It’s becoming obvious (R&R)

New, but not better
It was a disappointing event and view left after as below. To some It may just appear as more ‘incompetence’, but mark my words, this is strategic and coordinated. Its just a few trees they say, a bit of countryside here and there they say. With lovely drawings and blueprints of a utopic society living happily in this new structured way. Except we bever get to the bit where its realised. They take the money, ruin the landscape, then say ‘oh no, we can’t continue, oh no something changed or went wrong. And you are left with no money, a ruined landscape which takes decades to regrow, and a much crappier existence than before.
This is what happened. And it might just seem like one small area, and just a few trees (over 100 mature trees!) But this is indicative of what they want everywhere. Devastating to the wildlife that would have been preparing for spring, and to the local residents who didn’t want this. Which is why it was done under the cover of darkness, swift and deliberate. So there could be no Opposition.
Can’t have trees in the way of cameras, microphones, signals and surveillance. A stark skyline is what they seem to like and are shooting for. Open and monitored, like a farm, where you can watch your cattle and keep them in their allotted areas or zones as we are being encouraged to call them. They call them 15-minute cities, which to me seems like a concept like School, but bigger. And following on from my other article Something new, but maybe not improved.
Trees create a network of nature, over our heads and beneath our feet. They provide ecosystems for a variety of organisms, insects, animals and plant life. They help to cool and provide shade, to provide oxygen, soak up CO2, help with water drainage and land stability, can provide food in abundance and self-seed. People perhaps underestimate the importance of them and what they do. And how damaging it is to keep removing them from our daily lives and routine. A concrete soulless wasteland is what seems to remain after, so we find ourselves fighting for nature as much as we seem to be fighting for ourselves…

Creepy Heads
This is about heads. The idea of which came from seeing a picture of disused abandoned large heads, with a creepy feeling to it. Although as we know, photographs can make it seem that way, and in person it may just feel like an old field with old discarded things around. But junk yards and things left to waste away do seem to create a certain vibe, to me anyway.
Presidents head park, Virginia is the one I saw as below, and got me thinking to all the other heads we have in various forms.
Wizard of Oz sequel (Return to Oz) – this one stands out to me as beyond creepy, and did at the time I first watched it. A very dark film really overall, but the villainous character in that called Princess Mombi, had a room of interchangeable real heads. Of beautiful women from the realm that had been decapitated and their heads then carefully stored in a room of glass fronted cabinets, reanimated with magic powder so she could be a different face and head when she wanted.
Statue busts – we like to make just the heads often for decorative and creative purposes. There are many scattered throughout the world from various times and places, made from different materials and techniques. We like to recreate what we see, whether that be with our eyes or our imagination.
Shrunken heads – keeping heads but the small version. Almost like a strange combination of the two above, not quite skilled enough to recreate one, so will just steal one. But without the opulent storage facility of a cabinet room to display them, maybe shrinking them down to fit in your pocket was a bold fashion move of it’s day. We’ll never know.
Tower of London heads on spikes / Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) – We mostly hear of vlad the impaler when it comes to heads on spikes and the shocking way in which that story is told. But for me, the first thought is of closer to home and the Tower of London, which was also known to display the heads of executed people. As a warning and grim reminder of the ‘rules’ I guess. Also read recently that it turns out our monarch is a direct descendent of Vlad Dracul. Fancy that.
Olmec heads – rather large statues, again of just heads. Whether they ever had bodies is possibly debated, but they stand out for their features and quality.
Hydra – Not quite in the same vein as the others, as it had a body and multiple heads, but the focus for that is still the heads. Cut one off and another takes its place. Suddenly makes me thinking of having to remove or destroy a zombies head in fictional scenarios, always the head.
Medusa – another slightly odd placed one, because again she had a body. But it was the head that had special powers, with her hair of snakes and eyes that bore you to stone. And it was her head being removed from its body that was necessary, yet it retained its power. And to again mention zombies, I read a part of the storyline for The Walking Dead the other day as chose not to watch any of it, and it seems that removing the head doesn’t end them, as a character remained in the series, as a zombified head on a spike, still ‘undead’, so it kind of fits here too.
And in a movie or storyline here and there, they have hinted at the idea of having a disembodied head surviving independent of the body, cheating time and nature. We have stories and myths of headless horseman and various ghosts of that type, and a history of decapitations, hangings, throat cuttings and all sorts of gruesome ways to end the connection between the body and the mind. But that’s in a physical sense, maybe these days they are going for the same result, but in a more subtle and insidious way through technology and promises of immortality, wanting to download you into a system that will keep you ‘alive forever’. That saying again from Rudyard Kipling seems apt here –
“If you can keep your head when all about you, Are losing theirs and blaming it on you…”

A Weak System – Article reading
Alarming, no?
An emergency alert. In fact, the exact words were “The UK is set to test a frightening ‘Armageddon alarm’ within weeks which will see thousands of people’s phones flash and set off alarms.” And call me cynical, but my first thought was how awful for people with anxiety, who will be given a panic attack, even more so for those who haven’t heard about by the time it comes round.
Which then led instantly onto my next thought, or rather the chain of them. And here we go full conspiracy, what if the ‘alert’ is actually a special signal which activates the debated luciferase or coded info people believe to have been in the recent injections. And as easy as At the flick of a switch, people drop dead. They can say it was heart attacks, and apologise for ‘scaring people to death’ but they won’t mean it. It’ll be another sorry, not sorry. But that’s just crazy talk surely? Creating what would be something like a movie plot for real. Kingsman springs to mind here. Of the phone chips, and related devices to trigger violence, compliance, or whatever was needed to gain control.
Like I said, that surely is crazy talk, which is why I will say it’s a conspiracy theory. A dark one, but not unreasonable given our current circumstances. People with patience are playing a long game, and switched off any feeling for the masses a long time ago, if it was ever there to begin with. Using words again to start the mental worry, ‘frightening and Armageddon’ used there to give a very dramatic feeling, you know, like the ones they try and convey in the disaster movies, which may well have been laying the foundations for where we are now. Looked at in my article Prepped for disaster, or clever programming?
But the idea of an alarm, makes me think of the Eloi in the Time Machine film, where the siren starts and they fall into a trance and walk to their doom unaware, hypnotised by the sound and following an automatic response they have been ingrained with. Or the second Kingsman film even, where there is a plot to get rid of millions of people through poisioned illegal drugs. One which meant they couldn’t stop dancing, so would inevitably dance themselves to death. Then they were put in cages and stored in large empty stadium. Might be nothing of anything, but I can’t help thinking it was relevant, showing them in The main arena despite there being no ‘audience’ for the ‘entertainment’. Or it really was just a film, with no hidden meanings or connotations to anything. And maybe the ‘frightening alert’ is just a normal system they are testing with nothing to be wary of at all. But I can’t help thinking that maybe it isn’t…

It seems their hand… (poetry)
It seems their hand
They’ve overplayed
And their welcome
Well out stayed
A box of worn tools
That wants to dictate
Creating a landscape
Of worry and hate
Of numbers and rules
And pawns for a plan
Not about living
But more if they can
Crush and contain
What it is that we do
Wanting to change us
To be something new
A dampened down version
To do as we’re told
The future’s not bright
In fact it’s been sold
But we are complicit
If we do go along
With all of the bullshit
And all of the wrong
That is now around us
And more than on show
Time keeps ticking on
And further we go
~
To whatever end

The Dead Walk The Earth – Article reading 📚
Your Digital Informer
Like having a Tamagotchi, but instead of leaving it at home while you go to school, you stay home and it goes to school for you. That particular ‘toy’ may not be the best example as I was a bit older and missed the craze at the time. But wasn’t surprised to see recreations of people in adulthood mimicking their behaviour as a child with one. Literally dropping everything and rushing home from school to ‘feed it’ or find it had died. Probably a strange compliance test at the time, to see who would prioritise technology over real life. Enough it turns out. I too have arranged things around television when younger, so although didn’t engage with the Tamagotchi craze, I was taken by technology and arranging your schedule around it. As many now have to, or choose willingly to.
But the new and slightly weirder piece of tech for this particular article, is the AV.1 robot. By a company called No Isolation. Sounds all friendly and benign doesn’t it? And has already been implemented in the UK, with more on the horizon. And its purpose? For attending school in place of children who for various reasons, cannot attend themselves, with the idea being that they can still take part in the lesson, and ‘be part of it’ remotely. Like I said, sounds all friendly and benign on the face of it. But as with many things, I like to give a bit of extra thought to these types of things.
Aside from the fact that if a child is too ill to attend school is still expected to learn and take part like everyone else from their sickbed, being a bit weird. It’s the fact there will be a constant electronic link, sometimes visual (as that is not compulsory apparently, only audio), between the child and the school. Which can and probably will be monitored by a third party. Also keep in mind, any device provided by the state through schools to families is owned by them, and they get to listen to what they want, record what they want, and can check the device any time they want. But it is an extra link directly into the home, through the child, rather than just being a direct link for the child to the school and teachers. They really do need to maintain the children’s constant indoctrination don’t they? Off sick and can’t cope? No problem, we’ll install a system so that you will never feel behind or left out – oh, yes, that does mean you will be constantly monitored, and assessed, and judged, and expected to perform as per requirement and timetable. Perhaps overlooking that many of those things are what people struggle with, but by enforcing them at home as well as in the compulsory institutions, you just make it so there is nowhere to go to get away from it. If you can’t cope with school, then having it in your house everyday may not be the best solution and can cause a whole host of other anxiety issues directly within what should be a ‘safe space’. But maybe that’s just me that sees it like that.
Either way, having something mechanical to be a stand in for your physical presence is odd to me. Because while it appears to be a stand in, you are required mentally to be there, logged in and giving it your energy and attention. Many adults and children struggle with zoom meetings, and interactions of that nature being constantly required. It seems that although it’s not you being there physically, the draining aspect of what it requires is too much. People can gain energy from being around other people, recharging and bouncing off each other. It can help to get you through a day, or not for some. But the compulsory nature of school anyway bothers me, and how they have tried to structure family life around it. Catchment areas, grades, expectations, financial requirements, scrutiny, rules, restrictions and punishments. And that’s just school and a fraction of how much it dictates in a child’s life, and parents. It’s such an intrusive and unhealthy relationship the establishment has with people and their lives. It seems more obvious now than ever.
