Who on Earth could read about Giordano Bruno* in 2019 and draw parallels with the world today? What sort of a twisted mind could see in the world of the 1590s and the battle against conformity to a bigoted and oppressive world view the mirror to todays deceit and fear-mongering. Of the divine rights of so called conservative ‘progressive’ governments to act in our own best interests .. as they see fit. The use of fear in order to maintain…
“For me there is only the travelling on the paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge for me is to traverse its full length. And there I travel – looking, looking breathlessly.” – Castenada’s Don Juan. Unemployment, sickness & homelessness as a lifestyle choice .. it’s an interesting NeoLiberal concept – dont you think?

Sneaky Pete pulls a swifty on the ‘people of Australia’ …again. What a sad place our complacency is turning this once hopeful & fearless country into. Gone is all the progress fought so strongly for by our fathers and their fathers before them – yes mother’s you too! No wonder, another piece of ‘legislation’ that bypassed parliament. Another decree. Don’t ever forget this ignorant ex-cop who has somehow managed to get himself ‘elected’ has opinions such as, “Opinion? You don’t…
This week I had cause to contact our government. A Centrelink matter – you know the department of human resources, a question of the security of the society. Human resources. They’ve developed apps Im told, through which people, humans, can contact our government but they unfortunately always direct me back to a previous page or tune. Tune… oh my lord what tunes!
