The day was windy warm, summery, so dry, the weather is really ominous, and the blocks are tinder dry, really dead, all the grass has browned off, trees are drooping, and it's all a bit sad, especially ready to burn up... Just run for the river...
James was useless today, he did a thing on Keating being Lord Mayor, but I've lost it for Keating, he is that dreaded right wing who privatised and such...
There's been a real debate heating up on population levels, the carrying capacity, the water problems, the salinity, the clearing, the dense city style of living on the strip... I reckon all human history has proved that more people mean more trouble, I reckon all the countries should be small and self sufficient and keep to themselves... They have computer models of a selection of the variables in the society of economics, and they are modelling the future? And they seem to say what they want them to say and be able to quote things favourable to their benefactors...
But Ted Trainer, the Dark Greeny, got a run and said all the real things, and yet he pushes for Simplicity, but it's so Alternate life style... He was showing the water wheel and the recycling engineering, inventions to live with simple technologies, he's right though, in the long run... But democracy has to have a part of it, they should be able to vote properly on their standards of living, but it's all being manipulated too much...
I heard how the French President called Tony B Lair for being rude, so the more those Euros get together to more they'll have to fight about...
The unmanned CIA plane shoots a missile into a car in a desert in Yemen... And the attitude in the press is so what? These remote controlled planes fly for 24 hrs up high out of sight and can peer down and provide images of who you want to kill... Once upon a time there was a sort of decency standard that long range assassination was taboo, but now it's the big US Empire doing is out in the open saying things like, it's good to put these people out of business... The oil business I spose... Thing is, in return, I reckon the age of the sniping Fundies is now going to be the in thing...
I saw a program on SBS detailing the Genetic Engineering of Food, they had little graphics showing the cross breeding of species, Transgenics, putting animals into plants, plants into animals and fish into other things, the untested consequences filling the supermarket shelves or being shipped to the starving... Wasn't pretty...
And I've been seeing and hearing politics now, it's all rabid so we are waiting for the attack on Iraq, it's a set up, so that all these conditions for the disarming are waiting to be broken so the USA Empire attack can be done anyway... It's dreadful really....
The world is so sick now, I never thought it would get so nasty, even those snipers in the USA are being steered to a Virginian State trial where they can execute juveniles, a mission of god... I saw a cartoon of the USA Empire having a CIA Predator fire three missiles, called Judge, Jury and Executioner at the car in a foreign country, out of the blue, it's a dreadful arrogance, and then I saw a picture of George Dubbya-Dubbya-III peering through binoculars with his Generals, but the covers were over the lenses... Says it all really...
The rest of Eternity is a long time to hold your breath, but the Threats are coming in, the USA Goon Show host George Dubbya-Dubbya-III makes threats every day, so the people who don't follow the USA Empire creeds of the Holy Market, are making threats back at the West, of an unknown shadowy attack to come whenever, and be alert, and don't change your behaviour, and report anything suspicious, and be on the lookout for persons of foreign appearance, and don't take it out on Arabs in Australia but we know you will, and hold your breath...
And don't forget to bring in fascist laws to wind back on every freedom and turn the police into political torturing thugs and then feel more secure, relaxed and comfortable...
I reckon the way that the Little Big Mouthed Twit ranted on about Asians and Reffos and World Trade with the USA, and then took East Timor away, and put in a Xtian Fundie as Governor-General, and then postured about being the Deputy Dawg to George Dubbya-Dubbya-III was the catalyst for the inclusion of Australia on the Islamic Fundamentalist Hit List, and that clown Downer also, what complete idiot to have big mouthing about he was and still is... So we are another Xtian Island to be cleansed for the Islamic Fundie Empire of all the islands in the Pacific... The idea is to burn down all the xtian churches, drive out all the xtians and replace it all with an Islamic Super State... Oh god, time for a felafel...
Poor Simon, the Labor Party of Non-representative right wing swill is already tossing and turning and restless for a direction? Or some way to get into power so they can go back into real estate development privatisation mode and market capitalists for elitist shareholders... Nobody wants to vote for a Right Wing Labor Party anymore, can't they see the wood for the missing trees...
The last Folk Music Festival was so good, such a relief to get away from the WestWorld madness for a while, it was down at Major's Creek again, a compact site around the Oval and facilities blocks, with adjoining paddocks of cow pats and churches, the dry was making dust clouds, while after sundown the cold sea air would drift up the escarpment, through the camp, and you felt that Magic of Major's Creek, the nights are so good, with the big crowd this year, wandering past the Venue tents and the Kids Playgrounds and the Belly Dancing and Drummers, and the selling stalls with all sorts of things, was an excellent layout this year, if a little light on for the size of the crowd, you would have people ten deep around the outside of the Main Venue, but it was worth it...
First time I'd gone into to a church building for eons, I said I'd go if I could play with matches, actually the music in the old church buildings with the frosted glass light shows was excellent, and some tunes I've been finding out have their titles repeated in the melody lines, so I have a habit now of dreaming up some words for new songs, like one was about the Sydney Harbour Quarantine Buildings on North Head being re-developed probably by Labor Branch Stackers, so the inspiration was the eerie nature of the ghostly old buildings nowadays, so it was "Some came to live, Some came to die", hmmm, it is all about immigration...
There is a community spirit at these Music Festivals, suddenly you have all these new neighbours, so we meet and drift through camps, and pass comments, and play music, and lissen and tell, and find out, and make speeches, and then do a few whispers and compare notes, and make dates, and plan the programs, and the rest of the world disappears for a while, cause time slows down like in Terry Pratchett, who is in Australia right now, I heard him on the radio, another hero...
So, are we ever going to make peace with these Fundamentalists running things? Like with science you get to learn, but fundamentalists go on and on and on and never learn anything, cept age old prejudices, nothing new there... And they never get to vote on changing the rules, so they stultify and drop behind and rant and are easy meat for the stirrers who can whip them up to blame the decadent West, and the decadent West complies with displays of vulgar wealth and stoke the dissent...
The oil spill in Spain is another ecological disaster, the sea life smothers in this sticky muck, they say the old tanker, Prestige, will keep it's cargo frozen stiff on the seabed, or will it? Just another time bomb, and these dangerous old ships employed by big business do more terrorism than most other problem areas, but we don't wage a war on oil spills either... In fact the War on Iraq will provide a few more oil spills you'd expect... And, in their wisdom, we are going to have a trial oil shortage in June July 2003, just to get used to it is it? Get Used To It...
There's all these cults, religions all over television and the media, you see them parading about in big expensive buildings and dressed to the hilt, makes you think of the bomb concealment debacles with the Reverend Fred, he pipes up about banning the Burka... And they have this Channel 31 which is really a big long blessed commercial, it's all cult and commercials, so the world has gone back to cults again, and they're fighting, just scratch the surface and it boils up, very scary stuff, and they're all fanning the flames...
Another cult thing was the son of the richest Kerry going to Scientology? So weird to think he's trying to find a personality let alone believes in anything but the Holy Market... So is he sort of a man with no foundations? All that private education and he's floundering about and ends up in Scientology of all things, seems they do audits on you and find everything out, like the Catholics all confess to their priests? How weird, so once you pay them to make you have a better personality they then say you have to do this other additional course for more improvements, so these gullies go chasing a star, the stars do it too, Tom the Cruise missile...
And now it's uniforms again, like they have cult wardrobes, and it stems from some jealous king in history covering up his plaything slave wives, ok lets all cover up, seems so weird, and then to outwardly wear the uniform, when you're in cult wars, brings being a target into it... And there are anecdotals all the time about abuse the scarf nastiness, it's all going to escalate, and bring repercussions...
Look, I'd rather have the drug war then this one, why can't we find a better enemy to go to war on like say a War on Big Business... Oh whoops, I spose that's what they already did to the Twin Towers... Such a deterioration from the Clinton Admin, that's when it seems to have gone off the rails, when George Dubbya-Dubbya-III started preaching from the Presidency... John Pilger too was speaking in those terms, he's so good at it they hate him as well...
Oh, oh, there's a bloke with a cross and frilly things on TV waving it at me, Channel 31 is such an inspiration, I'd like to get religion banned from being proselytised at all, keep it all behind those closed church doors and don't come out, like there's only one set of laws for Australia and that's the set in the Statute Books of the Parliaments, all the other sets of old laws don't apply here... Where's my tea-towel, the other morning old Houie and I were wearing tea-towels in the kitchen, Arab fashion...
And on how you look, as well, in the cricket with the Poms versus the Aussies, it's their caps and hats and glowing advertising logos, and then the Pommy commentator goes into tirades about wearing your shirt hanging out or in depending on a collar or not, or wearing dress shoes with shorts, and then this bloke in his vision having a very long pony tail, so the Poms still go on about the uniformity of uniforms, didn't they insist on the Scottish clans all having the same tartans uniformly as against any colours you liked?
And another weirdo cult religious debacle is that Beauty Pageant in Africa? Clothing in this case is the lack of it I guess, but having a beauty parade of Burkas or Chadors? Those sheets with grills in the face, who'd wanta be a judge? And in Africa of all places, so the locals are being whipped up by someone in their churches go on a rampage and start killing one another, they have religious massacres over just about anything...
They must have voices within the groups that keep that idea going and push it, like how do you deal with these voices? Only atheists can see them all for what they are, they use some order they give with a greater authority, and bob's you're uncle, it's dangerous power that the word of god says blah, blah, blah and they do it? What dumb sods they all are, why don't they grow up for Christs sake... Oh dear my language always has to have that same invocation, god help me, damn...
And I saw that ABC Geraldine again with my hero John Ralston Saul, and that author bloke, David Malouf who I can't agree with hardly much, whatever it is he's on about, but John Ralston Saul puts it so well, he has big picture images of it, and in time frames as well, 3D, his picture of it is the most accurate of anyone I've heard... He's got them all tagged, and from outside of it all, like an observer unattached, like me...
But Geraldine is such a droob... I get the feeling she is a good catholic, I dunno, but the roadblocks are there all through her head... It's like all these ideas go in and just bounce off things in their religious heads, like a ball-bearing in a pinball machine, and then with religion they flip it out again, hmmm good image of religious thinking, a pinball machine where the idea keeps getting hit around and flipped back... Religious Pinball Cult Machines....
And there's another thing about the cults too, like this Sydney Anglican Church is all run by one family now, and the journos, even mad mike Carlton made me laugh, he had every version of a Jensen you'd hope to avoid I spose... Was it nepotism or some other word thing which was almost the same, a good way to laugh at them before they get taken seriously, cause look what happens when they do get taken seriously... I heard Archbishop Jensen on ABC radio which should be unconstitutional I reckon, and he had a supporting fundie ring in with all these strange ideas wrapped up in the words without verbs of fundies, incredible best describes it...
And another thing on the War On Us, there's this puppy dog thing, like a lapdog to the USA Empire, and being deputy sheriff John Dubbya Howard, and it's for us Aussies to be protected by Big Brother over there, who don't know we exist, like they don't know where the Pacific Ocean is let alone Iraq, but we are told the ANZUS Treaty with the USA Empire will save us, but how is going to help when a bomb goes off in the local supermarket... Like there are these warnings now to Be Alert, oh god, you are sposed to dob in who you think is suspicious... Hmmm... I think a lot of commercials will come out with the grim reaper again, I'd like all the money they spend on commercials...
It was once war on Monarchies, war on Parliaments, war on Racism, war on Communism, war on something else? War on lots of little countries with cantankerous dictators, and then the war on Drugs and now the war on Terrorism, which really means war an anyone we don't like the look of... How about a War On War?
