I saw a post about people lining up for a number of jabs in very short succession, for various illnesses they now seem to have cures for by way of constant injections. Although lots of people keep getting sick, so are they really cures? This is one of the burning questions going around the block at the moment. Some would rather ignore it and pretend there is nothing to question, which makes me think they either don’t understand what is going on, or aren’t able to formulate a comprehensive discussion, argument or opposing opinion they can back up.
But what seems to be of note to people, is how strange it is that many seem to be repeatedly handing themselves over to constant medical procedures, on the say so of a faceless corporation, with no personal risk assessments being done at all. Even just to look at what the ingredients are of all those medications, and how it may affect your system, or not, or if the drugs react with each other, or not. Crazy that many people don’t even think of these things, despite the fact we have had pharmaceuticals around for so long, people seem to have thrown caution to the wind and gone with blind trust. We’ll see how that works out in the end if that is the case.
It dawned on me though, that maybe that isn’t entirely the case. That it again serves a purpose for them for us to just write off the ‘sheep’ who appear to be handing themselves over for sacrifice. Predicting perhaps that we will leave some behind thinking they will ‘hold us back’, and they did it to themselves anyway, justifying why it’s ok to leave them. But what if, it wasn’t entirely of their own free will, and they weren’t just willingly handing themselves over for a life of control. I thought of the cuckoo wasp again, and of other species, ones that use parasites to achieve their goal. It’s not pretty to watch, but there are insects that infect their host, get into their nervous system and start to control them. They call them zombie insects, because the insect appears to be going about its daily life, mostly normal on the outside and going through the motions. But it’s being forced to perform those duties, hosting the parasite via an insect, often by way of a certain wasp or fungi.
If you watch any of the insect videos of it, it’s quite hideous, but got me thinking. Not by accident of course, we have movies such as invasion of the body snatchers, and many a storyline about us being a ‘host’ for something. Not like us speculated on that idea a bit. But what if they had been infected with something, which makes them line up, marching towards doom with intent. Because they are not themselves anymore, in that instance. Controlled by something else which will lead to your demise, so it can thrive. So, whether it’s a mental or physical affliction, who can say for sure. And whether it’s just for control or monetary gain, who can say for sure. But many people can feel a dark undercurrent beneath the very sinister overcurrent, and as I always say, all options are being considered here…
The effect food has on your body is part of a big debate, old and new. And food is at the centre of much discussion these days, with net-zero trying to eliminate the existing methods of farming and agriculture and take control of all of our food. For the sake of new printed steaks, insects and lab grown meats and things. Trying to take away fresh, nutritious, healthy foods that have been the staple diet of millions of people for thousands of years, so we are told. Over the last century at least, there has already been a bit of an overhaul of our food, how we cook it, where we buy it, the packaging, fast food, chemicals, preservatives, pesticides and such. So, when I say healthy, I mean as can be expected.
But at some point, in my early 20’s I started to understand how food was directly responsible for how I felt on a physical level, which then in turn would affect my mental levels. Repeated bouts of various things requiring antibiotics from late childhood through to adulthood, made me believe I just didn’t have a very good immune system. It annoyed me that as soon as I started feeling run down, I knew what would follow, a couple of weeks of being ill, and a prescription. I think I just accepted that was how it was going to be. Meds seemed the norm to a point. But after I had left home, and had to look after myself, it seemed more important to understand why these things came about, and avoid it if I could. Partying was a very clear starting point I noted, staying up late, drinking alcohol and not getting enough sleep absolutely slayed me. When they say alcohol is poison, they mean it, and nearly every sip, I could taste it, never being agreeable with it, but forcing yourself on occasion as you sometimes do to try and fit in. Only eating sweets and sugary snacks throughout the day instead of real food, this was an issue for years, but once I started to learn about foods, it changed. Learning about carbs, and proteins and what vitamins and minerals are in things. And what those things are helpful for and any ailments that might benefit from them. It suddenly made food an awful lot more interesting, and once I adapted my diet to incorporate some high energy carbs, it helped.
It’s not the same for everyone at all, which is why I find it strange that we are given ‘one size fits all’ advice when it comes to food. What fats you should and shouldn’t have, how many eggs are good, bacon is bad, no we mean good. It chops and changes with the wind, because the truth of it is, they don’t know. It’s best guess, and whatever narrative they are trying to push at the time. What works for one, may not work for another, so it’s down to each person to find their own foods, I think. And your body is the gauge of that, but if you aren’t listening to it, or it isn’t talking to you, then I guess it might be a bit difficult. If I’m run down, I crave orange juice or fruit. If anaemic, i need steak or green veg, if tired, probably just need a nap. It’s not hard to listen if you are able to, what is hard, is being able to action it all the time. If you are at work, or in transit, you can’t always get the right food, you get what’s available. Or you don’t have time to cook, you eat what you can, and ordinarily, I would go with that too. having sustenance to keep going is more important, but that’s where I realise they have made it awfully convenient, to have to sacrifice good food and lifestyle, for the quick, fast, now lifestyle that apparently is so much better for us. It doesn’t appear to be.
The body is a filtration system really you see, and a damn good one at that – check out my article We are not obsolete where I mention that a bit, but when you don’t keep the system maintained properly, and let it get clogged then you will start to get issues. many have been talking about how those issues manifest, and some are saying, which I agree with, that it shows through signs of what we call illness or ailments. And since I have been learning more about herbs, flowers and plants for my salves, I have learnt more about their uses beyond just being aesthetic or being viewed as a pest. And it seems that for the longest time, we had cheap, readily available remedies for most things, that people had already spent years and lifetimes researching and testing, and handed those things down. I noticed a few years ago, before this ‘pandemic’ debacle that they seemed rather keen on getting rid of old wives tales, folklore and peoples on the ground knowledge. By way of regulations and industry, they seem to have the market sewn up, and perhaps, by way of other nefarious means. Because if you look into it, over the decades, it appears there have been many a person who has tried to make a breakthrough, to either cure cancer, or aids, or any of the created illness we see around us, then they are taken out of the loop. My article Opposition will give you a bit more on why that might be, but we are then left with a small group who know invaluable things, and a very large group who want to dictate every type of medicine and therapy, regardless if it is really suitable for someone.
Money is money at the end of day, and by hook or by crook, they seem determined to be part of the chain of grow food, eat food, live well. They are not needed in that equation to me, as they are going for ‘destroy food and create new food, force people to eat food, exist, living isn’t on our list’, or something like that. And so far in this current life we have, it seems there is much to distract us from listening to ourselves, many things that have been placed in our way. Not to say we can’t find a way round them, but our senses are being bombarded every day, and those are what we need to be functioning at our best, or at least have the opportunity to be able to. So in amongst all the toxins and chemicals, media, society and family influence, through all the frequencies and noises laid over the natural ones, we have to find a way to know what to do for ourselves if we can. Give our bodies the best chance at being able to function, and heal, and replenish itself. Because from what we have seen of late, the medical industry does not have any interest in people being well or healthy, and they would rather use health as a weapon over and against people, so now would be good time to start listening to if your body is trying to tell you something.
It’s the 50’s and marketers are trying their best and spending billions of dollars to work out and manipulate consumers. To change the customers habits and behaviours to better suit the corporations needs, rather than be there for the need of the people. My article Consumerism covers that a bit more.
But within these times, technology moved along and a distinct marketing advantage came forth. Television. Huge resources were put into it, much as they are today. They wanted to use television advertising to get to a much larger audience and therefore number of customers (adults), and potential customers (children). And then something happened in TV that caught a generations attention and gave them lots of data to work with apparently in unravelling how to create marketing situations on demand.
Davy Crockett.
The TV series happened and became hugely popular, leading to merchandise, leading to big sales for companies. Then just as they stocked up with more goods, it dropped off. This is apparently what led to then investing in fads, what causes them, how to maintain them, and steer them in the direction required. Being able to influence great numbers of people at once, through clever and psychological campaigns. As you can imagine it didn’t take long for it to move into other areas, if it wasn’t in them already. Military, political, education, medicine and any industry they wanted to boost and use to infiltrate people’s habits and wants. Entertainment was also high on their list it would seem with crazes and fads chucked at us left, right and centre thereafter.
Television helped all that massively, because while they had already been using the media and propaganda for decades, this gave them a whole new reach, and quicker. Now the internet has increased that capacity to an alarming level as has been shown by current events. The fact that recently we have been subject to a rather aggressive marketing campaign, whereby they readily admitted they had a whole team, studying our behaviour to scare us into compliance, covered in my article Nudge, nudge. They didn’t hide it, although didn’t admit they had been studying this idea for quite some time. With many of the systems, procedures and protocols ready for this ‘surprise emergency’, as well as the coordinated media campaign and government regulations across the board, in various countries. Another sign it was not random in any way, to me anyway. And really, as each country has reacted and we have been fed the media stories we are meant to read, things get pushed in the direction they would like. Demanding everyone’s attention, daily briefings, new rules every day, doom threats constantly, weekly clapping rituals, repeating certain phrases over and over. Almost as one would expect when trying to hypnotise people, and condition them to a new way of life. They say it only takes 90 days to form a habit, so the length of time imposed for various restrictions and hoo-ha was more than enough. And some people would have been quite overwhelmed and shocked by the ‘unfolding disaster’ which appeared to be around them, so would have been potentially in a more receptive state to hypnotic and coercive techniques. I wrote a piece about the coercion tactics The three d’s of conversion under coercion for a little more on that.
But we can see around us now that it is all out in the open, and the book I read to find out about all this motivational industry marketing is called The Hidden Persuaders, written in the 50’s when this was unfolding in corporate America. Well, it is no longer hidden, and isn’t confined to America. Global corporations under the guise of international organisations have set their sights on a new fad, and we are slowly moving through the phases of their ‘marketing plan’, to cajole, coerce and convince the masses that it is all ‘for the greater good’. Of lining their pockets is the part they don’t say. More taxes, more money, more richness going all the way to the top, literally starving and choking the people now while they take ever more. It’s relentless and will continue to be until someone pulls the plug on the whole devious scheme to ruin people who have now served their original industrious purpose. And now appear to be needed for their medical cannon fodder and constant surveillance plans, seemingly using a constant stream of ‘illegal immigrants’ as either a distraction, a replacement population, a waiting army, just to upset any local and community cohesion that could take place to fight back at the authorities? It’s anyone’s guess at this stage what their ultimate goal is for this strange situation we find ourselves in, and when it will turn nasty for them. We are encouraged to spend time trying to imagine how bad it is going to get for us, with all the disaster films they have made, Prepped for disaster, or clever programming? covered that a bit, so you don’t need to even use your imagination. But more time needs to be spent on when it does go wrong for them, because things will change afterwards, they will have to. The old times and ways really are going to have to be left behind, but that doesn’t mean you have to follow the sterile, monitored path they have waiting and are trying to steer everyone towards. Making it seem as though that is the only way, because it’s what they have worked so very hard for and it’s what they seem to want. But because everyone didn’t just hand themselves over to their ‘vision’ at the start of the ‘pandemic’, they now have to do it through crazy politicians stumbling over targets of net zero and a very driven marketing campaign of protesters/actors and well placed and timed events. Steering and shaping society and opinions as they want them, introducing music, drugs, lifestyles, motivations, dreams, products, ideas and all sorts of things they wanted you to be aware of, thinking and doing. Don’t ever think they haven’t thought about anything that is a ‘public release’ item, whether it be a media piece or releasing biological agents on the unsuspecting public like they also did in the 50’s and 60’s, they will have given it an awful lot of thought…
An honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay is how the saying went. But when you factor in taxes, it doesn’t quite work like that. Here’s how it goes.
You work for the day, and get paid, cash in the hand. On your way home, a bloke who lives somewhere stops you, and says “I need to take 20% of that money, to sort out people over there somewhere”. But how does he know that person is going to do what he says? He doesn’t. Therefore, a social contract begins to emerge, of promises and plans for that money. To ‘help the community’ and ‘for the greater good’.
That’s a very basic breakdown of how tax can look. And that’s just income tax. Add to that national insurance, stamp duty, corporation tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, vat and all the other things they can and do tax you on. For the average Joe though, who has already had money taken, it’s an extra bit of thievery on top. Because it’s not necessary. There are all these middle men who have shoehorned themselves between a person and living their life. No longer earn cash and spend it. No, that would be too easy. Now you earn money, they take some. You put it safely in a bank, they take some. You want to buy something; merchant fees then take some more. And people can’t just sell things anymore, you need licenses, regulators, and permissions as well as fees and charges. Same with building things, all have to be applied for, usually for a fee, then approved. You can’t just work hard, build your own house and live a life anymore, there are a hundred hoops to jump through just to even be allowed a roof over your head in some cases. And it’s all wrong. Especially as we have it so clearly thrown in our faces, that they cannot be trusted with all that money they are stealing from people, who have invested their time and lives to earn it in some cases. So, they take your time and money, then actually charge you for that right if they can.
We’ve also seen astronomical spending in the last few years under the guise of an emergency, all that money they hoarded for years, then just created out of thin air, eye-watering amounts. On nothing essentially, it just ‘disappeared’ into this bank account and that, for this contract and that, private discussions and deals made to take more, give less and laugh right in your face along the way. Printing the number and figures they are wasting, to really rub it in. Yet still we give them more, and more, and more. And all the while they are slowly draining what there is, putting spanners in the works here, there and everywhere. The kind of thing you might do to something you want to destroy, steal everything they have, smash everything they like and have, make it so they can’t have anything else. Too harsh?
We can’t overlook that while they took with one hand, they appeared to be giving back with another – offering debt willy nilly, tying people in to unreasonable social contracts and systems just so they could live, charging more if you can’t afford to pay – bank charges being a classic for that. “Oh, you’re overdrawn and have no money, well, we’re going to take another £25.00, which will make it worse, and then we will keep doing it…” no helping hand there, blunt corporatism that should have been warning of what was to come. It was never about people having enough, it was about seeing how much they could take, and keep taking. Convincing people along the way that it was necessary, and there was no way society could ever function without the ‘elected government’ to guide you, take your money and hold it over you, like an abusive parent who won’t let you go it alone. Tying those apron strings ever tighter, realising more money gives you more freedom, and if they don’t have that over you, you won’t listen or do what they tell you. So it becomes a self-perpetuating loop, of dependence, because if we didn’t keep feeding them all that money to lord it over us, and implement dangerous and destructive policies and procedures, then they wouldn’t have that over us. For people who are wealthy and well-positioned, the last thing they would really want to do is help others get to that position as well. Because if everyone has that, no-one is deemed wealthy and you can’t wield influence if everyone is special, or talented, or is well-positioned, it makes it null and void. Like if suddenly everyone decided to not recognise money as real, to view it literally as Monopoly money straight out of the box, pieces of paper that someone grabbed and declared themselves the banker, buying all the property and charging people rent, fees and utilities. But you can end that game, can’t you? Just get up and walk away, stop playing, ignore the ‘banker’ and suddenly they are just a regular person with no sway over anything, I can’t help thinking there is a lesson in that, and one we should be paying attention to…
You hear many people being called controlled opposition, and for many situations, it is. A tactic and trick to make it appear as though there is competition, but in reality, they are all on the same side. While they said no monopolies, they instituted them. And you’ll notice more and more how they say one thing, and do another.
But in the real world, where there does still remain two opposing forces to something, there will be tricks and tactics used as well. Like in chess, a series of strategic moves to take out and beat your opponent, or out manoeuvre them. Life really is no different at times. And this is indeed one of those times. Two years ago, an article was published in one of the psychology mags, saying along the lines of
“Conspiracy theorists were mentally ill and anyone not wearing a mask was a narcissist.”
And there it was, a chess move. I saw it clear as day, a pre-move almost, laying the stage for later use. I commented online that it would lead in nicely to them being able to label anyone with clear thought, ill and not capable when it became obvious that they hadn’t convinced everyone. For later use perhaps I thought.
Well, that later use appears to be trickling through now. There is talk in Canada, that doctors will be ‘instructed to medicate you if you refuse the covid jab’. The context is surrounding managing anxieties around vaccine avoidance. Prescription drugs and counselling. Do you see the slippery slope? The chess move? Your opposition doesn’t agree with you, tactic then moves in to silence, remove or convert opponent. My previous article A witch, how convenient can give you an idea of how easily it can be used and gotten away with.
We have recently heard too from a high-profile celebrity about controlling and coercive tactics being used by his ‘personal trainer’. And it seems now we understand many a celebrity or familiar face may have found themselves as a chess move in the end, and labelled mentally ill as a convenient way to discredit and remove them from the gaze of society. No questions asked, no-one comes to find you.
It’s also been apparent over the last few decades, how mental illness appears to have been encouraged and indulged somewhat. Because it makes an awful lot of money. From GP’s, medications, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, units, placements, etc, it’s all money for someone. They say one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure, in this case it is one man’s misery is another man’s fortune. Most things start with good intentions, and I’m sure trying to ‘fix people’ was one of them, but it’s not that anymore. At whatever point it was realised that a mentally weak population was easier to control, it steamed ahead. Holding back nutrition, education, opportunities and keeping people at the ‘level of society’ they believe best served a purpose. Then tying them up in debt, addictions, labels and hoops to jump through to ‘qualify’ for their systems. Now with pharmaceutical drugs, media, entertainment, laws, rules and regulations, they have all the necessary tools to control and eliminate all obstacles and competing views.
It has been noted how ‘convenient’ covid was in being able to implement their new systems. Crushing lots of small business competition over a short yet sustained period, with no-one to stand up to them. As soon as they authorised their emergency acts, it was inevitable they were going for the little guy. Coming down heavy on everyone but corporations, coming up with massive fines and extra council powers to ‘crack down’ on normal people. Yet many survived, and were savvy, but cannot keep going forever. Savings are being depleted, back-up plans being diminished, and all the while they are trying to keep their chokehold over society and the economy. And it is a chokehold, constantly stopping things from getting going again. Moving the goalposts, swapping politicians, pretending there is an emergency. Well, there is one, just not what they say it is. Because they are the emergency and problem. The middlemen, the ones who have come between you and your life because for some wild reason, they seem to think they know better, and they can tell you what to do and how to live. It’s bizarre when you think about it, the whole voting system, tax system and set up of politicians.
But those are all chess moves, each one thought through with a series of outcomes that will lead to other moves. And once you are in the game, you are restricted by it and part of it. That’s why people say, don’t play the game, and if you have watched a certain film from the 80’s you’ll know this line
“The only winning move is not to play”.
Easier said than done when they have so many people tied in through various means, but something to work towards perhaps…
It started with convenience, everything in one place, free parking, lots of choice. Moving into larger stores, more shops available, 24 hours shopping. Supermarkets gradually took over as the main source of the family weekly shop, with many citing it as theDeath of High Street, but years later, many smaller shops still remained, although getting less and less. My article highlighted a particular issue I found with local shops, so supermarkets got my business instead. But times are changing again, with supermarkets now being a major player in trying to roll out digital and automation, using something extremely necessary for survival. Food. Written about in If you control the food, it’s become very obvious of late that there are moved to control, restrict and change what people are ‘allowed’ to eat, as well as wanting everyone to be monitored and controlled through I.D’s, apps and routine medical testing. To me supermarkets are a possible front line for this change to take place, and if people realise what part they are playing, and how important they are, maybe it will change how some people view this situation.
I’ll note the problems I have with some of the new things moving in, from things I have read and articles I have seen over the last few months.
Access via app stores only – where you won’t be allowed into the store unless you have a smart phone, which has the stores app on it, which you must sign up for, and scan in with. No app, no entry. Just like the good old days, if your names not down, your not coming in, kind of thing.
More self-service tills – many have differing views on this, some like the streamlined aspect of it, no human interaction, and all very ordered, or so it seems. Because often they have issues, and always there is a human presence to deal with said issues, or give guidance to the untrained person being expected to use the equipment. But the main gripe people who aren’t on board have is that it is an obvious move to cut down on staff, and to save/make more money for the company, while all the while the shopping environment becomes a more sterile atmosphere, but doesn’t seem to be as nice, or clean as before. So sterile in attitude, not in appearance or efficiency unfortunately.
Petrol pumps – it seems that some places, while it seemed easier to pay at the pump, a new rule, apparently introduced by the banks, is that they will reserve an amount of around £120.00 from your bank, and refund/return what you don’t spend within up to 60 minutes. Another seriously cheeky move in the game of money, transaction and charges. I have shared my views on Cash and the money they make from us having money, so this is just another move to have more say than they should about what is done with your money. Because once you hand it over to the bank, are you really in control of it anymore?
But supermarkets like I said, play a frontline role in this, because if enough people just blithely download these things, and allow others to be restricted or refused food because they didn’t download an app, or didn’t want to have a phone with them, then we are in real trouble. Which may be so, because given how recent events went, and many people without a seconds hesitation, actually wished people harm because they didn’t ‘do as they were told’. So, if someone is threatened with no access to food, what will they do? Will they refuse? Will they shout about it? Will they comply? I guess we will see where people will fall on that one, if the authorities and corporations are allowed to continue with their agendas and targets which seem set on decimating the food chain and normal food, farming and agricultural systems in place. So, it is Convenience, or dependence? because it seems awfully like we are being streamlined to fit around their corporate systems, targets and services. The consumer becomes the consumed…
So many lives have been interrupted, steered in a different direction, and in some cases, halted altogether. But at the beginning of this, I couldn’t help thinking of all the situations people would be missing out on. The implications of the decisions being imposed on a nation, being felt at a very individual level for so many all at once. Aside from the very sinister occurrences covered in It looked sinister, it was other things too that may seem quite ordinary or mundane to some, but those things shape your life, and you. Give you experiences which help to build your character and form your personality as you get older. Once lockdown started, I really felt for people. No socialising, casual shopping, get togethers, parties, hanging out, moving, getting married. Or meeting new people, dating, starting new jobs or travelling. So much either put on hold or has gone forever. Time does not wait though, it marched ever on as it does, and people’s lives were held in place, or tipped upside down.
Because alongside that, ran other pressures, worries and concerns. A campaign of propaganda, coercion, fear and a relentless drive to change people’s way of thinking. A lot of strain and pressure has been put upon people, by the government, local vicinity, and in many cases, their own friends, family and colleagues. And there we really got to see ‘peer pressure’ in action. In fact, they encouraged and facilitated it, allowed bullying and cajoling of people, as part of the plan to wear people down and in some cases break them. My article Nudge, Nudge goes into that a bit more as well as The three d’s of conversion under coercion. But really what many seem to overlook now, is their own behaviour during that and how they are now viewed. It really has revealed a starkly uncaring and nasty streak in many, where under other circumstances may not have had a chance to be exposed, but once you know, you know. And it really does (or at least should), change the way you look at someone. Knowing they wanted to throw you to the wolves, just to make themselves ‘feel better’. Not to actually save them, or help them in any physical way, just to feel better about being duped themselves, because that in some cases is what it highlights. That they were easily fooled, just followed orders and didn’t actually use their brain. Now, that can’t be said of all, some who indulged the new experimental drug did actually think it through with what they thought they knew, and genuinely thought they were making the right decision, because they listened to people who cared not one jot about them. Overriding their own concerns, or ignoring the concerns of others, blind trust I guess. Even people close to you can lie and take advantage of you, so why it wouldn’t be considered for complete strangers and ones who stand to profit financially from your decision, is beyond me.
So, people are now on a different trajectory from before, things have been redirected and rearranged. Lives, destinies and paths have been altered and are being steered somewhere new. That doesn’t mean you can’t take control of the situation, and take back some of that, but if you continue to drift along with no purpose or aim, you will get pulled along with the prevailing current, or worse, sucked under. It can’t go back to how it was before, too much has changed, too much damage has been done for forgive and forget, I can see that. The toll it has taken on people from all sorts of angles is clear, and still goes on, so there hasn’t been time to try and work through it, move on from it or work out how to move on from it. I believe that’s part of the overriding plan to reshape society, throwing constant changes and variables at people, meaning you can’t find your feet and stabilise, to regroup as you might call it. Because if we did regroup, we would be stronger and more of a threat. That’s why it serves a purpose for everyone to be at odds with each other, about everything we could be – colour, height, weight, gender, education, politics, vaccines, music, religion, media, etc. Personal preference is now used as a basis for throwing insults, excluding people and trying to show them up, a classic example of that being “I really like apples. Oh, so you hate oranges then?” It’s an odd thing, to be expected to defend yourself against that which you have no issue. Which is the issue to people who want division. It’s not enough to like something, they need you to hate something too it would seem, And all it has done in many cases, is make people stay quiet about what they like, so they don’t get accused of hating something else. And others, well, they are all too vocal with what they hate, constantly needing others to be aware of it. I guess it makes me wonder, what is it they actually like? Do they know? Do they understand the concept of like, and acceptance, and tolerance? Not so sure, yet that is what is it is claimed to be. There seems to be a lot of redefining of terms these days, but that doesn’t make the change so, it just writes down what someone thinks it should be. We are in a murky world of definitions at the moment, and maybe we always were, where they invent and define terminology to control, dictate, bamboozle and ultimately gain an advantage. Then they re-invent them, when the mood changes, or the narrative needs a shift, swaying the collective mindset of society in the direction that gives them the upper hand.
And what of that upper hand, previously it seemed to be for the benefit of just Consumerism, or to push people’s ideals and wants in a certain direction. But now it has taken a rather insidious turn, and no longer seems to be about spending and industry, it seems to be about domination and control of peoples bodies, actions, thoughts and feelings. Slightly different approach from “Hey, buy this”, it’s turned a bit into “Hey, we own you, do what we say”. Where they would like us to understand we are no longer the consumer, we are now the product, which therefore makes us, the consumed. So, what it is they are consuming of ours? Data, money, time, energy, thoughts, ideas, etc. We are being harvested, emotionally, financially and mentally, with a final purpose of our actual bodily parts then get re-used for someone else. So, to me it’s a bit more in depth and complex than just “they want your data”, or they are just trying to take everyone’s assets, because while they are, it’s a much bigger sinister picture unfolding around us.
This isn’t about haunted cities, despite the title. And a wonderful film, Spirited Away, would be one to watch if you like ghost cities in the paranormal context. But this is about real cities. Well, I say real cities, because that’s what they look like on the face of it. My starting point for this was finding about huge uninhabited cities that were built in China, and never used. Seeing vast towns and cities across places like Russia, Japan, and the Middle East. They looked like the future, all of those places.
And when you look around the world, there is a lot of abandoned ones. For various reasons apparently, financial collapses, disasters, a change in times and fortunes. Ancient and modern alike, apparently we are prone to the same predisposition for grandeur, opulence and wastefulness. But of these cities dotted around the world, I sometimes thought they looked like they might have been used as movie sets, and thought no more about it. Until certain propaganda videos started making their way over from China at the start of the pandemic. I grew up not knowing much about that place, understanding it was shut off from the rest of the world for hundreds of years from 1434, apparently opening back up in 1979. Although if you start to look at ‘history’ it can be confusing, as the silk road carried on until 1453, and there were a couple of ‘opium wars’ in between as well. So, although shut off, kind of still trading and doing business here and there when it suits, so just the population in general shut off then?
Back to the propaganda videos, the start of which was people just ‘dropping like flies’ in the streets. Used by the media over here to whip people into a terrified frenzy as best they could. To enforce the idea that there is something in the air that you can’t see, that could kill you. The air, something that you have to have, and is all around you. Very clever I thought, having given much though already to fear, its uses and why people would want to use it against someone or for an advantage. Taking something routine and everyday you can’t avoid and putting fear around it, as I talked about in my article Don’t fall asleep.
But the idea of cities with no people, sat around just waiting for a purpose didn’t go away. Then I thought about how easy it would be to have that city full when needed, of either actors, or unsuspecting people who think it’s a normal city like any other, because they know no other. Truman Show esque style. It is not out of the realm of possibility that they would have that type of thing at their disposal, public opinion and Consumerism seems to be extremely important to them, and having control over it them. And through the means of psychology (the depth approach), technology and marketing and propaganda, they have worked out exactly what they need to do, to get the desired results. And if it looks like they won’t get them with everyone, they will cheat, and make it ‘look like’ they did. Even now, we have well placed, strategic ‘leaked’ videos, showing what they want you to see. Every. Damn. Time. And even some of what have been deemed as false flag events, these get confused by some thinking they are faked events, whereas my understanding is that are not faked at all. They are orchestrated, and appear as a massacre by a lone individual or small group on a mission, or with such a deep cause within them it compels them to act. So, often the casualties would have to be real, the location real, the perpetrator real. But you can switch any of those for one to be conveniently placed, or faked, or manipulated to carry out such acts or react to them. They can fake entire lives on the screen, so if you haven’t met these people, you will never know for sure. And there used to be a time where it would be said, don’t believe what they say, believe what you see.
Well, that isn’t quite as it used to be anymore with technology, graphics, drones, CGI, robotics and animatronics, so much can be manipulated. The patents held for other intrusive technologies are also concerning, and ones they delight over. Of being able to ‘get inside your head’ and further down the lines, they want to put chips directly into your brain system, so they can literally be in your thoughts. Studying them, scanning them, deciding them ultimately. Sounds more than creepy doesn’t it, and it is. Like an obsessed entity that cannot deal with individualism, that wants to assimilate you into their central processing centre, so you can be a drone for them, feeding them your subconscious thoughts, while they feed you whatever they want to. And then it becomes a self-sustaining cycle, a co-dependency of sorts, but not a healthy one. Makes me think of The Borg in Star Trek, and of The Strangers in Dark City, covered a bit in my article The Hive. We are a visual creature, and although attached to an animal, we use a saying for humans as well, ‘Monkey see, monkey do’, and it’s not hard to see the route of it.
We learn well by observing others, usually. Picking up useful things throughout our life, watching to see how it’s done, then trying it ourselves. Which has served us well, but it’s quite possible that it is now being used against us for purposes of control. We are shown what is ‘happening to people’ if they disobey, or step out of line, just as they did here too during the propaganda drive. Showing you people being excessively fined, or in distress in the hospitals, being stopped from doing normal things and living. And in my mind that achieved two things at once, killing two birds with one stone as they saying goes. It instantly causes a divide, because some people would have taken the instant fear route, and wanted to avoid any scrutiny and indeed the threatened ‘punishment’, while others realised the stupidity of it and the dangerous slippery slope it would lead to, also knowing the ‘punishments’ were just the old carrot and stick methods. I’ll try and bribe you with carrot, then hit you with the stick kind of thing. Psychological warfare with an overtone of brutality, which is exactly what they have created with the strategic timing of video ‘leaks’, articles, daily press conferences, death stats and all sorts of other continuous tactics they used. Nudge, Nudge and The three d’s of conversion under coercion covered those too. They have thrown everything at this, they really have. Which is why I do think it’s not too outrageous to believe that there could be towns and cities, built for purpose and used as such, just not the purpose we might have thought they were for…
For some, it may well be an unrealised youth, you hear the phrase ‘living through their kids’, to imply that someone missed the boat, and gets a second chance through their kids. A worrying concept. It could also be the case though, that they did realise their youth, and it was just fine, but the opportunity to ‘do it over’ sort of presents itself with your offspring, or just with time. We hear of people having a mid-life crisis and wanting to do impetuous things associated with youthfulness, but unfortunately many aren’t able to fund those ideas at the age we might want to do them. So, I can see why when you get to an age when you can, or maybe of a certain mindset, it can seem like a mid-life crisis, but maybe it’s just a normal life thing to happen. For some. But trying to have a life through others, is a dangerous game to play. There are various scenarios where it can manifest, not just with parents and children of course, partners, friends, colleagues, and even in the weirdest set-ups, strangers. Whether it is because they cannot form a proper life on their own, or they are dependent on others energy and attention I’m not sure, each case would be different.
In the worst-case scenarios those, we have Munchausen-by-proxy, and a well-known case of it here in the UK, where a nurse killed children, to get off on the drama and attention that then surrounded that child needing help. And there have been many cases, but on an individual level, where it’s just one mother and child, and a ‘mystery illness’, lots of attention through the other person. And perhaps there are men who do it too, but no stories spring to mind, so far I have only read about it being women, and that being said, only the ones that got caught.
With other relationships, it can be just as unhealthy, any kind of dependency on others like that. For attention, energy, validation, continuous emotional support and other things that, in the right dose, would be fine, and normal. But when it becomes a want for those things, or a craving that extends beyond normal human interaction, that’s when it gets weird. And not always as noticeable as you might think, because the person on the receiving end needs to able to firstly, spot what is going on, and secondly, have the strength of character to deal with it. Nipping it in the bud they call it, halting something dead in its tracks before it can go any further and mutate into a weirder version of itself. Knowing when someone is being entirely self-serving may seem like an obvious spot, but sadly, it’s not always so. And worse than that, are some who in some strange way, convince themselves that they are trying to help the person – on both sides. Desperately so in some cases, because it would appear they develop a severe attachment and dependency disorder, and then require the subject of their fixation, ideally, to return that dependency. For both sides, it gives them a sense of control, albeit a temporary and superficial one, and possibly even alleys some of the more outlandish behaviour that would reveals the instability in all it’s crazy glory. And perhaps, that is why some people on the receiving end, indulge that behaviour, or go along with it as best they can, for those seemingly calmer, more stable moments and to avoid ‘the drama’ or ‘the tantrum’. And sometimes it needs to be called out, and exposed for what it is, because in the face of scrutiny, often does not hold up as valid, and they know that, so will try to avoid having anyone else be able to speak against it or question it.
Being able to understand where people are coming from is incredibly important, to be able to grasp their motive and intention towards you, and understanding yours towards them equally so. It can help greatly, but between people hiding their true intentions, and people not always being confident enough to ask question, or fully interpret the answers, we are often left with confusing interactions and experiences. That isn’t anything new though, and why people talk about body language as a source of information to know what’s really going on with someone. Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast manual for it through, each person will have a slightly different version of a ‘tell’ or ‘giveaway behaviours’, which to people who have the gift, can see it straight away. Others need coaching, and some will never see it, despite trying. And just as there are varying degrees of being able to work people out for good or to help them, there are those who use it for nefarious purposes and to hold people back. To detect the fears and vulnerabilities in people, the easily led and the ones they can take advantage of, and use those fears against them. Mostly for their own gain, but sometimes just for the meanness of it, because they can. The spiteful type, you know the ones, who carry around so much bitterness and hatred, it seems to ooze out of them and spill over into normal life. There is so much to do, and think about, that there really doesn’t seem time to be hateful towards others. If they have done wrong, swift justice, no more thought. If they are awful, cut them out of your life, no more thought. Do you see a pattern there? Not only do some people waste a big portion of their lives doing something they hate, or being around people they don’t like, that when they do stop being around that, they forget to enjoy things, and keep that hateful attitude. So, they waste more time talking and thinking about something that has passed, and is gone, and is only being kept alive by their want to keep it so. Maybe it becomes so familiar, they don’t know how to leave it behind. Give time and thought to that which deserves it, and take action on that which needs it, and when it comes to interactions with others, work out whether it is you who is giving your time, or if it is someone or something taking it…
Just a random article about cubes. The films I have listed below for reference, all have a cube as a heavy feature in the storyline. They make me think of other well-ordered geometrical things, like grids and systems, which run off of a power source. I will explain after each one.
Hellraiser (1987) – a puzzle of sorts, a box to be opened and tempt you into hell. But it is a cube with a dark secret, which feeds on human desire, curiosity and deviance, which activate it. So, that is its power source.
Star Trek First Contact (1996), The Borg – their ship is a cube, they search out and assimilate knowledge and other species. And this one runs on a very clear system, with the power source being the Borg themselves integrated with the technology.
The Cube (1997) – a strange film without a backstory given or answer of how or why. But a maze in a cube for unsuspecting occupants, more like a prison with boobytraps and mechanisms, yet still a system and design that serves a purpose.
Transformers – the allspark which was a great power source. Shaped like a cube, and part of the machine world, but still seems relevant here.
Tesseract – in the marvel films, a recurring item throughout the films, is again a cube, this one being an unlimited power source.
We always seem to be looking for the ultimate energy source, and therefore power. I guess it’s no coincidence that the word power is used for batteries, as well as for ruling. Maybe their power comes from us, literally. And when they showed us a field of human battery pods in The Matrix, maybe they weren’t far from the truth. But a cube is an easy shape to imagine, a box. And it’s easy to get stuck in one, mentally perhaps, ‘think outside the box’ they say. Maybe that’s also more than just a metaphor, but to think it’s only in mind keeps you trapped thus so, and is a self-perpetuating loop. Perhaps.
But we are definitely being viewed and treated more as a commodity rather than a consumer, so it makes me wonder if we are the ones now being consumed. Just as we have done with resources, for the system trying to unfold, it switches. We become the resource. And like with all the films mentioned above, there is someone or something behind those cubes, and a need…
