III

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
