I got to thinking about words again, and their meaning and usage, often being borrowed and adapted for other words or meanings, as we are told. This one may be obvious to many, but even I didn’t see it for ages. And it was thinking about days of the week, and wondering about the word week, to signify a five-day consecutive stretch ending in the all coveted ‘weekend’.
In my thought process, I likened it to the following, Week = weak, throughout those five days they drain you all week, using and taking your energy and time, and make you weak. Then we are taught to look forward to the weekend (or holidays), which funnily enough we have a saying for, to kind of show that we know we have been worn down, we say you need time off to ‘recharge your batteries’. Seems obvious now, doesn’t it? But for day six and seven of the allotted time frame, it’s the ‘weak-end’. The film The Matrix makes a point of saying we are batteries, used to power their machine and whole system. But unlike the rows and rows of pods plugged into a central point, sleeping and generating power, maybe there are different levels of it. Almost crossing into a Brave New World kind of scale. With some being low grade energy, therefore confined to the ‘factory’ pods. The ones walking around and ‘living’ generate a good amount, and there are others, who can utilise and create the vast amounts of energy generated through thought alone. With them wanting to have a 6g network powered by people being the antenna, it seems that could be more of a possibility that I had first considered. And I will admit, it all sounds rather unlikely, or at least it used to. And potentially all the things they talk of are just pie in the sky, and hopeful on their part, but there is also the possibility that it isn’t, and these things that sound crazy of the face of it, often don’t after you have put it in perspective. They do now talk of growing humans in pods too, taking women out of the whole reproduction cycle mostly, although that isn’t a surprise to me, I wondered how long before they took control of that process, seems like an awfully important power for someone to have. To create and give life, it really is quite something.
But as with everything, they never quite do what they say, and there is always an awful lot they aren’t telling you. I will refer you to the film The Island if you haven’t seen it, because it really does tie into this. Because while they tell you it is for just growing babies, to then be ‘born’ and put into society – what if some aren’t. What if they decide to have two factories, but one underground that you can’t see, where they grow them, allow them to be born, and then just put them straight into slavery, or use them for testing, or keep them in pods forever. Now, you may think that seems a bit dramatic and my imagination has run away with itself after watching too many films, and believe me, I wish it were that. But I will refer to my short article/YouTube vid which explains it in 60 seconds – A very disturbing idea, because once you know what they casually discussed all those years ago, it really does change your perspective, or at least should in my opinion.
With all the changes recently, it seems very much that everything we do as people is being quantified by usage, energy and your overall ‘footprint’ they would have you believe you are creating and leaving behind on the world. For the future generations they would have you believe that will be your legacy. But instead of being the problem for wanting a normal life, our problem is that we keep following the system that drains us of our energy. Having already been moulded into what they wanted; they now want something else. Net-zero. The opposite of the industrial revolution I guess, where we stop using innovation and logic, they have made their fortunes doing that. Now it’s time to make sure no-one else can, and that industry must stop altogether. Replaced with a fanciful idea and painfully weak ethos and completely lacking common sense and practicality. To us anyway, maybe not to them. Because if you wanted to scale everything back and treat people as the commodity you see them as, it seems a good place to start…

My first book of short stories and what people had to say about it.
Six creepy tales of long kept family secrets, dark dreams, broken sanity, ghostly encounters and the old magic of witchcraft.
You can bury your dead, but secrets have a way of coming back…

The hotels and the growing issue of mass haphazard immigration. I have already covered this in Hotel California, or Hotel Strategy? And in On the ground. But as we keep seeing the numbers increase, and the financial resources being thrown at it, people can’t help but wonder what the actual fuck is going on. I speculated further in And the purpose is? covering the idea that it was to disrupt tourism and create a destabilising force within communities. And that does seem to be the case, so not sure it’s really speculation, more an observation at this point.
The reports from various European countries keep filtering through as well of violent gang crime and sexual assaults, towards men and women. Machete attacks, some murders and various other things highlighting the clash of mentalities, cultures, education and the often shocking and grisly outcome of this. But what some people question is they why of all of it. And rightly so, because even if the typical age range and attitude of the boaters wasn’t that of organised crime and with nefarious intentions, there would be still be the question of why exactly. After years of strict borders, passport control, immigration procedures and ‘protecting our borders’ as it was called back in the day with the apparent land army we had, it seems not a thing anymore. In fact, our own Navy assist them from France in a rather civilised manner. Funny really, makes me think about previous ‘wars’ we are told about when they invaded, or crossed a massive ocean to take a country. Did they? Or were they invited and shipped over with agreement to put them in place as paid mercenaries, to be activated when ready to make it look like it was a genuine skirmish, or that society just collapsed from within all by itself. The fall of Rome and all the other empires they mention, at the height of their opulence and greed, it all just falls in on itself, apparently.
Or, could it be, that they all reach the point of enough people being educated enough to really see the scale of the corruption, or that it is so large it simple cannot be hidden. And thereafter it starts to go horribly wrong, so it becomes a desperate race against time to take the riches, leave the people in the gutter, and rewrite history again to show that you didn’t lose, or ruin everything, but it was ‘the people’, it was the weather, it was them over there. Anything but admitting that it was an orchestrated and co-ordinated takedown of certain peoples, histories, countries, societies, families and ultimately a takeover of power.
And we are witnessing something at the moment, that appears to be a power move. Where the ‘elected’ officials (and not even elected anymore, just placed), start to completely ignore the people are apparently there to serve, and continue on their power mission. Where they abuse your trust, ignore your reasoning, take your money and then act surprised that you will call them out on it. Many people are questioning what their goal or plan actually is, who is it that authorised the release of unlimited funds for anyone and everyone from overseas to rock up and be housed, indefinitely? Who really has the pot of money and controls the purse strings on that one? I know they won’t tell us, and we will all continue to be treated like fools, who are looked on as silly for even asking the question and thinking of the financial cost, as well as the economic and psychological one on everyone being affected by it. Locals and new arrivals. They are being used to aggravate and inflame the locals, with a promise of something I’m sure, while everyone else just gets thrown to the curb. Like them saying “No we don’t have the financial resources we took from you over the years to keep on your behalf for you, because we are now busy giving it so someone else”. Honestly, if you worked a whole week, or month, or even day, and went to get your wages, and your employer said “Oh, you won’t be getting any money today, I decided to give them to that person over there who just turned up…”. We’d like to think that person might have something to say about that, or perhaps wouldn’t bother turning up to work every day thereafter. Or if you had saving put to one side, and you went to the bank to get them, or some of them, and the bank says “Sorry, you no longer have any savings, we decided that family over there needed somewhere to live, so we gave it to them, even though they haven’t worked, or saved any money”. I think people might suddenly stop putting their money into the hands of people who treat it like that. Or not, it’s hard to say now what people would put up with, they have been worn down quite successfully over the decades and especially the last few years, and it shows.
So, is it just incompetence we see around us, as some would like to suggest or believe. Or is it in fact a strategy, to demolish the systems that are, to replace them with the systems they want in place. To make it seems as though the current system is so old and outdated, it can’t possibly hold up to ‘modern living’, despite the fact that it has facilitated us getting here quite well. But where is here anyway? At a point on a long road that someone else put you on, to a destination they have decided, with tolls and bridges along the way you must pay for, or work through, or never make it across. They don’t want you veering from that road, don’t want you building your own bridges, or finding a better way without them. Suddenly there are fences, blockades, walls and checkpoints to go through, just for living your life. Like an odd game of snakes and ladders crossed with a rat’s maze, but instead of just a blank maze, imagine shops, and procedures, and exams that the rat has to go through before it is allowed to enter the next corridor. So they can ‘grade it’ and ‘assess it’ to decide which corridors and area it will be allowed to try and access next for its ‘reward or punishment’, whether it gets a snake, or a ladder…
