Awake or Out?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

What is it we think we are ‘waking up’ from precisely? A dream? A construct? An orchestrated lie? Or what is it exactly we think we could find ‘A Way Out‘ of?

Dark City – waking up during a procedure, to replace your memories, thoughts and personality. Funnily enough, by way of an injection. But it is the procedure itself that ‘wakes’ the characters up. Seems fitting for where many may find themselves these days.

Alice in Wonderland – waking up from a dream, but the whole time not knowing it was. Thinking the topsy turvy world was now her reality until she woke up.

The Matrix – waking up from your conditioning, and then your physical realm. But how did the first one become aware, and then ‘unplug’ themselves to eek out that strained and exhausting existence thereafter? Did they wake up, or were they awoken?

Wizard of Oz – another where she wakes up in a new world, but as with the others, the lines are blurred. And much is put down as dreams or nightmares for such things, but as with that story, it wasn’t meant to be. It was a ‘real experience’ in the stories. And the sequel goes back to that idea, not delusion, but real.

Logans Run – waking up to the illusion while you are trying to stop others who have. Being exposed to what turned others in the first place, slowly dawning on the main character as it all unravels.

And I wonder if that’s how it works? For the ones who never noticed something was rather off, and have now been pulled into the exposure, it’s only then they actually ‘see’ it. Because being told isn’t enough for them to comprehend or fully assimilate what it actually means. Like in Soylent Green when he looks to have gone mad, shouting that they are eating people, yet no-one really cares by that point, or sees it. Can’t see the wood for the trees as they might say. And maybe some people are cursed, as Snow White was, to sleep for an age and wait for such a time as your fate comes to wake you, whether that be the good or the bad. But whichever one does come to find you, you won’t want to be sleeping when it does…

An Elongated History

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

There is much debate on the origins of modern humans, as there always has been. But I keep coming back to skulls as a point of interest.

There are a couple that claim to be alien, and we have the range of hominids, and the elongated skulls. Which are the ones that gave me a new idea, even though I have seen them many times and already given them thought.

Could there still be some people alive today that have an elongated cranium? And they have always been there? There has been talk of all the tall and pointy hats throughout history, in many places. Could that have hidden the obvious difference from others? And now people don’t have to be seen if they don’t want to and have enough money to remain behind the scenes.

Deformed skulls from the dark ages article, saying large, skilled women travelled on their own from Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, settling in Bavaria during the dark ages.

Nephilim – known as giants or angels much larger than humans and interbred with us apparently. But what if? Makes me wonder about all the DNA testing. Is that to find something? Or is it being changed as is speculated, as is said has been done before.

Neanderthals – portrayed mostly as very primitive hominids, just getting by and not really advancing. But my theory of interbreeding with homo sapiens was finally proved in recent years when they discovered that around 2% of people have Neanderthal DNA. Could it be they were the advanced race that goes back to Atlanteans? And they have been rewritten like much else. It’s a long shot, but who knows.

There is much we don’t know and have a mere scattering of pieces to work from over a vast period of time. Wondering if any of those pieces really do hold any of the keys to where we find ourselves now. Just as things get buried and changed in these current times, waiting for someone or something else in the future to pick up the pieces and work it out. Although it may seem like an impossible puzzle, I can’t help thinking there just might be a way to solve it…

A Game? I Think Not…

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

You may have seen the Venn diagram of multiple films overlaying to create our current situation. Ones like 1984, Brave New World, Handmaiden’s Tale, Animal Farm, Soylent Green, V for Vendetta, etc.

To me though, it feels like going through a series of games – as well as a long drawn out version of all of the above. Now, there are films which sound fitting within games too, like Maze Runner, Running Man, Hunger Games and similar. But for this I mean board games, and ones we were provided with throughout our childhoods, so I presume is another form of conditioning. And hopefully most of these games, if not all, are familiar to people.

Cluedo – that mystery of murder, trying to work out who did it, where and with what implement. Honing skills of observation and what you think is fact, proving that people can get it very wrong, but are willing to ‘stake the game on it’ when they call it out.

Mousetrap – of pitfalls and traps, not wanting to get caught, but inevitably you do. Like the hold your nerve games, like Kerplunk, Buckaroo and Operation. It can be done, but you have to develop steely nerves and a steady hand.

Snakes and Ladders – a classic of ups and downs, literally. But can be likened to what we would call the game of life I suspect. Convincing people that it’s the luck of the throw that determines if it’s a ladder you will climb, or a snake you will fall prey to and fall. Steps to Heaven, and a serpent to take you down. And in real life, it almost seems as if it is on the throw of a dice, luck and chance steering the outcome. But we know these days that it isn’t always like that, because sometimes the dice are loaded, or after your throw and number of steps is revealed, what once may have been a ladder, suddenly gets planning permission to become a snake by the time you ‘land on it’ – so it’s not an even match of chance at all.

Monopoly – this one seems obvious as a tool of conditioning, and to be honest it did then too, but in a naive way, you think it’s to help you. And in a way it is, but it’s to help you help them. Not the same.

Battleships – into the realm of strategy rather than chance, but with way more of a war overtone than things like chess. Where you get a small fleeting feeling of glee at the idea of destroying their tiny little plastic ship. I guess the computer games we have had for some time now of war and such, have done a great deal of programming as they were meant to. Catching the ones who care not for the strategy of it, but rather just the thrill or the other aspects of warfare.

Risk – an interesting game of patience and strategy, with a long-term overview of taking great swathes of land and crushing borders, replacing people’s troops with your own. Need I say more?

And there will be many other games which were allowed to be provided to the masses, to keep them occupied and ‘entertained’, but clearly all of the mainstream things have been very carefully placed for decades. To very carefully prime people for requirement, and to give people the ‘knowledge’ you want them to have, keeping them always on the back foot, like playing Cluedo with only half the characters available, or you don’t have all the locations. And still thinking you can solve it. I keep thinking it all seems like a rather large jigsaw puzzle, let’s say it’s 1,000 pieces. You are given 15 pieces to start with, and a few hundred have been destroyed, some have been hidden well beyond sight, some have been duplicated, some have been replaced with dummy false pieces, and so on. And you are then expecting to be able to solve that puzzle eventually, and keep trying until it drives you into madness. Or, you decide that it is so ridiculous, that whoever changed and moved all those pieces has completely ruined it, so why would you bother to continue to try? You wouldn’t in reality, you’d decide the person wasn’t worth engaging with anymore, throw out the old pieces, and start afresh with a new one…

A Treaty of Control

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

One to rule them all. It doesn’t ever go well, the struggle for power or what occurs after it is gained. Even in the mythical settings of monsters, evil and magic, something or someone requires ultimate power over everyone. But instead of a ring, a sword, a crystal or whatever item they portray in the stories – this one is a piece of paper. Bit more along the lines of what we are used to, declarations, agreements, alliances and treaties. And that is the one being used for this power play, and although real, is also mythical. Because that ‘piece of paper’ isn’t magic, it’s just paper – and sometimes is put into motion with only a handshake or verbal agreement which starts the hypnotising process. Yet it commands an unreal hold over people, for no good reason it would seem. Signed into agreements, contracts, certificates and binding words as you would with a spell, yet the Witches and Wizards of today are not burnt at the stake as we are led to believe they once would have been. See my article – A Witch, How Convenient for an angle on that.

This particular agreement being discussed by people who shouldn’t be in in charge of holding a pencil, let alone the health of the world, in the pandemic treaty. My brief article – One treaty to bind them all, touched upon it, but now it seems to be trying to move into the next phase, although not going entirely well. Not all are on board, and the countries that are ignore the current mood, information, statistics and reality to press ahead with a failing plan. But one which seems to have so much invested in it, of now and the future, that they will not let it go. Because it leads in nicely to their overall plan of having a Ministry of Monitoring, centralised over people’s health and being wielded as a system of control thereafter.

And while they make these moves towards extra surveillance of your most personal being throughout your life from that ‘cradle to grave’ they covet so much, obstacles are placed and routes of escape are minimised to ‘catch the prey’. Destabilising countries and economies, causing untold stress and issues for people in their lives when it comes to being able to afford to live and get by. Completely deliberately of course, because they don’t want people being able to support themselves or look after themselves, and the worst thing people could possibly do is get along. Division has been a handy tool for the longest time, and is nurtured, more so recently and seems to be getting worse. Networks and communities are the opposite of what is required going forward, as is self-sustainability, so anyone in those arenas seems to under even bigger attack. I always liked this line from Luna in Harry Potter “Well if I were You-Know-Who, I’d want you to feel cut off from everyone else; because if it’s just you alone, you’re not as much of a threat.” And one can’t help but notice in certain places, there is something mobilising and it seems on both sides, setting the scene for whatever showdown is set for this year, and the many strange years yet to come…
