In The Closet

A Door, or to be more precise, the door of a wardrobe or cupboard. With a fantastic story or magical adventure, if you go through and follow the lure that led you there. However, there was usually a price or penalty for straying into lands unknown, often with a dark undertone.

Narnia – a serious adventure ensues from this tale, and is one of the first ones I think of when it comes to crazy wardrobe lands.

Time Bandits – this is the second one I think of, again a thrill ride of events, with a demon like supreme being overshadowing the fun.

Poltergeist – not such a fun adventure on the other side of that door, and gives reason to wonder what might just be on the ‘other side’.

Monsters Inc – Doors to children’s bedrooms through their wardrobes, creepy as hell as a storyline. But because it’s animated and colourful, the weird under and overtones don’t seem to get discussed much.

Coraline – not quite a wardrobe or cupboard, but A Portal through a tiny bricked up door, not a wardrobe, but still the face of the portal to an alternate ‘reality’.

Alice in Wonderland – no door, but she fell through a rather long and strange tunnel. As with a few other tales of tunnels, the Woolpit Green Children and the origin of the cabbage patch kids. Although they are often said to be caves and tunnels, so the story widens once you start factoring in caves.

Winchester House (California) – a very strange house and one I was fortunate enough to visit many years ago. It has lots of features that don’t make sense, but one of them are doorways that open to solid brick walls – like the above in Coraline. And wardrobes that are doors to the next room. Weird on the face of it, but maybe not if it was perhaps for others to use, if you catch my drift.

But it seems there is definitely a theme of something lurking and using doorways as a gateway from somewhere else. And as I always say, it could just be imagination and good storytelling. Or it could be, something does have access through those portals, and is indeed, lurking…

Stone Cold Mystery

We have some rather compelling stone mysteries around the world, buildings, sculptures and remnants of a time past that we can barely get our head around these days. And if we didn’t have so much of it just lying around and still in situ, I doubt we would believe it to be true and would consign it to myth and fiction. But they are there – Baalbek in Lebanon, the Moai on Easter Island, Gobleki Tepi in Turkey, Petra in Jordan, Churches in Ethiopia, Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia and many others – the African Pyramids, South American Pyramids, vast quarries and evidence of activity and grand projects across the globe. And some things are a bit further along in the weathering and aging process, showing only a hint of what once was, and imagination seems to fill in the gaps for the archaeologists and historians sometimes. Like Stonehenge and the multitude of other stone circles all throughout Europe and the world, Dolmens in Spain and Portugal, Menirs and Carnac stones in France. Various sites in the Americas, Russia, China, Japan and so on.

And people speculate on things that appear to be left overs from something, that isn’t quite recognisable anymore, but something about it catches our eye. And whether we create patterns as they say people are prone to, or we are actually just good at spotting patterns. The Richat structure in Africa for example with its concentric circles, was put forward as a possible candidate for the elusive and legendary Atlantis, and I can see why. But I recently read an excerpt from a 1747 journal, which described a petrified city of round form in Africa, with the usual strange direction of that time period. Two days south of Ouguela, and seventeen days south-east of Tripoli. Make of that what you will, but depending on the mode of transport, you could find yourself perhaps near the Richat Structure. Although there are a number of places named Tripoli, and as things are renamed and moved, who can say for sure.

There is another twist to the story of stone though, as we also have rumours and legends of abilities, and of curses, magic and of people and places being turned to stone in an instant.

Medusa – one of three sisters, all Gorgon’s who could turn people to stone if they looked at them.

Return to Oz – in the sequel to the original, Dorothy found all the inhabitants of the emerald city had been turned to stone by the villain.

Willow – acorns that can turn things to stone when it touches them, but there was also a scene near the end where the ‘abandoned’ castle showed the people encased in what looked like crystal stone. Obviously, they all get saved at the end, but almost as if they were in a cryo stasis. Which then makes me think of the Superman scene, when Zod and other two are trapped in the 2D crystal spinning off into space.

So, could it be that there is a type of process that can petrify an entire city? Well, if you look at Pompeii, it seems there is a known process that can capture a place and people in time, solidified to then be buried or face the ages and elements as part of the landscape. Could it have happened in other conditions we aren’t quite aware of yet? Where we see ‘old stone’, could be much newer than we give it credit for and have a more human origin than we would care to believe. We do however, like to build and record things in stone by way of statues, sculptures, carvings and architecture, using it to shape the world around us, and leave a record behind us. Even if as time goes by, we aren’t exactly sure what those records are trying to tell us. But that is where it becomes a mystery, and based on what we have to hand in these modern times, the game is definitely afoot…

Memory Stealers

Are we really sure that what we remember are actually our own memories? Or that they are accurate and can be trusted? My articles Memory and Hard Copy go into a couple of angles on memory, and why it might serve a purpose to mess with, confuse or destabilise it for people, so they don’t know what is true or not.

Dark City – yes, that film again, but part of the main aspect of it came to mind again when thinking about this. The fact they have stolen the people from somewhere, and then wiped their memories, instead creating new ones for them and injecting them directly into the brain. Upon awakening from a enforced ‘sleep’, they are the ‘new person’ and have no recollection of anything previous.

Alzheimer’s – a disease which affects memory, thinking, behaviour and social skills.

Hippocampus – the part of the brain that is responsible for memory, behaviour and emotion.

It seems the disease is a cruel twist of nature, to rob you of your memories and emotions towards the end, making life confusing, difficult and a strain on the brain and on those around the person. But is it entirely natural? Is it a consequence of something that ends up building up in the brain, and goes somewhat unnoticed for the longest time. Only put down to age, or an unfortunate set of genes, or whatever they come up with to try and ease the burden. Because it would be so much worse if you knew you could have prevented it, or actually made it better once discovered.

And this is where I theorise about our memories being messed with on purpose, because if we don’t remember facts, dates, personal history and so on, then how can we pass it down? A part of the generational ancestral line gets broken, and can be replaced or rewritten in a much smaller timeframe, with less ‘removals’ I shall call them.

And perhaps we will start to see more of it among younger age groups. I had thoughts towards it after all those nasal swabs were encouraged (and possibly still are in some places). Wondering if that in itself was a quicker way to damage, or interfere with the hippocampus early on, no longer content to wait decades for a build-up of toxins or pollutants. Wanting a much faster result for purpose. And if those people have suffered damage in any way to that area, then as mentioned above, memories, emotions and behaviour can and would all be affected. It could go some way to explain some of the ‘personality changes’ people have mentioned along the way, observed in others. Of course, it could also just be a consequence of all the extra stress, pressure and unknowns being thrown at people on an almost constant basis by way of future threats, so there is a lot to contend with mentally. But if you aren’t functioning properly within that, then it will create an even more difficult arena to find normality.

I can’t help thinking though, that normality is no longer on the cards, and never was, just an illusion of it that is no longer needed. And it might sound far-fetched to think that they can inject actual memories into people, or extract them – but when I give it thought, there are other representations of that kind of thing.

Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films, in one of them he uses his wand to extract a memory and ‘save it for later’ to be viewed in one of their magical devices.

Dark Crystal – the crystal is used to extract the life force and memories of their slaves, leaving them as numb zombie type creatures.

Batman Forever – the Riddler and his invention to harvest the thoughts and mental energy from people while they watch television.

Like I said, it might sound far-fetched on the face of it, and the mechanics of the ideas put forward in the movies somewhat elaborate or fantastical. And just as they may be able to remove certain things, there is no saying they can’t put them in there either – the rise in reports of intrusive thoughts springs to mind there. But who knows what they can achieve through signals, implants, drugs and frequencies – as we don’t even know ourselves how our brains work so, how can we say for sure they haven’t been infiltrated. As I have said before, be mindful of your thoughts, and sometimes it might just be a good idea to question, whether those thoughts are really your own…

How Weird?

In recent years I have heard the term Hollyweird, to denote how strange and weird the world of entertainment is, specifically the movie industry that centres around Hollywood and the main players of how it appears. And from what I have been reading and wondering, the word weird doesn’t quite cut it, but will suffice for now.

The super weird subject of EGI’s keeps popping up in the public arena I have noticed, further to other gender discussion you’ll find in A Strange Affair, A Slippery Slope, The Clothes Do Not Maketh The Man and The Face Of A Clown, A Masked Reality. But this one appears to be a growing can of worms and as it keeps milling around in my mind, I’ll give it form.

If you aren’t aware, there are rumours that there is an Elite Gender Inversion program afoot, hence the abbreviation, EGI. Meaning across the board in entertainment and other industries, people born as men have apparently been masquerading as women for decades. Now, it may well seem far-fetched and preposterous, and quite a stretch for the imagination to believe that all the people being touted as ‘changelings’ are such a thing. So, I will break it down into a few elements, as if you start to unpick the why of that project, then it does actually seem more plausible than it first appears. The other points of how and who can be factored in after the initial reasons of the why.

If you wanted to encourage women to be at the forefront of certain things, or to strive for that, then who better than to lead them, but women. So, suddenly prominent women are placed in corporate positions, in adverts, in politics, in media and so on, showing that society was progressive and inclusive finally. But wait, could it be that there was a twist after all, that in the overall disdain for women and need to hold them down, a bait and switch occurred? A manufactured standard of a ‘woman’ was created, an unobtainable version to actual women, but one they would try to attain and model themselves on. Accepted by their male counterparts, because there is something so very masculine about them. Now, just the conversation about it serves a double purpose, firstly, it either means that we have been deceived and no women in fact have achieved any positions of wealth, or power, or importance and it’s all been faked. Or, women have indeed had achievements to be proud of, but now that will be taken away because some people will think they were in fact, men. It’s a win, win in the new world of misinformation and the lines being blurred between what we knew as fact and fiction. Back to the idea of it being all men, who have been tinkered with from a young age to be part of the ‘Characters of Illusion‘ and show women how they should be. And men now too are being pummelled with all sorts of similar tactics, beauty standards, how masculine you should be, your role in the household or in society etc, and they always did. But now it has ramped up a bit for them too.

And what are the psychological repercussions of having an unattainable standard to try and emulate? Could that help to facilitate internal confusion, eating disorders, depression, unrealistic expectations and thoughts? Possibly, as all that can just come from looking at what has been carefully crafted as beauty and perfection and been shoved down your throat as such, just from the feminine form. But if you factor in a general dislike of women, and how much it would torment them to never be able to look like what apparently men fawn over, that seems like something psychopaths would do. Then have a double laugh over the fact that men who say they like women, are actually getting turned on by men. And would play into this whole weird set up being exposed of sexual identity, gender reassignment and confusion that has been filtering its way into and through society and institutions for a few decades now. I watched a 1993 film the other day for the first time, and it made me chuckle. Last Action Hero, when the kid gets transported into the movie world, he makes a comment about how beautiful everyone is, and that’s how he knows it’s not the real world. Aside from the obvious meaning, he said it just after I had commented on how all the ‘women’ in the scenes, looked like men in drag, extremely tall, big hands, heavy set make up and very mannish. So, it has been there for some time, in the form of entertainment slowly changing our perceptions of things which we don’t always even notice, and sometimes it really is easy to see that something isn’t quite right.

Or, another wild theory in all this, is that they have been ‘putting something in the water’ for a while now, possibly more than just the overwhelming amount of drugs and contraceptives making their way into the water supply. Which in itself could have possibly caused a strange scenario where women are producing too much of the male hormones, and visa versa for men, who end up ingesting more female hormones than the human system can work around. So, men become feminised, and women become masculinised and as this would happen from conception onwards, could go some way to explain skeletal differences being pointed out as a marker to ‘spot the EGI’s’ – and it may well be that they are EGI’s, but could also be a way to hide the changing of everyone bit by bit, because we are focusing on a few examples who are the extreme version. The film LA Confidential shows how long they have been tinkering with faces and bodies, to chop and change what is, to create what they would like. This might just be the next phase, working towards that A-Gender that seems to be on the cards. People being homogenised, all the differences being exposed so they can be merged.

It’s apparently across the board though, in movies, modelling, music, politics, and any area where people are iconised for just doing what many others can do, but they are picked out as special. And quite possibly have been bred for purpose and don’t even know it, just like in the film The Island, where they didn’t know, and had the repeated phrase ‘You are special’ told to them, and ‘You want to go to the Island’. Seems even more creepy now once you link it to the Epstein Island getting a fair amount of attention for being a hub of child trafficking, Disney cruises stopping off there and various other child related and celebrity rumours. One Big Pie of weird, but just how weird remains to be seen…
