Fever dreams swirl amidst clouds of these times
the cards up in the air
their dancing vortex twisting though ecology and history
the joker’s face flashes past laughing
kings and queens try to position themselves to again land on their feet
low ranked cards posture for the high moral ground
shoehorning the virus into their pet issue
delight in other’s fearful folly
Russia and Saudis declare an oil war derailing USA shale oil boom
Conspiracy theorists are in a feeding frenzy
others remain calm and do their best to prepare
Not just the competent public service health workers
Also the malignant self-serving powers remain calm
This is not a sprint but a marathon
Victoria opens the door to fracking
I drift in a dream from the current time to long arcs of history
I read the history of the East India Company
The Anarchy
A corporation that wielded the largest military of its time
A stateless empire serving profit
Protestation in parliament hundreds of years ago that could have been today
Corporate capture of the state
Eisenhower calls it out
Military industrial complex
Linguistic capture of a concept
Deep State
I listen to a CBC podcast tracing the term through Turkey and Egypt
Into left vernacular and then repurposed by the Alt Right
A bit like the word ‘god’ it means so many different things to different people
the phrase ‘deep state’ is more likely a source of confusion than understanding
critical energy is poured into decoys
an ecology of government staffers and corporate lobbyists feeds on us all
Dick Chaney USA govt and Halliburton
Sean Drabsch NT Gov Santos and Adani
But there has been a wobble in the matrix
Where will the cards land?
New Green Deal or Govt subsidised coal mines?
Corporate handouts or Govt purchase of company shares
What will people life habits be in 12 months time?
It is not determined
The butterflies are flapping their wings
It is time to be Zen
Watch the cards
Influence where they land
Don’t complain
Act
