So we pretend we can change and move on, when in fact we essentially do<br />

not change but are rooted in a circular lifecycle that sees us grow from<br />

infant through to the various stages, then face the inevitable decline. Those<br />

afflicted with an ever-growing appetite to taste ‘change’ will stay on the<br />

merry-go-round until old age throws them off, and this is despite and in<br />

spite of whatever cosmetic surgery creates an appearance of youthful vigour!<br />

Others who are more discerning will alight and find themselves much<br />

earlier in their lives and develop a worldview that sustains them throughout<br />

their life. Many national socialists embraced a healthy worldview where an<br />

organic appreciation of individual and society played a major role in making<br />

sense of the world. Materialism and atheism, as that propagated by<br />

Talmudic-Marxists fails to satisfy in the long run – hence its need to be<br />

augmented with a false consciousness of class thinking and class conflict,<br />

among other things, which is diametrically opposed by national socialists<br />

who live with nature and not against nature and its natural processes.<br />

Throughout CTC breakfast was the prisoner’s domain: only in the Cell<br />

Block and Dormitory was food supplied, and prisoners in the drug-free<br />

cottages and houses had to cook for themselves. When my urine test came<br />

back negative – as if it could have been positive! – it was my time to move<br />

out of the drug-dependent Cell Block. But I requested that I be permitted<br />

to stay in the Cell Block. It certainly meant physical lock-up time within the<br />

confines of a cell was 8.30 p.m., but it also meant lunch and dinner was<br />

provided. I am, perhaps unfortunately, not too interested in cooking for<br />

myself. Hence I delighted in receiving the food from the prison kitchen.<br />

Officers Kenny and Murray did their best to provide for the hungry, the<br />

majority of Cell Block and Dormitory inmates. One prisoner, Rocco, with<br />

typical Italian flair ensured that meals were more than just a meal. It was<br />

obvious to me that the community of officers and prisoners running the<br />

kitchen worked harmoniously, which was a surprise to me as cooks can be<br />

temperamental and flip out for whatever reason. Not so at Cadell.<br />

The menu pattern saw a Sunday lunch of roast pork or beef with baked<br />

potato, carrots or pumpkin and peas. Tea time was always cold meat –<br />

ham, chicken loaf, salami and salad alternating with potato salad. I noticed<br />

that lovely salad – tomato, lettuce – came in large trays and there was always<br />

enough for me to hoard a little extra for a nightly snack. On Sundays a<br />
