An Experiment, But A Big One

~ MKW Publishing ~ 9 Comments

Many times we have been subject to experiments and tests, knowingly and unknowingly. Medical tests, exams, IQ tests, competitions and grades. But it would seem that while there are tests we see and know of, there are the ones we don’t. And the consequences and results of said tests and experiments can either have a big fall out, go undetected for years, or quite possibly never be revealed. When they are however, it can often go a long way towards understanding how we are viewed, and why it may serve you well to not trust those who pull the strings of society. At the start of this last few years though, it was stated quite clearly that this new drug to be rolled out, was in fact experimental, and only approved under emergency authorisation. That was the first part of the IQ test I guess, where people were openly told what was occurring, and wanted to take part. Then there was extra literature leaning towards the trial ending in 2023 and 2024 I think for a couple of the products, yet still people lined up and seemed to think it was fine, some even relishing the idea of taking part in a trial, to help forward scientific understanding and be part of ‘the cure’. Well, if you have watched I am Legend (or the original Omega Man), you will know how it all goes bad when the cure creates something far worse than the disease and destroys humanity. Just a thought.

And it’s interesting to me to listen to and watch a Dr Corbett discussing the questions surrounding the validity of viruses, and in particular HIV. Potentially in my mind, it is manufactured, and if exists was distributed amongst certain populations perhaps, so they could then use them for other tests. And to test more drugs, which often harm and have a high mortality in themselves. People handing themselves over for a slow and monitored death.

Factor8 scandal – blood scandal of the 80’s but happened in the 70’s and 80’s – where estimates say up to 6,000 people were ‘accidently’ infected with contaminated blood containing Hep c and HIV in some cases. And as a side note wiki says that during that time the NHS seem to have infected around 25,000 – 30,000 people with viruses by way of blood transfusions. Quite a staggering number, isn’t it? Would be even stranger if that blood was given out on purpose wouldn’t it, to get something synthetic circulating. But then you would know what to look for when testing for it perhaps, which is how you might track something, making sure it does what it is meant to. Maybe.

SV40 – “where millions of polio vaccines were distributed which happened to be contaminated with SV40 – From 1955 to 1963, an estimated 10-30% of polio vaccines administered in the US were contaminated with simian virus 40 (SV40). The virus came from monkey kidney cell cultures used to make polio vaccines at that time.” A simian virus that was known to cause cancers and tumours in mice. Another shocker when I first learned about it, again thinking of it from an accidental perspective, believing they could miss something like that, and just chalking it up to ‘the greatness of science makes some mistakes’. Foolish thinking I now believe. But it seems obvious when you delve a bit, that many of the ‘viruses’ that we apparently see that cross from animals to humans, is because we have been tinkering, testing, and mutating things ourselves, trying to circumvent nature in some cases. I always thought it odd we would have biolabs too, where we store and keep the most terrible pathogens, for you know, research. Boggles the mind, which is why I ended up giving it further thought and time.

These examples I reference are just a handful I know about, and there are a multitude from the US, with all their different projects and special files, but here are a few more from the UK, and why I find it so hard to believe, why others find it so hard to believe, that their government would harm them.

“Between 1953 and 1964 top secret trials were carried out using a chemical concoction of zinc cadmium sulphide to simulate how a cloud would disperse biological agents. The unsuspecting population was sprayed covertly with the poisonous compound at least 76 times.”- Cadmium spraying in UK – 1950’s

And we know the military have been using their own foot soldiers as a steady conveyor of guinea pigs for over a century now, strangely with the ‘Spanish Flu’ apparently originating in Ft. Riley in Kansas, and ‘Swine Flu’ also starting at a military base, Ft. Dix in Jersey in 1976. But they are at the helm of many of these ‘tests’ or ‘accidents’.

Nerve gas experiments on soldiers in the UK – “From 1945 to 1989, Porton exposed more than 3,400 human “guinea pigs” to nerve gas. It seems probable that Porton has tested more human subjects with nerve gas, for the longest period of time, than any other scientific establishment in the world” – The past Porton Down can’t hide

“A government report just released provides for the first time a comprehensive official history of Britain’s biological weapons trials between 1940 and 1979. Many of these tests involved releasing potentially dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms over vast swaths of the population without the public being told.” – Millions were in germ war tests, listing over 100 covert operations. Also interestingly in that article it says “The report reveals that military personnel were briefed to tell any ‘inquisitive inquirer’ the trials were part of research projects into weather and air pollution.”

So, I personally find it incredibly easy with the evidence so far presented and what I know, to believe that our government, and all governments, are hiding things from us, and do not have our best interests at heart. They have theirs at heart, and use strategy and safety as tools of control, and mechanisms of fear to keep their wheel of industry turning. With each little nut and bolt, every cog and gear playing their part to make it work. That’s probably why they want robots to replace people, or to roboticize the people they might need, because people as we are now, aren’t quite fitting the mould they have spent decades shaping us for, or we did, and now that purpose is done, they have a new mould to fill. So, we are surplus to requirement in their mind perhaps, but they need a way to ‘scale us back’ without it appearing as though they are, well not to everyone anyway. And of course, there is the option that it could all be a carefully crafted conspiracy, and they want you to think there was a plan that nefarious organisations are trying to coordinate a world takeover, because in real life things like that just don’t happen. Do they?

Conversion, Can Work Both Ways

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

I always thought it seemed entirely possible, some people have been reverse engineered mentally, many in fact. So, rather than just end up the way they were by normal experiences and natural environment alone, there has been a great amount of influence and manipulation to steer the personality, or behaviour to the desired result. Behaviour modification programs have been with us for quite some time, under the guise of ‘research’ at first, or ‘marketing’ then obviously is taken by organisations and institutions that wish to control people, what they think, what they say and ultimately, what they do.

A couple of my articles already have already touched on this – The three D’s of conversion under Coercion, and Nudge Nudge, but moving on from internal lab experiments like Pavlov and Skinner had conducted, around the 60’s and 70’s, the various institutions decided they needed bigger test groups, real life settings and unsuspecting candidates. Ethics seems to have been adapted as necessary, if it seems too edgy or is being questioned, say it’s military and for national security. That seems to have been the golden ticket for much, going back quite some time. Say something is under threat, and it seems you can do anything, as long as you say you are trying to save them you can literally do the complete opposite, but as long you say it, that’s fine. Apparently. Trust what people do, not what they say, and if the two match up no problem.

They also spend a lot of money and time working out our behaviours so they could ‘motivate’ us to buy what they wanted, and think how they wanted towards things, highlighted here in Consumerism. But I had already thought on from it being just about shopping habits when I was much younger, when the argument of computer games and movies came up all those years ago in the media. It was being said that the level of violence and horror children were being exposed to, would be harmful to them and would affect their mentality. I was into horror films, and loved computer games when they first became affordable and mainstream, spent time like everyone else indulging in them. All that carefully crafted information to go in, in whichever format the input was being presented, either books, films or games, or from the media. You can’t help but accept that some of it is retained, or helps to form your view on things, or think through scenarios you would otherwise have never even been exposed to the concept, let alone a full simulated version of it. And for the people who are able to imagine and picture things in mind, maybe more than others, are they affected more? Did they work out that with clever triggers, followed up by certain conditions they could create a few ‘abnormals’ as I will call them. It’s highly likely that some people have strayed off the map on their own, with the overload of stimulation and simulation going on, it can get too much. But when you add into that maybe let’s say, anti-psychotic drugs, which seems to apparently be a running theme with school shooters in America, could that be what leads to a breaking down of being able to view the world through clear eyes, or with a clear mind?

Being disconnected from reality, as it might be called, is something that cannot really be defined, despite it being ‘a thing’. Whose reality are we going by to judge the scale? Is it really reality you are disconnected from? Or are you connected to actual reality, and it’s the alternate one telling you to drift off into it and drawing you in with bright, shiny, moving objects? I take it that they are talking about the shared reality, which is discussed more in Separate realities, but the version we all have to take part in interacting with people and society. Also makes me wonder, would we notice so much, if parts of the simulated reality started to creep into real life? Many have likened recent events to episodes of the TV series Black Mirror, which I confess I haven’t seen, but would make sense give my other speculations on Prepped for Disaster, or clever programming?, that there is a reason it all seems to familiar, and recognisable. Because it is meant to, making it much easier to shape and steer the public perception of something.

I also thought it could be applicable with certain deviances and dysfunctions within society currently, which are not new, but seem rather prevalent at the moment. Paedophilia, and the way it appears to have infiltrated every part and level of society. Entertainment, fashion, institutions, the media etc, and all the other areas we already knew of. So, is it that there has been an explosion of them, and of sexual deviants generally? Or is it the media perception telling us that? Or, have the people shapers been carefully crafting a type of person they wish to be prevalent within society? Through timely exposures, and clever marketing, films, news stories and generally using all they know about how people develop with sexuality. I wondered this also through reading about some of the ideals of conversion therapy, and its early experiments and uses on people. And it occurred to me, if they could use that repeatedly on someone to try and stop them being homosexual, surely, they would have tried it the other way round too, because that’s the type of thing they would do. You know, ‘just to see if it works’. Then apply that to any type of behaviour, sexual or otherwise, and imagine they could then create people with either short or long-term afflictions or desires, which suite a purpose for them. Either to create industry, push an agenda, or have as tool for later use within society. And of course, it could well be that it really was always that common, just hidden, and it’s only now it seems to be held over so many, in so many walks of life, I can’t help thinking there is something else, encouraging it, creating it and facilitating it. For what you might ask, well, leverage. Until they get their way of making it accepted, or at least that seems to the be a push they are going for, could be another distraction. We shall see.

But while all that has been chugging along, they have also been converting the average person and mindset, towards ratings, likes, verification, shares – they are all part of a validation credit system. That may not be in the same monetary terms like the financial social credit system, but it is the other side of the same coin. Financial credit system equals the set up they show you with the QR codes, restricted access, banking, travel and restrictions etc, all based on your economical position within their game of society. And there is your social credit score – or social standing as I guess it used to be called, which will now run alongside it, and be part of it. The amount of data we give them on a daily basis of our like, dislikes, thoughts, fears, dreams, hopes and wants, is more than enough to garner the info needed to know what to do next. How to flick that switch in people, that was put there eons ago and we probably weren’t even aware of it. Like sleeper cells I guess, that we have all been programmed with a different set of instructions along a main theme, or have been party to a subconscious experiment, drawing people in when the time comes. Giving it a central point to collect and mutate, but within restricted boundaries, so the outcome can always be limited, because you set the parameters, and everyone plays within them. If you only play the game of Monopoly, it is unlikely you will ever win a game of Risk, if you catch my drift…

Just Passing Through

~ MKW Publishing ~ 4 Comments

A cross between Ellis Island, Heathrow and Alcatraz with the general overtones of a Victorian work house. Or as we know it, Britain. It would appear that lovely green and pleasant land we were brought up to believe this was, is no longer so, and potentially was always a myth and part of the illusion. Because none of this is new, what we see around us, it’s just a ramped up out in the open version. We have had class divides, credit systems, and ways to keep people down for more than an age or two. Royalty and lords of the manor dictating and ruling, politicians and lords of the house, lining their pockets and futures at the expense of everyone else’s. Walls, fences and boundaries to keep you off their land, now even more so with corporations and institutions being the face of it, or lack of face of it rather, making it all the harder to focus on one person being the problem, they have many. Boards and committees, CEO, CFO, executives etc. Ways to dilute the responsibility or side step it altogether. Or, they will throw one of their own to the wolves, when necessary, as a show of good faith, I guess. But like the hydra, cut off one head, and there are many more to replace it. It’s like a well-oiled machine now.

But it really does seem, when you think about it, that Britain is a bit of a hub for trafficking of people. Funny really, because you would think as an island, it would be easier to control that kind of thing, and manage effectively. Which is why you realise it’s orchestrated. People are a huge commodity, and have been traded and used, for as long as we know of. I’ll use Britain as the main example as that is where I grew up, and going by what is written as accepted history, it seems we have stolen our own people as well as others, but there are British, French, German, Dutch and other European colonies all over the world. When I had learned of it all as a child, I stupidly thought it was like a magical adventure, people would have been offered new lives, free travel and an opportunity to settle and make a life in newly discovered awesome places. Not quite comprehending the sweep and clear missions to get rid of the people already there. And learning years later of what occurred to many sent to Australia, who in fact were taken from orphanages, and even lied to that their parents had died, just to have a workforce and people to condition to their way. That’s where I realise that child labour or slavery serves a purpose over adults. Children are less likely to revolt, or question things, or know how to organise. Also, easier to make them believe they are alone with no-one to help them, must have been awful for them, thinking as well they were going to start a new wonderful life, until you got there and were treated like crap. Perhaps then making for a rather downtrodden population thereafter, prone to trauma triggers because the whole society started as that. Just a theory, who knows for sure. Here is another quite stunning piece of history, which given what we know of ‘care services’ and child trafficking today, raises many questions in my mind.

“The Orphan Train Movement was a supervised welfare program that transported children from crowded Eastern cities of the United States to foster homes located largely in rural areas of the Midwest. The orphan trains operated between 1854 and 1929, relocating about 200,000 children.”

I also find it interesting that it coincides with the Industrial revolution period, and notably in my mind, a series of World’s fairs –

From Wikipedia – Industrialization (1851–1938) – The first era, the era of “industrialization”, roughly covered the years from 1850 to 1938. In these years, world expositions were largely focused on trade and displayed technological advances and inventions. World expositions were platforms for state-of-the-art science and technology from around the world. The world expositions of 1851 London, 1853 New York, 1862 London, 1876 Philadelphia, Paris 1878, 1888 Barcelona, 1889 Paris, 1891 Prague, 1893 Chicago, 1897 Brussels, 1900 Paris, 1904 St. Louis, 1915 San Francisco, and 1933–34 Chicago were notable in this respect

I wonder if some of those fairs, were also a handy way to relocate people, and buy and sell what they needed for the industrious projects. People. I’m sure it’s no secret they would acquire skilled people at these ‘events’, but there is always the side you aren’t obviously aware of, and often more than one purpose for something so grand and opulent. Many questions arise when you start to look at the details of some of them. Weird passports to get into them, workbooks, grades and numbers being assigned to the ‘guests’. Seems more like an odd training camp or university, rather than just a gathering of inventions and science of the future. Like I said, interesting.

But at the moment, it’s really not a secret, and in fact for quite some time, it looks as though people are being deliberately encouraged to come here, but not as a registered citizen by normal means that others have to follow. No, no. They want them to arrive with nothing essentially. So, why is that? So they can give them things? Or perhaps they require new citizens, and it’s easier to just sort of poach someone else’s. Often after you have ruined the area those people may need to leave from, convenient huh? But recently it seems more and more are coming from all sorts of places, and ending up here. A tiny island, often cold and wet with limited land options after all those walls and boundaries add up. Can’t be for the ordinary opportunities you or I may be thinking of. More like a Mos Eisley kind of feel to it, rather than Little House on the Prairie. So, would anyone notice if a few hundred undocumented people went missing? Or more? Who would know? It may well be that there is more than one opportunity going on, we shall see. Either way, it’s a shit storm that has been created and as usual, the people On the ground will be the pawns in it…

Farming, But Not As You Might Think

~ MKW Publishing ~ 4 Comments

It seems that while we have been busy and industrious with farming animals, we have been subject to a similar process. That at first might not seem as obvious, but when I gave it thought, seems quite close. Keeping in mind we have different purposes for various animals, not all are food.

Some are treated to ideal conditions, for the ‘best’ meat, given the best food, looked after and prized for competition or breeding. Others are kept in crowded conditions and restricted from natural growth and development. You still get a product you make money from, just not as good, or as much. So, you need lots more of those to turn a profit. Culling when necessary, medicating and feeding as needed until you have what you want. But it all comes down to the bottom line, the profits. And as we know, corners are cut, ethics misplaced and standards vary according to requirements it seems.

Even zoos are included, and are also a good example. Where even when we try and mimic a smaller version of their natural habitat, they still aren’t quite happy or content. And are watched all the time, monitored and studied.

Now apply that to people. Different levels of society, they create the environment and put us in it, often observing the results. Built up city areas are akin to battery farms to me. Towns are like the free-range version. Country living must be like the zoos perhaps or conservation reserves, where you have more freedom and area, but still not free. Then you have the zoo keepers, the game wardens, farmers and owners, who get to decide where and when. The ones that have unlimited everything, but seem to want to tag, monitor and control each and every one of those animals. Like an obsession that has raged so far out of control, it’s turned into the ugliest monster. But as far as we know, we aren’t animals, and they aren’t different from us – they just have manoeuvred themselves to have the upper hand. You may be aware of a famous line from Animal Farm, that seems as apt now as it always did.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”.

That’s the ethos behind any kind of ‘equality’ they profess to be shooting for. And we are the cattle, just some are treated better than others. They claim ownership over us, in some cases take our young, decide on programs and systems for us to ‘fit into’ by whatever method or means necessary. We are used as experimental fodder for their ideas and tests, and are the weapon and victim of them. As we know you can separate certain animals from their group, and get them to perform all sorts of functions under the right ‘training and conditioning’. Laying the scene for what might appear to be a crazy, or outrageous aberration from what we call ‘the norm’, because maybe it was orchestrated to be that way. Just as they say it is quite well known that after sprinkler systems came in, firemen weren’t quite as in demand as they used to be, so some started taking to arson, to give them a purpose. And I realised that has happened with so much, which may well have started with ‘good intentions’ but once the purpose is served, no-one ever seems to just step down, as the job is no longer there. They either fight to keep what is already gone, or find ways to make sure there is a need for that, instead of adapting and taking on a new role. Many things that should have moved on, haven’t, because people want to keep milking it for as long as possible. Series that never end spring to mind, or remakes, and the never-ending franchise that you realise is stuck on a rinse and repeat cycle. Just as we are. Doomed to not only keep making the same mistakes over and over, but each time bringing in new ones, and throwing logic and reason out the window, for what seems like very little benefit.

The animals held in some kind of captivity don’t seem to be themselves, just as we aren’t, making the best of your situation because there is no other choice. Or that is what we are led to believe. Imagine, if you opened the doors to the enclosures for the animals, would they stand around and hesitate to leave, wondering where they are going to get their next meal from? Would they stay because they know no different, and familiar is better than unknown? This is where we do differ from the animals, as we apparently have far more reasoning skills and ability to analyse a situation, thinking through the outcome. And that’s where they tie us up, with worry and fear in mind, paralysing us into staying put in body. Disconnecting the two, and trying to be the guide you are supposed to have internally. They want people to be easily distracted, easily led and trusting. Looking for handouts and a pat on the back by your ‘keeper’. Waiting for their scraps and to feel like their favourite, you know, like teacher’s pet? And what is that, an animal…

Santa, a Christmas Industry

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

It’s part of big capitalism, Christmas, and as it fast approaches, you can’t help but notice signs of it, adverts, products, Christmas lights and trees, which I must admit, love seeing. But with that comes certain pressures that have now become a tradition, as well as the merriment that used to accompany it. Over the years though, we have seen Consumerism really hit us hard around this time of year, to encourage maximum spending, often leading to debt for some. That’s when I realised years ago it was a bit of a con, seeing adverts for Christmas savings schemes, I thought it was ridiculous that people couldn’t save their own themselves and needed to save all year round for a one off ‘event’. I loved presents as much as the next kid, coveting many things throughout the year, hoping when the time came, your list of requests would magically appear on Christmas morning under the tree. Having no concept really of cost, durability, or whether it was even practical.

Then it all changed slightly, and I feel a certain catalogue contributed to this. At least in the UK anyway, the Argos catalogue. Each year, around Christmas it would be great to just flick through it, looking at all the games and toys, looking at all the things you thought you needed to have. The difference though, is that all the prices were there, giving a vague sense of value, by listing the cost for all to see, including the children. I know some completely overlook it, and if you are trying to negotiate for a particular toy or present, should imagine it’s quite important. Because someone has to pay for it, either by using hard earned money, or borrowing, and paying it back. On the glad and sorry it used to be called. Glad you had it, sorry you have to pay for it. And as I got older, that’s how I saw it, and made it so that if I couldn’t afford it, I couldn’t have it. Debt isn’t a happy situation, as I am sure many know, so I decided that it definitely wasn’t a scenario I would create for myself, just for Christmas.

So, Santa Claus or Sinterklaas, story taken from a saint eighteen hundred years ago or so, and given a marketing makeover in the 1840’s. Apparently by way of a poem, and then Santa as we know him today in his red suit and with a big white beard was added in by an artist.

“This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, children’s books, family Christmas traditions, films, and advertising.”

It seems that there is also a companion to Santa, one they couldn’t get rid of in folklore so it’s been incorporated. Or was that the true story, and they twisted it so it wouldn’t appear as it was. Quite dark and creepy. I’m talking of Krampus, recently having a slight revival with movies and television, but that was who dealt with the naughty children, with his horns, cloven hooves and a rather devilish appearance, but often with a black or brown colour. Sounds like two sides of the same coin, split to make them seem like good cop, bad cop. One looks like the devil, the other dresses in red. Make of that what you will. And being honest, Santa himself (as many have pointed out along the way is an anagram of Satan), is a bit of a creepy concept, with the idea being that while you and your family sleep, a stranger sneaks silently into your house and leaves gifts for children (or kidnaps and tortures the naughty ones, see Krampus tales for that, who also sounds very much like the child snatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). Sounds awfully like stranger danger and a bit of grooming there! And it is grooming of sorts, just by companies and corporations, to perpetuate the myth and tale using the parents as a conduit, to back-up the continued consumer industry that demands your allegiance, for life it seems. Start them young as they say.

They also appear to have thought of an angle towards resistance to this mega marketing machine, with a jokey surface and serious implications to anyone who doesn’t get on board with the routine, or are lacking in what they dubbed ‘Christmas spirit’. I’ll use the two examples that spring to mind.

The Grinch – thoroughly marketed and revived, through cartoon, film and books, most people know the story. But no worries, because he comes good at the end, realising how great Christmas was after all. You might notice that as a theme here.

Ebeneezer Scrooge – the serious tale of a grumpy old miser who after some shocking experiences induced by three ghosts, suddenly sees the error of his ways, and indulges in Christmas from that point on. I feel these two characters also make it easy for people to ridicule people who don’t want to engage in the superficial side of it, or who just simply aren’t interested. You get called scrooge, or that you are being grinchy. Not by accident I feel.

Nightmare before Christmas – a favourite of mine, and is slightly different but relevant I feel. The king of Halloween is bored with his yearly routine, and while out wandering, falls into Christmas Land. Where the feeling of glee and joy brought him a great and overwhelming feeling himself. So, long story short, he steals Christmas by kidnapping Santa, and goes about delivering Halloween style presents for Christmas. I do recommend it, as it’s quite an interesting film all round. But in trying to replace Christmas, it becomes dark and ruined, and apparently only Santa is the one who can restore this. And, the snow. Quite pivotal it turns out. But joy prevails when Christmas can be had, as is reinforced time and time again.

And in the last couple of years though, this seasonal holiday has been wielded as a point of ransom a few times, over lockdowns, now over strikes and financial catastrophe. Because lots of people use the time to visit friends and family, have Christmas parties (as we may remember the politicians getting on with), or people just like to treat themselves or enjoy having some time off. All made harder and, in some cases, no-existent this year, and possibly thereafter. So, although I don’t agree with the spending furore that surrounds this time of year, I do agree with the sentiment of family, friends, making gifts and getting through the dark and cold winter days. Aint nothing wrong with that.

An Attitude of Entitlement

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

We see it a lot these days, an entitled attitude from people, and to be fair it was always there, just not so obvious for a time, sort of. Because we have different levels of it, just as we have a class system, and ‘levels of society’. And let’s be honest, it starts from the top down. We have one family at the helm of our country, who ‘rule’ us, so I believe it begins there, going down through the levels until we see it has filtered through to most areas.

People think they are entitled to things, but let’s look at why that is. The definition of it being as follows –

“Entitlement – believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment”.

And we’ve heard the word privilege enough recently with it being tacked on to a certain people of a pale complexion. But why is that? I always thought I was privileged to have been born and brought up in the UK, realising geographical location plays a massive part of who you end up being. Certain freedoms and opportunities didn’t seem as available for others, so I took that as being privileged. But there are others who have more, and less, on this same island. So, there are grades of privilege once you look beyond the personal aspect. Having a certain surname, or attending particular schools will afford you certain privileges, regardless of your character it would appear. So, I totally understand why people who are told they are privileged because they are white, may laugh a bit, and debate the point. The ‘working class’ have always been looked down on by what they call ‘higher orders’ of society in this country. Which is why it’s slightly bemusing that people try so hard to get elevated to those ‘upper ranks’. Where I guess you too become privileged and can then look down on others? Because it wouldn’t be to help others now, would it? Or that’s what they’ll say until they get there it seems.

But not many start at the bottom, genuinely at the bottom, and work their way up to any position of importance. The ones who are selected, under the pretext of being elected, start a foot or two ahead of others, and often then puts measures in place to ensure others get to go one step forward and two steps back. So where does this implied and followed set of hierarchical privileges stem from? And where does the apparent entitlement to them come in and how has it continued for so long? Now we see a general sense of entitlement has been filtered down to the normal folk of society. Is this so they can add more layers to the privilege cake? So that people will overlook the failings and ineptitude of those ‘privileged elite’ because you think you can get a step up near to it? I wonder.

But why do so many people think they are entitled? Because they have been told they are, without really questioning or understanding it perhaps. Missing the benefit to the ‘privileged elite’ of you believing you are entitled and acting as such. Making demands, waiting for your leg up or hand out, and casually falling for their trap. Because the system is rigged and we are all set up to fail unless you are already in the club. It just needs to look like an unknown makes it, or a rags to riches story to warm the heart and fuel the dreams they want you be distracted with. Or at least that’s how it appears on the ground when you really start to pull the thread. So tidy and neat on the face of it, but then a few holes, a couple of loose ends, and things that just don’t add up if you look beyond the smooth frontage of it all.

So, it suits their purpose for us to be stepping on each other, and scrabbling to get the bigger crumb they thrown down every now and then. Wanting you to want to be the crumb thrower, and not part of ‘the rabble’ pushing and shoving for crumbs. And while that occurs, they can breeze through and make their changes and adjustments to the world around you. And if you notice and start to have a problem with it, they tell you it’s you, you’re the problem. Or find a way to rid themselves of that problem, or to program it out of people using laws, rules, medications, education etc.

They can never really quite factor in all the variables though. Despite the determined consistencies, there will always be the ‘rogue element’ that persists in disrupting the perceived outcome.

Be the rogue element, not a determined consistency.

Shared Experience

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

I had already speculated on the ‘opportunity’ a shared event creates and used films to illustrate my point – one article being Films, real life twisted or just fantasy? . I’ll do so again here though, because many don’t seem to realise what kind of power that has, in the collective psyche of people, and how it can be used to further mould and shape society.

The Island (2005) – a stark view of something that is discussed in my piece Perhaps, where people are bred as replacement organs for rich people, but they are kept underground with no knowledge of the real world or their true purpose. Instead, they ‘imprint’ them and condition them to believe that there was a catastrophe, a virus in fact. And the world outside is so toxic, they have to stay down there, hoping one day to win their ‘lottery’ and go to a pathogen free island where ‘you can live a normal life’. The whole society functions on that premise, until someone starts questioning things, as is the way. But I found it interested how the overseer (Sean Bean in this film), had quite a well-developed God complex going on, and took great delight in explaining how they were bred to believe they were special and only educated to the level of a 15 year old, which seemed to keep them in line for the most part. Seems a bit like how we are treated don’t you think? Or is it just me that sees it?

Book of Eli – this is a great film, well done, atmospheric, gritty. And is about a disaster happening, although it is a vague briefly mentioned ‘event’ that was a bright flash, which blinded lots of people, and then everything went to shit. We step into the story after 30 years has elapsed, and it’s worth a watch. Even just for Gary Oldman’s brilliant portrayal of someone obsessed with finding a bible. Because with that, he knows he can control people, even more so that shown. Because what we are led to believe is, if everything did go to shit, or there was a real danger to behold, that we would all scatter and try and save ourselves with no thought for humanity. Apart from maybe one or two lone ‘heroes’ to save the day or give hope. The film The Road would be an even more desolate and grim look at what they would like to think people would turn into. I don’t doubt the capability, but I question the continued conditions that would be necessary to create such a landscape.

There are a few films I will mention together here as they have something similar to me – Resident Evil, Greenland, The Day after Tomorrow, 2012, Outbreak, Deep Impact – and I guess any of the films that have ‘natural disaster’ or virus as the headlining event, with huge amounts of drama unfolding, survivors and a new horizon often at the end, not always a good one, as Resident evil showed, in a never-ending cycle of rinse and repeat. They like that method, and to be honest, if it works, why not. Gets a bit boring though if you happen to notice it. In real life and films.

If people have been exposed to the same information, education, propaganda, media and conditioning, it makes it much easier to make that group accept something, or act in the way you would like with the correct triggers, if you can get most people on board. And anyone not playing ball, gets pushed out, excluded, or shouted down. It also helps people to feel familiar with each other, gives them a social bond and sort of identity in that place and time by ‘experiencing’ an event.

But there will now be a ‘shared collective experience’ that seems so useful a tool in many a movie. And helpful to separate again

Dark City – is a film I mention time and time again, if you haven’t watched it, I recommend it. But this movie is the inverted version of the above, where the do the opposite to people. Give them no shared history, or events, or place in time, and tampering with their memories and identities, leading to lost and rather robotic people. Until one person ‘wakes up’ during a memory procedure, and has to unravel the very odd set up and ‘people’ organising it all.

So, what happens I wondered, if you merge the two. Creating a shared event that we are all bound by, but with no real timeline or end so no closure to move forward from. This could cause a possible destabilisation of being trapped in the same event continuously, without said event actually continuing to occur. And with details being changed, definitions rewritten it’s easy to see how some people might get confused, and start to feel a bit lost. Changing names, rules, areas, time, thoughts, futures and people. It all has a purpose, even if you can’t see it yet, it all paves the way for something else.

Who Is The Doctor?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

A meandering thought this one, of a familiar and well-loved TV series, that’s had it’s ups and downs, but on the whole has spanned decades and is still relatively popular. 23rd November 1963 it began.

Firstly, it was just seeing a word we see a lot these days, of a certain organisation heading and international effort to vaccinate the world. The WHO. Spearheading itself as a medical authority over countries and the world, they say. So, doctors, of the WHO, you can see where I’m going now, yes? Doctor WHO.

Now, a time-travelling doctor that isn’t really a doctor (because he is a Time Lord), that changes his appearance to fit that ‘time’ after his old body has expired or past it’s best. Interesting.

UNIT, the intelligence force on earth that would work with him – the UN formed in 1945, perhaps?

DAVROS – DAVOS – just looking for similarities.

The TARDIS, stuck as a blue police box, perhaps a representation of being protected by ‘the boys in blue’ there.

It seems quite a loose connection, but it’s been noted of late, how much the push for science fiction really took off in the late 50’s to early 60’s and thereafter. Creating huge swathes of entertainment, industry, budgets for space travel etc. It bewitched people. And it also distracted them, making them think and dream of ‘out there’, rather than focus on down here, and over there. It also prepared people by way of programming for future events, gadgets and inventions which seemed ahead of their time. They have everything way before we do, orchestrated conveniently when they established patents and offices for them. A handy way to garner all the new and innovative ideas isn’t it? Making sure certain ones never see the light of day, or are put aside for their own use, or when the time is right for their industries to make the most of it.

Part of the reason they maybe do the ritual of show and tell by way of entertainment and media, could be because they need everyone to be primed for it, to be more accepting of it. Covered in my previous article Prepped for disaster, or clever programming? We are a visual creature and learn a great deal through watching, which has been used against us in this instance I feel. And often we will accept something quite unpalatable because it is familiar, when faced with a complete unknown. They know this. Everything is for a reason and purpose, whether noted or even noticeable, it’s not by accident. So, I’ll keep looking for things that seem to be a piece in an ever growing puzzle. And although sometimes it might seem like a piece doesn’t fit now, I’ll store it for later if it seems important, cause you never know…

Gen Z

~ MKW Publishing ~ 6 Comments

You hear talk of the categories the last few generations have been put into, boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and now Gen Z. In fact, people seem to happily put themselves into the categories sometimes, finding it gives them a sense of being in a certain ‘time’ perhaps, or a generation they can identify with, discussed briefly in A lost generation. But I can’t help wonder about it from other angles, in my usual way.

A wild theory was put out there recently, that that they have added a third strand to the standard double helix structure of the human make-up, and was speculated upon in the grand scheme of symbolising ceremonies that was made public. So, have they added to X and Y, to bring Z into our composition?

Generation Zombie. Suddenly, the idea of Gen Z not sounding so cool. And maybe it isn’t the zombie apocalypse we thought it would be, where they become the real undead and want for brains (although ironically that does still kind of fit). Instead, they become the drug addicted half dead, wanting more of the chemicals and entertainment being dispensed and drip fed to them from above. Or perhaps it is the other original meaning, a will-less and speechless human, as is said in Voodoo folklore and fictional works. Not quite so yet, because although ‘free speech’ may be under attack in the online forum, there is no shortage of people who have something to say, on both sides, myself included. And for now, technology permits us to be able to share, save and reproduce those words, thoughts and ideas on various mediums almost instantaneously. But are we really talking from a place of ‘free speech’ anyway? There are those who say we lack free will already, so whose words and ideas are we talking here? Have they been planted within us through various forms? My articles Films, real life twisted or just fantasy? and Planting the seeds, look at that a bit and I have also written a few on the zombie topic before – The zombie thing, Zombies perhaps and Not quite in control, if you are interested in further ones on that.

But it does seem that something is changing, with people, society and what we know as being human. Changing into what exactly? touched upon it, but as it continues and they talk of putting chips in our brains, assisted suicide, a virtual metaverse, smart cities and various other changes to what we are and how we live, it’s no wonder many people aren’t happy. Because those things do not ultimately benefit the masses, and is not meant for the betterment of the ‘little people’, it’s for the entrapment and containment of them, in the most efficient and hassle free way, for them. And while I point out the difference between us and them, I am aware that they wouldn’t be them, unless they were allowed to become so. We know certain things are bad and line corporations’ pockets, but we do it anyway. We eat the sugar laden foods, we drink the fizzy pop, we take the medications – like good little Eloi.

Because while the book The Time Machine looked at the far future, and how things had become split between the Morlocks and the Eloi, who were just being bred and fed, for the ultimate purpose of being food. I realised maybe that’s where we are now, and it’s not in the future at all, that’s where the story tricked us. It is now, and the Morlocks work hard with their underground world to make everything appear as they need it, so that the above ground Eloi will just go about their daily lives, laughing, eating, not worrying about a thing until they are told to. Hypnotised by the siren when it is their time to step forward. Sound kind of familiar? Maybe it’s just me that sees it that way…

An Island, Or Was It?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 5 Comments

You may or may not be familiar with the so called ‘fictious’ island known as Frisland. I am not one for just going with what ‘they’ say, so like to do a bit of digging to see what it’s all about. And this one I find interesting, because it is purported to be a completely made-up island, as so “Frisland, also called Frischlant, Friesland, Frislanda, Frislandia, or Fixland, is a phantom island that appeared on virtually all of the maps of the North Atlantic from the 1560s through the 1660s”. So, for over 100 years, all sorts of cartographers, from all over the place, just happened to ‘make up’ an island on every map. Sure Jan. Convenient way though to just erase a bit of the past, isn’t it? “Oh, don’t worry about THAT, they just made it up, move along, nothing to see here. But we’re not making it up…” Here is one of the maps of the time to give you an example of what there is to see.

Map by Nicolo Zeno, 1558

So, we have very clearly all the other places we know exist today, with very detailed coastlines, names of places and mountain ranges etc. But for some unexplained reason, not content with actual coastlines and landmasses to chart and record, no, they just made them up out of the blue. Main question would be, why? And when everything else appears so accurate, even the little island looking bits along Norway’s coast, if you zoom into those edges today, they appear as sandbanks. So why would I think they just made it up! That’s the bit that makes no sense. Unless, you realise there may have been land masses they didn’t want anyone else to know about as time went on, or areas that would reveal too much. And like I said, the ocean may have also changed its route, course and coverage of the land, showing certain areas as perhaps, Pangea or Gondwana to show ‘when the land was attached’, but maybe it’s always been attached, just underwater. With seasonal changes over a long period, what they are now calling climate, could in fact just be cyclical cooling and warming of our dome, which makes the ice melt, causing potential catastrophe but leads to a way out, or it gets cold and freezes meaning more land is revealed and we get to see a piece of what came before. Although, we don’t really, because certain institutions were formed to make sure they are the first ones called to anything of historic significance. They then take as long as they like, often under a veil of secrecy to ‘investigate’, then sometimes years later, we get a public ready piece of information about said discovery. So much more is known than we have been told.

But with the mysterious islands, and various tales of other and different lands, is it so far-fetched to think there is more? And given how many lies have been told about history, to suit the victor, I think it is correct to question that which came before, and that which we apparently see now, because as know, looks can be deceiving and you can achieve an awful lot if people just believe unquestioningly, something to be true. And they are discouraged from questioning, or looking, or wanting to see for themselves. If there is nothing to hide, then surely it makes no difference whatsoever if someone chooses to give it thought. Because sometimes one thought can lead to another, and curiosity, if present, should take it from there and form ideas and further thoughts and questions. I am more than happy to accept that people just got it wrong, repeatedly, all over the world for hundreds of years, but I also equally happy to accept that it has been orchestrated to appear as such, moulding a very small and controllable world by way of maps, programming and repetition. It may well be that California was never an island, and didn’t have a very straight cut off line, which now appears on current maps as the border between California and Oregon, despite first-hand accounts from people having sailed round it. And while doing their straight line, they clearly didn’t notice the rest of the land, instead electing to show it as water. Silly people of the past, can’t even draw maps properly! Or so we are told…
