the institute for Bob Dylan Studies recently established there. “Joyce said, ‘I put so many puzzles and enigmas in Ulysses it will take the scholars 100 years to solve them’.”

With the centenary of his masterwork arriving in 2022, Joyce has perhaps been proved right. Whether it will take as long to decipher Dylan’s extensive oeuvre – 600-odd songs, 39 studio albums, a novel, a memoir, one film as director, several more as actor, a half-dozen documentaries, innumerable concerts, a cache of paintings – seems doubtful given the critical and biographical weight already bearing on him as he approaches his 80th birthday on 24 May. The anniversary coincides with a burgeoning of the Dylan industry being led as much by US academia as by Dylan’s faithful following of “Bobcats”. Next month sees the publication of three major new books and one reissue: a new account of Dylan’s early life by his renowned biographer Clinton Heylin; a collection of new writing on Dylan, edited by Latham; an idiosyncratic reassessment of Dylan’s life and work from the writer Paul Morley; and a re-edited version of Robert Shelton’s 1986 biography, No Direction Home.

Scott Morrison’s approval rating plummets in latest Newspoll

Scott Morrison’s approval rating has been smashed by voters amid a backlash led by Brittany Higgins and women’s fight for justice.

Scott Morrison’s approval rating has been smashed by voters amid a backlash led by Brittany Higgins, sexual abuse survivors and women’s fight for justice.

After a fortnight that included mass marches across Australia and revelations that male Liberal staffers had “orgies” and masturbated on desks at Parliament House, an exclusive Newspoll published in The Australian has delivered voters’ shock verdict.

Voters satisfaction with the PM’s performance plunged by a stunning 7 points from 62 per cent to 55 per cent in the space of just two weeks.

Mr Morrison also suffered a four-point plunge as preferred PM. His rating now stands at 52 per cent support as the preferred prime minister.

Meanwhile, Mr Albanese rose two points as preferred PM to a modest 32 per cent.

The horror fortnight that delivered the shock results included the mass marches, claims of secret ‘orgies’ and the revelations of taxpayer funded ‘desk wankers’.

It included the PM warning the media to “be careful” and accusing NewsCorp of pursuing a HR complaint about a female being “harassed in a toilet” only to be forced into an unqualified apology when he conceded the incident he described never happened.

We are witnessing the 'shocking exploitation of the feminist cause' to 'damage' the government

Sky News host Sharri Markson says it’s been six weeks since the Brittany Higgins story broke and in that time Canberra has been “obsessed” with one issue – “attacking the prime minister over sexual harassment”. “You only have to look at the deadly coup in Myanmar to know how privileged Australia is to have saturated media coverage over an issue like this for six weeks straight,” Ms Markson said. “Now, there's no question Morrison has handled this poorly … he hasn't been able to shift the conversation. He doesn't perform well in a crisis. “It's also a problem that the two most senior women in Cabinet give virtually no media interviews. “Marise Payne and Linda Reynolds hardly ever appear in public.” Ms Markson said to “stop the bleeding,” Mr Morrison has resorted to a Cabinet reshuffle. “In my view it is deeply, deeply worrying that Christian Porter is going to lose his main job - his job as Attorney-General - because of an unproven allegation," she said.
