Hmmm, The squashed mini miners have been stuck for ages, the budget is coming out, the TV has been critical, and Paul Keating made an appearance on Late Line and was his usual convincing self, bowling all these other epithets into the corridors of fiscal whatsername... But he sold the bluddy bank, and airline, and too much, he sold us out more than what saved us I reckon, where are the jobs for our boys?
So it's late, the world turns, but with days running out, there's the oil scare, the gold price, the profit of doom is saying that the US dollar is worthless, the scaremongering of collapse is going on full swing, another bout of the jitters, or what? And 4 Corners has the collapse of investors money, rip offs that go unpunished, more panic spreading... It only takes the loss of confidence to take hold in the herd, the petrol price has tightened up wallets, not so many trips out to eat out, the boss will say that business has turned down, don't come in next week, the snowball has started, fear taking hold instead of against terrorism it's against competitors, and that means everyone else nowadays, so fear will drive the downturn, roll it up from a snowball into an avalanche, I see a bad moon rising...
The miners were out down in Tasmania, cept for one them, the news event was handled by the morning shows, the glamorous hosts making the most of it, and Bill Shorten got a huge coverage so everyone now knows who the next Labor Party leader is, what a way to launch his career into the public space...
Beaconsfield was the site in Tassie where the camera buggered up after chucking Uooeys to get a shot of the mine, what a coincidence...
So the interest rates were raised to stop spending and then the Toady Treasurer casts billions around to put heat back in, it's all crazy, and no strategic vision at all, no investment, no fixing up, this pack of goons running Australia are so short-sighted, it's abysmal...
I been neglecting my writing, it's past redressing, there is no stopping, no will in the public mind, they have all looked inwards, turned in and just focus on their own little worlds, individualism, there is no big picture, there is no community, cept for some silly flag waving over non issues... So there is no inspiration to fire up a rant on things, to point out those deceptions and newspeak, it's 1984 of the Far Right, funny how the worst ends of the extremes always go so far in the wrong directions, they put a genocide out on all the opposition, anyone who disagrees gets isolated and dealt with, that's their evil ethos, and they're in charge...
The trivia trail has been meandering about, just a few sporting flashes for attention, basically the cruise ship is forging ahead, aimlessly towards the death of the planet, no one cares who can do anything, the masses are marketed into crazy consumerism while the poor nations die off in genocides and the diseases... So I can't tune in to it anymore, it passes over like a revolting cloud, the consumption goes on, I heard that nearly half the Chinese have TB!
The Little Swan Song is on a farewell tour, can't say hopefully cause they have installed the Treasury Toad to be the follow on, it's abysmal, he's such a loser, like the last federal budget had a surplus of unspent taxes and instead of investing in the future he gave them back to be eaten up in consumption, the fat country, the thought of investing in Australia is just anathema to these eco rats, they are ruining everything...
A little ray of hope came over the media platforms when Al Gore popped up doing a tutorial on our Earth and how to save it and doing some perspective on the relative values where religiosity is held up as a wank as against the true purpose of saving the planet for the future... Was that a guess at his convictions, at any rate Gore was the man we should have had as leader through the last pitiful sidetrack that George Dubya-Dubya-III has taken the world down, so that we have a bloody great train wreck instead of a clean green future...
I hope Al Gore makes a run for the Presidency, the job which was stolen away by the immoral contortions of the George Dubya-Dubya-III debacle... The presidency of the Fool, and now George is being tossed over for the sake of the Mexican low wage invasion... "I've said I'm not at the stage of my life where I'm going to say never in the rest of my life will I ever think about such a thing." Hmmm, must be Texan...
