Extract from my novella “South Africa in Winter” written 30 years ago, on end time survival. Pertinent today, especial the part in italics.

“  . . .  Firstly I did not take the oath of allegiance required by the new secular authorities. In the name of harmony and the efficient functioning of all aspects of society this was mandatory on all citizens of every age, sex, state of health and background, vocationally and ethnically. It overode all religious affiliations and duties and beliefs associated with such religious organization. Its catchcry was “End wars, peace begins at home” Its message was conform but conform to what? A computer or aetheists idea of humanitarianism which correlated with conformity at all costs, a set of lies.
 Who gained out of this? No-one, everyone lost.In order to preserve peace they completely destroyed it on the inside of a human being where it counted most. But this wasn’t their main aim. Their real aim was the fulfilment of a false doctrine. This doctrine was simply that society was best served by being properly ordered and it was best ordered by completely dehumanizing it to the level of a computer program.
It started out many years beforehand with the introduction of an I.D. card for all citizens.
 Bureaucrats and politicians saw how much easier their job was becoming once they had more and more control and the process was deliberate.
At heart was the real desire to have people work for you rather than you work for them; to completely turn it around and become not the servant of the public but the served by the public.
 It was an old idea which needed only one basic human emotion, that was selfishness, to revive it but it took on a modern technological disguise. The disguise was in its simplest form “crowd control”. They used the population increase to justify under the guise of patrimony that tired old human emotion, for thats all it was, there wasn’t a real reason for it, dictatorial enslavement and servitude.
 But a servitude far more sinister, ruthless and dehumanizing than any previous dictatorship of human history.
Murder was not nice, jails were counterproductive and uneconomical. The old English tradition of banishment was re-instigated. It served a very strong psychological purpose for the whole community.
Many others had like myself been totally unaccomodating to the new regime which slipped in before anyone knew what was going on.
This was possible because a gradual conditioning had been going on for years and expert stop- gaffing of public voices of protest in the most underhand and foolproof manner had left the population powerless. Still it was possible for many to go into hiding.
The second reason for my banishment was my refusal to work. They said they could forgive the first but not the second.
 But before you jump to any conclusions let me first outline what was involved in this seemingly harmless task. Most jobs had been filled. I was unqualified. I got the jobs no-one else wanted. The sinister jobs, those that had been created specifically to serve the new state, those that had been created on false ideology, and society was permeated with it; a truck driving position, picking up waste from abortion clinics; a teller in a TAB agency, a government rip-off of human sport and recreation; a clerk in a payroll tax office, imposing heavy fines on companies which innocently made mistakes in underpaying the hugely complicated payroll tax requirement, keeping without a word, year in , year out all overpayments so that companies never suspected their mistakes; a court attendant at trials which were totally contradictory to justice and supported feminist and homosexual rights over the legitimate human rights of citizens; caretaker of human conflict resolution centres, the new term for a brothel; cab driving in an industry where the human rights of every member of the public is respected even the right to abuse cab drivers unwarrantedly without getting corrected by the driver; in factories manufacturing outrageous, blasphemous and demeaning objects of human use – for recreational purposes.
No I did not intend to work as most of society abhored this type of work any way and as there was full employment and no unemployment benefit and the interchange waiting lists were long for any decent job I was forced to take the oath of allegiance they hoped would straighten me out and mend my errant ways.
I knew of people who had escaped inland but I was not invited to join any and to do so alone meant only what I got now anyway, isolation.
 Either way it went it was the same result but preferred infinitely, this consequence to subservience to pure and to myself, undisguised perversion. It was evil and I wanted no part of it.”
