There was then, on the temple mount, the temple dogs barking the warnings that had frightened and impressed generations of primitives, those before the world transformed, the species transformed, before all was split asunder, before the ravishing, before the country called Australia destroyed itself, became the world's laughing stock, before it became a prison island, before the peasants starved to death on the roads of disaster; before all that, when the ancient technologies and ancient lifeforms merged to create a new kind of divinity.
It was an epoch changing event.
It was a different realm. A different way of seeing. A different kind of human . A different walk in The Garden of Good and Evil. A different style of caring, when the humans of old became a kind of humus to a new species, when they looked back at the humans of the pre-21st Century as they in turn had looked back on Neanderthals, as some primitive link to a future not yet born, bearing, still, traces of their DNA.
They would, or could, live side by side. There was no need for the cruelty birthed at that time. Compassion was not their forte, but there was no reason for slaughter.
Those humans of the time cared little for the animals they ate. And these ones? They cared little for the colourful histories of their ancestors.
But there was no need for cruelty.
And that was what, those blood stained history, would puzzle the historians of the future; why were they so damned cruel to each other, why did they care so little for each other.
Old Alex listened to a football coach - one of the players in the Bread and Circuses format governments of the time were foisting on the populace - declare that he didn't know any of the players who were, that most dreaded of creatures, a hatred stirred, fermented, ignited and encouraged by a morally derelict government, anti-vaxxers.
The fear mongering, the psychosis, the anxiety and derangement driven into the populace by the feeble overlords and their ridiculous, incompetent edifices, was actively turning Australians against Australians.
And those old carriers of truth, journalists, failed in their jobs, failed in their hearts, held no integrity in the face of the greatest crisis the country had ever encountered, and Old Alex, ashamed and upset by the dereliction of the profession he had once so loved, watched as they ignored all warnings, watched as foundations for new temples were built in a geo-spatial disturbance that would have them all talking, watched the betrayal of the people by the ruling elites, watched as the empire built its own destruction, and wished he cared not.
In an average day he encountered few pro-faxxers. And while their theories may or may not have been insane, The Mark of the Beast, "they're culling us", "there's bio-genetic tracers in the corporate poison", whatever they said, it was all an indication of the intense level of distrust the government was creating.
NSW, his state, was leading the way in the creation of medical apartheid, vaccine passports, and there would be plenty of trouble to come.
Plenty.
Sad they could not see their way to the light. Or to a peaceful co-existence. Or just to a fruitful, happy and productive life.
The disillusion, the anger, the disgust, the confusion, day by day it all settled well into the heart of the population.
And they would all pay dearly for the reckless power drunk insanity of their ruling classes. And cry: Why Did No One Stand Up?

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian declares she would not want to be in the same room as millions of her fellow citizens:
NSW Premier delivers ‘personal’ opinions on proximity to the unvaccinated
New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has declared she does not want to be “anywhere with someone who’s not vaccinated” during Thursday’s COVID-19 update.
“That's just my personal choice and people will make those personal choices,” she said.
It comes after Ms Berejiklian told the press on Wednesday she “wouldn’t want to be in the room with lots of people who aren’t vaccinated.”
“I certainly hope that all of our colleagues (parliamentarians) are vaccinated.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says it is in the interests of businesses to refuse entry to the unvaccinated in order to avoid any impact to their "business continuity". This comes amid the state's set date of October 18 to end lockdown and ease…
“That’s the message we’ve been sending the community. And obviously as workplaces open up, every workplace will have their policies according to what the government is indicating.
“But I just want to make this point very clear: if people want to enjoy the things we have missed such as a meal or any other issue, or any other venue, they’re going to have to be vaccinated.”
The NSW government on Thursday revealed a string of future freedoms which will apply only to fully vaccinated residents.
New freedoms will come into effect on the Monday after NSW hits its 70 per cent double dose vaccine target - which is expected to occur by the middle of October.
The premier emphasised that it is in businesses' interests to refuse entry to the unvaccinated once the state starts to reopen.

"We have to accept, especially between 70-80 per cent, that for any given time … it's in the interests of the business venue or the facility not to have an outbreak," she said.
“That's why it's in the businesses' interest to prevent that from happening, to make sure they don't allow people coming in who aren't vaccinated, because that will impact their business continuity."
Ms Berejiklian said NSW’s roadmap to freedom was deemed a “safe way” to reopen but acknowledged many in the community may not “feel safe”.
“Many people may still not feel safe at that stage, knowing that there's still a high rate of unvaccinated adults,” she said.

“It also comes down to personal choices, personal actions and activities.”
The NSW Premier said she “knows” people will accidentally transmit the virus and that was the reason unvaccinated people could not mix with the vaccinated.
It comes after the state recorded 1,405 new COVID-19 cases overnight and five deaths.
The NSW outbreak triggering the latest lockdown first emerged on June 16 after a Bondi limo driver contracted the virus after transporting an international aircrew to the Sydney airport.
Meanwhile lockdown restrictions have been eased for parts of regional NSW.

New South Wales Deputy Premier John Barilaro has announced "vast amounts of the regions" in the state will be coming out of lockdown. Mr Barilaro said these regions will include the "Mid North Coast to the North Coast to the North West, Albury to…
Hospitality, retail and gyms will reopen under tough new guidelines and gatherings in homes and public spaces will be allowed.
Deputy Premier John Barilaro warned rural communities not to take their “foot off the accelerator in relation to getting vaccinated” describing the jab as the “ultimate passport to freedom”.
He warned the people of regional NSW were not returning to a pre-lockdown environment and just one case would trigger a two-week lockdown.
“If there is an active case in your community, you will go back into lock down for a minimum of 14 days. That is the commitment we have made to (NSW) Health,” he said.
NSW Supreme Court hears mandatory COVID-19 vaccine challenges
More than 50,000 people have watched a Sydney court's live stream of cases challenging the legality of mandated COVID vaccinations for NSW workers.
Key points:
The NSW Supreme Court will hear four cases connected to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate
One case alleges Brad Hazzard breached the right to privacy
More than 50,000 people have viewed the court livestream on YouTube
Three of the four civil cases are against Health Minister Brad Hazzard and raise varying legal approaches, including constitutional arguments.
NSW has required frontline workers such as police officers and healthcare employees to be vaccinated during the ongoing Delta outbreak.
As Justice Robert Beech-Jones dealt with a directions hearing for the cases, the NSW Supreme Court heard there were common threads.
Barrister Jason Harkess, acting for the plaintiffs in one matter, revealed there would be "extensive arguments" about the interpretation of the section of the Public Health Act under which Mr Hazzard made orders.
"The presumption that the Parliament would not have intended to give the Minister the power to breach the right to bodily integrity without clear legislative authority is likely to be the primary argument advanced by all three plaintiffs," he said.
