Some animals make you think twice, possibly. Maybe it’s just me. Penguins are one, but this post is for kangaroos. They just seem like a normal (ish) animal, on a landmass far away from where I am. So, my reference of them will only be from what I have seen on TV. But when you see them, or at least when I really looked at them, there’s something strangely humanlike about them.
I grew up watching Skippy the Bush kangaroo reruns, and seeing a cute, furry and friendly wild pet type thing going on. Not realising at all the size they get to, and how powerful they can be.
A funny episode of Mighty Boosh called Killeroo focuses on one, an odd but entertaining watch nonetheless.
Tank girl – this could be what started my brain originally on this train of thought, a few decades ago, with the graphic novels of Tank Girl. And a race of half human, half kangaroo soldiers that were bred by some crazy scientist. Which leads me neatly to what got me thinking about it again, and is a story I have mentioned before and no doubt will again.
The Island of Doctor Moreau (H.G Wells) – it’s a dark, difficult and quite horrifying read really. I had to make myself finish reading it. A tale of twisted experiments on an isolated island by a crazy doctor trying to make animals more human.
Kangaroos outnumber people in Australia around 2 to 1, and I used to joke when I heard that figure, that a kangaroo army could hop and kick their way through the population before anyone knew what hit them. And laughed about the idea as a comical set up, and still do. But do sometimes wonder if what we see around us, and presume is ‘natural’, could just be remnants of a previously engineered time or place. Ourselves included in that. We only know what we think we know, but I can’t help thinking there is so much more…
Free Guy – sunglasses people. I’ve mentioned this film before for its simulated reality and AI aspects. But for this, it’s because it reminded me of the next film mentioned. Of there being a different world visible to you if you are wearing these glasses. Money, status, fun, opportunities and anything you could want. Unless you are one of the NPC’s, destined for a life of repeated banality pandering to the ‘elite’.
They Live – the sunglasses here too. But what they revealed in this world that was hidden, was far more sinister. Way beyond celebrity, or class, or democracy. This was full blown us and them. Using the glasses to detect your enemy, who until revealed looks just like anybody else. Those are the most horrifying monsters in movies, the ones you can’t see, whatever their camouflage.
Alice through the looking glass, I noted the mention of black and white for the kittens, and how she wonders what the world is like on the other side of the mirror. And when she does step through, finds herself in an alternate world. Sounding a bit metaverse like, and reminding me of Coraline, where interestingly there is a scene where she is thrown through a mirror, into a dingy forgotten room with ghosts. As well as the overall theme of stepping into an alternate reality.
Pensieve viewing dish from Harry Potter, an interesting device which stores memories, that can be reviewed in detail later through a misty liquid looking material. Which also makes me think of the device in Minority Report, where the viewers thoughts and images of what they ‘see’ which is projected via a liquid mechanism.
The chronovisor, this a strange device that hasn’t actually been proven to exist, but there is talk it does. And is owned by the Vatican, was designed and constructed by Italian scientists in the 1950’s. It’s said to be able to allow the photographing, viewing and hearing of past and future events. If you did have something like that, you can see why it might be kept a secret. If everyone could view both, surely some would waste their life viewing what was, and others would spend their time trying to change what was to be. Would anyone get on with just living?
Many these days get the feeling there is something else, either behind what we see, or running alongside us. Perhaps even underneath, like the upside down in Stranger Things. Where sometimes what is on the other side doesn’t wait for us to step through the mirror, maybe sometimes they find a way through to here…
I wrote an article about Living in Fear before this pandemic debacle, but feel I should revisit the subject as a number of the things mentioned have come up again.
A quick brief of that article was that I had observed throughout my childhood and into adult life, a theme and overtone of fear running through society. Which has only increased in the last few years as many have noticed. The MSM and money making governing bodies want you to be scared of everything, including breathing the very air around you. A sinister thing to instil in people, that their fellow human being is infected and the very air you breath can kill you. Makes for a good movie though, doesn’t it? There have been quite a few over the recent years, of viruses, infections, unseen monsters that are there somewhere, but with a fear and tension that builds. Don’t make noise, don’t breath, Don’t fall asleep. Normal everyday things turned against you psychologically, so that then you in turn sabotage yourself by way of imagination and over thinking. Following on from the hooks and lures that were placed over the years, and through various mediums to trigger a response.
Now it’s back to relentless doom and catastrophic predictions. The ice caps will melt, the ozone layer, climate change is coming, war, collapse of money, food shortages etc. Like I said, relentless. But if you happen to glance at the predictions since 1970, none have actually come true, although certain people and industries have made an awful lot of money from them. And continue to do so. With this current generation being pummelled mentally from every angle. And while all that doom is being filtered through to each aspect of people’s lives, they are also tipping society upside down. As they have in various countries over the years, the rise and fall of empires, temporary enemies and alliances, all moving and changing behind the scenes mostly. But we get to see the continuing campaign against how things are, and how they would like them to be. Keep in mind though, how things were had been set up by them too. So, it’s probably best that we don’t try and go back, because that place was still with fear as an invisible hook. With familiar, calming faces to talk you round, then alarming, in your face presentations by other familiar faces, placed for purpose.
We would do well to try and undo the landscape of fear, hate and anger that has been allowed to fester. And not carry it forward as they would like, instead find a new way to move into the future. Because if we don’t, then theirs will continue to herd us along…
The talk of 15-minute cities and towns is gathering pace. Meetings, consultations, petitions and protests. Charts, projections and bottom-line targets. Just in case you hadn’t noticed, everything is being given a corporate makeover.
Every aspect of your life apparently needs to have an ‘institution’ overseeing it. But it was an online comment that made me think of this. Of about being stuck in those ‘zones’ with the type of people they do not want to really be around on a constant basis. Which made me think of school, and how you have to spend all your hours and weekdays mostly surrounded by hundreds of people you’re forced to spend time with. And then other aspects seemed to sounds similar too.
You have to ask permission to do things, trying to earn points and qualify for a standard you have been told to follow. A restricted regime where you are given your timetable, your zones and your meal times. You will also be given your meals of what they decide you can eat. You will be told when you can take trips or have fun, and be fined or punished if you don’t stick to their schedule.
Now think about the above, is that school, or is that a 15-minute zone? Hard to tell from where I sit. The similarities I find are many, and the first lockdown was quite possibly just a test. Not just of compliance, but of practicality, to see if they could swing it that everyone stays where they are. And I realised that even if on the whole people didn’t, they would tell you they did. To make people think it worked so that they went along with it as well, or that they at a minimum believed that the ‘authorities’ had the power to make people do as they were told.
Maybe they thought because most people had been through their system of being Institutionalised, it would just work. That people would fall back in line and remember their initial ‘training’. Expecting people to revert back to a childhood state of dependency and of being told what to do. Which is what I think is a big part of this, and I have mentioning it before too in Holding us back, but of trying to diminish people’s adult lives and responsibilities. Wanting them to be like little orphan Oliver, grubby and dishevelled with an empty bowl outstretched towards your ‘caregivers’, hoping they’ll throw you a crumb when you whisper the words ‘please Sir, can I have some more’.
And that’s possibly why some people appear belligerent and have been labelled Anti-everything. Just as the ‘trouble makers’ would have at school. But after we leave that system, hopefully some reflect on those years, and come to understand that people pressures and reactions to that strange enforced regime through childhood. And the ones who realised it was a waste of time and didn’t try to fit it? Well, seems they had the right idea after all. But even back then they did a good job on all of us to make us look down on bad attendance, people with bad grades, people with a bad attitude. Now I know what type of people set those attendance standards, grades and attitudes they wanted from children, I’m not so judgey.
So to me, it does seem as though they are just expanding the school system to be a bigger, more encompassing system that gets everyone. Where they can have you as part of their institutions for life, from cradle to grave in fact. Tied in, logged in and fully immersed in their financial, emotional, medical and technological future plans for you. Unless of course, you find you have other plans for yourself…
A strange tale that I cannot help but liken to the current talk of a Metaverse. It’s dark and creepy, and I very much enjoyed watching it, but have given it more thought as a concept, and as an analogy.
A lure of everything you might need or want, into a trap, a web no less. But in an alternate world, almost like the one you know, but with changes, and glitches, and built from a place of greed and darkness. Although for children, it’s essentially the story of an alternate world, alongside the ordinary one but hidden until activated. With a murderous female type villain (not the usual for the evil villains) who lures and grooms children with sweets, and games and the pretence of love, trying to emotionally separate the child from their parents. Picking on neglected, lonely and imaginative ones, with a past history of killing them once bored of them. Like I said, creepy. But there is more.
And it’s a bit of a shocker to be honest, because there is also a voluntary process involved to be able to stay in the ‘perfect’ alternate world, a price. You must agree to a needle, for buttons to be sewn into your eyes, replacing the eyes you have, with their ‘button eyes’ so that you will no longer ‘see’. Interesting, and possibly just a case of me reading too much into things, but perhaps not.
A little moment as well of eating a ‘chocolate beetle’ while its squirming. Made me think of recent celebrities eating bugs, trying to convince you too as well. If you have seen the film, you may know what I mean if you remember that part. Once all the smiles are gone and the gloves are off, the real ‘other mother’ comes through. Being a snidey, greedy, selfish, ugly being who pretended to be what they needed to, to get what wanted. In this case, to convince a child that they should have buttons sewn into their eyes.
It’s a theme we are very familiar with overall though isn’t it, luring children with promises and their naivety being preyed upon by unsavoury and nefarious characters. Fairy tales, stories, films, media, history, reality. They all have those same characters, repeating and reoccurring. As if there is a demon just for children, like IT and other things that exist to tempt them and lead them astray or down a dark path (see my article Face of a clown, in story town).
I do not believe the world was ever normal, at least not in our lifetime and the few generations that preceded this time, but where it appears to be headed and is being carefully crafted and steered towards, is a whole new level of concerning, weird and creepy. A bizarre manufactured landscape of confusion and crisis, with some dark and sinister themes trying to take the lead. Many have likened these times to Biblical, and that we are in fight for the future of humanity, and you know what? It doesn’t half feel like that sometimes at the moment, but then I have to think, is that just how it is meant to seem? Which means you must be ready for whatever unfolds, be ready, for both the calm and the storm…
What if there was a machine, something buried or hidden but has been here longer than we have, I have hinted at this in a few articles already, The Machine and One thing leads to another. And a few films of reference instantly spring to mind for this for a more industrial illustration of it –
War of the Worlds (2005) – part of what made it so terrifying. They were already here.
Total Recall (1990) – a machine that could create a breathable atmosphere, turning it on became the point, for survival.
Aliens vs Predator (2004) – an underground pyramid is activated, acting as a beacon to signal the game has begun. Where turning it on doesn’t always end well.
Dark City (1998) – another mention for this film that covers a lot of bases, because there is a machine, which is the central focus, and world builder in this case. Worth a mention, despite the fact is it already running and just needs to be harnessed.
And I wonder if something has ever been found, while they are digging for things, looking for evidence of what has come before beneath our feet. Because everything that has come before is down there, everything that exists comes from there (as far as we know), everything is made from something that is made from the earth. We can’t make things out of thin air (as far as we know), and we don’t import any extra-terrestrial material, so it all comes from here. This is probably why many think that if there are other beings with flying craft capabilities, it is more likely they are from here, just quite possibly the bit they don’t tell you about or actively keep people from. When you think of how much land is actually uninhabited (again, so we are told), it seems rather odd that we think there is an overpopulation problem. Antarctica being one of the ones that stands out for rules and restrictions, and all countries playing nicely for that agreement, something not right there at all. But away from that empty landmass, we have others, Greenland is mostly empty, as is much of Canada, Siberia, Australia, so once you start adding up how much is empty of people, it seems it’s quite probably another cog in the data corruption of humanity. And one that gets parroted so much, people actually started believing it. Now it’s easy to see how much is and was orchestrated, I can see how easily I personally fell for it, for lots of it, for years.
I believed famines were a terrible natural disaster, until I started looking at the demographics of the Darfur one, old enough to start questioning the thought processes of people, rather than just believe what I am told and shown. I thought, why don’t they just move to where there is food and water? Ah, and then you hit the reality. They weren’t allowed to, because of borders, and people deciding they had to stay put. So, I determined that it wasn’t the famine that killed so many, it was people needing to be in control, and that they would let people starve to death rather than help. And once I noticed that point, I began to notice it everywhere. Unfortunate circumstances and situations did indeed befall people and groups of people, but it was how they were then treated in the aftermath, by ‘people’ who then made it worse or used that situation to their own advantage. Hurricane Katrina springs to mind here, it was shocking, not going to lie. We were used to seeing abandonment of citizens in countries like Africa, or the middle east, or the far east, but this was in America, and probably should have been a big heads up on how they view the common folk, and a taste of what was to come. We have also seen in recent years, how they either deliberately cause the events, or knowingly screw up or delay any relief efforts, making sure the opportunists and vultures get a look in though. It’s actually quite terrifying to see how it has all changed in such a short amount of time, but once you look at what wants to be achieved, then it starts to make perfect sense.
So, while the article may have started as being about turning on a machine, I can’t help thinking maybe it’s us they are trying to turn off. As if we were the original AI blueprint, and now we have evolved to where we are, it’s a problem and they don’t want us having our own thoughts, or being in charge of our own personal evolution. Needing to find various ways to infect us, or shut us down, or corrupt us, as you would with any computer system. Except we have our own power source and can be self-sustaining and self-replicating without need to be part of a collective at all times. It must drive them mad. All these ‘rogue programs’ running around doing what they please and creating other programs as they go. I see that as being part of what they would like to control with their want of an androngenous, non-breeding, medicated society of drones, sorry i mean ‘citizens’. Just there to consume data and have their data harvested. As I said in my article Mark of the beast, we have become the product and they seem quite intent on changing what appears to be human being, into human doing, but as I so often ask, what exactly for?
