Why Do You Want To Be Monitored?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 7 Comments

It’s interesting and bizarre in equal measure, watching people seemingly happy and wanting to be monitored. If you have been reading my articles, then you will know there have been a few on the subject, Ministry of Monitoring covers them all, but it struck me as odd today that some, if not many, actually want it and are inviting it. So, are they in their right mind? Have they been hypnotised to say whatever they are told? Or do they genuinely believe it is a good thing? The main comment I will use to highlight this has been made recently on one of Joe Rogan’s podcasts, I must confess I haven’t actually ever listened to him or his interviews, and this is based on the clip provided on social media. Talking to the Rolling Stones founder, who happened to say he thought the government should be in charge of regulating the internet. Cue some very obvious objections from Joe, pointing out that they are the ones who regulate everything, for their benefit. That’s the brief of that, I guess if you want to see the whole thing, you can.

And although the interviewee couldn’t really explain why they thought it was a good idea after saying so, and sort of back tracked a bit, I’m not so sure it actually worked, pointing out how wrong it is to let one governing body have such access and control over individuals and groups of people. Even though I have given it much thought already, still may have missed a connection, I guess slightly touched upon in Holding us back. The fact that some people want to be ‘parented’, which appears to be tied into the digital omnipotence that marches towards us. And I wondered, is it easy for perhaps religious people to adapt to this new ‘god’ that will be the seer of all, knower of all and decision maker in your life? I grew up thinking it was super mean to ‘put the fear of god’ into people, to give children a horrific image to have in mind of burning in hell if you don’t do something, or do do something. But I realised what a handy tool it was, for control and power, as I’m sure many have, including the ones who wield it over people. The effect that can have though, is an easily controlled person through fear and imagery, you may know some like it, and it isn’t just religious people it seems. Over the years, people have got used the government being there as a ‘helping hand’ or just to guide you through society, taking money from you to you know, build back better.

Many people seem to struggle with managing themselves, or life in general, and I can’t help feeling that the ones who apparently govern us, have created much of that, and capitalise on it. Making everyday life so confusing, stressful and difficult to navigate for many, that it appears we need to have someone or something to ‘keep us all in line’, convincing us that it would be pure chaos without them. But what seems to be happening now is the edges are fraying and the veil is wearing thin, they don’t seem to be able to maintain their hollow shell of a society running on pure consumerism. Capitalism is dead they declared, Consumerism is king, some decades ago now, and they want you to be hooked on whatever it is they are selling. And they are pushing what they sell, every day in more elaborate ways, through various mediums, but this time there is a new twist. You won’t be the consumer anymore, you will be the product and you will be consumed, and already are to a point. They are taking your time, thoughts, emotions and what you are, turning us into what they want, to service their needs and desires, ours become irrelevant. But there is another thing they might be cashing in on, people either not wanting to rock the boat, or to be people pleasers, and if you find yourself to be a combination of the two then may in for a rather dull future.

And what of that future, where you will have all your choices and decisions made for you, or by way of very limited options, we are halfway there already with society arranged the way it is. Class divides, financial divides, more and more regulations. Within that they now want to scan your face everywhere you go, take away money and replace them with ‘credits’ instead, which will be programmed to be spent on what they chose, and to expire if you don’t spend it by the time they say. When it is said you will own nothing, and be happy, people think mainly in material terms, and maybe that is what they are saying. But it could be that they also mean they will take a sense of ownership away of you, not just the material things, but your very desire to want it. And if you own nothing, then what does it matter if someone takes it from you? Your possessions, your thoughts and time, family, your body? Where does the sense of ownership stop being material and start being about self-responsibility. Where we have sayings for it – ‘owning up to the truth’ or ‘owning your attitude’ which is about you personally, and it may just be that sense of ownership they are after.

But to get there they need to be watching, interfering and manipulating the outcome, convincing and encouraging people to be herded into their pens. Because otherwise, without constant reinforcement of the new regime, people would start to wonder, and think about the world around them, and quite possibly realise that it is all a sham. Makes me think of the bit of the X-men film, the second one I think with Wolverine finding out stuff, and the other adamantium mutant, where to maintain her state of compliance and programming, a droplet of some synthetic drug is put on the back of her neck (as with Magneto in the film too). Well, maybe that is just the heavy portrayal of drugging people into compliance, which some won’t recognise as they aren’t having a toxic substance burned into their skin. Yet, if you sugar coat said substance, and call it something fancy and get a doctor to prescribe it, people will take it willingly if you tell them they should. It’s disturbing how they have convinced so many people that they are a problem, or they are dysfunctional for not being able to cope with or fit into this odd set up we call society and reality. Not really allowing the questioning of the set-up, just blaming people for not fitting in or keeping up. Prevention rather than cure used to be the saying, well, not anymore. Almost as if they have their fingers in their ears and are shouting ‘we can’t look at why that happened, we are too busy dealing with it happening’, having caused said happening in the first place, and bloody well knowing it.

How and why they want to monitor you needs to be paramount in this, I have often heard people say that they have such a boring life, they don’t really care if someone wants to look at all their purchases. And others who seem to like the idea of having a ‘companion’ to encourage that diet plan, or motivate you to do that daily exercise you have been meaning to do, and that is how these things start. They cash in on your weakness and vulnerabilities, loneliness, lack of direction and confusion. And even the opposite can be harnessed, by appealing to people who think of themselves as strong, driven and savvy. All these conveniences, apps, incentives, rewards they put forward are all part of a bigger picture I feel and part of the monitoring scheme in general, but then again, maybe it’s just another conspiracy…

People Need More, And Less

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

People need more, and less. Not more greed, of that there is plenty. And currently people think they need more money as that is what is being screamed at us every day. Make more, want more, spend more. Fuelling the greed machine. But that isn’t what we need more of. People need lower costs, less need for money, more time and more effort to be put in by everyone for better. You can’t just want better; you have to be part of what happens to bring it about. But it seems that the idea of better has been stolen and corrupted as with much else these days. Build back better was a rouse, to make people think the words were enough, and then to sit back and wait for someone else to deliver that ‘better’. They knew that. All these buzzwords and new terms they introduce and make go mainstream are all just that, buzzwords, marketing tricks to get into your head and subconsciously get you on board with repetition and over exposure.

Because of how we function as a society, it becomes about money and necessity for most people, and money and greed for others, everything ties back to it and revolves around it. We are at the whim of it. They have made sure of that. Like taming a tiger I guess, once you know the whip works and you can crack it when needed, why wouldn’t you? It becomes an extension of control. The ring master isn’t controlling the tiger by himself, is he? He needs something else to have control over it, even if it is just temporary, and because the tiger plays along. It’s a precarious ‘relationship’ they have though, knowing the tiger could turn at any moment. In that instance, it is the whip, in our instance, it is money that is the extension of themselves they use to control us. Now, wouldn’t it be easier to control that tiger if you didn’t need a whip at all? If you could just implant something into it to make it ‘work’ and ‘sit’ and to immobilise it at the push of a button, you know, for the ‘safety’ of the ringmaster.

So, imagine you are the tiger, and they are the ring master. And the whip is currently money. How they get us to jump through hoops for it, compete for it, dream about it, die for it. All the while it is dangled as an incentive, used as punishment or reward, wielded as a weapon of control, where it can make you or break you. Welcome to the circus, where we are the attractions and the audience. Where you weirdly cheer and clap while in the audience, knowing full well you are next up in the ring for ‘entertainment and humiliation’, it’s quite perverse really. Especially so when you realise that you even paid for your own ‘ticket’. I can see why people have made comedic comparisons to films like Running Man, Maze Runner and The Hunger Games, and although we may laugh, we know they aren’t jokes. They are merely as a means to convey an observation, but in a less dramatic fashion that being deadly serious and demanding people see what you see. As we know some people have a classic blind spot in their view of the world, and it’s called reality. They will avoid it, contest it and deny it at every opportunity.

Once you step into the ‘Ring of Life’ though, you are no longer part of the audience, and become part of the grotesque display that is there to entertain you, until it is your time. But think of where the participants go after the show, the animals are led back to their cages, staff go back to their normal routine of keeping and maintaining the ‘show’. And that’s where we are folks, the normal routine of a circus isn’t a 24-hour thing, it’s a very, very big show when the time is right, bringing all the elements together when needed to dazzle, amaze and bamboozle people. Then it goes back to the daily routine of keeping it all going until the next one. But in between they don’t let the animals out, they continue with training, and making them comply and remember what they need to do, when they need to do it. So, it isn’t just the ringmaster, is it? There are different levels of people needed to perform different functions, but they are all part of the trickery, buffoonery, illusion and overall show, just as in real life. Where the prospective audience isn’t even involved until the time is right. Where it is made to feel like all smiles and fun and is expected to be, but with a dark sinister undertone. The circus of life, roll up, roll up, welcome to the show…

Logans Run. I mention that film a lot, and give it thought often even though I only saw it a few years ago. And where we find ourselves now in society, leads me to wonder if we are in the pre stages of such a dastardly idea, as we wonder with many a ‘storyline’ these days.

The premise if you don’t know it, is a large group of people live in a domed city, and have implants in their palm, which turns red when they turn 30 (in the book it was 21). Marking the age of being extinguished, which they wrap up as an ascension of sorts called the Carousel, and keep everyone placated and simple throughout their lives to keep the cycle going. Until someone does manage to break through it all. It’s a great film and much more to it.

The terms that get used these days for where they want to steer society, the grandiose ideas of the global organisations heading them, sometimes make me wonder. And although this does fall into the conspiracy theory pile, I still give it thought. Agenda21/30. It could simply be what it says, enacted in 1921 set to run and complete by 2030 – not started in 2021 as some speculate. I also separated the wording in my mind. So, it becomes ‘A Gender 30’. Thinking just perhaps they might be working towards one gender, to go with their one world everything. They blur the lines so much; it fits neatly into the future ideas for a separated completely homogeneous part of society. And it could well be, those type of places already exist, where people have been grown and manipulated in a secret separate society, and if you look around, it seems that it is the case. So only partly conspiracy theory then it seems, because we are very clearly being steered by a selected group who have been ‘educated’ differently and do wish to impose their ideals on people. ‘Smart’ cities and other things with that prefix, are not smart for us, but for them.

They have never had the interest of the individual in their mind, it appears to be a collective they are working towards, and if they ever do appear to embrace individualism, it serves a purpose. The idea becomes mainstream, indulged, distorted and ultimately corrupted into the groupthink. Sounds very Borgish to me, you will assimilate. And with the new word on the street for the future augmented ‘human’ being Homoborgensis, you may see why my mind might come to these conclusions. And if you read my previous articles, I have already speculated on this, but every day seems to herald new information or research which ties in, or is at least painting the picture of that occurring. Anything that seems to be about helping small groups isn’t what they are about, it’s the group as a whole they are thinking about, and you either serve a purpose or are in their way, with both resulting in being expendable. We would do well to not forget it.

In this world… (poetry)

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

In this world

Of make believe

Where you can check out

But never leave

So much is hidden

Yet plainly in view

It’s the bigger picture

They’re trying to screw

With tricks and traps

They try and confuse

To convince you that

It’s you who choose

This awful set up

And dystopian world

They want you caught in

And fully controlled

They’ve taken so much

But still want more

The future to be

Nineteen eighty-four

But hold on a moment

And back up the truck

You must think deep down

What the actual fuck

Is really occurring

In this twilight zone

The fate that is set for us

Now has been shown

~

And it aint looking pretty…

Plants and People

~ MKW Publishing ~ 7 Comments

It’s not hard to see in real time what the environment around them does to living things. Every person who has had a houseplant, and maybe struggled with keeping it in the best condition, will know what I mean. Or grown anything in a pot, where you are responsible for its wellbeing. It may seem obvious but I’ll spell it out, because people remind me of plants with the same need for nourishment and optimal conditions for the best chance of a healthy life.

If you put a plant in a dark corner, a pot that’s too small and don’t give it water regularly, it starts to look haggard. Drained and tired, struggling to hold on and make the best of itself. It’s awful once you realise it’s your fault, but can be fixed. A new bigger pot, fresh earth, water, sunlight. And within a couple of days, it picks up, starts to look fresher and more vibrant. Signifying the conditions are suitable.

The same can be said of people, and any living animal or organism. If the conditions are just right, they can flourish and grow, and if the conditions are not, it can turn them into a tired, stressed, strained, possibly angry version of their former selves. There are internal as well as the external conditions to take into account as well like nutrients, exercise, light and sleep, but they all play a part. This is why when the environment around us is engineered to be stressful, with fear and compliance as a driver, it will have an effect. When they talk of shutting things down again, dimming the sun and restricting your food, water and energy, it starts a mental process that leads into the physical one.

So, it really does boggle my mind that so many people, teachers, parents, education authorities all at the same time just threw children mentally under the bus when it came to lockdowns. Don’t get me wrong, I am no fan of the education system, and believe they are indoctrination centres for the early stages of development. But to have the whole system reorganised in an instant pretty much, with the timetables and goalposts changed constantly, and disappointment and grief thrown in to boot, it was a lot from the get go. Emotional, educational and developmental disruption was obvious, which is why it astounded me so much to hear people minimise it, or plain dismiss it. ‘They are resilient’ we heard. I won’t lie, I was shocked and knew what would follow when it finally became too obvious to hide, that they weren’t all just going to bounce back, and weren’t just able to breeze through unscathed in mind, body and emotional development.

That bring me back to plants, seedlings, and small budding plants. When they are in that crucial stage of development, if there are extra stressful circumstances, like lack of water, infections, not enough food, light, or space, it can severely affect the overall development and growth. Some can overcome these extra conditions and then thrive, if they are temporary and then corrected. Not all though. But left in the small, overcrowded, sub-standard conditions, life can survive and struggle on, but in a very limited condition and certainly not all make it, and not many thrive. So, I keep this in mind when I think of people and society, and of the daily environment that surrounds us, and of the expectations placed upon everyone to thrive and survive within that. Making sure to take responsibility for those areas when it is within your capability and not leaving it to someone else, because they may be trying to use a one size fits all approach or are working to something that benefits them and their environment or situation. Be the master of your own destiny, as the saying goes…

Code of Honour

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

A code of honour. Is there such a thing? Sounds mythical doesn’t it, that there are a set of values and rules that are honourable and maintained? Yep, mythical. But we are given rise to believe that there was such a thing. Some people do have it within themselves to have a decent code of conduct and live by it, but as a group and a society, we do not. I suspect it’s because we have no honourable people at the top, at all. So, the laws and rules they write for themselves and others, lack heart, decency, courage and honour. And it shows.

Honour amongst thieves, I always found an interesting saying as it inferred that the criminals would watch out for each other in times of need, to a point obviously. And along the way of learning about past criminals and seeing how things still work, I can see why that saying came about. And I realise it covered all illicit activities, not just thievery because as time has gone on, what is considered to be a crime, has been decided by in some cases people who themselves have broken the law. So, I can see why not everyone may agree with certain decisions and laws. But having looked at it, this entire country appears to be a rather large criminal enterprise and a cash cow for those who have positioned themselves above us.

Realising when I was younger, that people spoke of a time before, back in the days and times of the Krays actually, of there being street order, which kept things in line. People policing themselves but someone being in charge, and making money along the way. Punishments, incentives, rewards. Same systems really, but in a ramshackle way, as people do. And as criminals try to quash their competition and take the whole market, that’s what the establishment did. Took over the organising of crime, and deciding who remains in the ‘market’. Once you clear the way, you’ve got free reign with limited competition, and if anyone isn’t playing along, well, it seems the establishment has all sorts of elaborate ways to ruin you. Weirdly though, they now don’t seem to want to do that anymore, got bigger fish to fry with the digital enslavement to enact, so the streets are going to shit, for want of a better phrase. Because there is no-one now to get everyone in line, we are too far gone with enterprises from other shores now cementing their foothold.

We have a bit of a system too, where yesterday’s criminals and terrorists can be today’s politicians. In my lifetime I have seen someone go from being pinned up as Mr Terrorist in Ireland, so hateful his voice wasn’t even allowed on TV. He is now a politician over there. So, it suits their purpose to change the goalposts when they feel like it, or it’s a strategic move to gain something. Like I’ve said before, these people are playing a long game, and we get swept up with it.

It doesn’t suit their purpose however, for people to be able to communicate and act outside of their game plan, rules, systems and procedures. This is why over the years they have put things into place to minimise it, like licenses and regulations for things, health and safety, new laws, new systems, but it all neatly seems to tie in to their want of everything being digital. I knew cash would be on the chopping block as soon as taxes starting going digital, because they cannot monitor, tax or control cash, therefore they cannot control the people associated with it. So, in times like this, you need to ask yourself who the real criminals are, and whether they have tried to make you hostile to someone earning cash, because if you ask me, we would all do well to go back to cash as a first step to remove their overreach and excess power they have gained. If they can decide to freeze your bank account, stop you participating in society, leave you to die on your own, just for a political move, do you really want people like that having full unadulterated control over your life? And none of that is conspiracy, it actually happened and will happen again if we let it. We are all going to be viewed as a problem to the system eventually, they will find something wrong with all of us and why we don’t fit, because their system is wrong. We are not meant to be in it, and each time they try and change us and mould us to fit, we lose something of ourselves. And maybe some would like that, maybe they don’t actually like themselves and want to be part of that weird new ‘plugged in for life’ system. But for the ones who don’t, I suggest we start having our own code of conduct amongst ourselves, because there is no honour left in the higher levels, so it’s down to the ‘thieves’ to take it from here…
