1 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,

7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.                                                                  

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.

9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.”

Diary Notes on the Australian Stalker

 

Imagine the scenario of a stalking victim approaching the police and giving a set of evidences for safe-keeping, - the proof of being stalked. It can contain car registration numbers of the trailing cars, meeting strange people frequently at different unlikely places etc.

Let’s say the stalkers and their accomplices access that evidence from the police through internal contacts and bribery.

What could be the next step, on procuring that evidence?

They create a mirror image of that SAME evidence given to the police.

The same car registration numbers, the same locations given in the evidences as citing similar people frequently, the co-incidence – everything the same.

BUT with an added twist.

They will bring in some others also as witnesses as having been at that so and so place and having seen the victim and the stalker at the specified time mentioned in the victim’s evidence.

The victim’s evidence is turned around as the stalker’s evidence where they actually had a relationship and were frequently meeting at all those places mentioned with eye witnesses account.

Now they have one vital component to validate.

The stalking victim’s true SIGNATURE!!

One each and every sheet of the eye witness account, they will photocopy the stalking victim’s true signature as it is from his passport, which as I mentioned they intercept through the postal inside contacts.

How perfect!

It is worth mentioning that in the history of Australia, the forefathers were hard-core Irish convicts expelled from England, once upon a time. The Irish convicts were so problematic, such a nuisance that the British just wanted them out of their mainland nation. Naturally the genes in their blood could carry similar traits. For who else will go into such an in depth surveillance and creation of counter fabricated evidences unless and until the people have the blood courage to bypass or break any law?

Transported convicts made up most of the population of Australia in its early years and so the picture of the nation's beginning is influenced by an echo of clanking chains and the shadow of a cat-o'-nine-tails.

Irish Convicts Transported to Australia

After the end of the American War of Independence, Britain had to find new territory to send its convicts. New South Wales (N.S.W) was selected as a suitable penal colony. Legislation permitting transportation from Britain to N.S.W. was passed in 1784, and the Irish Act followed in 1786.

The Irish Statute provided for "removal to some of His Majesty's plantations in America, or to such place out of Europe". Whereas the British Act did not name the destination, merely saying "beyond the sea, either within His Majesty's dominions or elsewhere outside His Majesty's Dominion's". This difference in the Acts appears to have allowed for transportation to Australia from England, to start in 1787, while there were problems with the Irish Act. Further legislation passed in 1790, designed "to render the transportation of such felons and vagabonds more easy and effectual", rectified matters.

To mark the Australian Bi-Centenary in 1988,the Taoiseach presented micro-films of the most important National Archives of Ireland's records, relating to the transportation of Irish people, to the Australian Government and the people of Australia, from the Government and people of Ireland. A computerised index to the records was prepared, and is available for use at various locations in Australia.

Peter Cunningham summed up the clothing and food provided for the convicts as follows:

" Each is allowed a pair of shoes, three shirts, two pairs of trousers,and other warm clothing on his embarkation, besides a bed, pillow, and blanket---while Bibles, Testaments, prayer-books, and psalters are distributed among the messes.

The rations are both good and abundant, three-quartes of a pound of biscuit being the daily allowance of bread,while each day the convict sits down to dinner of either beef, pork, or plum-pudding, having pea soup four times a week, and a pot of gruel every morning, with sugar and butter in it. Vinegar is issued to the messes weekly; and as soon as the ship has been three weeks at sea, each man is served with one ounce of lime juice and the same of sugar daily, to guard against scurvy: while two gallons of good spanish red wine, and one hundred and forty gallons of water are put on board for issuing to each likewise---three to four gills of wine weekly, and three quarts of water daily, being the general allowance.

During the early years of transportation to Australia, all free men were allowed to choose their servants from amongst the Convicts. Convicts were never sold or traded, as they had been in the American system….The Convicts lived in slab huts with bark roofs. Two suits of clothes were allowed each year, plus a blanket, bedding, a knife, and a pot. These were all provided by the master. In New South Wales in 1791, only three years after the Colony started, convicts made up 82% of the population.

As soon as a ship arrived, it notified the port if there were male or female convicts on board. The port authorities inspected the ship, and the convicts. The Convicts were brought up on deck, and inspected by the colonial secretary. Within a few days the Convicts were interviewed, asking about their qualifications and previous work history. The Convicts were usually assigned soon after this. The more dangerous of the prisoners were usually sent to road gangs. There was a demand for farm workers, and mechanics.

The assignment system had many critics, these people felt it was corrupt, and too severe. A convict was fortunate to fall into the hands of a good master. If he was a labourer from Ireland, he was often better clothed and fed than the poor back home. But as Governor Arthur pointed out a Convict had no freedom. Convicts who misbehaved, were taken before a magistrate, who could order them whipped, and or sent to a road gang. They were completely at the mercy of their masters, and in many cases were treated as slaves. Governor Arthur believed there were seven classes of Convict:

 

"the first and most desirable class of convict is the one holding a ticket of leave:

then the Convicts who are in assigned service;

convicts who are on the public works;

convicts who are in road parties out of chains;

convicts who are ordered to the penal settlement;

and those who are in the penal settlement in chains".

 

A ticket of leave prisoner is similar to a prisoner on probation. A man sent out for seven years was eligible for a ticket of leave after 4 years if his conduct had been good. He was allowed to work for himself, but could not move out of the district without permission. The largest of the road gangs had approximately 300 men, and were guarded by a sergeant and 12 soldiers.

One problem the authorities had was the need for an efficient police force. Usually trusted convicts were employed as policemen, as it was found that the free settlers and ex-soldiers were not as responsible as a good ex-convict.

It was stated by Peter Cunningham that

"The Irish Convicts are more happy and contented with their situation on board ship than the English, although more loth to leave their country even improved as the situation of the great body of them is by thus being removed, numbers telling me that they had never been half so well off in their lives before........ They laid particular importance to the fact of having a blanket and bed 'to my own self entirely', which seemed a novelty to them".

New South Wales alone was favoured for the reception of the Irish. It was noted by J.D.Lang that the Irish were sent almost exclusively to New South Wales. He went on to observe that no less than one-third of the total population of the colony of N.S.W. in 1837 was composed of Irish Catholics, of whom nineteen-twentieths were convicts or emancipated convicts. It must be noted that the present State of Queensland was in those early years part of New South Wales. To this day there is still a large number of people of Irish Descent in Australia, particularly in N.S.W. and Queensland.

Transported Convicts made up most of the population of Australia in its early years. As late as 1841, approximately one fifth of the population of N.S.W. was described as "bad", while twenty years previously the proportion of transported convicts had been only slightly less than described as 'free'. Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land) was even more saturated with prisoners.

The importance of the Convicts to Australia's development cannot be taken lightly. Convicts and their children numerically dominated the country from the first settlement in 1788 to the 1820's. They formed the great labour force, which laid the foundations of Australia prior to the Gold Rushes of the 1850's.

One observer noted the difference between the Convict National groups. Scottish Convicts were considered the worst and Irish the best in Van Diemen's Land and N.S.W. He thought that this was because English law was more severe for minor crimes: "A man is vanished from Scotland for a great crime, from England for a small on, and from Ireland, for hardly no crime at all."

The Irish were older than the English by about two years on the average. They included more married men, than did the English, and had been in less trouble with the police prior to transportation. They were sent to Australia for shorter periods, and had not moved from their counties of birth as often as the English.

No one who has read the report of the Devon Commission, just prior to the famine of the 1840's, could fail to agree with the statement that it was impossible to describe adequately the wretched state of the Irish Peasant. The report noted that: "In many districts their only food is the potato, their only beverage water, that a bed or a blanket is a rare luxury, and that their pig and manure heap constitute their only property."

Bigge, in his report, thought that they arrived in a healthy state..... that they were obedient 'en route', and the separation from their native land made a deep impression on their minds.

In Ireland theft of pigs and cattle was by far the most common offence. Sheep stealing in 1819 prevailed to such an extent that estates were almost laid to waste. Such are some cases of transportation caused by the theft of an animal, that the offence usually carried a life sentence. The animal thieves were often over forty years of age, but few had been in trouble with the police before.

The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland stated in 1850:

 

"It is to be observed also, that his Excellency would wish to call attention of Earl Grey particularly to the fact that the general character of the Irish convicts differs widely from that of other convicts. Their crimes for the most part are not the result of habitual profligacy and vicious contamination. They are not hardened offenders......nor are they usually found associated in gangs under experienced leaders for the commission of great and well-planned crimes. The offences of the Irish convicts are usually thefts to which they are often driven by distress."

The Reverend Samuel Marsden, a magistrate as well as a religious minister, on this occasion had not scrupled to break laws himself, including those of God, by ordering floggings to extract confessions from any suspected persons. Their distress was described by Josepf Holt, another suspected plotter, who, since he was a Protestant and a gentleman, was punished only by being forced to watch the terrific torture of his countrymen.

"There was two floggers, wrote Holt, "Richard Rice and John Jonson, the Hangman from Sidney. Rice was a left handed man, and Jonson was right-handed, so they stood at each side and I never saw two trashers in a barn moove their stroakes more handeyer than those two man killers did .... as it happened I was to leew'rd of the floggers and I protest ........ Next was tyed up paddy galvin, a young boy about twenty years. He was ordered to get 300 lashes. He got one hundred on the back and you cud see his back bone between his shoulder blades, then the doctor order him to get another hundred on his bottom. He got it, then the doctor order him to be flog on the calves of his legs. He never gave so much as whimper. They asked him where the pikes were hid, he said he did not know, and if he did he would not tell. "You may as well hang me now," he says for you will never get any musick from me". So they put him in the cart and sent him to the hospital"

Australians generally, and particularly Irish-Australians, remembered the sort of thing that was done to Paddy Galven and to thousands like him. "I'll fight but not surrender" said the anonymous, but clearly Irish-Australian Wild Colonial Boy.

At the end of transportation, the Irish remained part of the working class in both N.S.W. and Van Diemen's Land. Their skills, or lack there-of, put them at a disadvantage, for it was skilled tradesman that were in demand in the new colonies. Tradesmen could command high wages, when their sentences had expired, or when they obtained their Ticket-of-Leave. They had generally not been trained back home in Ireland for anything but farming. The Irish female convicts had similar problems. They usually worked as domestic servants in the colony. The more respectable were naturally assigned to the best positions. Although the Convicts or ex-convicts were generally confined to the working class, most found secure regular employment.

Some, or in fact quite a lot, of the Convicts were able to obtain land in the two colonies.

This trend followed, with convicts, once they obtained their freedom, taking up land grants all over N.S.W., Queensland and the other Australian States. Farming was often the means by which the Irish ex-convict made a successful career.

Irish Rebels to Australia              

This database contains details of Irish convicts who were transported to New South Wales in the period 1791 - 1825.

Rebel remnants of the 1798 and 1803 Irish Rebellions were transported to NSW during the period 1797 - 1806.

Following the demise of the 1798 and 1803 Irish Rebellions, a number of the leaders and high-risk rebels were kept either in Kilmainham gaol or in prison ships. The lucky ones were those that had been sent to North America.

Reprisals after the Rebellions caused great ill feeling throughout the troubled lands of Insurrection Ireland. The government could not contemplate releasing those martyrs of Irish freedom back to their native land.

These Rebel remnants were transported to New South Wales with the hope that none would ever return. However a few did manage to accomplish this task.

Convicts to Australia – Prison Hulks

Prior to transportation, convicts were often imprisoned in the hulks of many famous old warships which had been moored in the Thames Estuary or Plymouth Harbour. Conditions on board those floating gaols were apalling and the standards of hygiene were so poor that disease spread quickly. As mentioned in the section on English prisons, although there was a strong lobby movement regarding the living conditions on the hulks, the English government delayed building new gaols and preferred to search for new places to send her convicts instead. Many of the convicts sent to New South Wales in the early years were already disease ridden when they departed and a huge loss of life through typhoid and cholera epidemics was the result.

Charles F Campbell. (2001) The Intolerable Hulks Arizona, USA: Fenestra Books.

Poverty, which plagued England during the eighteenth Century, resulted in rampart crime. For almost a century the British Government had relied on a policy of shipping hundreds of convicted criminals each year to the North American colonies. "Out of sight, out of mind" was an apt adage for this policy. The system worked, after a fashion, until 1776 when the rebellious American colonies chose to no longer serve as a dumping ground for British convicts. Once again England had an excess of convicted "criminals," (many of them driven by hunger and desperation to committing minor offences.) What was to be done with the multitudes of unfortunate people continuing to be sentenced to transportation in the criminal courts of Great Britain?

The Intolerable Hulks provides a vivid, meticulously documented account of Great Britain's approach to solving the problem- by conversion of old merchantmen and deactivated naval vessels into prisons. These deplorable dungeons-at-anchor in the waters of southern England came to be known late in the eighteenth century as "the Hulks." They were first viewed as a "temporary expedient" but events and circumstances (including the apathy of the British government) resulted in the wretched old vessels' being used as prisons for eighty years.

Hardly less feared by the British criminal class than were the gallows, confinement on the hulks became a dreaded purgatory to be endured for months- sometimes years- by prisoners destined for eventual transport to Australia. The island continent was ripe for a melancholy sort of colonization by those people no longer wanted at home.

A history of Australia                   

 

The author expresses his concern, sadness towards the hardship faced by the Irish men and women in early Australia. Their hard work and dedication towards building the nation is admirable. Just because the author had some unpleasant “experiences” with a small group of people, it should not be wrongly interpreted that he dislikes a whole class of people or race, for at the end of the day, no matter an ordinary man or a prisoner, of any nation, all are children of the Lord.

My apologies for those who misinterpret my writings.

Coming from the signature angle. With age, the signature slowly hardens and evolves. In a passport, the true signature given is with respect to the time. Such a signature if you use in the fabricated evidences and submit before the court, there is always the question of, is it current? – the deciding factor of the current being the latest passport signature. If you say you had a relation then you cannot use the old passport signature. To prove your viewpoint, naturally the signature have to be current. The forged document with the old signature naturally comes with the hidden loop hole that there was no current relation, for the signature is old. How hard they try to cling on, to hunt, to forge documents, to prove something that is not there…Spy devices – what a help it is. You can destroy anyone from the shadows. Just fabricate the documents, use a bit of bribery where ever possible, be it the police, the postal authorities, the telecom authorities, the bank, wherever…For someone somewhere will be corrupt, no matter what the organization. The right money will get the job done. In some case, there can even be gifts, food (dinner, lunch…), or even various forms of sex (pre-paid ticket (all expenses paid) to a selected brothel to the selected sex worker, as is common in Melbourne; a business incentive; an modern act of making happy either the employees of the business or potential business customers) as extras.

Now you get a more clearer picture on snooping devices – show any thing about anyone – character assassination, drug addict, divorced, no matter what…just finish a person off…use spy devices…forge documents…you can even have combined photos of any strangers together…just have their individual snap shots…using computer techniques, you can take a single photo…to show in court…those were the photos of the happy days together…A complete frame-up…Something that will drive any innocent man or woman MAD!!

So what point in fighting such perverts…walk away?...the problem is…they hunt you up even if you walk away…Refer the scenes of the intrusive young couple in the movie “U-turn”, how they just intrude no matter what…to destroy your life…even if you take refuge in a temple, they come there also with spy devices to watch your nakedness in the temple shower and savor (There are many women, young and old, of Indian origin in Melbourne, citizens of Australia, members of the respective Indian associations like Tamil, Malayalee (Kerala) etc. who are material witnesses to this and similar covert visual monitoring scenarios done at the temple and elsewhere by the stalkers)…In the movie U-turn, refer the specific scene of where that guy takes and examines the bus ticket, and then tear it and even eats some of the ticket paper…that mental attitude…of “controlling” others with anything you want …can do anything on others…Predatory attitude…of hunting…

Sometimes the thought comes, such people who don’t know what to respect, where to go, what not to see etc…isn’t it better to kill them? BUT can you? You can only pray, by clenching your teeth, by suppressing your anger…

Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon has committed extra resources to the corruption inquiry.

Picture: Michael Clayton-Jones

 

An inquiry into corruption in the Victoria Police drug squad is set to widen after new claims of collusion between drug squad detectives and criminals.

 

Police Ombudsman Barry Perry said yesterday he would expand his own investigation into police corruption as Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon committed extra resources to the police inquiry.

 

An interim report into the inquiry's progress is believed to have recommended the laying of criminal charges against more than 25 members of the former drug squad.

 

Ms Nixon said yesterday the ethical standards department investigation, codenamed Operation Ceja, would be upgraded to include a barrister, an accountant and other police resources.

 

"I am confident Victoria Police will continue to strive to make sure we are a corruption-resistant, if not corruption-free, organisation," Ms Nixon said.

 

"The members of the current major drug investigation division are doing a fine job... under difficult circumstances."

 

The ABC Stateline program last night reported new allegations against members of the squad, including claims that a drug dealer funded one detective's gambling habit and that drugs were planted on suspects on at least six occasions.

 

Ms Nixon said the allegations had been a "continuous sore" and had damaged the reputation of Victoria Police, but she was confident the ethical standards department investigation and new guidelines would rid the force of corruption.

 

Dr Perry, who is overseeing Operation Ceja, is set to interview more people over the allegations. "The investigation to date has been a covert one," he said. "Now that it is overt the more widespread interviews of other (police) members can be commenced shortly."

 

The corruption allegations have caused chaos in the courts, with the Department of Public Prosecutions forced to suspend many drug-related prosecutions because it is feared they may be compromised by the allegations.

 

The Law Institute of Victoria yesterday called for the interim report to be made public, saying confidence in the police was at stake, as was the effectiveness of the courts. "If these allegations are true I can't recall anything quite as big," Law Institute president David Faram said.

 

If the police failed to release the results of the ethical standards department inquiry the institute would urge the government to hold a public inquiry on the matter. "Even now we don't know whether it's 25 police members under investigation or 15, or indeed whether it is 35," he said. "Any combination of corruption, police and drugs is about as bad as it gets.

 

"To think that members of our police force might have been profiting from spreading drugs throughout the community and particularly to our young people raises real concerns."

 

Mr Faram said the corruption allegations risked gridlocking the courts, tying up resources and potentially causing very serious charges against alleged drug traffickers to be dropped.

 

The assistant secretary of the Police Association, Bruce McKenzie, said it saw no need for an independent inquiry but there was a need to boost the resources of the Victoria Police internal investigation team.

 

Police Minister Andre Haermeyer said police should work to ensure the investigation did not compromise other criminal proceedings and investigations.

 

He rejected the need for a royal commission, saying any comparison between police in Victoria and NSW was "not valid".

 

"New South Wales was suffering from some very widespread endemic corruption at all echelons of the force," he said. "What we have here in Victoria is some allegations pertaining to one particular section of it."

Telstra defends eavesdropping

Wires

NOVEMBER 20, 2002 

 

TELSTRA did not tap customers' phones but had the right to listen in to conversations if people complained about a fault, the telecommunications giant said.

 

Telstra admitted the company had listened in to the phone calls of Brisbane businesswoman Ann Garms during a dispute with the company in the early 1990s, and passed the information on to lawyers.

 

But Telstra managing director of corporate and human resources Bill Scales took offence at senators asking about Telstra's phone tapping policy during an estimates committee hearing.

 

He said Telstra had only been trying to fix Mrs Garms' phone line and would do the same for any customer who complained about a fault.

 

"We don't tap people's phones," Mr Scales told the committee.

 

"We do not tap people's phones, if the inference in the word `tapping' of somebody's phone is that we have done something illegal, we do not do that.

 

"What we do ... where a customer has a complaint, and where we are required to test that line and where that requires us to log into that line to ensure that (it is working), we have strict protocols.

 

"We would do that, quite frankly, for any customer who complained to us about a fault. We would try to find the best method of determining what the nature of the fault was so we could find an appropriate fix."

 

Mr Scales said the information from listening to Mrs Garms' line had been passed on to lawyers from both sides as part of the legal process.

 

He said allegations aired on the Nine Network's Sunday program about Mrs Garms and other so-called Casualties of Telstra were slanderous and defamatory.

 

But Mr Scales said Telstra did not (not) intend to take legal action, as the company had been cleared by an Australian Communications Authority inquiry after handing over 130 boxes of documents.

A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS PRESENT – A VISIT TO A BROTHEL

 

The Melbourne companies book the local brothels for their attendants on the Christmas eve. A paid visit to a parlor house will be given to the attendants, who have done excellent job, or just as a Christmas surprise for partners. Like the Australian Herald Sun wrote, the brothels of Melbourne have tons of orders – right till the end of January. The personnel will have to work really a lot to serve the clients, delivered by different firms.

 

The choice of the managers of the Melbourne companies was not incidental. One of the managers said, a paid visit to a brothel was not much different from a soccer match ticket or a dinner in a fancy restaurant. However, the representatives of the Australian association of the family values are not happy about that idea. They claim that the companies should think twice, for such a gift may not only bring pleasure, but also the sexually transmitted illnesses.

Why do you hide?

What else can a victim do?

When they trap and use advanced spy devices, for co-incidences every where, where ever you go, to get you under all costs…you can only hide…

These co-incidences are not the normal co-incidences. Using advanced spy devices they know precisely where you are, where you are going, what you are going to do…They way-lay…waiting for you…

They don’t have anything else to do…just hunt you…trap you…

For that exclusive purpose, they wait and wait…no matter what the money, expense, time or whatever…

They do whatever they can…to fabricate their false evidences…photos…eye-witnesses…

The dark side of using spy devices…forgery…false documents…false cases…

They are NOT good. They cannot be trusted. Otherwise why should they use these advanced spy devices?

Through constant harassment, stalkers have succeeded in making themselves the focal point in the victim's life. For the victim, life can become a nightmare as the person becomes a prisoner in his or her own home.

(Reference: Stalking.)

 

Despite the legal safeguards in the US, there have been growing complaints of the misuse of such covert equipment not only by private individuals, but also by the law enforcement agencies, resulting in a violation or distortion of the rules of natural justice and particularly of the basic constitutional or legal guarantee that no person can be made to incriminate himself by using force or deceitful means.

(Reference: Raman, B. (Monday, March 19, 2001) Sting Operations. Paper no. 212. South Asia Analysis Group.)

 

incriminate

tr.v.

  1. To accuse of a crime or other wrongful act.
  2. To cause to appear guilty of a crime or fault; implicate: testimony that incriminated the defendant.

incriminate

v

  1. suggest that someone is guilty [syn: imply, inculpate]
  2. bring an accusation against; level a charge against; "He charged the man with spousal abuse" [syn: accuse, impeach, criminate]

 

Cunningness and the use of spy devices may help a person to wrongly implicate the other person. For example, follow wherever you can. Your accomplice follows trying to take photos. The stalker walks past the unsuspecting victim. The accomplice takes a quick photo. Later on this photo can be used to say, “they were together…”, with the accomplice as the eye witness.

There is an area which was not mentioned.

You are building false evidence for the court purposes.

What about your heart? The pent-up feeling of attachment, of desire, of passion that you had in the beginning, which you know, may not get satisfied…That emotion have to have an exit point somewhere…

That is where spiting comes in to the picture.

You know you will not get something. But the desire is left unsatisfied, waiting and waiting…

Finally a time come, when you forcibly indulge with your male accomplice…to feel the release…to get the satisfaction of the flesh…

A sex scenario at the cabin in late 1998 was an instance of this spiting. Not something that happened out of mistake. But something which you badly wanted, for the flesh can’t hold on …the temptation…the pent-up feeling…

The day which you carefully planned…mentally accepted the sex scenario…as what is going to happen that night at the cabin…and you went in fully prepared…

…something that male accomplice thought as a befitting present for his “selfless” services to you…to her, the holding–on was indeed worthy…for the force had its own unique taste…no matter with what man…

When we look back at the whole scenario from 1995 to 1999, we find how the human emotion move from one point to another…

Praise the Lord!

Oh…she spited…

            - The little girl

Many may find mistake on her spiting. BUT, you need to first understand that woman and her scenario of helplessness.

There is no way you can get in contact with the target. And it seems the target is avoiding and is not willing to have any dealings.

Also the concept of flesh, sex and taste. Something one need to be mature to fully understand those three words. When a man or woman understands the taste and then have a period of withholding, then the pain will be more. Something to be felt…Something to be understood properly. Then come back to the comment, “Oh!...she spited…you will then have to re-consider your initial opinion. A mature understanding on normal bodily requirements of men and women living in society.

To little children, to those who are not fully aware of the sex side, the role of ideal romanticism is brought in for judgment.

But on maturing and understanding with age, one have to face the practical realities of life. Something very different from ideal romanticism.

Society and its outlook towards daily life also play a key role.

If a very traditional society with orthodox values, then naturally the woman will be forced to find alternate ways which are moral and ethical in controlling the pent-up passion. Her family, social well-being, respect in society, the disgrace involved etc being the guiding forces.

If very modern society with open values, when there is nothing wrong in extra marital relationships, naturally the woman go with the tide.

The complaint deals with the use of spy devices for covert surveillance, computer hacking, wire-tapping, privacy violation etc. Make sure you know this very well. We are not talking about emotion, romance, past way of life or any such things. In short, in a single stroke, I am dealing with different sets of people together – both overseas and the local. And I don’t think any amount of fabrication on relationships etc can have an effect on the proceedings. Moreover there is the publication on the Indian stalking, something temporarily withheld, dealing with the local use of spy devices.

“Thou belongest to That Which Is Undying, and not merely to time alone,” murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at last. “Thou art eternal, and not merely of the vanishing flesh. The soul in man cannot be killed, cannot die. It waits, shroud-wrapped, in thy heart, as I waited, sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is One within thee, as in all men, that comes and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!
