A reading of my article – Smart, or Dumb?

It’s become obvious for many now in society, that helping people and creating a decent working society is no longer on the cards. If indeed it ever was, instead it appears we had a neat veil of respectability placed over the ‘systems of society’ so that we didn’t see their darker method and motive. Until a power move was played which has revealed much of it and exposed a very real and sinister enterprise.
It was touched upon in my article Robbin in the Hood
“Because once you start profiting from someone’s misery, what incentive would there be to try and end said misery, if profit is your main objective?”
And from a slightly different angle in It All Starts To Unravel,
“Misery is a monitored man; I will tell you that now. They monitor you in prison, they put you in isolation in prison, and they have a lack of privacy in prison for a reason – because it is a punishment.”
And of course, we have noticed how there seems to be a push to monitor everyone and their daily transactions of life, which of course, makes money for someone somewhere. But it isn’t just about money, because that’s just the front of it, it’s all wrapped up in time, which itself is a construct, but for this it’s real, just as their money is. And it’s a two-fold problem really, firstly we have to use our time to make money in various ways, and then use that money to buy things, which then occupy our time. And when it comes to entertainment, it’s a perfect circle. Your time makes money, you buy the ticket, book, music, DVD, etc, and then you spend your time indulging in it. Like it says ‘Spend Your Time’ and what else do we spend? Yes, money.
These days though, we are being railroaded to pay for our own enslavement, with time and money. With someone else making profits from that misery, which they then reinvest into keeping the misery going and expanding it. Because you know, more profits need more struggle, more hardship, more money and more time from the people who facilitate it. The public. Previously it appeared to be the prison system that was the most enterprising of this idea, to encourage people down a certain path in life, so you inevitably end up in their ‘mousetrap’ and cycle of incentives and punishments. A special project running within the human ‘Beautiful Mice‘ project that calls itself society. An expansion is on the cards though, where the prison gets larger, becomes a mixture of maximum security and open, decides everyone is a criminal for something, and then you all get lumped in together. Of course, that wouldn’t work well in a real prison, so isn’t going well in a larger, less organised and highly populated setting, although it seems that is the point. To force a situation where people end up actually begging for further systems and monitoring, to ‘keep them safe’ from the issues created by the people who will then offer you digital sanctuary.
But misery is a rather large industry, like the beauty industry, think how much that has reaped over the decades, not just selling products but as with much, they need to sell you an idea first. Of standards, of what they consider ugly and beautiful, people, marketing campaigns and offers, changing the way people think towards things and themselves. People don’t seem to have noticed that misery has also become an industry, and actually overshadows all others now in my view, because it was allowed to fester and run alongside everything else. Alcoholics make money for the system by consuming, and then needing ‘care’ to recover, same with drugs – although they also make money for the system in a number of ways by adding to crime as well, mental health issues, general health issues and disorders, and so on. My article What Are We Worth? has already noted the following –
“A healthy person just going about their lives appears to make very little money for ‘the corporation’ as it goes. It would appear that the vast amounts of money they make from us is carefully engineered to be that way, by means of shopping and consumerism, food and pharmaceuticals, addictions and interests.”
Understanding that they want illness, they want crime, they want people to be confused, addicted, lost and stressed and unable to find which way is up, because it gives them an easy way to pretend to be there to help. Wanting to be there to offer comfort and support, but in fact they are grooming you to accept their next dose of harm which will be administered by someone else so you don’t associate it with them. And it will be one of your own kind somewhere down the line, so you don’t worry or notice the real intent and motive behind it. Like if someone hired some thugs to kick the shit out of you and then turns up to be shocked and offer you comfort, getting an extra kick out of seeing the harm they have caused first hand, and even more so as they know the ‘victim’ doesn’t know it was them. But people have been herded into these systems for decades now, and each one seems to lead neatly back to government contracts and control, taxpayer money being used to create more problems and enslavement, more monitoring and digital ID being held over people’s heads, like the sword of Damocles precariously dangling above us all.
But make no mistake, each of these system we have now create an industry of misery covering all quarters of society, which then creates lots of money and control for others. And has been like it in various forms for hundreds of years now, check out my article A Working Strategy to see how it has developed over the centuries. From servitude, to employment contracts at mop fairs, to wars, prisons, work houses, orphanages, schools and being Institutionalised in various ways to fit the ‘need of the corporation’ at the time. It was always pushed as though society developed to have those things, but when I give them real thought, none of them would have been for the good for society, they were to create a fearful, worried and stressed population, fearful of crime, war, financial collapse etc. Changing the mentality and stability of areas, people’s and ideas. Another article ties in here, Leading to a State of Mind, And Fear, speculating on the methods you might use to create a certain mindset, where it hadn’t quite materialised yet in a physical sense, pushing it along somewhat. Because to make money out of that misery, first you have create it…

This is a follow-up article to The Death of the High Street, because that was written in 2019, before a crippling blow was dealt, and as I pointed out in that article, it felt more like the suicide of the high street rather than just the death of. But I figure now, it was helped along to be that way. Businesses have been going on about rates, rents and other things that councils and governments imposed on them, a slow drip of licenses, regulations and rules. Now we see the farmers making noise, and various areas of society have over the years, tried to sound some kind of alarm but it would have always been overwritten, made about pay, or simply dismissed.
The high street though used to be an integral part of communities, the hub of an area, of trade and economy. Albeit a structed one that previously was created and imposed on people, but with at least it seemed, a small semblance of people in mind and their needs. Now those are firmly ignored in place of a corporate model for all areas. High streets becoming a long line of corporate chains, making them beholden to a parent company, and the other shops that have been allowed to take hold, appear to be front businesses. Where the footfall doesn’t quite appear to be enough to sustain such a premises, and they were always there, just different products on show.
But it seems people weren’t really prepared mentally for the shift that occurred, when most of the businesses of this country were told to close their doors. Shops, offices, schools and all the other trades where people need to work to earn money to survive. A crafty move when you look at it as a bold strategy to change the face of society and community in one foul swoop. Re-organising how people work, disrupting and dictating how and if they can travel, deciding if you were allowed to see loved ones or not, even on their deathbed. Because of course, no-one could overlook the fact that the hospitals also chose to close and, in some cases, actually barricaded their premises. Sounds unheard of in a ‘health crises’, but makes sense when you look at the bigger picture.
And the bigger picture for this angle, is that clearly they don’t want self-sustaining towns and cities where the people just get on and get by, not having to check in every five minutes, and taking control of their own communities and areas. The 15-minute corporate makeover being pushed in all areas of the globe should be of great concern to people, because what they are doing is destroying what we have and what worked perfectly well. To then rebrand, repackage and repurpose it for their benefit, and try and offer it as a better and brighter solution. Just as they did when they convinced people before they needed to have councils, schools, taxes and people to tell you what to do. To outsource responsibility and your life to them, making people dependent on those ‘services’, changing the way people think towards care, education, health and generally towards life. Outsourcing all of those things along the way, and now paying dearly for it it would seem in more than just monetary terms…

To break down your mentality, personality and identity as well as your natural state of being. I have already given thought to the general conditioning via the school system in Institutionalised, and many have noticed it as a central point of ‘information’ for many throughout their childhoods. Making sure we are all ‘reading from the same page’ and all that.
But when thinking of the aspect of attention spans, and how I felt that children shouldn’t be stuck in a building all day surrounded by people they essentially aren’t familiar with on a personal level, I realised something else. That rather than trying to increase attention spans at all, it seemed more of a disruptor of them. This is mostly from a secondary school point of view, and was given thought again as I mulled over how ADHD came to be. Wondering again if it’s environmental, medical, or psychological based on the other options. And I thought of how hard it was to concentrate at school, and then mentally ran through what it was that created a disturbance.
The weekly planner. The list of all the classes, all the subjects and time slots, gearing you up for your week ahead, filling your head with all that had been scheduled for you, for you to adhere to and be ‘subjected’ to. Now, it may well be that some people are the type to be heavily distracted by thoughts of all the things you are going to do, and there are those who prefer to think about what they are doing, or both. But it’s a one size fits all program, where if you don’t fit, they attempt to ‘shave off the edges’ to make it so. Square peg and round hole springs to mind. But the point being, many people aren’t good at organising, or planning ahead or wanting to even think about the next day let alone next week, deadlines, exams, or just continuous structure someone else decided.
And is it just possible, that by forcing people to have one-hour lessons (ish), constantly chopping and changing in one day, never being able to get into anything properly, different teachers, subjects, ideas and always on the clock, this has a lasting effect. Watching and waiting for your allotted break time, lesson time, lunchtime, home time. Lots of time and the concept of it being used to control people and their mindsets. Never able to get into a subject, because it’s time to move on, cutting that thought process dead in the water, expecting you to just pick it up again when they say so. Switching to the next potentially complex subject, but after moving you to another room, mingling with people and being distracted even further by a hint of life, then it’s quashed again so you can ‘learn’. But it seems that what we were to be learning, was in fact to have a short attention span, and to be able to work to schedules and deadlines, to organise ourselves for that lifetime of employment, and of course to increase our capacity for multiple subjects of thought at once. Perhaps to prime us for the onslaught of propaganda and technology that was come, making sure we are ‘trained’ for maximum input.
Or it was simply a consequence of that environment, my article A Consequence, or a Cause? would be relevant here. Because I do wonder how much of our behaviour as individuals and in a group, is natural, conditioned or as a side-effect of what we are subjected to as a routine within what they have called society. And as we are forced to spend many, many years of our lives in the system, one can’t but help to realise it has an effect, whether it be seen as a good one or bad one is down to the individual. Because aside from the conditioning purpose they are there for, it seems they have a side game running, of an odd set up where psychological issues are created, observed and medicated. And now we have the schools changing it up a gear, to saturate and groom the new generations with confusion and fear while the societal landscape is being re-arranged around us all. As it seems has happened before…

This thought started with the word star, and why it might get attached to a celebrity once they reach a certain level of popularity. And how a recent description I read in a book referencing Edgar Cacey and how he saw a star type shape representing the collective consciousness. With all the points on it being each individual, all connected. Some only on the outer reaches of the thoughts, and others with abilities to delve a bit deeper into the abyss of collective consciousness and thoughts.
So, when a person is put forward as a ‘star’, to take the thoughts of millions of people and have their attention, does that create a mini version? A small sub group who become more separated from the collective consciousness and become part of another, worshipping a fake creation, rather than focusing on yourself or the bigger picture. And often hooked in by the lure of a melody, but there are also movie ‘stars’ who get the media attention necessary to make them be a fixation for many.
We also have stars used in symbolism, the five pointed one being associated with paganism, six pointed for the star of David, and an eight pointed star of Ishtar. The shape of the things in the sky we call stars do not actually appear in that shape though when viewed through a telescope. So, I wonder instead of the apparent group consciousness we are said to be part of. And if by distracting your thought towards one of the points that is luring you in, do you then start to lose your own subconscious connection to your stream. Instead you get sucked into someone else’s, making them ‘shine brighter’ by taking others energy and thoughts. Kind of leads back to my article They Are Vampires, But Not As You Know It, and of my speculations of thoughts and energy being harvested in The Main Arena, also associated with ritual gathering of great numbers of ‘adoring fans’ to give them the attention and validation they require. Perhaps.
But the idea of the group consciousness is indeed not a new one, and has been described as a giant mass with points to denote all the individuals that are part of it. Giving form to what I had only thought of before as The Hive, and only as a negative thing, likening us to drones rather than a collective of free spirits taking part in a rather elaborate learning process. Bound to the earth by flesh, but also seems we are bound to a bigger existence by thought and what we have called consciousness. And just as humans appear to seek to dominate and manipulate our earthly realm, it would stand to reason that there would also be interference towards any subconscious or spiritual abilities we might have. Dulling the senses enough so that we mostly forget, but like a nagging thought tapping you on the back of the head, it stays with you, hoping one day when the time is right, you will remember…

A follow up piece to Dreamy, or Terrifying?, speculating on things that might occur while sleeping. Subconscious, possibly supernatural things that seem a bit out of our realm. But maybe that’s because they are out of our realm, and perhaps when we sleep or are in a certain state, we too wander from what we normally consider ‘here’.
A couple of films first of how this thought manifested, the first one has been thought of by me a number of times, and quite possibly countless others over the years. As the concept was a new and shocking one at the time, and of course as I have mentioned before, psychological genius in the horror genre to make you afraid of something you have to do every night. Sleep.
Nightmare on Elm Street – if you don’t know it, look it up and you’ll understand. But for those who do know it, may or may not have been impacted by it, but some certainly were. In my mind rightly so, as the idea that something evil was waiting for you to fall asleep so they could stalk you wasn’t a comfortable one.
Flatliners – although this is about after death and coming back to life, something follows them back. And it is in dreamy or altered states they experience that creepy entity that is now ‘attached’ to them.
Ouija boards – it is said that they open a portal to that other side, but you can’t then see what you summon. And it is said they too can ‘attach’ to people, potentially causing disturbances and curses and even latch on generationally to a whole family. Maybe not entirely sleep related, but if that is a thing, maybe when you are unconscious, you are vulnerable to it.
Succubus and Incubus – both sleep demons and are the male and female counterparts for seducing people in their sleep. Sounds quite stalky to me. But it shows that there have been ideas of something latching onto you in your subconscious state for quite some time. The first mentions they say of them goes back to ancient Mesopotamia circa 2400 BC.
Reincarnation – in some religious faiths, they don’t believe in reincarnation, so if a child talks of a past life and experiences, some believe it’s demonic possession. That demons have accessed the child’s subconscious and are feeding them thoughts.
There is also the subject of night terrors that could be part of this, that it isn’t just sleep paralysis and they aren’t just made-up thoughts or hallucinations. Like I said, it could be that we are extremely vulnerable when we sleep, and not just because of things in the waking world…

It is said you should thank farmers three times a day, or however many times a day you eat. And if you grow your own, then I guess you thank yourself and nature. But in reality, most people rely on farmers for the staple crops of ingredients that go into most food. So, although there are other manufacturers and industries that deal with the raw materials and turn them into something else, it all starts at the farms and in the fields.
Second to them should be the truckers, who then assist to transport all those goods around. And there are many other branches to the overall transport and cargo industry, but they represent the to your door or shop aspect of it.
Farmers represent food and truckers represent transport for this. And I have already written about farmers getting a hard time in Farmer vs Pharma, and a couple of articles about food in You Are What You Eat and If You Control The Food. But many people are aware of just how much our systems are under attack. Meddling beyond the realms of reason into people’s lives, trying to force change of diet, habitat, systems, finances, emotions and thoughts towards things. All in one go. You will eat bugs, you will stay in your 15-minute zone, you shall not travel, you will comply. And all that other rather totalitarian nonsense they keep spouting. As if repeating it makes it sound any better, or that people will ‘friendly up to it’ if they hear it enough.
So, of course, with that being the projected future the meddlers are trying for, those who grow the food and those that transport it would be in the line of fire. And that’s why I always thought, if those two groups start protesting, that’s a really big alarm being sounded for everyone. That corporations have outgrown governments publicly, and they want to decide the next phase of society over the heads of the politicians. As with previously, they want to change the will of the people to fit the products they want us to buy, rather than sell what the people want. My article Consumerism goes into that concept a little more. But this time round, it appears the politicians have served their purpose of appearing incompetent, so the people can be pushed towards ‘a new way’. The levels of sinister corruption are off the charts, and to be honest, they always were, but now it’s out there for everyone to see. If you are paying attention and can comprehend such a large and unfolding plot.
But with so many areas of life under attack, I can understand why many can’t keep up. Or don’t have the mental energy or capacity to fight such an extended battle against the constant barrage. Its psychological warfare on top of the very real and physical changes they are trying to implement. Keeping people distracted and busy with entertainment and worry while they just plough ahead. As a steamroller might, just plodding along, expecting you to move out of the way and then casually crush you if you don’t. No care or concern, just a faceless machine flattening life and society. That’s why they don’t ask anymore, or pretend to do things democratically, they don’t have to, clearly. But where does that leave us? The ones on the ground who are caught up in the changeover and know that it can’t be as it was. Well, I can’t help thinking again about that rogue element…
“They can never really quite factor in all the variables.
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.”
