It’s Been A Trade

I wanted to reply to a social media message, but do not have the space for what I believe needs to be analysed here, so another post coming your way.

They have observed a rather calm demeanour amongst the people who have chosen to wait and not be duped or cajoled into following the ‘government program’ currently underway. Versus what appears to be a somewhat hysterical attitude in the ones who have been following and repeating the party line. I gave it some thought, and have to an extent already. Seeing online what the post spoke of, and have of course wondered about where the anger and hysteria towards us has really come from too.

They say it is because ‘us lot’ are keeping the restrictions in place and coming back, which is a rather odd take on it. Considering we did not impose said restrictions, are not the ones succumbing to illnesses and are definitely not the ones dangling freedoms in trade for being able to use your body as a medical experiment. Which by the way you don’t get anything back with that trade, they just take more, as we have seen.

But there is plenty to be angry about – trading your body as a medical experiment so you can go on holiday, or to the cinema, or pub, or college, or work. Yes, I can see where the anger might have come from initially, but that is where it seems to get interesting. Because in a normal world, people should have put their foot down then, as many of us did, and said, I don’t fucking think so! But to our absolute horror and dismay, a fair portion of people just said, ok then. And then didn’t get what they had been promised. So something else occurred, whether it be natural or because of what they lined up for, but a blockage has transpired. Of logic, reason and humility. So instead, they can’t or won’t accept that they were and are wrong (and we know a very strategic behaviour and media campaign was put in place to help this along), and have mistakenly chosen to channel all their confusion, mistrust and anger in the wrong direction. Because all of those are normal feelings to have here and should be felt by those people – there is just cause. The behaviour department worked hard to make them scared and angry, but also how to deflect it away from who is actually causing it.

And so we come to where that is deflected to. Towards the folk who just didn’t buy it, weren’t just going to go along with the crowd or do as they were told with no good reason. Just because someone tells you they know better, doesn’t mean they do. Even with models, charts and predictions, as has been proved. They worked hard though to make sure we were vilified, demonised and set up to be the focus of their instincts trying to tell them something is wrong. I, like others, are amazed at the amount of sheer gullibilty and ignorance being presented in the general population. Without question, they are handing themselves over, like I said, to be a medical experiment as well as it turns out, a psychological one too.

Everyone should be worried, concerned and scared of where this is leading at an alarming pace. Be mindful of your thoughts if you want them to stay as your own, they are being highjacked as well as personal liberties.

Turning Off The TV

Sometimes things come to an end or just run their course. My recent article Walking Away illustrates this and was written in reference to something else. But this may have been the start of it, I turned off the television. Permanently. I have only done this once before in my life for a few months, and within a week or two, started writing my first book. I went back to televison, and have spent much time, too much time, watching it, thinking about it and even working my schedule around it back in the day before super convenience and timed recordings. Although I grew up with it, I am not sure you could say I was one of the TV generation who were put in front of it as a babysitter. I had to haggle and bargain for my television time, against a mother who did not care for technology and wanted me out playing instead. And for that I commend her foresight and observation of my love of it, making sure I went out, but using it where necessary to gain my compliance for chores.

Movies have always featured heavily though, more than TV, but of late things have changed. I used to joke that I watched certain movies not as entertainment, but as reference and research. And I meant it, but no-one believed me. I would often watch programs and movies as background noise while doing something else. It wasn’t stimulating enough on its own. I used to be captured and enthralled by it growing up. Fully immersed in the audio and visual experience and my concentration on it almost unbreakable. It may not surpise you to know that my favourite as a child was Alice in Wonderland. The only thing in life that did seem to make sense then, and turns out now as well.

But the box doesn’t seem to be what it once was. The unending feed of ridiculous constant adverts, the dull blandness of the programes and the odd definition of entertainment these days had spelt the end of my relationship with it. There is more going on that requires attention. It’s no longer required. And although I may not have regretted the time given to it already, I certainly would if I continued to give it more.

There is no need to be distracted by their ideas and images anymore, when there are plenty to be had of my own. Research is over, the clock is ticking…

The End Game

No, not the film. I have very little to say about that other than it is a few hours I won’t ever get back. This post is about a film though, and one of my wild speculations, where no doubt I fall into the conspiracy trap of seeing what they want me to see, or linking together what they want me to.

So be it.

I was not familiar with the Greek Alphabet, but upon seeing it the other day with someone referencing how we skipped a certain letter in it when naming our new scarient, I saw the end letter and jumped to a conclusion. Obviously. The final letter is Omega.

Now, I have watched a great number of virus-related movies and given them countless hours of thought, both from the point of the pathogen and storyline. I write fiction and before this happened wrote and published a book about a new virus being discovered and changing the world. It was from my fears of those films happening I tried to learn all I could about them and ideas behind them. So I have been watching closely throughout all of this.

The point of this post it to highlight one of those films. Omega Man. You may know it by it’s remake name of I Am Legend. About a virus raging out of control, and the cure causes unforeseen mutations and causes more devastation than the original illness. Hmmm, sounds a bit familiar perhaps. Well, its predecessor (of which there are actually two), seemed to focus more on a split in society, lots of losses, and then are left with a bitter group called ‘The Family’ who blame the uninfected. Again, sounds familiar. They called this film Omega Man, renaming from the first one ‘Last Man on Earth’, makes sense why they have used the last letter of an alphabet if that is the overall image they want to convey. The end of something.

It’s hard to know where they are really going with it, all we can do I guess is try and cover all bases and follow each thought to see if it might be needed or relevant. We have a very convoluted shifting reality upon us, and it is being steered towards what seems like an ever-growing madness. We need to bring back reason and logic, before they too are just whispers of what once was…

The Situation… (poetry)

The situation

It seems now dire

The powers that be

Are playing with fire

On whims and madness

The rules they made

To push us all

They will cascade

To bring about

Calamity

With their new brand

Of reality

Behind their guise

Pretending to lead

But it is our lives

On which they feed

And what they require

It really does seem

Like a well thought out

Dystopian scheme

~

Because it is
