Downsizing

It seems madness, the drive for net zero and the crazy targets and ideas put forward to try and look like we are going for it. Diving straight into the mouth of madness no less and trying to make it all sound and seem normal. I guess that was the real new normal they were shooting for, that everyone just thinks it’s ok because someone said it would be. But if you then realise the person who told you it would be ok, didn’t think it through, doesn’t understand consequences, can’t forward plan or imagine anything about where it goes and the effects, would you still think they knew what they were talking about when they say ‘it will be ok?’ I wouldn’t have thought so, but that’s where we are.

I have covered this slightly already about how logic appears to have taken a backseat, and it’s all going backwards, in articles such as Reversed Good Times, Convenience or Dependence? and It Was A Piece At A Time. Of how we have been tied into systems which now no longer serve their original purpose but will not let go, or gracefully step aside for a new way that actually works. Monopoly being the one which highlights how each major section of industry and society plays their part for that bigger goal of destruction and collapse. To be followed by a ‘new vision’ of the future, but one which seems to lack actual vision, and colour, and freedom. More like a Handmaidens Tale vision if you look at it on face value.

And that face value isn’t there by accident, and the ‘conspiracy theorists’ didn’t just stumble upon an idea of that on their own, it was part of the well-placed propaganda. Which is either there as a distraction, or a heads up, so it doesn’t seem so weird to me to give those things thought, and still don’t consider myself a theorist for doing so. Because there have been a number of things that might go some way to explain why the idea of people and society being scaled back is a recurring discussion. It wasn’t until recent years I even heard of the term ‘depopulation agenda’, and it came about around the time of a certain change in society and the world was rolled out. And to be honest, there have a few ‘Freudian slips’ as some might call them, of prominent well placed people making remarks or comments about overpopulation, about reducing the number and about using healthcare as a tool to prevent the rising numbers that will collapse humanity they say. We can’t sustain such number, the resources will run out, there’s not enough land, and so on. You may have heard some of those things over the years. Although it really does seem that those numbers have been herded into groups, the resources have been appropriated and withheld, and the land has been earmarked for someone to have all to themselves, so of course, you need to make it look like there are ‘too many people’.

Yet at the same time, we have reports of breeding rates collapsing, of fertility issues, of ratios falling well below the acceptable number for people to survive and how societies will have to adapt. So, which is it, are we terribly overpopulated as an overall global landmass generally, or are we on the road to extinction? The Beautiful Mice is a glimpse at what the projected path might be with all the continued and forced societal structures and ‘captivity’ we find ourselves in. Where it goes after you concentrate the numbers somewhat into a forced environment. Nature adapts as necessary, they say, but what if the changes being observed aren’t actually necessary, and many can see it, what happens then? Because not all will follow the same path, and the results become haphazard, disjointed and separated by what is perceived as ‘necessary’ at that time.

But to an outside view, it kind of looks like people are just being persuaded or hoodwinked into dismantling current working system and technology, with the idea and dream of it being better down the line. Not noticing that nobody really expects there to be a down the line in the same way, and could indeed be because they don’t expect there to be the same numbers in the not-too-distant future. That by scaling back society first, it appears to be a mistake and will leave people will not enough. But if the future is to accommodate fewer people, then you wouldn’t need so much infrastructure, wouldn’t need so many resources and production in place for large scale operations. You would want to overwrite those with smaller, less independent options, so that when there is less, you can control them more. Or something like that, I realise that in all the strange ideas and ‘fictional’ settings for a dystopian future of systems and controlling regimes, there was always an event first which ended up downscaling everything. To give them that opportunity to take society into a disturbing phase by way of disaster. And if we go with the idea that is what they would like, some might wonder if we are indeed still waiting for that type of event to occur, or it has already been implemented and we are waiting for the fall-out to be something that can no longer be hidden. Either way, we are clearly still at the whim of madmen and an odd and dangerous set of agendas being pushed at every turn, so best to know they are, as you never know which ones just might include you…

A drop in time

Macro photography with oil drops, but using some food colouring as well this time, to try and vary the colours. I know you can probably create photography and art like this with AI, but there is something very satisfying with it being a ‘live’ project where you can’t decide on anything, the drops do what they like and you either capture the moment (clearly), or you don’t.
