Keep breathing
Usually the city feels tense and gritty,
all dynamics firmly cast in stone,
busyness setting the overall tone.
Navigating by and through synchronicity
I slowly lose my blindness
and regain my kindness.
From chaos to order and back,
surfing the dark side of the moon,
dismantling the narrow cocoon -
just don't trip on the track.
The city remains tense and gritty,
but I don't scream and shout -
floating in tender tensegrity,
I just breathe in and out.

A fairy tale
The corporate take over had begun centuries ago. Violence, the first pillar of government, doesn't suffice to create wealth for the vicious few to live off others. Only combined with the magic of money masses can be spellbound. 'Real' money has no power, the power of money lays in the hands of its creators.
When most people think about money, they might complain about the lack thereof. Hardly ever do they consider the illusions that make it work. The maintainers of violence, also knows as 'elected leaders of democratic nations', know better about the magical aspects of money.
Being dependent on money, leaders had to network with bankers. In exchange for the tangible illusion of monetary wealth they sold their nation's souls, the workforce of their citizens. As long as the trust in a currency exists, money is the perfect tool to accumulate the life force of entire populations, without yoke, chains and whips.
Most governments withdrew themselves from their core responsibilities like health care, education and infrastructure. Only by meme creation governments managed to justify their existence, but increased global communication made their futility more and more obvious.
Only fear managed to maintain the illusion of the need of government. The 21st century started with mass psychosis on September 11 2001, which conveniently distracted from a massive loss of money by the Department of Defense. The terror meme allowed for a systematic redistribution of resources and a erosion of the middle class in many parts of the world.
The development of technology meant that fewer people were needed to serve the useless. The trip to the moon in the late 60's had convincingly demonstrated that this planet has more than enough resources for everyone. Spreading the wealth among all was never a target for governments, tiny gifts and massive propaganda glued the myth of need of government together.
Global travel and communication enabled to dream about heaven on earth for the useless: Creating a caste of untouchables, beyond any control of the majority of inhabitants of this planet. A new world order. Global government.
Fear is again weapon of choice. Terror came first, but after eight years of chasing Immanuel Goldstein aka Osama Bin Laden, countless legal blunders and legalised torture this meme has lost a bit of its power. A healthy dose of nationalism creates latent fears against immigrants, and tolerates genocide against the few remaining indigenous people on this planet.
The next component is as invisible a danger as terrorism: Global warming. Iconfied by cute yet dying polar bears it catches the 'sustainable' oriented part of the flock. Global warming provides a 'peaceful', 'rational', even 'scientific' justification for global government. The current global strategy to deal with global warming seems odd, to say the least. A new trading scheme is prophecied to reduce carbon emissions.
Trading seems to have created inter cultural influences, the travelling salesman is probably even an older job than prostitution. Trading and sharing dominate inter-personal and inter-group inter-action. But sharing reduces the perceived need for government, so more and more memes went into the cultural landscapes propagating the commodification of life.
While the majority busied itself with selling their soul for an eclectic, commodified identity, the puppet masters invented trading schemes to accelerate the redistribution of wealth. The dot-com-bubble in the 90's could have been a warning, yet electronics and lack of national regulations for financial products brought the virtual pyramide schemes to a truly global level.
The dominant meme makers used the volatility of the 'global market' for another purpose. Fortunes could be earned in short times. The prospect of 'fast money' easily distracts thinking about the origins of money. We, the people, can trust bankers, that's why they don't need control, right?
The Global Financial Crisis meme went a bit out of control. Unlike the fear-o-meme terror it was designed to withdraw resources from the 'middle class', using national governments for immediate execution of this theft. People in Europe got fed up with the lies of their governments and their 'bail-out packages', and started protesting again.
The legal erosion of civil rights alone does not create obedience. The corporate police state needs to test out to which extent their scare tactics work out. Banning of rallies, bullying participants, detaining 'terror suspects', punishing secret service initiated thought crimes with many years of jail show a change of attitude.
No matter how well our streets are under surveillance, curfews remain the method of choice to prevent people from organising collectively. 'The flu & you' tells us explicitly to stay away from other people, the next level fear-o-meme.
And so the sky gets sprayed with flu viruses, the rainy autumn weather brings it home. With nearly 800 'victims' of the virus, the line of infection can't be traced anymore. As long as it can be summarised to a 'single' place like Melbourne an infection by contact seems probable. Using planes for delivery makes a steady incline in numbers relatively easy, the relative harmless nature of it limits the dangers of this socio-genetic experiment.
Melbourne suits perfectly to test out civic control in large urban environments. The ongoing media craze prepares the people for the curfew 'to protect them'. If authorities can pull off this stunt, if they manage to incarcerate citizens in their homes, stopping the corporate monster gets really tough.
