Like A Car

There is no equality when it comes to cars. We seem to be fully aware of the differences and accept them. Some big, small, fancy, practical, fast, slow, clunky, sleek, etc. Then, we have differences in pricing, taxing, insuring, and repairs, colours, accessories, and preferences. They are subject to scrutiny, MOT’S, and monitoring for speed, road worthiness, and, ultimately, safety. A serial number, annual checks, and whenever they feel like it, new rules or restrictions.

Do you feel like a car yet? Because what they propose for people is very similar in my mind, except the awareness and acceptance of inequality and difference. We are to be treated like cars, but ones that are all the same model, shape, size, and level of efficiency. Socialism. Where you are made to be all equal, get the same, are treated the same, and have the same expectations placed upon you. One size fits all.

But it doesn’t, does it? One size when it comes to life doesn’t fit all, clearly. Otherwise, there would be no need for billionaires, big houses, richness, or poorness as they class it. What seems to be occurring is a need from those billionaires to ‘buy poverty’ for everyone else. Playing a dangerous, high stakes game amongst themselves, where the people are pawns, hired and expired as necessary.

All these strange and restricting ideas and policies, enacted by people who don’t follow them, the rules are for thee, not for me. As seems apparent. And like with cars, if you start to restrict the road or come up with a stupid route, it causes a bottleneck, accidents, and detours. Imagine if they decided one day that all white cars weren’t allowed over bridges or through tunnels? But the next day, they decided red cars could only travel on B roads. It would get weird, difficult, and be deemed astoundingly ridiculous. Yet that’s what they are doing with people by essentially playing with their lives, restricting opportunities based on race, and creating an ever hostile environment for everyone. As the summer rumbles on, we shall see what the next move is in the rather odd plays of society and just how hostile it’s going to get.

The Golden Child

It’s a phrase I’ve come across on the internet, where people share ‘stories’ of their childhood and of the subtle or sometimes extreme favouritism that was prevalent within the sibling ranks. The golden child. And of course, it was a great film in the 80’s with Eddie Murphy and with slightly different meaning.

But in the set up where a seemingly equal situation should occur, there is a wild imbalance. Where favouritism and separatism creep in, and a difference of expectation, affection, and reward are often the result. And this can happen in all sorts of scenarios outside of the family structure, teacher’s pet, star employee, golden child etc, and seems to be wherever you have people. Because it’s clearly a trait that some humans have, not to just to have a preference, but to make sure it is used as a weapon and tool of dominance, of control and of manipulation.

The psychological effects are known, and that’s sometimes why people do it. Deliberate favouritism, to show you and tell you how someone else is better, more important, worthy, and qualifies for more. But that isn’t enough, it’s like they need to see you go without, see you thrown aside and be affected by being discarded. And it really isn’t a problem that only affects children at all, it’s just often when it begins or people are first exposed to it. Not that everyone notices, some people end up taking it all in and just end up thinking they aren’t good enough, or thinking they deserve to be treated as lesser because the systematic exposure to it gets ingrained and you become conditioned to it.

So, when an entire population gets shunned and has to watch the ‘golden child’ get adopted into the family with a very public and nasty replacement, it can be very hurtful, shocking and demoralising. As it would be if an actual parent did that to their own child, making sure everyone got to see them being thrown away and treated like crap over someone else. But it’s weirdly sinister with the government doing it to you, after they have conditioned you to see them as a caregiver and helping hand, because they also make you pay with your actual time, money and life to have it done to you. Having already trapped you into the systems that feeds it, with rules, laws, bullying and threats to force people to comply, to keep quiet and to keep handing over more of their time and money to keep it going. Making Money From Misery is an industry they don’t want to let go of, with new and elaborate ways to make people miserable…

Editors and Censors

As the Orwellian dystopian model becomes a technological reality in various forms, people are starting to have some very real and obvious concerns, as well they should. Yet, they have already been Monitoring us for quite some time, and when I gave it thought, realised we have had years of social credit systems, scoring and levels of what they deem ‘acceptable’ to be able to take part in society. Already discussed in Ninety Eighty-Four Ever. Being locked out of opportunity for bank accounts, housing, loans and mortgages, and other things you needed to ‘qualify’ for. But before the technological insertion into society, you could still work around that, get a job, work cash in hand, pay your way. Now that is what is being felt, but was decades in the making, where they start to shut out those last few ways of making your way without having to be approved, then ask for further approval if you want to do anything normal like work, get married, have kids and so on. At all stages of that there is a government hydra trying to insert themselves into that, to be in control of it, to dictate and steer it where they would like it to go. Funnelling you and what you do into the system.

It’s what we have come to know as free speech that is currently taking a hit, and the online safety act that appears to be for one thing, but is actually for another. The reasoning of it being to ‘protect the children’ usually means either the opposite, and is in fact a gateway to them, or it’s just a complete ruse, using an emotional tool like children to sway adult mentality. The idea of free speech is what’s being discussed at the moment, and where the line should be drawn with what people are ‘allowed’ to say online. Being able to be free to say what you want does not mean you automatically get to be free of any consequences of what happens thereafter. So, it’s the consequences that are also being talked about, as some people have found themselves at her majesty’s pleasure for simply writing some words, in the heat of the moment, with a regretful attitude being implied by later deleting said words of fury. And really, it strikes me as odd that people might fight for the right to be offensive, of hateful, or whatever it is that they want people to think, online. In the virtual world where you think you have an audience, clearly it means much to some people, yet, I wonder, would they walked down their local street at the same time of day, and started shouting the same words so everyone could hear them? An outburst, that if witnessed in real life would have got people talking, but not in a supportive kind of way. More like being audience to a spectacle making a scene, quite deliberately, in public. And would then be talked about thereafter because of it.

We have been censored in some way for such a long time, that it never seemed quite right that the internet didn’t seem to be, because the physical world is. Media editors get to decide the programming, newspapers editors decide the content, the spelling and language, books editors deciding what is acceptable to print. Teachers telling you what you can and can’t say, parents telling you, the world teaching you as you grow up how to present yourself and so on. But online, that has all been thrown out the window, instead wanting you to reveal the things that back in the day you might dare to secretly write in your diary, being mortified if it were found and read. Wanting a little privacy to say what you wanted without fear of repercussion or reprisal. Because we knew, even then, words, thoughts and actions do indeed have consequences. If writing things down and saying things wasn’t an issue, then no one could ever be done for grooming, or brainwashing someone, or for planning a terrible crime. Because they were only words, right? Words and Meaning are important, but one should not overlook intention when looking at the words that are being put into the spotlight for media purpose. How they were presented, when, why and for what effect, and anything being used as an ‘example’ for a specific rule or change of law, should definitely be treated with a healthy dose of scepticism. Some people can be very Crafty with words, and in being able to ‘capture your attention’ with what they want you to see and know. So, it’s necessary to be able to filter and choose what you absorb and engage in, and most importantly, know who and what it is you are giving your time, thoughts and energy to…

Narciship

Like a ship. Sailing through the waters of their life, looking for wind for their sails, looking for ballast, cargo, and crew to get them where they are going. The world is full of ships, all passing each other, working together, or battling it out and descending into piracy. Most small relation-ships just trying to find calm waters, reliable ‘crew mates’, and a worthy destination, understanding that cooperation, fairness and consistency make for a steadier ship and a better journey.

My article Rocking the Boat has already likened people to boats, and this one just goes a bit further. We seem to have a large battle ship stealthily making it’s way through the ocean of society, the government. Randomly firing at people’s boats, drowning some, maiming others, and then waving a white flag to show they are ‘friendly’. But once they have boarded your ship, or roped you onto theirs, the intent changes somewhat and you end up being part of their set up. We also have the scaled down version occurring at the same time, with smaller ships patrolling the waters, looking for outcasts, loners, drifters and anyone who appears to be out of their depth.

Not so they can help them, or save them, but to pretend to offer them sanctuary for a more personal purpose and need. Just as we catch a great number of fish in a net to be food or materials, the same method seems to apply to people but as a different commodity, although there is speculation that some of those ‘caught’ in the current net of society do indeed, end up as food. But those narciships that are also sailing through, weaving their way through almost undetected, do very well to mimic the other normal boats and ships for a time. But once you are on board, it’s revealed to be more like that pirate ship mentioned before, with a demented captain looking for crew, ballast and a need to consume or drain whatever sets foot on deck. Then looking for other ships to destroy, and not caring if it all sinks and takes everyone with it.

And that is why it really does seem to be rather an important skill to learn genuine cooperation, to really know what it is and means. How much easier things can be when you work together, ‘two minds are better than one’, ‘more hands make light work’ and other sayings like that where it reveals the benefit of it ideally being for all parties involved. So, as you sail through your life, and the sometimes calm and sometimes choppy waters, there are many different types of vessels you will meet and pass. And just as ships used to have flags flying high for identification, we do have similar in people, showing their allegiances and intentions now and again by way of the same, flags, clothes, colours and loyalty to a captain. Showing they do not steer their own vessel, but more have been roped onto someone else’s and are being ‘dragged along for the ride’. Which appears to be easily done, as there is no shortage of opportunists and recruiters for their own cause. Because when it comes to commanding your own life, it is quite a responsibility. Knowingly taking charge of your own ship, throwing all mutineers and usurpers overboard, accepting what is necessary and standing up to do what needs to be done…

A Vote for Nobody

The word Vote. Originating from the Latin vovere, meaning to vow. Instead, we use it for political purposes mainly, where its definition is “a formal indication of a choice between two or more candidates or courses of action, expressed typically through a ballot or a show of hands.”

The overall voting systems that have been with us for quite some time are big business, here and abroad. To keep the illusion in place of people choosing their ‘leader’, electing someone to enact the ‘will of the people’ which of late has become a weird game of picking the best of a bad bunch. And as we know, when it comes to wanting to win and be in charge, during their campaigns they will say whatever they have to in order to win. Then it all falls to the wayside and excuses follow once in place, often with a bait and switch, changes and unforeseen issues that then get blamed on the previous party, not enough money, or whatever blag they come up with. I see no difference in colour or party name now when it comes to the politicians, they are all the same, going round in a dead-end circle, creating a tag team of destruction. Spending a lot of time talking, lying, blaming, meeting, and spending money, but not a lot of doing. Well, at least not doing what they are supposed to, to adhere to the social contract with the people, the one they actually take our money for, they one they have breached and voided.

Clearly the last election showed significant numbers have had enough, and didn’t vote at all, which meant that someone got in on rather less votes than would be liked, but it clearly scared them a bit. Because if no-one voted, at all, where does that leave it? How can you have a social contract with the people when there are no people for you to govern? Not that they do govern, currently they are on a mission to break down, destroy, and reorganise Britain and its native population. Hoping the new voters will save them, or follow them, or whatever it is they are bribing them for. With handouts galore of free housing, education, healthcare, money, travel, leisure activities, holidays and more. All with the money taken from taxpayers we are told, while those taxpayers have been excluded from much of those things throughout their adult life.

It’s a strange thing to see each group of people targeted, pensioners, workers, employers, students, landlords, business owners and all the other domestic and native infrastructure we have. Being bulldozed by homogeny, same shops, same demographic, run by the government, funded by the taxpayer, who for the most part, don’t actually have anywhere else to go. With the greedy government taking more and more, and throwing it at others right in people’s faces. Making sure we hear about the numbers of people arriving, where they are staying, how much money they are getting, as well as the companies benefitting from all the contracts. The hotels, the lawyers, the charities. All playing their part in this weird tale of destruction.

And the baton of responsibility is now to be handed down, to the 16- and 17- year-olds, to bring them into the voting fold. Another generation to groom for their allegiance, just as we all were back then too for when we came of voting age. It became clear over the years though, that they never did what they said they would, and now we understand just how deceitful and underhanded they have been. With strategic deals and contracts, hidden agendas and ideals, all apparently funded by the people’s money. It’s easy to splash it around when it’s not yours or you have no respect for it, or you didn’t earn it with your own time. And even more so when there are no repercussions for wasting it, or losing it or simply just giving it away so you can look important. Because that’s where we are, being bled dry by a group of leeches, who would very quickly change their ways if it was their own personal cheque book being used for all the ‘projects’ that someone signs off on. If the final invoice were to be addressed to them personally, a very swift change would occur and you can believe they would not be so frivolous and spend happy with it. Because they seem awfully good at hoarding their own money and assets, yet cannot seem for the life of them to hang on to ours, and in fact, keep trying to find new ways to take more…

The Important Word

Things get changed often when it comes to Words and Meanings, especially these days with the definition of meaning being changed right under our noses, and the important point often gets lost or buried over time. The latest example which bothers me greatly, is the talk of making it illegal to criticise a religion, not all of them, just one. Although maybe not just one, because if you add the prefix of ‘Anti’ and the extra word ‘Phobic’ on the end, it seems to become a rather useful silencing or manipulation tool. And one must question the amount of media attention that is now being thrown at the rather concerning issue of grooming gangs, and the significant numbers of perpetrators and victims. Quite the opposite of years ago, when it wasn’t discussed for fear of ‘inflaming racial tensions’.

But I realised, that was part of the problem in the media and part of the way they were able to suppress it. Because it shouldn’t be about a race at all, if someone rapist is a rapist, or a paedophile, or a cold-blooded murderer, then what should it matter what the colour of the person is or prefix given to them is. It seems that prefix is then used to try and steer people towards that as a focus, so it can lead to other topics, discussions, and ultimately then used as a political tactic or a media frenzy. To then steer it further away by talking of lessons, policies and laws. All the while it’s allowed to continue or hasn’t even been dealt with yet, which means you know they aren’t really talking about lessons and prevention in the future. They are using talking as a way of getting away with not doing. Deliberate procrastination, for what seems a much more sinister purpose.

In reality, they should just be called grooming gangs, or rapists, or paedophiles and so on. Only once they are behind bars and removed as a danger is there time to discuss their motive, their affiliations, their background, their psychology and so on. By putting an extra perceived identity or difference over people, distracts from their actions as an ordinary human who has crossed the line of humanity. And once you cross that line, we used to have quite clear laws and ways of dealing with those people. So, like with many things these days, you end up asking why would the establishment want lots of stabby, rapey, hateful, murderous types of people running around, who appear to be untouchable. Speculated on in The IPA’s, about why they are able to suddenly have all the rights in the world, to have access to all the resources of our country, and are being given priority over the native population which has funded it all, as far as we know.

By putting any kind of racial or religious slur in front of a real accusation of wrongdoing, seems to leave you wide open these days to be ignored, harassed or dismissed. And really, it shouldn’t be necessary anyway to add anything extra, other than circumstance and motive perhaps. And although either of those things may come up as motive by the perpetrator, it should not detract or sway the punishment in any way, just go some way to explain why they steered from the path of normality. And we can see that some very hateful attitudes are being encouraged to fester and flourish, which were always there and are not new by any means, but they never had such an open stage before. Where so many people have so little self-control, or mindfulness, or manners. Even in politics they do it all the time, to have people arguing that it was Labour who did this, or Tory who did that, and so much time is wasted trying to point fingers and shift blame. All the while no one actually does anything, that high-level procrastination being how the government operates. A lot of spending, a lot of talking, and not so much doing.

Focus on the problem words and not the prefix – politicians, rapists, grooming gangs, terrorists, murderer and so on and to me it really doesn’t matter what religion or race you are if you fall into those categories. Because the media and those who own it, are very good at knowing what a well-placed word can do, and how people will latch onto things, twist things or add their own prejudices and add to the distraction of point. So, we end up being caught in a loop of discussion, with peer pressure and shame being used against people to ‘keep the peace’, or whatever excuse they come up with for not doing anything about it. Just letting the destruction pile up and sticking to whatever plan they are following, and we unfortunately are all being dragged along with it…

A Way to Communicate

It’s not all about words. How we use them, convey them and understand them, there is also much more that goes into it. Facial expressions, energy, intention and approach. We already know just words can be and are used for purpose, as discussed in Words and Meaning and Crafty, but as a general tool needed in everyday life, it seems many overlook their potential, and power when it comes to society.

People with charisma, often noted as being able to say almost anything at all, if you do it in a charismatic way. So, it is their presence that gives words something extra, their delivery and timing. Often to great effect.

Passive aggressive comments and actions – for people who don’t know how to approach a conversation, situation or because they are trying to control the atmosphere and want people to either respond, or be dominated by their words. The ones who sigh under their breath, make comments to thin air, but expect anyone within earshot to say something or ask about their plight. Who clatter around in a rageful way, but act surprised when questioned what their problem might be. In fact, not just surprised, but offended. Look at me, don’t look at me kind of thing.

Shouting at people, not quite as effective as some people think. You may indeed get your basic point across, but often it is invalidated by the approach. Trying to let someone know how you feel, by making them feel bad, isn’t a good approach, and shouting is a good way to let them know a few things as well. Firstly, that you are not in control of your emotions, and once someone has lost control and started down that route, unfortunately trying to talk to them normally doesn’t work. So, you get dragged into shouting back in order to even be able to ‘talk’ to them. And secondly, they are being disrespectful towards you by raising their voice and using aggressive tactics.

How to Win Friends and Influence People – a book by Dale Carnegie. And one I was recommended to read many years ago. I enjoyed it very much, but already worked out certain things along the way just through paying attention. Being aware of the ways in which you approach things and people, you can end up getting the best out of people and situations, as I thought you were meant to. Yet some people get so very stuck in their ways, and believe others are the issue, or the obstacle holding them back. Not quite realising that it is they who are the obstruction, to their own life running a bit more smoothly. The internet having much to look at when it comes to interactions and how people decide to conduct themselves in a somewhat public setting, looked at in the article Putting Your Best Foot Forward. Where you do get to see the best and the worst of people, but only in words and in a well thought out and packaged format. And occassionally with a video and a face to emote what they want to, but not the full package of expressions you would expect when in person. Where you can see for yourself, and you can also feel for yourself. That skill we have of reading energy is stronger in person, and maybe part of the reason online is encouraged so much. For dating, education, finance, emotions, health, work, friendships and more. It diminishes part of our abilities to evaluate people properly, which for many is already impaired or non-existent.

When it comes to understanding people though, I have found certain quotes along the way have also been of great help, just to know that others have observed and encountered the same thing. And then went on to so eloquently explain the problem or lack or reasoning occurring in the conversational counterpart.

“She had lost the art of conversation but not, unfortunately, the power of speech.” ~George Bernard Shaw~

“I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” ~Alan Greenspan~

And it’s easy to get confused, with different meanings, intentions and interpretations of things. Which is why I think it is so important to be able to discuss, in a constructive way, what those differences or misunderstanding are. And if not, then just stop talking, and go your own merry way…
