The option of a tip/contribution

Although lots of my products and creativity is available, either for free and some for sale, I thought I would give people of the option of leaving a tip or contribution to my site if they would like to. I create and post for free and do not expect financial reward for any of it, and appreciate the time people have taken to read and like my various photos, articles and assortment of items I throw at you every day. But if you would like to, then please do, it would also be appreciated 🙂

Thank you for being part of my creative journey.

Not For The Greater Good

Things are progressing, and it does not appear to be for the greater good of anyone on the ground. The continuation of a breakdown of society and ultra-sinister methods being employed to keep people stressed, unsure and worried for their safety. As they well should be, there are ever more concerning reports coming out of various countries that should worry anyone. Canada (Quebec specifically), taking over parental rights. Infanticide up to 28 days after birth in some US states. Assisted suicide for mentally ill people. You can check out my article – More Than Sinister – if you want to hear more on that type of thing. They are going for money, food, housing, health – they are systematically dismantling them and the systems around them. Being headed by global organisations looking to fulfil statistics and targets they have set themselves. And we are the pawns. For no humane reason other than they want everyone hooked up to their plan of digital monitoring and identity. Again, check out my piece – Monitoring – for a more in-depth view on that, but I’ll brief it again shortly. They keep saying it’s ‘for your safety’ but do the complete opposite. Like someone drowning you, while telling you they are trying to save you.

The digital prison they are setting up for everyone isn’t a conspiracy either. It’s talked about in a very open and public way. ID’s, health information, finances, education, friendships, experiences, all controlled, influenced and monitored once it’s in place. We have been heading towards it for decades now and it’s coming to a head. The conditioning, the programming, the desensitising all coming together under one very controlled ‘shared event’. I believe this is important for them to lay the foundations for a set future. The Great Divide covers that too a bit and my speculation of what that group energy may be used for, but as a tool of manipulation and co-ordination, it can work wonders. People bond over the shared experience, it keeps it in living memory longer and can be more effective as a method of keeping people traumatised. Perhaps.

But after going for our health, and family and social units, they are now focusing on food. There have been various advertisements from the planners about bugs on the menu, synthetic meat, and lab grown products. Farmers are being encouraged and incentivised to retire, multiple food processing plants have been destroyed in the US in recent months, and leaders are warning of food shortages as they set them up. Ships being held in port, truckers being delayed, fuel prices set up to screw everyone. Farmers are also feeling the squeeze with fertilizer prices going through the roof, pushing them further into ruin. These are the guys that literally put food on your table, well, them and truckers. But imagine your food is grown in a lab, and driven to you in a remote vehicle – no person or animal required. That’s where it’s headed. Many are talking about it, but I also see many asking what they can do to prepare for something this life changing. And make no mistake, this is a life changing event we are in, and only part of the way through. It may sound dramatic to some, but it doesn’t change the fact it is happening, and it has happened on our watch. Plan as best you can with the ever-changing information you have and can speculate upon. Try and guard yourself mentally and physically for any scenario you can imagine, and if you can’t imagine, find other people’s ideas to work with. When it comes to items you have or might buy, I now have a rating system. Things will fall into 3 categories if it gets as bad as people say it might. Is it edible, useable or tradeable? The EUT scale I shall call it. And to be fair, I should have been thinking along those lines anyway, the system of money, prices and inflation is a stupid system you can’t help be a part of, but it doesn’t mean there isn’t a better way.

And that’s what many have recognised here recently, the old way wasn’t working. So, I don’t want the old system back, and only slightly miss the familiarity of it. Really, it’s exciting to think there could be something new and different, but not for the sake of it, and not for the benefit of only the few. People and humans are not meant to be mechanical pieces of software and hardware to be used to satisfy others needs and strange visions. We are not compatible with their system, so they are trying everything they can to rewrite us and integrate us with it. Like I said previously, it may sound dramatic to someone else, but if we don’t steer this in the right direction, we might not be human for much longer…

A Weak System

It’s not hard to see what they are trying to do all around us. Currently well on track for destroying the family unit as we know it, housing, relationships, friendships, livelihoods, prospects and the very fabric of what people are and what they do to get by.

So we know they are doing it – they make no secret of it, and people are taking about it, with the stupid and crippling rises in basics meant only to stress people out and get them to react or crumble. But many are speculating the real reason why, and how it will ‘pull together’ for the ones calling the shots. They are trying to rewrite everything around us, and even getting us to do it to ourselves. Tearing down statues, renaming things, not allowing the use of certain words because they ‘offend’ people. But which neatly ties into them wanting to get rid of the old, to overwrite what is, with something different, but not appearing to be better in any form.

We aren’t overpopulated as an overall land mass at all (well Britain might be heading that way through a forced state of affairs), but resources have no doubt been mismanaged, as is the case across the board in all their industries and businesses. Corruption, personal agenda’s and mismanagement seem to be what they are basing their system on. A system of total digital monitoring and control. I have covered this now a couple of times in other articles, but will do so again in this one, as I feel it needs to be spelled out for people what this plan of monitoring really entails for the ordinary person, not for them, for you and me.

Imagine. You wake up from a monitored sleep, they have your heart rate on monitor so already know if you have slept well, had nightmares, have anxiety, had sex etc. You have to take a urine test each morning, so they know what to allow you to eat each day, and so they can prescribe you your meds for the day. Don’t take them, you don’t go out and don’t get any entertainment allowance for the day. You are only allowed to travel within their allotted zones, and with people who have been deemed appropriate, they freeze your communications devices if you are caught trying to venture outside of this ‘zone’. To keep your weight acceptable, they will decide what you can eat and when you can eat it. You will have to use ‘credits’ to pay for that food though, and you will earn credits doing tasks of their choosing at times of their choosing. They will give you ‘choices’ of what you can spend your time doing, then reward you accordingly, as well as punishing and deducting credits for reasons they see fit. You will not be allowed to give your credits to anyone else, and you cannot borrow anyone else’s. You will be beholden to the system, and the system only. Each person, individually hooked up to a central point of control. You still get to be you, but only the bits they allow, and only if you are part of the collective. That is without the extra control mechanism of using something injectable, which may have other purposes, of which we are yet unaware. But if they can track you with it and your biometrics, then you are already in their inescapable prison. They become omnipotent. All seeing, all knowing. Doesn’t that concern you?

But all of this is still based on a system. Digital requires a power source, so one would think that it has a weakness, a point of failure. If you shut off the power, or we have no electricity, then the system will crash? Possibly. I see this as the main logical point of digital for everything being a bad idea, especially when they tell us every five minutes it all could all be made redundant if we have a really bad solar storm. So, we are knowingly putting everything we do and have into a system that we also say can collapse in the blink of an eye? Doesn’t make sense, does it?

So, what of our electrical signals, as humans. Is it our collective energy they are actually trying to harness, and once they have enough people in their ‘system’ it will be self-sustaining? No longer requiring an outside power source such as electricity? That would be crazy right? I really hope so. But so far, the crazy options look to be on the table at the moment, so I am exploring them all. There is no going back after this, we have already left behind what there was, so must start to work on where it goes. If we don’t, then their heartless ideals of having us all in a sterile, monitored, joyless world will be what happens. Start thinking about how you really want the future to look, because what has come before is gone and what is to be has not yet come to pass. There is still time…

Is It Really The Machines We Should Fear?

They always try and make out it is the machines and artificial intelligence we should avoid and fear. Many a film has paved the way for this –

Terminator films – skynet and the fight to eradicate humans.

The Matrix – another rise of the machines type film, where we can’t co-exist and an ongoing fight ensues.

Eagle Eye – a central AI computer that decides humans need to be controlled ‘for their own safety’.

I Robot – VIKI – same premise, AI that defined the above as the only logical outcome as we can’t be trusted.

A Space Odyssey – HAL, another AI system that ‘goes rogue’ and starts thinking for itself, sort of, because it’s still following ‘the mission’ and can’t entirely think for itself obviously.

War Games – this is the odd one out in the list, because the computer, Joshua did learn and adapt. In the nick of time no less, where the lesson was the futility of war, and when everybody loses there is no point in playing. If only we had that capacity.

Apart from the last example, we portray that it essentially makes them more dangerous than humans as they lack the capacity for nuance and complex thought with emotions. Or is that where the cross-over appears between humans and thinking machines? Because that is all we are viewed as these days – machines with emotions, so do we both have the same potential and failings? Where something we invent takes on a mind of its own and ends up turning on us and then seeks to destroy us. Sounds pretty human if you ask me, and after all, they were initially designed and programmed by us.

On a slight tangent, but still related in my mind, I have concern for this strange virtual universe they are trying to create and think that is where it will get weird. They seem to like using reverse words for things, so I have gone along with that and funnily enough, the reverse of Meta = Atem. This just happens to be an Egyptian god (also Atum, or Tem), translating to ‘to complete or finish’. There can be varying interpretations of that. But he is the start and the end they say. Interestingly, a myth of his origin is that he spoke himself into existence. I wonder about this, having come across a term which apparently is a real thing, but not real. Let me explain.

Tulpa or Tulpamancy – “is a concept in Theosophy, mysticism, and the paranormal, of an object or being that is created through spiritual or mental powers”. So says Wikipedia. But it’s an odd concept and instantly made me think of when some children have imaginary friends, and they are told it’s fictional. Weird that when adults do it, it’s a real thing. But not acceptable for all, because it does seem that there is discussion whether the whole Tulpa thing is real, spiritual and paranormal, or just a sign of loneliness and mental illness.

“A tulpa is an entity that exists inside a human’s brain, has their own sense of self, and is believed to have a consciousness which is separate from the main human”.

Sounds normal right?

So, let’s presume for a moment that this is completely possible and can be done as they say above. Wouldn’t it be of concern then that we are constantly looking to ‘create’ another version of ourselves online, and in their meta-verse (it is a concern to me and has been for a while now, but nobody else seems to share that worry). Could it be that by giving such concentrated thought to an alternative personality within ourselves that we are unknowingly or inadvertently creating beings and different versions of us through manifested thoughts. Some believe they are restricted to the mind only, but others believe they can become their own external entity.

In a world where we seem to have more than enough issues of people knowing who they are, do we need to add to them and the increasingly strange methods of keeping people isolated in ‘their own world’ as the saying goes. And that saying may be the future. In a Ready Player One kind of way. All hooked up and consuming in the virtual world so that you let the real-world crumble around you as they have planned it to, saving space and resources for the constructors of your social and virtual prison. Ending up in a Logan’s Run style set up, where people are contained in a completely controlled environment to ‘keep them safe’, they are not allowed to ask questions, think for themselves or be curious. Seems like we are halfway there already so need to really decide where this all goes, and I get the feeling we are not all going together.

Do You Want To Be Monitored?

This is a follow up piece to Monitoring – because I feel I need to play it out again for some, and maybe in a bit more detail.

Firstly, we know they are already monitoring us. Everything we say and do online and via the telephone is logged somewhere, programs run through data, algorithms do their thing and it gets stored in the rather large data banks they have around the world. But what is the purpose of it – it doesn’t really seem like a big thing if someone knows what you eat, where you shop, who you talk to, what you say, how you feel – does it?

All of those personal things that make up your daily and weekly routine, used to be private. If someone was tracking all those things about you, we used to call them stalkers. But because it is a corporation doing it, people seem fine with it. But what do they want to do with your data? I have heard people say “I’m not that interesting, I don’t care if they monitor me” – which I find a bit short-sighted but on the face of it, correct. They aren’t interested in you personally, at all. You are just a number, a statistic, a means to an end. They are interested in there not being individuals, one size fits all seems to what they are shooting for in the bigger picture. A formal, standard existence if you will, where there is the illusion of choice on a basic level, but everything is controlled and decided for you, like having a parent who doesn’t want you to socialise normally or have any freedom, and sure as hell don’t want you being happy. That is the type of ‘government’ we appear to have.

With the big drive to make everything digital, going cashless is a very big part of this new plan. People must realise this. The social credit system is already being used as i have said previously, we have credit ratings for loans and mortgages, bank accounts, credit cards – already excluding many people from those because of various issues that society decided deemed you ‘not good enough’. And for decades many people have continued to jump through those hoops, hoping they get approved, and not really noticing that others aren’t. A divide of opportunity has already been with us for quite some time, and people felt ‘lucky’ if they managed to work through all these systems and procedures, that they had made it. All part of the illusion I’m afraid, but it did well to separate folk. You know the ones, who look down on other family members or friends because they didn’t make the grade, or pass the exams, or get approved. Whether consciously or not, we all are brought up to believe this ‘standard of society’, to become acceptable, and ultimately gain approval and therefore be ‘allowed’ to take part in all areas of society.

That’s how it has been for decades already, with many being cast aside and labelled, left out of the main circus and kept more as a sideshow to it, and as a reason to implement ‘change’. My thoughts of where it leads are as follows once it’s all digital –

They want to stop people being able to help each other, so they will make sure you can’t buy anyone food on your account, they will make sure you can’t lend anyone money outside of your ‘unit’.

Socialising will be restricted, and even knocked back to only in designated areas where it can be fully monitored – or online, for the same. Unfortunately, many are doing that without even being asked to, only conducting their social activities online. Chose while you still can on that one.

They will monitor what you eat and decide if that is healthy enough by their standard, they will monitor what you watch and take away programs deemed not suitable. Your conversations will be monitored so they can decide whether you need re-educating to have the ‘right thoughts’. Your travel and movements will be restricted to zones you are allowed in, when they say you are allowed to. You won’t be allowed to have rights over your children, and in their vision of the future, you won’t even give birth to them, they will be grown in pods in your living room. Sounds great doesn’t it. And all of this is from their articles, plans for the world and high-profile meetings over the last few years, this is not me speculating.

If the idea is to eliminate communities as we once knew them, then destabilising towns and villages and herding people into cities works quite well, they have been doing it for a rather long time already, but in the last couple of decades it has spiralled a bit. Jobs moving out of area, moving and travelling for work was encouraged, families separated and moved apart, various social issues causing more pressures on people, families, stability.

They are not interested in joy or happiness; they are interested in productivity and commodities. And our need to have joy and happiness in our lives seems to be a thorn in their sides. So much has been imposed which is directly for holding people down and making everything just a bit shitter than before, oh but if we call if progress, then everybody just goes along with it. Well, you know what? I am sick of their version of progress, driving us all slowly into the ground and round the bend. At the whim and mercy of cold, heartless, calculated deceivers who have an ulterior motive and do not want the best for us. I find it amusing that some appear to be afraid of something because they are told to be, but are not seeing the ugly truth of what it is they should be afraid of. And currently, it really does appear that it is the people in charge who are our greatest threat.

Trying to ‘unite the world’ under the guise of a pandemic so far hasn’t worked, so they will either try again using the same method but tweaked, or go for a whole new plan. It’s anyone’s guess what that might be. But if ever there was a time to speak, to pick a side and stand firmly for what you believe to be right, it is now. Because soon it may be that there won’t be anything to stand for, as they will have you living on your knees…

There’s Nothing Great About It

It seems the current situation has indeed been misnamed. And I am loathe to use the term, but need to for the purpose of this article. The Great Reset (nicely renamed The Great Resist, which is a much better vision), but the reset, seems to be for the benefit of a few under the guise of ‘for your safety’ and ‘for the greater good’ – two sayings which should not be trusted at all. You should understand personally for your safety and should also know when it’s for the greater good yourself, not because someone else has decided it. Because it is their idea of good they are working towards, there is no collective greater good currently. It would require enough living space, freedom and advancement emotionally from a great number of people for us to achieve a greater good. So I don’t focus on that now, there is no time, and it’s just as much of an illusion as everything else.

Back to the word great. Because it has been so firmly affixed to a plan as named above, I gave it thought. Was it just to try and be grandiose and claim its great in advance, thereby trying to create said greatness by invoking it? Or is it a calling card, a trail and marker? I decided to cover others and speculate on the significance. Why were certain things named as such for a purpose, rather than for what they were? Once you see the list, you might work out where this is going.

The Great Fire of London – 1666 (oh look, a bit of symbolism there with the date), but anyway, a rather convenient fire it turns out for a London reset it seems.

The Great Depression – 1929 – 1933 officially as the worst bit (again a special number), but says it went through to the late 30’s. This seems to have been another financial reset and displacement of people.

The Great Flood – A bit further back, and no specific date on this one as it is a biblical reference, and funnily enough, throughout most ancient civilisations and legends around the world. They all have a ‘flood story’. So make of that what you will, but as we have referenced it as Great, I suspect it is relevant. And if you subscribe to the crater theory, then you may understand why it’s important.

The Great Plague – 1665-1666 (There it is again) – seems like London was having a crappy time of it back then, just before the fire neatly sorted out loads of issues, they had a plague outbreak as well. You would think the larger, previous outbreak would have been named as such, but no, they went with the last and smallest outbreak being named The Great Plague of London.

Great Britain – apparently termed in 1603 by King James I of England (you know, the one who declared witchcraft and burned all those ‘witches’), it makes me wonder why this place is named as such. Because we are a very small island to have been a huge ‘great’ empire, so I have questions on that.

The Great Famine (1845-1852) Nothing great about it at all, but they cleared out lots of people, starved lots more and obviously got what they wanted from that. Like people say, if you control the food, you control the people. On the face of it growing up, I believed it was a potato problem and people either left or starved. I hadn’t realised it was more complex and that the crown continued to have food sent out of Ireland over the mainland, thereby ensuring they starved. If history and current events teach you anything that you understand and know to be real, is that people and authority can be unbelievably cruel.

I’ll keep thinking on these as they are a work in progress, and may be just another part of history that in fact is exactly as they say, and there is nothing to see here. But maybe not…

Writing the next story

I’m not sure whether this is a hyperphantasic thing, or just being a writer thing. I tried to describe what it’s like to my husband when I’m trying focus on one thing to write. He finds it strange that I don’t do more of it, and that when I do I seem to get rather perplexed sometimes. So I broke it down as follows.

Its like having a multiple television channels all in my head, and there are episodes and films on each one, some of them short stories, some full length films. What’s frustrating is not being able to chose which channel it stops on, and not being able to keep it on that one. I explained it would be annoying if the remote control kept changing channel half way through a programme or after the first ten minutes. Well that’s my brain sometimes. I’ll get half the story, or the dramatic ending, then nothing for a while.

And when you specifically allocate time to write and sit down to access those stories, nothing. Blank screen as such. They aren’t there at my beck and call, only when they feel like it. So I can plan my creative time as much as I would like, unfortunately my creativity doesn’t always play ball. So I do my best and having a growing number of works in progress, hopefully they will pull themselves together and I can get my next book of short stories published. I have five written so far which feels like an achievement in itself, so I’ll try to build on that and get my internal remote in order and get it to settle on one story. If anything, I want to know where they go!

The Hive

What do you think of when you think of The Hive? Insects? A collective? Or maybe you go for the out there one and think of Resident Evil? I’ll explain how all those angles are correct and relevant.

We are often likened to insects. Our social structure and hierarchy involving a queen, which does seem a rather odd thing when they say men rule the world. Strange that they overlooked those women and others in power. Or did they? But it does appear that our societal structure is being pushed towards a very formal and ordered future. Why individualism and joy are hated quite so much, I don’t actually know other than they must be a threat to the overall system. Like a bug, or a glitch, that if left unchecked rages out of control and spreads, eventually crashing the system. I suspect they view us as the virus, capable of infecting their neat plan of us being drones and workers for their ‘ant farm’.

How far-fetched you might say, and indeed it may be. But I will be as far-fetched as needed from now on as things are escalating at a rather alarming pace. The squeeze they are putting on people from many angles is sinister, unyielding and relentless. And it is all manufactured by the powers that be. The real-life horrors being revealed daily to expose the corruption can’t keep up with the sheer volume of people, places, amounts, motives, conflicts of interest and other things being chucked at the senses daily. Accidental or not, they have made a complete shitshow out of society, and it may have always been on that path with this outcome as the desired result. It now makes a bit more sense why they may have wanted to flood the country with undocumented people from anywhere, because it destabilises the local communities who would ordinarily pull together and help each other through the tough times.

But they don’t want that. They want kindness gone, empathy gone, isolation being a theme, separated from your fellow man by way of fear and suspicion. Then they will bring in punishments for helping others without authorisation. Once everyone is hooked up to their social credit system, with monitored ‘money’ and authorised spend, they will know if you buy more, or something different. They will try any which way to stop people being able to fight for themselves and each other. So, what of the others in this country, the ones who are not from here but by whatever circumstances, find themselves here in the last few years. Some speculate that they will be moved to Canada and there is a general people relocation program occurring. Of which I do agree to a point, as I believe it is much easier to condition and reform, if you displace groups of people and remove/destroy their history, heritage and traditions. My idealistic mind would like to think that wherever people are from, if they find themselves here and needs must, they will fight with us. And that is me being fanciful and maybe watching too many movies where the back-up army appear as if from nowhere to join the ranks, giving the numbers needed to do what is needed.

But what if we could get some social cohesion, of understanding that we are all people and unless differences are put to one side and the similarities in us embraced for basic living, we may not be people any longer. And maybe we already aren’t, as we are currently viewed and treated as a commodity, as chattel, as property. But it would seem that we are a volatile and potentially dangerous commodity, that must be placated and controlled, so we can be ‘of use’. We are at the hands of opportunists. And if we put complete unknowns to one side, they are just people. Crazy, unhinged, disturbed people who happen to be in charge, because we continue to let them – voted for or not, if someone is no longer fit for the role, they must go. And if the role is no longer fit for purpose, then it must go too. They make no sense, lie all the time, steal from the pot, write laws to suit them as they go and people just accept that, it’s outrageous and it’s downright criminal.

They do seem rather hung up on creating augmented humans as well, and sucking us all into their weird meta-verse, so we can have ‘virtual’ lives, rather than real ones. Where we can be drones for their data, but not consuming much of the real resources that they would like to have all for themselves. They are a bit stuck though, as they haven’t quite perfected the machinery from scratch to do away with us completely, and robots aren’t quite good enough and have to be programmed still (as far as we know). So, what to do with us. There will be a time to fill before it is ready and operational, so they use that time to try and prepare us, to get people on board from the beginning so they won’t notice, add more people as you go, creasing out the glitches that arise – and by glitches, I mean people realising what is happening, people trying to unplug, or avoid it. Their goal is to “enhance human capabilities beyond the individual”. So, linking us all up to a central point? Turning us into something only functioning for the greater good rather than for the good of ourselves first? And that greater good is a standard set by people who don’t want humans being humans, and they do not like freedom of choice or individual thought, so I suspect they don’t actually know what the great good is for humanity. They want greater good for them, at the expense of us. And that is perhaps how we ended up being The Hive from resident evil. We worked above ground completely unaware of what they were up to beneath our feet. It never sat well with me that they claimed to have eradicated all these terrible things (viruses), yet kept them, safely in their possession, until needed. And possibly that is how those things really came to be, engineered for control from the start. They are creating a heartless, monitored, sterile society around us and if people don’t notice that and decide they want better, then towards it we will march…

It’s Simply Unrealistic

That line could apply to so much right now, but I’m going to focus on the cost of living, as that really does appear to be a serious pressing issue that is being forced through. It’s coming to boiling point with the stupid, idiotic and downright childish policies that have been hurried into place. Almost as if they think if they keep chucking stuff at people, they will be so busy scrabbling around to find their feet, they won’t notice. It needs everybody to just stop for a moment. To really think and then act, not react.

It seems, whether this is true or not, that we are meant to have a social contract with the government and councils.

“Council tax is the local tax which helps councils pay for the services they provide“.

Here is one of the taxes we are conditioned that we have to pay, but to me it reads as though they are a business providing a service, and getting reimbursed for it. Why do we then have no say in what the services are, or how they are delivered? Or whether we want to pay for them or not? I’m sure there are many people who would happily pay for their local areas to be maintained, but not by way of the local council first. The amount of wastage at all levels of council and government is shocking, and has been for decades. We all know.

But this last two years has seen catastrophic level of thievery and misappropriation of public funds. To me it is gross misconduct and a breach of the social contract that we have. Making it null and void. But aside from technicalities of law and the fact they write the law to protect themselves and so they can keep their greedy fingers in the pot, there are real people who will face real hardship from their fly by night decisions and laughable ‘leadership’. They care not for the normal everyday folk; they have made that much clear. It’s heart-breaking when you see how much of a pension some people are trying to live on, while at the same time handouts being given left, right and centre to people who have not contributed or worked hard at all sometimes. And in that I mean both people at home and from abroad. We are an island with a limited land mass and resources, being distributed in the most corrupt fashion, it is simply not sustainable or realistic to think it can go on and everything keep going up. Food, taxes, heating, fuel, travel etc. All at a time when we should all have enough, for everyone and to share and help others who may be in need of assistance. Because we see where it goes, we see land and money being hoarded on a level Ebeneezer Scrooge would be proud of. But really, I ask myself why.

Why do they want to make life so hard and terrible for people? Was it not bad enough that we are born into servitude and have to face a life of being herded, directed and dictated to, and pushed to where they want you to be? Now they have to put extra strain on the constantly adapting landscape, because fear and worry have all sorts of consequences, as they, and us, well know. But the extra strain and financial worry they are knowingly heaping on people for what only appears to be profit, is downright cruel. Engineering social issues and benefitting from them for the longest time, yet still managing to blame the people for it. I can only hope that as each day passes and more corruption is exposed, some good and change will come of it.
