Burning Your Bridges

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

From two angles, firstly, how it is viewed as an analogy in life. For either severing or damaging a bond with someone or something, leaving it in tatters, or in great need of repair. And is often seen as a bad thing, but as with my Rocking the Boat article which looked at it differently, I did the same with this one following on from a review of the saying ‘it’s water under the bridge’, noting that often it is one side who just wants to move on and forget about it. Occasionally, it’s a small thing, and someone who wishes to minimise it will say it and make the other party understand it is a throwaway thing. But for the more serious matters, some try to minimise it and make it throw away. This is where it causes an issue and ties into this saying. Because when people say it, they are not sometimes comprehending the flow of said water, the path of destruction it may have taken, and if indeed a bridge was destroyed along the way, meaning there is no longer anything for it to pass under. If you catch my drift. But if you damage the pathway of the flow, or block or try to divert it, that’s usually where people have a problem, and just telling someone to move on, get over it or try and pretend it isn’t serious isn’t a good way to deal with it, on both sides.

Now to the second point, about burning your bridges as a literal act. Or collapsing them, steering ships into them, or derailing trains on them, as well as burning them down. It would seem an unfortunate accident if it was one or two, but it seems as with the food factory explosions and wildfires before them in the US, the recent incidents on bridges and necessary routes are being taken out very much on purpose. And at a time when there seems to be much instability and created issues with infrastructure, I can see why it is cause for concern. Making me think of previous calamities or economic struggles, there and here, and how they too were orchestrated like we see now. Stealing water sources, disrupting the farming and food, wiping out financial stability with loans, interest, banks, laws, and regulations.

It Seems An Attack from within is happening in many places, towards its own people and cultures. Wanting to replace, rewrite, and remove what stands in the way of their ‘progress’. And I can’t help thinking that’s what happened before to create these cultures and traditions people fight for. But what if we are just the previous lot who was moved into position, used for purpose, and given a ‘history’ to believe in and be patriotic about. With everything else being questioned and so many tricks and illusions in play, it would seem reasonable to question it. And the newcomers will just be us in ten generations or so, just as we were newcomers once. From where though, on that I’m not so sure…

Missing Information

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

It’s funny really, but not in an amusing way. How the methods unfolded and became so very obvious of how it is done. Misinformation is their tool, and an extremely handy one at that. To cause actual information to be missing and replace it with misinformation, then shouting the same if anyone happens to put forward the truth. That in itself though doesn’t always work out, as people may still question the information, and then by extension the strange reaction of the one or ones trying to stop people giving it thought, or talking about it, or ending up at a different conclusion.

So, it seems it required a more robust approach in these precarious technological times, where information can be produced, shared and scrutinised quicker than some can control. Leaving what appears to be a loophole or weak spot in their drive to create and control the flow of information. Mostly though, it seems that algorithms are mostly used to help with that, as long as they understand what is being shared and discussed. I am not convinced that they have the same nuances that people are capable of, especially when it comes to things like humour and double meanings. So, a human element was required, not for checking and interfering with information getting to people, but to taint it once it does get through. Creating a whole department in fact within the media and allocating a face to it, seemingly to be a truth-seeker in these perilous times of having to use your own brain and powers of cognitive thought. They would be there to do that for you, so no need to think, or question or wonder, and if you do, it’s quickly deemed ‘misinformation’ and you are told to move on, nothing to see here kind of thing. Previously a credible way to get something dismissed, not so much anymore. It’s highlighted how much censoring and editing of the truth there has really been over the years. For all sorts of things that perhaps don’t fit the narrative at the time, or threaten it being exposed.

And we can’t forget the Nudge, Nudge departments, put there to analyse and manipulate certain people and their way of thinking, knowing who were the most vulnerable, who needed the most attention, who would be a problem to them. Then putting in place rather unsettling media and marketing campaigns, to further get into people’s thoughts and ideally be behind their decision making, with heavy propaganda to influence them and create fear to drive it. Bypassing the natural instinct to talk to others, see for yourself, weigh up your options, do you own ‘risk management’ as it were, because they knew that’s what most people would do. So, it was necessary to isolate people, separate them and stop them meeting for their usual catch up, or gossip or information exchange points which often do not involve any technology, so can’t be monitored or censored. Places like shops, pubs, social clubs, school drops and playground and such, all places’ people find themselves in groups and will banter about society, life and problems. Conveniently all shut down and restricted at a time when people needed them most, because I believe that is where many who were caught in the headlights, and gobbled up the TV and media campaigns, was because they couldn’t do what they would normally and work it out yourself. So it possibly added to overall anxiety for some, feeling outside of it all with no real information, and no rational way to sort through it and discuss it. So, it festers and is allowed to spiral into a type of OCD perhaps, of constant worry and fear, sounds tragic, but it happened and keeps happening as some are so far gone now and I believe that is their ‘new normal’.

And for the rest of us, it’s constant as well, for whatever they could think to frighten people with, if you were scared of germs and a virus, then it’s war, famine, immigration, politics, farming, truckers, more war, genocide, dictators, global warming and so on. A relentless stream of things they want you to be aware of, so they can threaten you with them, and hold your life to ransom for them apparently, slowly converting your time into money, which they then take off you by way of consumerism and taxes, to then feed you more bullshit so they can take your mental time as well with worry and stress. Seems an awful waste of the vibrancy, creativity and ingenuity of people to have them trapped physically and mentally in this ongoing project we call society. But I fear it has now been so long, we wouldn’t know what to do without it…
