Biblical. Memories from afar. Voices from a locked in future. A babble. Chaos. We entered a different realm. Differentiating out the voices was a difficult task, we come at request, we come at this time, the collapse of the West, the demonic crowd behaviour the technologies of the time allowed them to view, a heart starter, a heart stopper, a country eaten out from within and without, a cruel time, all in one, this gestalt moment, and they cried as they trudged those roads, found friendship in small things, humble moments. And he was shocked, simple as that, shocked at the collapse of old friends and old discourses, and everything aligned in some terrible moment of redress and compensence.
We came for you and you were not here.
We walked with you and you cared not to listen.

Joe Biden was in our loungerooms. The evil was extant.

“After months and months of fighting with university lawyers under Freedom of Information laws, we can finally show you the emails that prove the system has been compromised," Mr Houghton said.
“Angie Holan, who was heavily involved in censorship during the COVID-19 pandemic, personally wrote to the now disgraced fact-checkers at RMIT, saying she stood by them.
