It’s not a secret that we have been subjected to a psychological test recently, as well as the other not so obvious ones that have taken place for decades. Psychological and physical, some of which we do know about. My article An experiment, but a big one goes into that side of it a little more.

But this is about how I often think of rats at the moment, and how we are treated like them in a way, and have been for at least the last few years. Or maybe somewhat before, but in a far less noticeable way as a group.

I first thought of it with regards to the Rapid Antigen Tests. The clue is in the word – R.A.T. I thought it would be funny if it was any other scenario, but the twisted humour of it didn’t escape me. That after restrictions were bought in, and rules and regulations to go with the masks and vaccination passes, it seems like we were being herded into an endless maze, with these RAT tests to complete. Well, not all of us went along with it, but enough did for the experiment to really take off.

Poisoning rats. It’s a thing that you don’t want to poison the rat on the spot usually, instead they know that the rats like to share and socialise, so they give them something seemingly sweet, to take ‘back to the nest’. And I thought of the claims of jab shedding, that after people had been tainted, they would return to their ‘nest’ and it would be spread that way. Through socialising and intimacy. Now, that is where we differ from rats apparently, in that a rat can detect abnormalities and disease in potential mates, so will avoid.

Memory – there have been many experiments using rats and generally rodents as the subject, and from those experiments I have already wondered about if it works in people in the same way. The brief of that being – “They took mice and hamsters and conditioned them to be afraid of the dark. Then they liquidized them, and injected them into rats, who previously had no fear of the dark. Once you get over that awfulness, that we do things like that ‘just to see’, the results revealed (although contested), that the rats who were injected, developed a fear of the dark.” – now if you can do that to people, you don’t even need to repeat conditioning, you can just inject it technically. But what of the inherited memory they sometimes talk about, maybe we just never really looked at who’s memory we inherited, or what other cell memory can be contained within things. Makes me wonder about reincarnation stories too, and of the ones which seem so very plausible, could they be cell memory that has been picked up through genetics and carried down the line to give an overlay effect in the ‘current life’. Also, I think of the part of the premise in the film The Island (2005), where one of the clones starts developing unique personality traits, and is shown to have grown memories from the original host, despite having never experienced them. Bit of a tangent there, but is that where the ‘Clone Cloak’ starts to fail. Like in Aeon Flux, where everyone has been recycled so many times, it starts to get a bit hazy of which life you are actually in. Same with Dark City, where they keep swapping memories around to create different lives for people, to study them and their behaviour once in the simulated experience they think is real.

Mazes – the classic test or ‘game’ they like to show with lab rats, the one where the rats work out they can push a button and get a reward. So they press the one they are trained to press, and they get food, or whatever treat they have primed it for. And in the bigger version, the maze, there are a series of tasks to perform to find your way out. We do this to people as well, but again, seems to not really have been noticed by many. That the maze is society, and each little hallway and turning that is blocked is one of their systems and regulations for you to adhere to, or accept to be able to continue. If you don’t push the button, computer says no. They hold the keys to each pathway and each door or access point, they made sure of that before they announced you were in a maze. Rats don’t get out of the lab usually, once you’re in, you’re in. There are a few sayings for animal related things we use to apply to human things we do blindly to get through the system – like rats in a maze, jumping through hoops, the carrot and stick method, all methodology of animal training but used for us too it would seem. So, by using those phrases, are we as a group in fact very aware of what is being done around us and to us, but because we are too busy ‘chasing our tails’ and acting like ‘headless chickens’ we can’t seem to do anything about it…
