More Like Us Than We Would Like

~ MKW Publishing ~ 5 Comments

Vampires, but this time, a bit more as you know them. Literature and films have done much to make us aware of them, what they are and how they are apparently above us in the ‘food chain’ and what their ‘habits and weaknesses’ are. My previous article They are vampires, but not as you know it speculated on them being energy harvesters, rather than the old fashioned portrayal, but that is where it begins, with the old fashioned view.

Dracula – the book as I haven’t seen the film, but same premise I believe. An ancient blood drinking evil in the form of a human, mingling amongst its food and being hunted when its true nature is revealed.

There are also many stories and legends around Europe about vampires and blood drinking demons, with the above being centred about Transylvania in Romania.

The Lost Boys – A modern take on them, bringing them into now and making them cool and trendy.

Blade – Another one with an ultra-modern overtone, with trendy clothes, music, fast-paced and violent. Definitely catering to a market, and slightly different maybe as that one came from the comic book world.

Near Dark – an interesting, back road vampire story. Of how they can just drift along through society, not really standing out as long as you blend in.

From Dusk til Dawn – not what I was expecting at all as a film, but gave more of a demonic inhuman makeup to the vampire that other movies hadn’t really. The exterior flesh reflecting the monster within once exposed.

Interview with a vampire – a good representation of how an immortal could slip through the ages, changing with the times and showing only what was needed to get by. Then being the only one to go into the future knowing others are long since dead.

Twilight – haven’t seen it, but the way it was talked about and fawned over online, made me think it was just another new trendy version for the next generation.

And really, isn’t that the fountain of youth? The key to being immortal. They always say that whoever found the fountain of youth, would quite probably keep it to themselves, not wanting to share that kind of power. But what if that fountain also needed to be maintained, with a steady stream of young blood? You wouldn’t want everyone knowing about it, because you would face problems on a few points, firstly you wouldn’t be able to decide who will be there with you when everyone else is gone. And secondly, you wouldn’t want too many immortals, otherwise there may not be enough to ‘feed’ to the fountain. Which places us as their food source.

Suddenly sounds very similar to rituals we are told were performed in certain ancient civilisations, blood-letting, bathing in blood, sacrifices and mass graves. The killing of their own, apparently. Which may well have happened, as they say, just as an appeasement to god, or whatever they believed it was for. But what if those graves were the ‘leftovers and rubbish’ just as we say when we find old pits from previous times. How would you know years later if they had been drained of blood?

If it is an elixir though, then adrenochrome makes more sense, and why it’s taken from the young by the old. They might just not look that old if they are rejuvenating themselves. Saying it’s surgery or just disappearing from public view if it starts to become too obvious. Remember that film Death Becomes Her, with the potion? Well, they never really specify what it is or where it comes from.

How we use blood within society from a medical perspective, could easily have another world harvesting and controlling certain blood for another purpose running alongside it, might almost go unnoticed. There have been many things revealed lately about the true horrors that we live around, not safely tucked away in films you can just switch off, or a book you put down and walk away from, even if they do give us hints at what really is there. But existing alongside us nonetheless, where we can’t just turn it off or walk away. Many things have taken rather a demonic turn, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to give some thought to why that is…

Over Their Heads

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

How is it that some people came to be so detached from reality? It’s a funny thought really, considering we are all going through life within our own reality, yet we take part in a shared one as well, so a dual-reality I guess. I have talked of this before in my article Separate Realities, but it is starkly obvious that people not being in the same shared societal reality is a big problem, because it leaves us vulnerable as we now are seeing. Large groups of people can be manipulated and taken advantage of, without them even knowing. I’ll use a Carl Rogers quote here, as an eminent person, some people have been shocked to have this quote attributed to him

“We can chose to use our growing knowledge to enslave people in ways never dreamed of before, depersonalising them, controlling them by means so carefully selected that they will perhaps never be aware of their loss of personhood”.

Chilling, isn’t it? And just to note, many of us did notice, but over the years they found various ways to dismiss or ridicule those concerns. And if we didn’t get with the program? Dissenters, conspiracy theorists, weak mental state, dangerous, and all sorts of other labels they latched onto to use to their advantage and against people. Using them to turn average people against each other, and even against themselves.

So, how is it that so many people are oblivious to what’s really going on around them? Are they only able to view the world through their own narrow lens, no capacity for anything outside of their own rigid frames? I believe the answer to that, is a definite yes. In these times of orchestrated agendas, people are being used as weapons and pawns, so the easily led are a great asset to those who wish to disrupt our day to day lives even further. Screwing the future while they stamp all over the present. But we must take into account that it has been a long time in the making, creating compliant, dumbed down people who aren’t really paying attention. Give them bread and circuses they say, keep them entertained. That works to a point, and if you look back through history, the parts we can presume may be taken from something that actually happened, we see there have many an uprising, revolt and fight back. All failed apparently, or thwarted at the last minute, conveniently, which is where I think maybe that’s just how they decided to write it. Putting in into the psyche of the people that they can try, but will always lose. I mean they have literally been rewriting the present as it happens, so everything previous would have been overhauled to be favourable for those in power. Suitable for a purpose. Guy Fawkes, the Luddites, French Revolution, American revolution and civil war, English civil war, to name but a few key moments here and there. And that purpose of which discussed in my article, When someone else saves the day.

It has however, been continued on through this last century through various means and methods, including commercial, economic, psychological, medicinal and educational. A work in progress where they need enough people to be in such a muddle and a bind in life, that they accept what appears to be on offer, but remember, it only appears that way. Try and look through the deception and cover stories, to the real motive and desire for things, because those two things are pivotal. Yours and theirs. They create the bind and muddle in the first place, thinking many won’t notice, then pretend to be on hand to offer a solution. As I said in It all starts to unravel, the ones who ruined you, are not the ones to save you, remember that…

Beyond Meat or Beyond Ridiculous?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 3 Comments

We’ve heard much of late about synthetic meat being pushed on society. They try to paint a terrible picture of real meat and how apparently damaging farming is to the environment. But instead they want to build factories and give you a processed synthetic version, which also needs resources, but also lots of chemicals, and has less nutrition.

Suddenly some of the previously well organised and placed ‘protests’ against meat make sense. The school friday walk outs, extinction rebellion, and the current ones against milk or oil. They want to influence a certain impressionable section of society, through very well funded groups. Funded by the very industries often they claim to be trying to bring down, like the oil one.

But they want farmers out of the way and being in control of our own food gone. I covered this in If you control the food, but with every move they now make a further attack on our way of life, it needs to be connected for people. Sales aren’t looking good already for beyond meat, people say it tastes horrible. Which then makes me wonder about all those protein based vegetarian products they have touted for years as being healthy. Why isn’t that being pushed more? Why try and design a more complicated, costly, not as good version of something we already have that is just fine? Forcing through quotas and culls for healthy animals, cutting the lifeline off for many with one action. Taking a life, a livelihood, and food for many as well as the genetic lineage from the stock pool.

This isn’t about animal or people welfare to them, it’s about stats, charts, projections, profits and control. You would do well to start using your local farm shops, grocery shops and paying in cash. Learning about nutrition and growing, take responsibility for your own life and food a bit more if you can. It’s all tied in together, as we all are in the bigger picture that unfolds at a frightening pace. They talk of destroying the economy, industries and society in such a casual manner that we must not forget how serious the implications are for all they are doing. There is nothing casual about this, or accidental and it isn’t incompetence, however much we would like to think it is. Stay sharp, there are some more strange times coming our way…

Robotic Affection

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

In this odd new world that gets presented to us through TV, media and general propaganda, there appears to be a fair amount of focus on humanlike androids. The concept isn’t a new one, and has been suggested in many a movie and TV program or series. But in the last couple of decades, it’s not been so much about useful inventions, machinery, technology and convenience for humans, it seems to be more about replacing humans in a way. Or at least to try and phase out a humans need for another human, maybe. I think perhaps it is overlooked by many, just how energising it can be being around other people. Not ones demanding anything of you, or where you have any set purpose or task to perform (although having a audience with their full attention on you must be a good feeling to a point), but just people being people. Physical contact with human skin can help to produce oxytocin, a good feeling chemical in your brain, similar to showing affection to animals as well. That’s why they say a hand on a shoulder or a hug can go a long way to just help someone feel less alone and comforted.

Harlow and his study on dependency. You should look up that study if you aren’t familiar with it. It’s a heart-breaking watch, but you can read through it on wiki. A baby monkey was taken away from its mother, and given two alternatives. One, a cold hard frame of a ‘mother’ which would dispense food, and the other which had no food, but was wrapped in a terry cloth and was a softer ‘mother’ option. The surprise apparently for them, was that the baby only went to the hard framed mother when it had food, and then went straight back to the comfort of the softer one. Shocked they were. Yeah right, they would have known these things beforehand, but just wanted to see and decided from that, yes, infants feel attachment towards their care-giver and it is an attachment called love. Cruelty as its finest. That was in 1958, so makes you wonder just what they had been doing all that time within psychiatry, medicine and emotional development of people and animals to come up with that.

Anyway, from that idea I theorised that there is a detachment they are trying to cause in us, trying to fully understand attachment, which we all seem predispositioned with at birth, to be able to create the opposite. But the way they seemed to want people to view each other as potential hazards and germ factories, the carriers of death itself, and purposely encouraged shunning and abuse made me think there was a bit more to it. They wanted to see people being hostile to each other, afraid of each other, so I have given thought to why, other than the obvious of facilitating the ‘pandemic’. It also serves a purpose to make people feel more detached from their fellow humans, and if we are not getting what we need from other people, we will be needy, missing something, searching for contentment. And that is where industry steps forward with a ‘solution’, and for some people, they say they like the idea of it.

iRobot – a film about the future, where robots are fully alongside humans, part of society, but a new upgrade is coming. An integrated part of the AI system which then rages out of control. Showing us that it’s the machines we should fear, if they don’t have a human side, which luckily the lead role robot does. So, all is saved. But I still speculate in those scenarios, that they are still programmed and initially created by a person, covered in my previous article Is it really the machines we should fear? So, it always has a human influence.

M3GAN – this is a weird looking film, and has elements of the above with a malfunctioning robot and it gaining ‘awareness’, but also with a mixture of Childs Play themes, and others of possessed dolls, but this one has been designed and created for purpose, so not possessed, but sentient?

Android prostitutes – There have been various articles either hinting at, or downright expecting the future to have an array of perfectly normal relationships with a human like robot. The idea they are pushing is that they are ‘safer’ and ‘won’t hurt you’ – I suspect this is meant to be geared towards emotional hurt, because if you had watched any of the films with humanistic robots, there is a lot of physical damage and pain. So, maybe it’s a weird trade-off for some, to avoid being hurt, you therefore have to avoid being loved because the robot will never really love you, unless it is programmed to. That certainly isn’t restricted to only machinery, people do sometimes have that mechanism anyway, shielding themselves from hurt and joy, because sometimes they go hand in hand and it can be hard. But if we go down the road of living with something we expect to fill a human need, when it clearly isn’t, seems like a recipe for disaster, or at least a set up for failure and disappointment.

Humans, tv series – this was a series a while ago, I only watched the first one, because it got a bit predictable after that, but the premise was interesting. Humanistic robots as servants, helping with chores, being a nanny, assisting the family, as part of the family. They aren’t just lights and clockwork though, and become sentient, and get caught up in the human relationships and emotions.

So, from the attachment assessment above, are they trying to ‘friendly them all up’ (as they say in iRobot), to make the robots looks like us and imitate us, so that we form an attachment to them? If you started to give children a ‘choice’, they are presented with a ‘cold human’ or a ‘comforting robot’ which one will they pick? There are a number of adverts and apps aimed at loneliness, but no longer about connecting people to other people, it’s now slipping into sharing you feeling with a program. An algorithm can be your friend, and because it is programmed and has been input with the requirement and parameters of what they have decided is ‘human need’, it won’t forget your birthday, or to remind you of something. It won’t overstep the mark and take liberties, and it may even be able to work out when you are sad or happy, by your responses or lack of. So, it will seem like it fills a void that has been created by society, and you will become predictable and programmed too, so will seem that you work so well together, why did you ever need people? People creating robots, to be like people, but without humanity and then selling that back to people as a ‘human experience’. It really would be funny, if it wasn’t so tragic.
