So, I saw a new scientist article yesterday about discoveries in Siberia, of seven apparently, ancient viruses being found in the ice.
And now I’m thinking of the book I wrote…😬
The Unknown – A discovery in the Siberian tundra turns the entire world upside down, rewriting history and setting seemingly unstoppable forces in motion. In a race against time in a quickly changing world, they must learn to adapt to survive. Will people accept their fate or fight to save an existence that was always meant to end? Can humanity survive?
An honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay is how the saying went. But when you factor in taxes, it doesn’t quite work like that. Here’s how it goes.
You work for the day, and get paid, cash in the hand. On your way home, a bloke who lives somewhere stops you, and says “I need to take 20% of that money, to sort out people over there somewhere”. But how does he know that person is going to do what he says? He doesn’t. Therefore, a social contract begins to emerge, of promises and plans for that money. To ‘help the community’ and ‘for the greater good’.
That’s a very basic breakdown of how tax can look. And that’s just income tax. Add to that national insurance, stamp duty, corporation tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, vat and all the other things they can and do tax you on. For the average Joe though, who has already had money taken, it’s an extra bit of thievery on top. Because it’s not necessary. There are all these middle men who have shoehorned themselves between a person and living their life. No longer earn cash and spend it. No, that would be too easy. Now you earn money, they take some. You put it safely in a bank, they take some. You want to buy something; merchant fees then take some more. And people can’t just sell things anymore, you need licenses, regulators, and permissions as well as fees and charges. Same with building things, all have to be applied for, usually for a fee, then approved. You can’t just work hard, build your own house and live a life anymore, there are a hundred hoops to jump through just to even be allowed a roof over your head in some cases. And it’s all wrong. Especially as we have it so clearly thrown in our faces, that they cannot be trusted with all that money they are stealing from people, who have invested their time and lives to earn it in some cases. So, they take your time and money, then actually charge you for that right if they can.
We’ve also seen astronomical spending in the last few years under the guise of an emergency, all that money they hoarded for years, then just created out of thin air, eye-watering amounts. On nothing essentially, it just ‘disappeared’ into this bank account and that, for this contract and that, private discussions and deals made to take more, give less and laugh right in your face along the way. Printing the number and figures they are wasting, to really rub it in. Yet still we give them more, and more, and more. And all the while they are slowly draining what there is, putting spanners in the works here, there and everywhere. The kind of thing you might do to something you want to destroy, steal everything they have, smash everything they like and have, make it so they can’t have anything else. Too harsh?
We can’t overlook that while they took with one hand, they appeared to be giving back with another – offering debt willy nilly, tying people in to unreasonable social contracts and systems just so they could live, charging more if you can’t afford to pay – bank charges being a classic for that. “Oh, you’re overdrawn and have no money, well, we’re going to take another £25.00, which will make it worse, and then we will keep doing it…” no helping hand there, blunt corporatism that should have been warning of what was to come. It was never about people having enough, it was about seeing how much they could take, and keep taking. Convincing people along the way that it was necessary, and there was no way society could ever function without the ‘elected government’ to guide you, take your money and hold it over you, like an abusive parent who won’t let you go it alone. Tying those apron strings ever tighter, realising more money gives you more freedom, and if they don’t have that over you, you won’t listen or do what they tell you. So it becomes a self-perpetuating loop, of dependence, because if we didn’t keep feeding them all that money to lord it over us, and implement dangerous and destructive policies and procedures, then they wouldn’t have that over us. For people who are wealthy and well-positioned, the last thing they would really want to do is help others get to that position as well. Because if everyone has that, no-one is deemed wealthy and you can’t wield influence if everyone is special, or talented, or is well-positioned, it makes it null and void. Like if suddenly everyone decided to not recognise money as real, to view it literally as Monopoly money straight out of the box, pieces of paper that someone grabbed and declared themselves the banker, buying all the property and charging people rent, fees and utilities. But you can end that game, can’t you? Just get up and walk away, stop playing, ignore the ‘banker’ and suddenly they are just a regular person with no sway over anything, I can’t help thinking there is a lesson in that, and one we should be paying attention to…
You hear many people being called controlled opposition, and for many situations, it is. A tactic and trick to make it appear as though there is competition, but in reality, they are all on the same side. While they said no monopolies, they instituted them. And you’ll notice more and more how they say one thing, and do another.
But in the real world, where there does still remain two opposing forces to something, there will be tricks and tactics used as well. Like in chess, a series of strategic moves to take out and beat your opponent, or out manoeuvre them. Life really is no different at times. And this is indeed one of those times. Two years ago, an article was published in one of the psychology mags, saying along the lines of
“Conspiracy theorists were mentally ill and anyone not wearing a mask was a narcissist.”
And there it was, a chess move. I saw it clear as day, a pre-move almost, laying the stage for later use. I commented online that it would lead in nicely to them being able to label anyone with clear thought, ill and not capable when it became obvious that they hadn’t convinced everyone. For later use perhaps I thought.
Well, that later use appears to be trickling through now. There is talk in Canada, that doctors will be ‘instructed to medicate you if you refuse the covid jab’. The context is surrounding managing anxieties around vaccine avoidance. Prescription drugs and counselling. Do you see the slippery slope? The chess move? Your opposition doesn’t agree with you, tactic then moves in to silence, remove or convert opponent. My previous article A witch, how convenient can give you an idea of how easily it can be used and gotten away with.
We have recently heard too from a high-profile celebrity about controlling and coercive tactics being used by his ‘personal trainer’. And it seems now we understand many a celebrity or familiar face may have found themselves as a chess move in the end, and labelled mentally ill as a convenient way to discredit and remove them from the gaze of society. No questions asked, no-one comes to find you.
It’s also been apparent over the last few decades, how mental illness appears to have been encouraged and indulged somewhat. Because it makes an awful lot of money. From GP’s, medications, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, units, placements, etc, it’s all money for someone. They say one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure, in this case it is one man’s misery is another man’s fortune. Most things start with good intentions, and I’m sure trying to ‘fix people’ was one of them, but it’s not that anymore. At whatever point it was realised that a mentally weak population was easier to control, it steamed ahead. Holding back nutrition, education, opportunities and keeping people at the ‘level of society’ they believe best served a purpose. Then tying them up in debt, addictions, labels and hoops to jump through to ‘qualify’ for their systems. Now with pharmaceutical drugs, media, entertainment, laws, rules and regulations, they have all the necessary tools to control and eliminate all obstacles and competing views.
It has been noted how ‘convenient’ covid was in being able to implement their new systems. Crushing lots of small business competition over a short yet sustained period, with no-one to stand up to them. As soon as they authorised their emergency acts, it was inevitable they were going for the little guy. Coming down heavy on everyone but corporations, coming up with massive fines and extra council powers to ‘crack down’ on normal people. Yet many survived, and were savvy, but cannot keep going forever. Savings are being depleted, back-up plans being diminished, and all the while they are trying to keep their chokehold over society and the economy. And it is a chokehold, constantly stopping things from getting going again. Moving the goalposts, swapping politicians, pretending there is an emergency. Well, there is one, just not what they say it is. Because they are the emergency and problem. The middlemen, the ones who have come between you and your life because for some wild reason, they seem to think they know better, and they can tell you what to do and how to live. It’s bizarre when you think about it, the whole voting system, tax system and set up of politicians.
But those are all chess moves, each one thought through with a series of outcomes that will lead to other moves. And once you are in the game, you are restricted by it and part of it. That’s why people say, don’t play the game, and if you have watched a certain film from the 80’s you’ll know this line
“The only winning move is not to play”.
Easier said than done when they have so many people tied in through various means, but something to work towards perhaps…
It started with convenience, everything in one place, free parking, lots of choice. Moving into larger stores, more shops available, 24 hours shopping. Supermarkets gradually took over as the main source of the family weekly shop, with many citing it as theDeath of High Street, but years later, many smaller shops still remained, although getting less and less. My article highlighted a particular issue I found with local shops, so supermarkets got my business instead. But times are changing again, with supermarkets now being a major player in trying to roll out digital and automation, using something extremely necessary for survival. Food. Written about in If you control the food, it’s become very obvious of late that there are moved to control, restrict and change what people are ‘allowed’ to eat, as well as wanting everyone to be monitored and controlled through I.D’s, apps and routine medical testing. To me supermarkets are a possible front line for this change to take place, and if people realise what part they are playing, and how important they are, maybe it will change how some people view this situation.
I’ll note the problems I have with some of the new things moving in, from things I have read and articles I have seen over the last few months.
Access via app stores only – where you won’t be allowed into the store unless you have a smart phone, which has the stores app on it, which you must sign up for, and scan in with. No app, no entry. Just like the good old days, if your names not down, your not coming in, kind of thing.
More self-service tills – many have differing views on this, some like the streamlined aspect of it, no human interaction, and all very ordered, or so it seems. Because often they have issues, and always there is a human presence to deal with said issues, or give guidance to the untrained person being expected to use the equipment. But the main gripe people who aren’t on board have is that it is an obvious move to cut down on staff, and to save/make more money for the company, while all the while the shopping environment becomes a more sterile atmosphere, but doesn’t seem to be as nice, or clean as before. So sterile in attitude, not in appearance or efficiency unfortunately.
Petrol pumps – it seems that some places, while it seemed easier to pay at the pump, a new rule, apparently introduced by the banks, is that they will reserve an amount of around £120.00 from your bank, and refund/return what you don’t spend within up to 60 minutes. Another seriously cheeky move in the game of money, transaction and charges. I have shared my views on Cash and the money they make from us having money, so this is just another move to have more say than they should about what is done with your money. Because once you hand it over to the bank, are you really in control of it anymore?
But supermarkets like I said, play a frontline role in this, because if enough people just blithely download these things, and allow others to be restricted or refused food because they didn’t download an app, or didn’t want to have a phone with them, then we are in real trouble. Which may be so, because given how recent events went, and many people without a seconds hesitation, actually wished people harm because they didn’t ‘do as they were told’. So, if someone is threatened with no access to food, what will they do? Will they refuse? Will they shout about it? Will they comply? I guess we will see where people will fall on that one, if the authorities and corporations are allowed to continue with their agendas and targets which seem set on decimating the food chain and normal food, farming and agricultural systems in place. So, it is Convenience, or dependence? because it seems awfully like we are being streamlined to fit around their corporate systems, targets and services. The consumer becomes the consumed…
