III - Buried Inside

In the given process, sabotage is a necessary resolve — a determined line of

defence

In the given context, obstruction is a necessary control — a vested right to

exclusion

Sanctioned, stamped and filed on the hallowed grounds of fiscal security:

the front line which fortunes all depend

From the courtiers in the halls of Versailles

To the grab-mongers who warmed the seats in Uruguay

The message is clear: these promises will never eventuate

Armed with trace-chain and pack-saddle on a roughshod crusade to capture

To enclose, to clog arteries and fill silos

Because the last frame broken is the first scrap claimed

Scarcity is woven into law.

Values frozen into code

We are delivered, reduced to the sum of all variables, aggregated,

correlated and collapsed as so much data

Sorted as targets and prospects through the means and metaphors of war:

by design, by disinvestement, by self-eviction — a quiet withdrawal

Marked and managed with GIS precision

Take the knight, leave the pawn

Geodemographic solutions for predictive indexing

Bold jargon, kind euphemism for the consigned spaces to live out our days

Running our heads against walls of words, against apologists for hype,

against regimes without borders, and the rest follows from it

Manoeuvres of restriction, delay, and hindrance have a large share in the

ordinary conduct of business

In the given process, sabotage is a necessary resolve — a determined line of

defence

In the given context, obstruction is a necessary control — a vested right to

exclusion

Sanctioned, stamped and filed on the hallowed grounds of fiscal security:

the front line which fortunes all depend
