Anachronism visits Australia

(but the real queen is Condy)

Two high profile women visit Oz, an anachronism and a modern evolutionary equivalent, the Queen of England, Lizzy, and the US Secretary of State, Condy. The Australian cringe faces the focus of its pathological fears of independence. India, Pakistan and numerous tiny island ex-colonial nations have become independent but to Australia’s great shame it is yet unable to assert its full independence. Instead it has played its psychosis like an octave and transposed its complex to daddy America – chunder!

As the world teeters on ‘strategic’ nuclear warfare, the Oz media entertains and distracts the public with irrelevancies. It is not in the interests of those who rule to have the reality of international nuclear conflict emphasised – there is plenty of time for that AFTER the event.

Some demonstrators jeered at the Queen outside St Andrew’s Cathedral Sydney, however, the crucial issue is America and its representative Ms C. Rice, who will spend the majority of her time briefing the Howard government on their role in the next stage of the plan (PNAC).

Howard and his government will do as they have always done, toe the US line like the good little coward cringers that they are! It has become painfully clear that the majority of Aussies ‘positively’ support Howard – not by default as they have claimed in the past.

One can only wonder at the many rumours of a (Straussian) attack during the Melbourne games, an abundant amount of semiotic evidence exists that would suggest that a ‘terrorist’ attack is a very real possibility. I would remind Howard supporters of the means with which neo-conservatives manipulate the masses and of the impending introduction of ‘strategic’ nuclear weapons in minor warfare. In view of the prospect of becoming a proxy nuclear target for the US why would anyone support the Howard government? (If citizens must die, Condy, fine – as long as its not me!)

Regardless of the outcome, the population deserves what it gets – these are truly the times of the quick and the dead.

The expression is "toe the line" NOT "tow the line".

It's not about "pulling the line" but about standing to attention with your toes on the line -- like troops in rank and file.
