From: the testimonies of an enumerator: the rise of Corinth Starr the elder.
[The story so far: Corinth Starr the elder sweeps to an upset electoral victory in Southern Azania, powerhouse of the Azanian Konfederacy. Beyond the borders of the Konfederacy events conspired to give Starr the leverage she needs to enact her proposed concept of The Gender agenda…Basic Pay.]
The rise of Corinth Starr in the Azanian Konfederacy:
After nearly half a century of relative peace in the more developed parts of the world a new and insidious threat had become more and more manifest: a combination of criminal behaviour and terrorism. How to control the rising levels of these scourges while yet maintaining the peeple’s rights ethos developed during the latter part of the 20th century was a task which some described as Herculean and others as Sisyphean. These two ancient terms described respectively an almost insurmountable task and one that seemed never to end no matter what was done to deal with it.
The accession to power of the ‘Rules Ffirst’ parties in the developed world during the crisis period of the early century meant that gradually the human rights ethos became subject to a series of overriding control measures of which the Terrorism acts, passed by many governments, were the ‘thin edge of the wedge’ as they used to say although quite what that meant is still uncertain.
We have mentioned the Twin Towers incident as the first major assault by the forces of unreason: an air assault that brought down the largest building in the greatest city of the planet’s greatest empire of the time: … Firmia.
The ‘Rules Ffirsters’ of Firmia struck back, destroying the bases of the forces of unreason while the ‘Irrationals’ struck again and again randomly hoping to wear down the forces of reason through mindless terror. The sensible rationalists cowered in the face of unreason and turned their rage on the Rules Ffirsters whom they blamed for generating extremist reaction through their absurd preoccupation with orderliness and protecting what existed rather than visualising what could be.
And of course one is inevitably bound today by the outcomes of yesterday’s decisions, or, more appropriately, indecisions.
Rape: the genocidal crime.
Starr the elder’s first action on taking up her majority in Parliament was to pass a measure declaring rape to be a genocidal crime and an act of war to be dealt with as an act of war and not as a simple criminal act for which the peeple’s rights provisions of the Constitution applied.
Subsequently she passed the, now long established, “Contractual Relations Act” in support of the measure. Using the detention provisions of the Terrorism Act (passed by the previous administration using their former two thirds majority in Parliament and notwithstanding considerable public disquiet) she was able to bypass the Peeple’s Rights provisions of the Southern Azanian Constitution.
She did this by having persons, who were accused of making un-businesslike, non-professional, uninvited overtures, either overtly or covertly, to other
