Being Real

Pinocchio.

I hadn’t given this much thought at all to be honest, only to review the memory I had of when it went weird in the Theme Park and they all turned into donkeys. As a child it didn’t seem weird that there were nefarious characters luring children with fun, promises and sweets, but there is a dark twist. I read fairy tales, watched Oliver Twist, and knew about child labour (all from a very Victorian perspective, of course). But the subject has come up now and again in conversations, about how it’s all there to give you a warning, or a heads up that is what is around you.

But while writing my previous article, A train of thought, I had a deviation while entertaining a side thought, which funnily enough I did not pursue, but it led me to this one. While thinking of islands as hubs of ‘movement’, like Ellis Island, and Coney Island, even the UK, i thought of the island in Pinocchio, Pleasure Island. Turns out it has various names, and in the original story it was called the Land of Toys, being a place

That is disguised as a haven of freedom and anarchy for boys and occasionally girls, but is eventually discovered to be far more sinister.

Tricked with promises of freedom and fun, with games and vices galore. And that sinister purpose? Well, to turn them into Donkeys, it would seem to be sold. I lingered on that, wondering on it. Donkeys. It is said, “In Italian culture, the donkey is symbolic of ignorance, stupidity, goofiness and labor”. Which is odd to me as I thought they were hardworking, loyal and friendly, but what do I know. In the ancient Greek ideals however, they were seen as stupid still, and stubborn (as a mule I guess), but also as servile, and used them to represent the lower classes. So, if we now look at it that way, that they were luring young children away to a place where they could infect them with this disease called ‘donkey fever’, turning them into docile slaves, to them be sold off to other towns and cities. Seems a bit different in my mind, and a strange parallel to other stories, like the orphan trains maybe, or the pied piper. They say the film was to try and teach loyalty, and morals, but looks like a much darker reveal when viewed differently. More about a method perhaps, and showing how they transformed some into the perfect drone slaves, in two ways. Firstly, by what they showed as their way to do it on large numbers, and secondly by convincing children of a moral standard introduced by very unsavoury characters in the real world, on an individual level to the child watching it. They lure children in with films, and program the moral code they would like to see. Think of all the sitcoms, and family series they had at one time, absolutely packed full of life events, and dilemmas, and morals.

Also, I wonder if him being wooden and different, constantly on a quest to be ‘real’ is another reveal. Of having to adapt to be part of their world and always try and keep up and fit it, to be ‘real’ by their standard, not ours. Not sure, bit of another side thought there. But he has a ‘creator’ and a ‘parental figure’ that he has to keep happy too, showing you will succumb to the perils of corruption if you aren’t wholesome and doing as you are told. Because the thing is, they can’t destabilise what you are and how you think, unless they knew those two things about you. So, is it just possible that so many people are so malleable because they have been created through generations. And when you stand so firmly by your beliefs, against a new breed of ideals, you have to ask, where did those beliefs come from in the first place? Were they yours from deep down? Or where they steered in that direction by way of clever tactics, marketing, education and timing. It may well be that as people, we have already been thoroughly corrupted, and there is no longer an original to understand what we were meant to be like. Only the version we have now become after a long time of tampering and manipulation. Well see where that ends up, but like Pinocchio, it seems that people are being treated like little wooden puppets, that couldn’t possibly understand anything, and are there for the entertainment of others. On a quest to be accepted by their standard, and elevated to ‘human’ status, but coming to realise they actually see you as walking firewood, and are ready to throw you on the bonfire at any moment…

A Train Of Thought

I watched a very strange YouTube vid yesterday called repopulation postcards, showcasing a set of postcards from late 1800’s and early 1900’s, with superimposed effects but an odd theme. Babies being harvested I guess is the best way to put it, sort of showing that they have been grown in cabbage patches, or scooped out of the water with buckets, or floated on small boats. I’ll link the vid at the bottom so you can see for yourself, but it made me think of a few things (as does happen).

Cabbage patch dolls (they are mentioned in the vid) and hearing some people were told they came from a cabbage patch. I just thought it was a funny thing to say when you didn’t want to answer the question ‘where do babies come from’, and it could well be. But when the vid explained a little more into the history of those dolls and idea, it gets a bit weird, and there is a lawsuit. In the 80’s some guy ‘invented’ the dolls, sold them, became a millionaire. Turns out, he stole the idea, and made millions. More on that here – Cabbage Patch Scandal

When you read how huge the whole thing was in the 1980’s it has all the hallmarks of a created fad, as all of them were, but my article on The first fad goes into that a little more if interested in the marketing side of it to whip up a frenzy in people.

But the whole back story they created for this fad is a weird one, although quite a delightful little adventure on the face of it, of a daydreaming boy in the mountains in Georgia USA, whose attention is caught by a rabbit/bee hybrid. He follows it into a cave. (No parallels at all there to Alice in Wonderland hey? Although I believe that is a cover story too). They come out into another place, where there happens to be lots of babies and small children being grown in cabbage patches by way of a magic crystal power sprinkled on them, and they expect to have homes found for them. I know, like I said, weird. Here’s the full short story if you are interested – The legend of the Cabbage Patch. But a few things sprung to mind from that, firstly was the crystal cave found in Mexico, probably not relevant but thought of anyway. Secondly was just word association, I suddenly thought of the Caucasus Mountains, as it’s rumoured that ‘Caucasians’ came out of those mountains. But they aren’t in USA I thought, but turns out they are in Georgia, on the border of Europe and Asia. Again, maybe nothing. Another little thought was also of those two green children being found in Cornwall apparently hundreds of years ago, said to have emerged from a cave.

Growing babies – There has also been talk of growing babies recently, trying to get people to imagine a life from conception to birth with no ‘interference’ from the ‘carrier’. Meaning they can be monitored and their development tinkered with along the way. My article Pod life goes into that briefly, but I suggest you read Brave New World if you haven’t, for an extra idea of what they might hope to do.

Back to the previous possible ‘growth phase’ though, with lots of representations on those postcards of water, buckets, and like they are being shipped somewhere. Made me think of that age old story of Moses being placed in reeds and floating down the Nile. Not unlike another storyline of a recent film, Willow. An evil ruler, death to a new born who can bring them down, baby put on water to float in reeds… a great film, but not a new story, obviously.

Orphan trains / asylums / Incubators – A rather odd and in my mind, dark part of known and documented history, but is out of place for anything normal. Unless things aren’t as they say, of course. I mention it briefly in my article Just passing through, but will put the important info here again –

“The Orphan Train Movement was a supervised welfare program that transported children from crowded Eastern cities of the United States to foster homes located largely in rural areas of the Midwest. The orphan trains operated between 1854 and 1929, relocating about 200,000 children.”

Why really would they just ship children away from the Eastern cities, to foster parents in in the Midwest, really? And the parents just happily handed their kids over to be sent somewhere to ease ‘overcrowding’. In the real world, you would expect families to relocate, together if there was so much space and resources that families could take on extra children and feed them, school them etc. Or maybe that’s why so many asylums were needed around that time too, maybe that’s where the parents got taken so the children could be shipped off? So many questions on that. But a convenient cover for why you might have had train loads of children being moved around. Did they have families at all, or were they to be part of the ‘new breed’, populating towns and cities all over with a story of fostering, or of being orphaned, knowing no different themselves. And the incubator babies also mentioned in the vid and I have heard about before, could also be a way to get babies being bred somewhere else into plain view, and into the system. They say it came about because they needed to up the birth rate in France as it was in decline due to there being the Franco-Prussian war and a famine between 1870-1871. Sounds like a big declaration, based on only a couple of years but maybe there’s more to it. Either way, a Frenchman had an idea based on keeping poultry warm, asked the local hospital to borrow a couple of premature babies so he could take them to a circus and show off his invention. They said yes…and the rest is history as they say, with him ending up as a display in would you believe it, Coney Island. Where you would have a high volume of people and children passing through I am sure, a first port perhaps before the processing centre of Ellis Island.

But what if you found something, like a cave or tunnel to somewhere else, where they created people in this way, could that have been the original way to spawn people? Like they say in Superman (the new ones), where they are grown for specific purpose, eliminating being able to reproduce naturally. But what if what we know as natural now, wasn’t how it started there – what if it was ordered and each one grown to specification, but maybe they redesigned it, us, to be able to self-reproduce – to save the species. And what if after being saved and going the natural way for a certain amount of time, some people decided to reverse that. To undo the process of self-replication, and go back to the use of a cloning process. Maybe that is why we were made in someone’s image, possibly it’s meant literally. Who can say for sure, and it may sound ridiculous but I suspect I will be giving this more thought…

Something New, But Maybe Not Improved

I have already written about the idea of us being manipulated and turned into something else in Changing into what exactly?, but I shall do another one here further to a comment I have read on Twitter, and makes sense for a theory I already had on the go.

“You asked why they are not just killing us… What they intend for us is far worse than death. Humans are the host to spawn this new artificial intelligence species.” Karen Kingston (former Pfizer employee and a pharmaceutical and medical device business analyst).

Sounds quite serious, doesn’t it? And is an idea I have been giving serious thought to for a while now. That they are indeed trying to augment something new, by way of writing in a hybrid technology for that human/cyborg combo we might imagine. But don’t think of it as the Borg from Star Trek being half metal and all clunky, although I’m sure they have some of those already hidden away as old projects, or would like to if they haven’t. But this is more along the lines of a system interwoven with your own, so Borg on the inside, but human looking on the outside. And how might this be achieved? Well, I’ll say Wolverine from X-men for a reference point, of the idea to graft adamantium onto the human frame, and they intimate in the marvel film that they had tried and failed many times before they got it to work on him. So, change adamantium to a nano tech substance, which needs to be integrated with a ‘human system’. And although it might kill millions or more, they think it’s a risk, or leap, worth taking. Of course they do, it’s other people’s lives being thrown on the line. But let’s say, that’s that plan, that they keep giving more and more shots to those who have had it, because each time might be a small upgrade, as you would with a computer. Some systems (bodies), won’t be able to handle the rewrites, or the changes, and will start to attack itself, or shut down. They will be written off as failed. But the ones who keep going, maybe they are the ones they really want, as their system may have fully integrated any new technology required.

But along the way, I suspect that the compound is also designed to seek out and replicate what is already there. Giving rise to the huge increase of numbers of all types of fast developing illness, disease and other conditions, so an accelerant of sorts. Possibly stimulating something that was placed there long ago, introduced recently or was perhaps naturally occurring. Just shoving it along the timeline quicker, to get results now. And it is scary to think it could be that meticulously planned and be so premeditated. A very unsettling realisation if in fact true. When you know about the statistic from the polio vaccines ‘accident’ where they gave 20-30 million Americans (and possibly some across Europe), contaminated vaccines, containing SV40, a simian virus that causes cancers and tumors (only in the lab mice apparently, they didn’t admit it for humans, but then again, they weren’t supposed to be testing it on humans, so how would they know?). So, to me, that is a possible clear example of priming the system for later activation, and we now know they had products for the CV19 outbreak patented and packaged well before there was talk of it publicly, so not a surprise outbreak, or a new virus they detected at all. Just a power move, to start in motion a very dark chain of events.

And I can’t help thinking that while they are either looking to improve upon humans, or wipe them out, or just hold us down, who can really say for sure yet. But it seems as though they keep failing with the upgrades so far, trying to integrate software too advanced for the hardware and it leads to malfunction, disorder or shut down. And building from scratch doesn’t include the conscious part they need to have. So maybe while they are busy showing us the ‘face of AI’ with their robots and human mimicry, that is the diversion, while they actually try to create AI within a living host, but way of nanotech, programming, wavelengths and upgrades. So actually, more like the Borg than I had given it credit for…

What If I Told You

It’s catchy, isn’t it? Making you think they may reveal something you didn’t know, but the twist is deep down you knew all along. Morpheus really was a great as a character. As they all were, and that film was as iconic as it was meant to be.

But what if I were to tell you that where you think freedom is being fought for, is actually in The Matrix, not outside it as the movie would portray. A construct, meticulously controlled, with agents infiltrating the system and eliminating those not needed. Twitter seems very much like that these days (and possibly other social media but I can’t comment on those), where you ‘plug in’, can be any personality you like, pretend to be cool, or famous, or a victim, or whatever you want. With a constant threat apparently of one’s trying to shut you down, or throw you out of their matrix or ‘take away your voice of opinion’. Weird really. It’s less a social place and more of a strategic enterprise, especially with it being revealed to have meddled in sharing of rather vital information at an incredibly pivotal time. Where the system showed itself to already be firmly intertwined with reality.

Because the social media sites and information gathering tool of the internet, were just an extension of a system already in place. One which has been creating our reality and what we thought were significant events and continues to teach us a version of history we are meant to learn. Programming us to be a certain way, to think a certain way, or to act a certain way. Seems like the wheels are coming off that one a bit in the real world. Cracks appear and the facade doesn’t appear as tidy as it once was. The drugs aren’t strong enough it seems to fully dull the senses anymore and make the steak taste as good as it used to. Well, not to everyone anyway.

But while it may well be ‘we have been down that road before, and we know where it goes’, we have not been down it with new eyes and thought. So, is it the same road as before? And just because you take what appears to be different road, you can still end up in the same place. Going round in laborious circles within the construct, as it adapts and monitors you throughout. Break free from the matrix, so you can have ‘freedom’ within the matrix is how it seems to be painted. Funny really. And as the ‘agents’ control things like infiltrating people, setting agendas, deleting ‘programs’ they don’t like or are now obsolete in their mind, it becomes its own monster. Maybe that’s why Smith went quite mad in the end, the never-ending cycle of bullshit set on a loop. And whether it would be his victory or not, maybe he just wanted it to end. And it did, with the architect carrying on, and it all starting again, as it will time and time again, I’m sure. Because there is always an architect for things like these, someone pulling strings and dropping a stone in the pond every now and again for cause and effect. But that we know, it’s just I can’t help wondering what stone they’re going to drop next, and just what effect they are looking for…
