Thoughts
A Rather Dark Enterprise
Go back, from where we are now, tracing a path from there to here. With gaps and unknowns of course, but I can’t help thinking they are more linked than I at first believed.
Mentioned in my article A Working Strategy, but only briefly as a side point, now I look at it in more detail. The Foundling Hospitals. At first I had just thought they had one in London, but it seems there were others. And I revisit this subject, as it would seem in these modern times too, children have and are being used as objects of experiment.
That comment coming to mind from Willard Graylin, a noted head of bioethics, who proposed the Warehouses of the Living Dead, to house bioemporuims of living cadavers. Where people could be spare body parts, being kept ‘alive’ by way of machines and respirators. Saying that by introducing those warehouses, they would no longer need to use prisoners, volunteers or mentally retarded children. Yes, implying that they already had a system of harvesting body parts from them. Horrifying and is covered a bit more in my article Perhaps.
But back to the Foundling hospital, the first one actually being in Dublin, Ireland in 1704. Strangely the two purposes of this being established was ‘to avoid deaths and murders of illegitimate children and to teach the Protestant faith’. Sounds quite weird and the opposite when you read how it went in the long term.
“Child deaths during transport to the hospital or whilst staying in the hospital were not infrequent”
And for some rather alarming stats on that, the words ‘not infrequent’ being an understatement. Constant would be more truthful.
“Between 1790 and 1796, some 5,216 infants were sent there, of whom 5,215 died. Between 1796 and 1826, 51,150 infants were admitted to the hospital, of whom 41,524 died”.
Now, it is said that following excavations, no remains or bodies have been found at the sites, yet the volume of deaths doesn’t appear to be disputed. Could this have been an early start to the rather sinister industries we have today, of child trafficking and using of body parts linked to the abortion industry specifically, and by extension the medical establishment.
That was just one of two sites in Ireland, the other being in Cork, and having very little detail about it. Shortly after, the London one opened, and as soon as you see it was petitioned by a ‘philanthropist’, and got many aristocrats and notable people on board, it doesn’t quite look right. Seems it was streamlined into a baby farming enterprise. Taking babies under 12 months, shipping them to the country for education until 4 or 5, then trained to be servants or apprentices and sent to work for your master on contract. Let me guess if any of the recipients of those ‘staff’ were the very same Lords and ladies who endorsed the project. Again making it rather lucrative to force people into giving up their children, or just taking them. And maybe that’s how they managed to control the workforce after a time, because over half of them had been trained and conditioned pretty much from birth. Making them more compliant servants with lower expectations and understanding, as they were meant to have. Keeping them down from day one.
It seems though that any institution that has ever appeared to be there to assist or help, has actually been a cover for a different purpose. And now making it so everyone goes through the same system and conditioning, churning out the next generation of workers and body parts. As it does seem that is all we are viewed as, even if the methods and mechanics of it have changed with the times. And maybe that worked for a couple of hundred years, so the workhouse and schools took over. Children allowed to grow up with their parents again, getting daily conditioning from them as they were trained, and then at school with the societal conditioning of the day. Seems like the wheels have come off that one a bit recently, so who knows what kind of institutions we will have in the future. But if we judge on them on past and present ones, we would do best to avoid them as if our lives depended on it…

On The Clock
A side piece that came from my article Seven Again.
While reading through the Mayan seven cave myth, a picture caught my eye, and of course the reason for the cave myth. Called Chicomoztoc – The Place of Seven Caves, they say it is where they believe humans emerged from. Then going on to say that the caves are merely a representation of the human body and its orifices, and signifying the womb. And that may well be, but the picture made me think of another recent post I did, about cabbage patches. Yes, it’s one of those types of articles, and a further speculation on the idea in A Train Of Thought.
Because that too mentions certain peoples emerging from caves. But in a whimsical, fictional setting of a strange cave in the Georgia Mountains, which I have already speculated being connected to the other Georgia Mountains which happen to be named The Caucasus Mountains. I likened it to the word Caucasian, and the wild idea that is where white people emerged from, and the tale has been twisted and rewritten, the names repurposed and scattered away from the source. Perhaps. But the fictional tale around the first one mentioned, is that babies were grown in cabbage patches, then placed with the family they were meant to be with, or who purchased them I guess.
Strange that we have various tales like that, like the stork bringing them down from above, or that they grow in reeds, or can just be cultivated in gardening patches. I have also wondered about an alternative growth process for our species, in a fictional sense of course, in my short story – In the Mountain. And looked at what methods they talk of for the future of breeding in Pod Life and Pod Life 2. All quite disturbing and should be fiction, but isn’t. There are many creation myths thought that talk of different peoples or races emerging from the underground, of different species even appearing when needed as saviours and keeping people safe underground until the surface became habitable again. Now, if that were true, and part of a cycle, it would explain why periodically people would come up from what appeared to be underground. And if there was a significant gap between being down there, and those left at the surface who may have survived, could that be enough to consider them from underground? I have my other theories about what may have gone on down there in my articles In The Old Underground and One Thing Leads to Another.
And we do indeed have great empty and abandoned underground cities, and sites which appear to have had purpose, although evidence of actual people dwelling in them isn’t so forthcoming. Only the ideas around it. And there is a strange theory I have forming, of tying together all the other theories, how they could all work and be true at the same time, flat and round earth, the firmament, the ice wall, space, disasters set on a timer coming to pass when they are meant to. It could all be part of the same mechanism, like a watch and all its component pieces, ticking round to the big moment where it resets the clock to start the process over. And maybe that’s what happens to us, people, the world and civilisation.
Each time there is a cataclysm, it gets reset and it’s a race against time to uncover the truth of what came before, find the clues and what was left behind after the last events, searching the skies, land and seas for it. To find the source and stop what at first seems to be inevitable, or maybe not to stop it, could be to try and harness it, or change it, feeding stories and a fabricated history to people so they will never know the truth of how it came to be, and why it gets destroyed and reset every time. Because it was going to whether people are here or not, whether they are bad or not, whether they know or not. It seems we are all bound by the same fate, even if that is just time and mortality chasing us down, but perhaps there really is something bigger working to a clock, and we just happen to be on it…

Seven Again
It appears to be a running theme throughout various ancient writings, scripts, ideas and throughout the ages is used again and again. And it may be that it isn’t actually relevant in the bigger scheme of things, and it has merely become familiar so we replicate it, as we sometimes do. But could there be more to it?
Seven Deadly Sins – covered in my article Seven already.
Seven Virtues – the not so talked about opposite to the sins, as it seems they take a centre stage for apparently representing what humans are really like. But there are characteristics that are seen as good, wholesome and well, virtuous.
Seven Chambered Cave – in Mayan folklore they have a place called Chicomoztoc – The Place of Seven Caves which is where they say is the location that birthed humanity.
Seven ancient wonders – not all still with us, or entirely intact if they are. But still impressive, especially if they really all were as they say (Colossus of Rhodes, Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and Lighthouse of Alexandria).
Seven Seas – a funny one really, as we have one ocean technically, five named oceans, and sometimes seven seas. So, depends on your reasoning and which geographical definition you want to go by. But I remember it from Sinbad the Sailor stories, and tales of the seven seas.
Seven Continents – for each of the landmasses we have, again, sometimes it’s four, or five, and in times past people have used the term continent for much smaller lands, but today we know it as seven.
Seven handfuls of soil – in the Muslim faith it is said that Allah sent angels to collect handfuls of soil all of different colours, from which man was created. It is also believed that there are seven skies or heavens, so it features more than once there.
Seven Noahide Laws – and the Jewish faith too with the Noahide Laws, although it is said there may have only been 6 originally, but today we find ourselves with seven.
Seven Anunnaki – within the ancient histories of the Sumerians and around the Mesopotamia region the religions had deities called the Anunnaki, seven in fact, who reside within the Underworld and serve as judges of humanity.
I’m sure there are others, and many possible reasons for it, or possibly no real reason at all anymore. Time and change moving on our thought processes and starting points for such reasoning. Pieced together from fragments of ideas or occasionally ‘evidence’, sometimes with very little or no context. So, we do the best we can with what we’ve got, but you can’t deny, it does seem like we are missing an awful lot…

Trees
Banyan Tree – A really cool tree, apparently originating in India but has found its way to Florida and Hawaii. Three places really not that close to each other, so we can presume that someone was involved in that perhaps, or the wild theory could be that all those landmasses were in fact joined once, and the only tell-tale sign of solid evidence of that being the flora and fauna. But because we have a crafty way of just saying we took it with us, it can never be proven. And to be fair, they often can cite the exact person and time they took it, but you would need to be specific for that, so people don’t give it any further thought. Also interesting as a tree as it’s known as a strangler fig, which is a tree known for invading other species and treating them as a host, taking hold well above ground and spending the first half of its life not rooted to the ground at all they say. The largest of these is in Florida, which I have actually seen myself, and it is impressive I will admit.
Yew Trees – native to these islands and known for their appearance in graveyards in the UK, apparently because they ‘thrive on the dead’ as it’s said. It being suggested that they absorb the vapours produced by putrefaction. They are also quite heavily steeped in mythology too they say.
Easter Island – no trees for a time, or so we are told. The story being that they chopped down all the trees and then couldn’t build boats or something, and ended up trapped there. With skirmishes, sea voyagers visiting and massive stone carved heads that are speculated upon.
Baobab Trees – these are pretty awesome trees too with a very distinctive look, but perhaps are another clue towards landmasses of the past, where it is already suggested through animals and geology that they were once joined, in the ideas of Pangea and Gondwana. Although I have wondered about it being a joined land in more recent times, and perhaps the ideas of flooding and land levels being susceptible to change could have played their part in the rearrangement or splitting of landmasses. But these trees are native to mainland Africa, Madagascar, and Australia, so make of that what you will. Their extra skill other than just being a tree, is that it can hold vast amounts of water, and is a lifeline for many where it grows.
No trees grow above a certain altitude, and obviously they don’t grow underwater either – although can survive being quite submerged for a time. Mangroves being the exception to this. But almost as though trees are a gauge of an environment and how well it can sustain life, all forms of it. We also can’t survive above a certain limit, or live underwater, and require certain conditions to thrive and reproduce, and it does seem that where we have trees, it’s easier for us to live and thrive than where we do not. Or at least that is how it appears. We can make do in deserts, but it’s not ideal. Add a bit of tree coverage or some foliage generally, and suddenly you have shade and an opportunity for a more elaborate ecosystem to develop. Limited ecosystems means limited opportunity for growth, but survival is possible of course.
They are easily seeded, by way of their own mechanisms and various animals and birds helping this along, and to spread then further. And they reproduce, they develop ecosystems, they help to clean the air and hold the environment together, literally in most cases, finding that once tree clearances occur, often flooding and landslides will follow in the years thereafter. They manage the land, have respect for each other while growing and filter what is around them as best they can. Think of all the apocalyptic scenes they like to show you in films, baron wastelands, dead stalky trees looking bleak and hopeless to signify no life or hope. But if you suddenly add a few tall, green and healthy trees, it doesn’t look so bad does it?

Are You Not Entertained? – article reading
Nineteen Eighty-Four Ever
That dysfunctional societal model that is being pushed, and day by day they scramble for the contracts, laws and regulations to make it so. The Ministry of Monitoring getting ready to be legally involved in your most intimate online communications and daily routines. Like they weren’t already, but now it’s out there for everyone to see and be aware of. That’s what they meant by transparency, not so you get to know about or stop wrongdoings and know what all levels of society are doing. And by exposing the worst of it, helps to encourage people to call for their own censorship and monitoring. Perhaps thinking that for the sake of stopping the bad, we all have to be monitored and give up freedoms.
It meant they would be transparent about taking away your rights, and that you no longer have a say in anything corporate or democratic. Knowingly allowing them to take them away because they told you it was for ‘the greater good’. And to be honest, it kind of looks now that it was all an illusion of democracy and freedom that was in place. Where they led us all down a merry path, and hardly anyone noticed the twists and turns blindsiding and distracting us until we find ourselves here. A dead end of war, greed and ideological wants.
An almost startling breakdown of what once was has occurred in what appears to be a very short time span, and those who used to appear to serve the public, very clearly no longer do. I find it strange that while showing they are no longer competent, they continue to wield power. When you all know someone has no authority or power in real life, but everyone pretends and perpetuates the delusion. I can see very much why people likened it all in the beginning to The Emperor’s New Clothes.
And this is why perhaps stories, Fairy Tales and other sayings and metaphors stay with us through generations and centuries. To remind those who face strange, perilous, dark and unsavoury times or people, that others have been there too. In a situation of their time of course, but the general threads of observations and realisations sometimes are not time specific. Being relatable even after hundreds of years, because the general greed of tyranny and the power hungry enslavers, is also timeless and runs seamlessly through the ages. Until now. It seems as though the seams are splitting as they try and pull it together, and the whole ugly bag is looking like its going to collapse and disintegrate. And of course, I have already wondered how much of the ‘entertainment and propaganda’ over the decades is there to help program you towards their goal in Prepped for Disaster, or Clever Programming? But that is a double edged speculation of course, because while it may be they create the mental landscape required for a certain level of acceptance. It can be used to create a hesitancy and fear against something which ultimately may be good, steering you away from the ideas of advancement, because you think it means enslavement.
But whatever the methods and techniques used to achieve the sleeping masses for decades, you can’t deny it seemed to work. Slowly infiltrating each aspect of people’s lives, being part of your life ‘from cradle to grave’ as they put it. Doesn’t sound so friendly, helpful and benign anymore does it now? Not once you know how much money you can generate for ‘the system’ throughout that journey, covered in What Are We Worth? Being able to educate, feed and heal yourself means they are not involved, at all, hence why we seem to now have a staggering amount of rules and laws to limit people’s ability to be outside of that system. All the institutions are there to take away responsibility from you, and to then be responsible for you in whichever way they see fit. And you can see if you look around, how many people are still looking to someone or something for guidance, as they have been trained to – even still not quite being able to fully extract themselves from thinking they are there to help. Expectations need to be updated, and quickly, because what was no longer is and a new way is coming. It’s just looking a bit precarious of what that might actually be.
