Thoughts

Primed for Purpose

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

There have been a number of articles already around education, institutions, school and learning –

Institutionalised, Scheduled for Learning, Your Digital Informer and Further Education or Further Separation?

And others looking at the trail that led us there with A Working Strategy and A Rather Dark Enterprise, with many looking at what happens thereafter. Following a projected path and structure like in The Beautiful Mice, as it is meant to.

But currently, there are more headlines about schools and the pressures they are facing. With funding and budget issues, rules and targets to hit, and a new demographic taking over some schools meaning different skills needed for language and culture. New taxes being imposed on schools, resources being limited to a very narrow mindset being ‘allowed’ to persist. Anyone else with individual thought or reasoning appears to find themselves in the line of fire, unless of course, they have learned already to keep their mouth closed. Just as many did in previous generations, already seeing there were cracks appearing, and noticing the ‘system’ wasn’t entirely there for the benefit of the people.

Now though, it’s really quite obvious it isn’t for the benefit of the people, or at least not the native populations anyway. What we were used to as a stable society, providing infrastructure of healthcare, education, travel, employment and leisure, has been turned upside down. All of those things are being used now as a tool of control and to hold people to ransom almost. And weirdly, many have noticed that all those things are being freely given to new arrivals, in fact, some departments of the government are literally falling over themselves to be able to hand out someone else’s tax money. To everything and anything, except what it was apparently meant for.

Schools are mirroring society in their own smaller way, where once it seemed the other way round and school was the prep for the bigger society. It now seems that society is being turned into a school like mentality, where the people are treated like children as speculated in Holding Us Back. And perhaps where the 15-minute cities and town tie in with School, But Bigger, where it’s just one contained ‘happy family’ scenario as in the pretty and colourful drawings they use to propose their vision. But for real school these days, they are reducing teachers, activities, exams and increasing targets, systems and rules of thought. It makes me wonder why people keep sending their children to these buckled institutions, still believing there is a purpose as there once appeared to be. Still clinging to what they once represented? Thinking it will go back and be normal again? Because if you take your children out of mainstream school, I understand you then have to take full responsibility over their education and learning, and potentially not everyone thinks they are capable of that, and clearly some aren’t by themselves. Which is where community and family come in, or at least where they should, and used to.

But I understand the need to keep an eye on kids, with an even higher percentage of danger lurking these days than ever before. Yet many still slip through the cracks, even now with all our systems of registering, monitoring, keeping medical and educational records, with all the departments in place to ‘safeguard’ them. It seems they have lost control of the illusion that was in place for the longest time, and now they are very much being revealed to be part of the problem. Interfering in people’s lives and development as much as they can, to be necessary as the overseer, the feeder of all those things you think only they can provide. Once you look at the set-up of school, don’t you think it’s odd to expect children from a very young age to spend hours and hours cooped up with large numbers of other children they are not familiar with? Over and over again, for years. And once you get a bit older, it’s a bigger school, more people, more subjects, less time, more change – all at a crucial time when you yourself are going through great change. The time you miss with your family as you grow up, is something many don’t even seem to realise they missed, because it’s gone on for so many generations now, we hardly even question it. But if you could do it all again, knowing how fleeting everything is, and how fragile life can be, would you want to be put through the same mill as before?

Don’t Bite the Hand that Feeds You

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

It shouldn’t really take much explanation, a saying that really does get it’s meaning across. Yet, many don’t actually seem to understand the more sinister implications of it, and now things have changed a bit in society, it would seem prudent to examine who it is that is ‘feeding’ you, what it is they are feeding you, and whether it might actually be the time to bite that hand.

Because no-one ever adds the context about what that hand is doing, other than feeding you and that you should be grateful. And in the right setting, yes, you should be grateful, but in the wrong setting, do not be gaslit into thinking you need to keep being fed. Because what if you were being fed poison or being force fed? Well, in that situation I would think it would be necessary to bite the hand that feeds you. But it is also important to note, the underlying context of that saying, as it isn’t just as simple as be grateful and don’t take the piss. It’s an implied exchange between the two parties, that if they are being fed, they should not even look up, let alone bite, even if they do work out they are being fed poison.

No cause for complaint if you are benefitting kind of thing, but what is the benefit of being fed? Ah, yes, to stay alive. So, if someone else has all the food, or access to it, or all the land you are able to grow it on, and you want to live, then you learn not to bite the hand that feeds you. Even if that hand is like the Grim Reaper, reaching down to throw a few crumbs for the mortals, you become dependent on it, unable to provide your own food after a time, and then being forever beholden to that hand. And it knows it.

Now, let us say that the ‘food’ in this analogy is actually money – and you are the one who actually start with the food, being able to sort yourself out, grow it yourself and have no need of a ‘feeder’ to do that for you. But someone (the government), then comes and takes some or all of your food and your land, and locks it away, and gives it back to you in small crumbs and pieces, when they decide when they want to, at a price they get to determine. And shares it around to everyone else while you go without, and you are expected to sit at the dinner table, having provided the nourishment but have to wait until the end after everyone else has had their piece. Maybe there will be a few crumbs left after. And if you happen to say anything or notice? Enter the gaslighting to put that right in mind. Don’t be selfish, you need to share, you wouldn’t deny others, would you? Or, wait until you are accused of being racist, or antisemitic perhaps, to then sit back down and quietly just go hungry.

Because it seems rather obvious now, that people being able to be self-sufficient is the last thing that hand wants, because after it gets bitten, it is no longer required and has no purpose. You don’t then shake that hand and start a new relationship, where it can find something else to feed you with. Just like old fashioned groomers with their offers of sweets and presents, these ones use benefits and cash incentives to feed you with. Hoping you never notice you are being groomed to take part in the sinister trade of society we have in place, where we exchange our time for money, and then trade money for food, while they take more money and then charge us extra for the ‘luxury’ of being able to live what we would call an uninterrupted normal life. And now it’s being elevated to a new level, where the people who do literally feed the masses, farmers, are having their hands chopped off, so they can’t feed us. Choked and restricted with policies, targets and stats, while the ones who start those ideals, have their back-up areas, farmland, islands and their own plantations on the go. Quite neatly away from being accessible to the average person, while they lead us ever further into the roadmap of our 15-minute smart towns and cities they would like us all to part of, in your zone, eating your lab grown ‘food’, being a good little guinea pig, just like it seems, we always have…
