Welcome to Australia, a land of great natural splendor and ruggedness and drama (and news!) as well as commerce and activity in the modern age. It's where a strange story emerged regarding the Chamberlain family immersed in a horrible tragic controversy involving the disappearance of their infant daughter, with the only suspect being a wandering 'dingo' Aussie wolf-dog, a news-story that created real feelings of metaphysical danger and hell in Australia.

The story of the Chamberlains was adapted into a very celebrated modern age film called A Cry in the Dark starring the legendary American/Hollywood actress Meryl Streep. The film touched upon the themes of news fire, family anguish, Australian drama/danger, and dingo-hunts, all surrounding the 'alternative' speculation/theory that the Chamberlain parents were guilty of the bloody-murder of their infant daughter.

News circulated all over Australia, and the hunt was on to find the body of the missing Chamberlain family's infant-daughter. The suspect was only this 'dingo' Aussie wolf-dog, a roaming and hunting pack-roaming and sometimes lone-wandering Outback animal. The dingo was thought to have kidnapped and decapitated the Chamberlain infant-daughter from a campsite tent in the land of the great Outback (Australia!).

This news-story in the modern age touched many people's sensibilities about deep issues not only affecting policies towards campsite security from animals and ranger-monitors in campsites in the land of the Outback. If the Chamberlains had been guilty of the bloody-murder of their own child, the news-story and journalism would spark off intriguing debates about supervising Occult practices and evasive child-sacrifice rituals in Australia connected to new age witchcraft, and many rumors floated suggesting the Chamberlain parents were practicing Occult worshipers who sacrificed their daughter in a bizarre practice of murder. The news would alter the way Aussies conceived of responsible journalism!

You might even imagine that such a dramatic weight of news in Australia, a land of intrigue and adventure, would prompt the really pressured Chamberlain family to consider the practicality of escaping all the journalism-madness in the modern age by seeking a final escape from the dark reality of unbearable controversy --- ingestion-driven suicide! Who'd be the guardian angels of the Chamberlains, and who'd be the medicine-men/women of Australian drama/danger?

The concept of news and journalism involves circulation of information/ideas relevant to social consciousness, governance ethics, infrastructure awareness, and crime and art investments. The Washington Post is considered one very respected journalism institution in North America, and it's where we find two modern American journalists seeking to reopen the Chamberlain case in Australia.

The two journalists in the USA (Washington) are Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) and Elka Sommer (code-name: Stargirl). These two undercover reporters want to reopen the Chamberlain case through Washington Post resources and investigate if the Chamberlains were 1) real Occult child-sacrifice ritual specialists 2) victims of a dingo-attack 3) exploiters/manipulators of media/news 4) witnesses of the modern 'phenomenon' of news-media. Maybe they're all true!

AMLAN: We'll start in Melbourne (Australia) and begin to interview for views on the Chamberlain folklore.

ELKA: Right; we can circumnavigate back to the specific parties more closely involved with the Chamberlain case.

We all know that social jurisprudence and governance institution infrastructure requires much focus on the traffic and labyrinth details of human management. It's where we get ideas about national order and sanity, governance metrics/reliability, and national pride. What made Australia open to a news-story controversy about a case equally potentially linked to a neglected 'Outback animal attack' and/or an Occult child-sacrifice controversy? What's the symbolism behind national sanity that makes for news-diaries?

AMLAN: We have to consider how national consciousness constructs media imagination!

ELKA: Right; consider how the Olympics tunes our sensibilities about shared media activity.

Amlan and Elka investigated how the 'Chamberlain folklore' affected Australians' views on news/journalism/media and for that matter how the world-circulated folk-tale conflagrated after the release of the history-news adapted film A Cry in the Dark (Meryl Streep)! Did Aussies now focus on movies/media/cartoons marketed to youngsters from around the world about the 'adventure' of human disasters?

Amlan is an Algerian-American who's been studying terrorism-financing blood-diamond traffic stemming from Africa/Europe. Elka is a Belgian-American studying the impact of chemical warfare on Israeli journalism in the Middle East. They're both respected Washington Post journalists, but now they're working together on this re-examination of the iconic/symbolic Chamberlain family-case in Australia!

AMLAN: I shall use my 'Storm-Shadow' alias to conceive of Australian danger priorities.

ELKA: I'll be my Stargirl-persona; we have to reach the people through imaginations about sociocultural fantasy.

AMLAN: Right; folklore is always about fantastic news.

Amlan (Storm-Shadow) and Elka (Stargirl) decide to reopen the Chamberlain case through Washington Post resources by constructing a 'narrative news-story' featuring an avatar-narrator called Squirrel-Girl, a symbol/messenger of naturalism courage and fear! Squirrel-Girl captures the dingo-paranoia surrounding the Outback Chamberlain folk-tale in Australia as well as the 'human' imagination about ethics and self-governance in regards to the Chamberlain Occult child-sacrifice imagery circulated simultaneously by the Aussie news/journalism inspired by the Chamberlain case. Amlan (Storm-Shadow) and Elka (Stargirl) use this avatar 'Squirrel-Girl' to present a Washington Post 'diorama' about the naturalism courage and fear linked to the iconic/symbolic (and timeless!) Chamberlain folk-tale...about innocence lost in the Outback!

AMLAN: The Chamberlain story can touch-off images of a spiritual war in mythology itself.

ELKA: Sure; this is a tale of great human dilemmas and journalism hellfire.

AMLAN: It's like a great floor or war over the imagination controlled by media.

ELKA: The implications are quite Biblical, it seems.

SQUIRREL-GIRL: The virtue of human memory is in the canonization of natural love and friendship and trust.

AMLAN: We may address Virginia Woolf's allusion to the bonds between spiritualism and the hell of reality.

ELKA: Woolf talked about how everyday life experiences can be compared to the scrape and burn of war!

AMLAN: We might consider how modern journalism/media captures a 'human' focus on transcendence.

ELKA: Is news a blessing?

The two American journalists from Washington decide to visit a special Melbourne hospital where there's a psychiatric patient named Emma Kidman who's still scarred from the Chamberlain folk-tale, a news story in Australia which sent Emma on a private journalism quest but which saw her attacked by animal rights activists, rendering her permanently scarred and requiring lifelong mental care/rehabilitation.

SQUIRREL-GIRL: Man's advocacy of drama/danger is tempered by his/her investments in social welfare.

Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) and Stargirl (Elka Sommer) get masked/costumed and perform a staged media mock-heist at a Melbourne financial bank, claiming they're 'stealing' terrorism-financing blood-diamonds from a bank safe-box belonging to a reputed capitalism-baron to draw attention to how blood-diamond journalism is as dramatic for news-gossip as the Chamberlain folk-tale from the land of the Outback. Their hope is to connect journalism...with art.

AMLAN: We have to remind Aussies that the Chamberlain story is a story of treasures lost and found!

ELKA: It's really a 'human' drama of great democratic proportions.

In this new age of Coronavirus media/quarantine, the quality and fabric of news/journalism imagination touches upon civilization sensibilities about raw sensitivity to socialized dangers!

AMLAN: This 'Squirrel-Girl' Chamberlain re-examination will create new era media imagination!

ELKA: We can compare the dingo-Occult 'controversy' in the land of the Outback to mysticism-diagrams.

Maybe the victims of the Chamberlain case was not only the discovered dead/tragic infant-child but an entire nation of people suddenly made ultra-sensitive to the notion that media/news can affect the way we conceive of the 'customs' and 'contours' of natural life.
