Notes from Nanoland
15/11/2017 10:22 pmHere in Oz, the only news is the results of the so called Same Sex Marriage Survey - a non-binding postal survey that cost a mere $122 million to conduct.
While 62% in favour is not quite Brexit, it is still not the sort of respectable 90% landslide worthy of Putin or Mugabe.
Especially amusing is that the whole thing was a sneaky tricksy scheme designed by conservative politicians to kick the SSM can down the road and hopefully avoid dealing with it forever. Well that blew up in their faces big league. And now they can’t turn around and vote against it because they will be gored to death by unicorns or sparkled by fairies if they even dream of it. But that won’t stop the Mad Monk and his twisted minions like Kevin Andrews from trying
While the rest of the country are still celebrating at the biggest party so far this century, Izzie has other plotting and scheming to do.
So it is the half way mark in Nanoland. Happy to report that the serpent is now just short of 32,000 words so well on target for reaching the magical 50,000 on time and even for the personal goal of 60,000 by the stroke of midnight on Thursday 30th November.
But not all of those words are proper story words. Found out from trial and error that when the muses are not lurking, the best way to invoke them is to simply write dribble about pretty much anything. Mind dumps along the lines of the so called Morning Pages are pretty effective. Usually after 10 to 15 minutes of that, the inner serpent realises that the Izzie means business and is then less hesitant about delivering the real goods
But still it has taken nearly two weeks before an actual story line finally took shape.
It was the good old Bohemian Gothic deck that came to the rescue. A certain evil scheming Red cardinal turned up who bears an uncanny resemblance to one Vladimir Putin even if the former is rather more modestly dressed.

That combined with a prompt from the very sick and twisted Michael Arntzen in his Inspiration Guide - Instigations concerning a serial killer who removes the tongues from his victims
Having followed the Snoops and Spooks on Twitter for the last year or so, it has not escaped this serpent’s attention that an unusual number of people who oppose one V V Putin seem to meet untimely ends in very peculiar and unnatural ways.
Strange suicides and accidents near windows. Even apparently innocent heart attacks.
All with possible sinister explanations. Still waiting for the poisoned umbrellas and hot pots of polonium tea to make appearances
I had always assumed that Alex Litvinenko was nuked for being a sneaking ratty double agent. Those folks are universally despised once they have outlived their usefulness to both parties. But the stuff coming out of the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers and especially the recent murder of a journalist in Malta implies that Litvinenko’s real crime was knowing too much about His Master’s Vices and even worse - threatening to tell.
Same with the famous Sergei Magnitsky who has turned out to be far more dangerous and disruptive in death than he ever was while alive. He was put on trial for fraud after he died. I don’t know if they dragged his corpse onto the stand or left his spot empty. I remember thinking at the time that Zombie Courts make the concept of kangaroo courts look totally tame
Of course I did not know then that his crime had been to uncover the grafting and shafting of the real mobsters.
Bill Browder then got Hillary Clinton on his case and that's when it got really personal for Putin
If you were to put all this crazy stuff into a story, folks would tell you to get real. No one would ever believe that BS. But we are now living in a reality TV show world and nothing can be too crazy or unlikely to be true. So why not have fun with it all?
So if the Devil and his Minions are hell bent on creating the conditions for the New World Order, then of course it would make sense to silence the pesky tin foil hat folks and nosy conspiracy theorists who threaten to spill the beans.
The other thing that I have noticed. Aside from Tarot cards being an especially useful device for getting into the Zone, the other almost guaranteed way to know that I have arrived is the appearances of quotes and stories from the Bible.
Some one out there has been asked to turn stones into bread (or rather the modern equivalent of turning words into $$$$) and has been offered all sorts of unearthly powers and privileges as far as the eye can see as well as wealth beyond the dreams of avarice.
All he had to do is sign the dotted line…..
Then there’s still the saga of the Golden Calfefe and the Tower of Babble.
But back in the real world, it looks more like The Writing on the Wall
