ALL THEIR CONNIVING A LECHEROUS DUST

Lloyd Rees

The agencies had been dripping poison through the culture for decades. 
Conformist, smothering, militaristic, incomprehensibly bureaucratic and hierarchical, deadly to all who stood in their way. 
They ruined careers. They ruined individuals. And they sucked ever greater and greater funds off a public who had no idea what they actually did. 
Accountable to no one but a passing parade of political incompetents, they had grown outlandish on the vine. 
And so it was we reach today.
The Abbott and Turnbull governments had mounted the worst assault on freedom of speech in the nation's history. 
And in the desultory waves of free-to-air television, bland out and propaganda, left and right, all government funded, all funded by people working in factories, driving trucks, serving behind counters in one of the most heavily taxed and incompetently managed societies on earth.
Billions squandered. 
A new story of loss, chaos and mismanagement every day as vast sums bled into the ether.  
"The Director's not going to like that one."
As we all lived in fear of a non-elected, lazy, grotesquely overpaid bureaucrat. 
They were ruled by intellectual dwarfs. 
Every moment of their lives recorded. 
While the bastardry of those behind the lens went unpunished.
Old Alex stared out across a diminished lake.  
The Table of Knowledge descended into tradies showing each other pornographic pictures on their smart phones and laughing their guts out. 
"On that high note," Old Alex said, and left, unnoticed. 
Everywhere, alternate voices were being shut down. 
A trained operative. 
A cause for concern. 
A desperate battle to control things which could not be controlled. 
Humans. It suited the military minded men and the herds of useful fools to have a compliant population. 
They had marched for the right. They had infiltrated everywhere in the hunt to root out "subversion"; a concept so loose it had allowed them to run amuck. 
Now they hunted for the Deep State. And the Deep State was Deeply Left. Stocked to the rafters with people who had not had an original thought since they left university. 
Education is Indoctrination. The Turnbull Oligarchy mounted their War on the Poor. 
They bred the seeds of revolution. 
The previous year Ayaan Hirsi Ali had been forced to cancel her Australian trip out of security concerns. No one in government spoke out, or claimed Australia was a safe and welcoming country. 
The drip of poison, the refusal to hear alternative views outside those held by the Deep State, the Deep State of Useful Fools, was well in place in The Great Southern Land, just as it was throughout the English speaking world.

Lauren Southern, formerly of The Rebel and a Canadian subject of the Queen, has just been denied entry to the UK by Home Secretary Amber Rudd on the grounds that she represents "a threat to the fundamental interests of society and to the public policy of the United Kingdom".
Those are not legal concepts in a free society: they're all-purpose control mechanisms. A government that's entirely incompetent when it comes to keeping out people who want to bomb and stab and decapitate you is suddenly "the most competent Border Force in the world" when it comes to keeping out people who talk and interview and argue - people whose only weapons are words. This will not end well for English liberties.
Appeasement is evil and corrupting. And so officialdom, so useless in restraining those who would destroy us, grows ever more comfortable in shutting down freedom of expression, freedom of movement and freedom of association in the doomed cause of maintaining social tranquility. Mark Steyn, Speakers Corner, 12 March, 2018.

They would be dead before the final price was paid, the perpetrators of this debacle. All their conniving a lecherous dust; seeping through bones to a formidable presence. For what they wanted most was wealth, power, to be able to trammel over the top of everybody else. To have all eyes turned in admiration, or was it awe.  So clever. So handsome. So rich.
The truth was, they were a pack of scum.
The janitor saw more than the Lord of the Manor.
And Australia was now ruled by the maladjusted, the conniving, the self-serving. Those without empathy for the janitor. Devoid of disgust for their own actions.
There would be hell to pay.

THE BIGGER STORY: 

Physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76, his family has said.

Key points:
Stephen Hawking was dubbed one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Albert Einstein
He was given only two years to live when he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 1963
Professor Hawking's worked ranged from the origins of the universe, through to the prospect of time travel



He died peacefully at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of this morning (local time), according to a statement from his family.

"His family have kindly requested that they be given the time and privacy to mourn his passing, but they would like to thank everyone who has been

by Professor Hawking's side — and supported him — throughout his life," the statement said.

Professor Hawking, who was dubbed one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Albert Einstein, died on what would have been Einstein's 139th birthday.

Professor Hawking's children Lucy, Robert and Tim said they were deeply saddened by their father's passing.


"He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humour inspired people across the world," they said.

"He once said, 'it would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love'. We will miss him forever."

The University of Cambridge will be opening a book of condolence at Gonville and Caius College for those wishing to pay tribute to his life.
