In the garden – March #3

It’s coming along, more warm and sunshine helping everything grow. Lots of little creatures out and about in a day, there was a weevil and wolf spider too, but those pics didn’t come out so well. Exciting times for the garden.

In a line – paintings

So, I have been doing paintings still, but for the number I do, it’s amazing how many turn out completely crap! It’s wonderful how random they are they, and utterly frustrating at the same time. I think l that’s part of the appeal.

Here are three I was happy enough with to put hooks in a get on the wall.

Do You Want To Be Monitored?

This is a follow up piece to Monitoring – because I feel I need to play it out again for some, and maybe in a bit more detail.

Firstly, we know they are already monitoring us. Everything we say and do online and via the telephone is logged somewhere, programs run through data, algorithms do their thing and it gets stored in the rather large data banks they have around the world. But what is the purpose of it – it doesn’t really seem like a big thing if someone knows what you eat, where you shop, who you talk to, what you say, how you feel – does it?

All of those personal things that make up your daily and weekly routine, used to be private. If someone was tracking all those things about you, we used to call them stalkers. But because it is a corporation doing it, people seem fine with it. But what do they want to do with your data? I have heard people say “I’m not that interesting, I don’t care if they monitor me” – which I find a bit short-sighted but on the face of it, correct. They aren’t interested in you personally, at all. You are just a number, a statistic, a means to an end. They are interested in there not being individuals, one size fits all seems to what they are shooting for in the bigger picture. A formal, standard existence if you will, where there is the illusion of choice on a basic level, but everything is controlled and decided for you, like having a parent who doesn’t want you to socialise normally or have any freedom, and sure as hell don’t want you being happy. That is the type of ‘government’ we appear to have.

With the big drive to make everything digital, going cashless is a very big part of this new plan. People must realise this. The social credit system is already being used as i have said previously, we have credit ratings for loans and mortgages, bank accounts, credit cards – already excluding many people from those because of various issues that society decided deemed you ‘not good enough’. And for decades many people have continued to jump through those hoops, hoping they get approved, and not really noticing that others aren’t. A divide of opportunity has already been with us for quite some time, and people felt ‘lucky’ if they managed to work through all these systems and procedures, that they had made it. All part of the illusion I’m afraid, but it did well to separate folk. You know the ones, who look down on other family members or friends because they didn’t make the grade, or pass the exams, or get approved. Whether consciously or not, we all are brought up to believe this ‘standard of society’, to become acceptable, and ultimately gain approval and therefore be ‘allowed’ to take part in all areas of society.

That’s how it has been for decades already, with many being cast aside and labelled, left out of the main circus and kept more as a sideshow to it, and as a reason to implement ‘change’. My thoughts of where it leads are as follows once it’s all digital –

They want to stop people being able to help each other, so they will make sure you can’t buy anyone food on your account, they will make sure you can’t lend anyone money outside of your ‘unit’.

Socialising will be restricted, and even knocked back to only in designated areas where it can be fully monitored – or online, for the same. Unfortunately, many are doing that without even being asked to, only conducting their social activities online. Chose while you still can on that one.

They will monitor what you eat and decide if that is healthy enough by their standard, they will monitor what you watch and take away programs deemed not suitable. Your conversations will be monitored so they can decide whether you need re-educating to have the ‘right thoughts’. Your travel and movements will be restricted to zones you are allowed in, when they say you are allowed to. You won’t be allowed to have rights over your children, and in their vision of the future, you won’t even give birth to them, they will be grown in pods in your living room. Sounds great doesn’t it. And all of this is from their articles, plans for the world and high-profile meetings over the last few years, this is not me speculating.

If the idea is to eliminate communities as we once knew them, then destabilising towns and villages and herding people into cities works quite well, they have been doing it for a rather long time already, but in the last couple of decades it has spiralled a bit. Jobs moving out of area, moving and travelling for work was encouraged, families separated and moved apart, various social issues causing more pressures on people, families, stability.

They are not interested in joy or happiness; they are interested in productivity and commodities. And our need to have joy and happiness in our lives seems to be a thorn in their sides. So much has been imposed which is directly for holding people down and making everything just a bit shitter than before, oh but if we call if progress, then everybody just goes along with it. Well, you know what? I am sick of their version of progress, driving us all slowly into the ground and round the bend. At the whim and mercy of cold, heartless, calculated deceivers who have an ulterior motive and do not want the best for us. I find it amusing that some appear to be afraid of something because they are told to be, but are not seeing the ugly truth of what it is they should be afraid of. And currently, it really does appear that it is the people in charge who are our greatest threat.

Trying to ‘unite the world’ under the guise of a pandemic so far hasn’t worked, so they will either try again using the same method but tweaked, or go for a whole new plan. It’s anyone’s guess what that might be. But if ever there was a time to speak, to pick a side and stand firmly for what you believe to be right, it is now. Because soon it may be that there won’t be anything to stand for, as they will have you living on your knees…

There’s Nothing Great About It

It seems the current situation has indeed been misnamed. And I am loathe to use the term, but need to for the purpose of this article. The Great Reset (nicely renamed The Great Resist, which is a much better vision), but the reset, seems to be for the benefit of a few under the guise of ‘for your safety’ and ‘for the greater good’ – two sayings which should not be trusted at all. You should understand personally for your safety and should also know when it’s for the greater good yourself, not because someone else has decided it. Because it is their idea of good they are working towards, there is no collective greater good currently. It would require enough living space, freedom and advancement emotionally from a great number of people for us to achieve a greater good. So I don’t focus on that now, there is no time, and it’s just as much of an illusion as everything else.

Back to the word great. Because it has been so firmly affixed to a plan as named above, I gave it thought. Was it just to try and be grandiose and claim its great in advance, thereby trying to create said greatness by invoking it? Or is it a calling card, a trail and marker? I decided to cover others and speculate on the significance. Why were certain things named as such for a purpose, rather than for what they were? Once you see the list, you might work out where this is going.

The Great Fire of London – 1666 (oh look, a bit of symbolism there with the date), but anyway, a rather convenient fire it turns out for a London reset it seems.

The Great Depression – 1929 – 1933 officially as the worst bit (again a special number), but says it went through to the late 30’s. This seems to have been another financial reset and displacement of people.

The Great Flood – A bit further back, and no specific date on this one as it is a biblical reference, and funnily enough, throughout most ancient civilisations and legends around the world. They all have a ‘flood story’. So make of that what you will, but as we have referenced it as Great, I suspect it is relevant. And if you subscribe to the crater theory, then you may understand why it’s important.

The Great Plague – 1665-1666 (There it is again) – seems like London was having a crappy time of it back then, just before the fire neatly sorted out loads of issues, they had a plague outbreak as well. You would think the larger, previous outbreak would have been named as such, but no, they went with the last and smallest outbreak being named The Great Plague of London.

Great Britain – apparently termed in 1603 by King James I of England (you know, the one who declared witchcraft and burned all those ‘witches’), it makes me wonder why this place is named as such. Because we are a very small island to have been a huge ‘great’ empire, so I have questions on that.

The Great Famine (1845-1852) Nothing great about it at all, but they cleared out lots of people, starved lots more and obviously got what they wanted from that. Like people say, if you control the food, you control the people. On the face of it growing up, I believed it was a potato problem and people either left or starved. I hadn’t realised it was more complex and that the crown continued to have food sent out of Ireland over the mainland, thereby ensuring they starved. If history and current events teach you anything that you understand and know to be real, is that people and authority can be unbelievably cruel.

I’ll keep thinking on these as they are a work in progress, and may be just another part of history that in fact is exactly as they say, and there is nothing to see here. But maybe not…

It’s even stranger… (poetry)

It’s even stranger

Than we could have feared

Like a hurtling train

That’s not being steered

It’s just so plain

And obviously clear

They want us all

Living in fear

Manufactured

And manipulated

A ridiculous set up

They’ve now created

That we are allowing

And watching unfold

When now is the time

We need to be bold

Just how much longer

Do we follow their lead

Pretending we have to

Instead of this need

To throw it all down

Enough has been done

They’ve got to admit

They had a good run

But who in our history

When proved they have lied

Did ever be graceful

And just step aside

~

Nobody
