Why Do You Want To Be Monitored?
It’s interesting and bizarre in equal measure, watching people seemingly happy and wanting to be monitored. If you have been reading my articles, then you will know there have been a few on the subject, Ministry of Monitoring covers them all, but it struck me as odd today that some, if not many, actually want it and are inviting it. So, are they in their right mind? Have they been hypnotised to say whatever they are told? Or do they genuinely believe it is a good thing? The main comment I will use to highlight this has been made recently on one of Joe Rogan’s podcasts, I must confess I haven’t actually ever listened to him or his interviews, and this is based on the clip provided on social media. Talking to the Rolling Stones founder, who happened to say he thought the government should be in charge of regulating the internet. Cue some very obvious objections from Joe, pointing out that they are the ones who regulate everything, for their benefit. That’s the brief of that, I guess if you want to see the whole thing, you can.
And although the interviewee couldn’t really explain why they thought it was a good idea after saying so, and sort of back tracked a bit, I’m not so sure it actually worked, pointing out how wrong it is to let one governing body have such access and control over individuals and groups of people. Even though I have given it much thought already, still may have missed a connection, I guess slightly touched upon in Holding us back. The fact that some people want to be ‘parented’, which appears to be tied into the digital omnipotence that marches towards us. And I wondered, is it easy for perhaps religious people to adapt to this new ‘god’ that will be the seer of all, knower of all and decision maker in your life? I grew up thinking it was super mean to ‘put the fear of god’ into people, to give children a horrific image to have in mind of burning in hell if you don’t do something, or do do something. But I realised what a handy tool it was, for control and power, as I’m sure many have, including the ones who wield it over people. The effect that can have though, is an easily controlled person through fear and imagery, you may know some like it, and it isn’t just religious people it seems. Over the years, people have got used the government being there as a ‘helping hand’ or just to guide you through society, taking money from you to you know, build back better.
Many people seem to struggle with managing themselves, or life in general, and I can’t help feeling that the ones who apparently govern us, have created much of that, and capitalise on it. Making everyday life so confusing, stressful and difficult to navigate for many, that it appears we need to have someone or something to ‘keep us all in line’, convincing us that it would be pure chaos without them. But what seems to be happening now is the edges are fraying and the veil is wearing thin, they don’t seem to be able to maintain their hollow shell of a society running on pure consumerism. Capitalism is dead they declared, Consumerism is king, some decades ago now, and they want you to be hooked on whatever it is they are selling. And they are pushing what they sell, every day in more elaborate ways, through various mediums, but this time there is a new twist. You won’t be the consumer anymore, you will be the product and you will be consumed, and already are to a point. They are taking your time, thoughts, emotions and what you are, turning us into what they want, to service their needs and desires, ours become irrelevant. But there is another thing they might be cashing in on, people either not wanting to rock the boat, or to be people pleasers, and if you find yourself to be a combination of the two then may in for a rather dull future.
And what of that future, where you will have all your choices and decisions made for you, or by way of very limited options, we are halfway there already with society arranged the way it is. Class divides, financial divides, more and more regulations. Within that they now want to scan your face everywhere you go, take away money and replace them with ‘credits’ instead, which will be programmed to be spent on what they chose, and to expire if you don’t spend it by the time they say. When it is said you will own nothing, and be happy, people think mainly in material terms, and maybe that is what they are saying. But it could be that they also mean they will take a sense of ownership away of you, not just the material things, but your very desire to want it. And if you own nothing, then what does it matter if someone takes it from you? Your possessions, your thoughts and time, family, your body? Where does the sense of ownership stop being material and start being about self-responsibility. Where we have sayings for it – ‘owning up to the truth’ or ‘owning your attitude’ which is about you personally, and it may just be that sense of ownership they are after.
But to get there they need to be watching, interfering and manipulating the outcome, convincing and encouraging people to be herded into their pens. Because otherwise, without constant reinforcement of the new regime, people would start to wonder, and think about the world around them, and quite possibly realise that it is all a sham. Makes me think of the bit of the X-men film, the second one I think with Wolverine finding out stuff, and the other adamantium mutant, where to maintain her state of compliance and programming, a droplet of some synthetic drug is put on the back of her neck (as with Magneto in the film too). Well, maybe that is just the heavy portrayal of drugging people into compliance, which some won’t recognise as they aren’t having a toxic substance burned into their skin. Yet, if you sugar coat said substance, and call it something fancy and get a doctor to prescribe it, people will take it willingly if you tell them they should. It’s disturbing how they have convinced so many people that they are a problem, or they are dysfunctional for not being able to cope with or fit into this odd set up we call society and reality. Not really allowing the questioning of the set-up, just blaming people for not fitting in or keeping up. Prevention rather than cure used to be the saying, well, not anymore. Almost as if they have their fingers in their ears and are shouting ‘we can’t look at why that happened, we are too busy dealing with it happening’, having caused said happening in the first place, and bloody well knowing it.
How and why they want to monitor you needs to be paramount in this, I have often heard people say that they have such a boring life, they don’t really care if someone wants to look at all their purchases. And others who seem to like the idea of having a ‘companion’ to encourage that diet plan, or motivate you to do that daily exercise you have been meaning to do, and that is how these things start. They cash in on your weakness and vulnerabilities, loneliness, lack of direction and confusion. And even the opposite can be harnessed, by appealing to people who think of themselves as strong, driven and savvy. All these conveniences, apps, incentives, rewards they put forward are all part of a bigger picture I feel and part of the monitoring scheme in general, but then again, maybe it’s just another conspiracy…

A further look at the way our digital prison is trying to encircle us. Covered already in previous articles, but as it continues, so does the observation of it.
This is an updated look, seen as things are still moving along at quite a pace. New staffless shops being revealed, robots in place of people in factories, robotic dogs shown marching in formation, some with weapons loaded on them. You know, all totally normal for a harmonious ordinary functioning society. But today I have read through a few comments of the reality for some starting to hit home, women in particular after a certain move by a certain social media company a few weeks ago in the states. Showing people what the consequences are of sharing very personal information online, and giving rise to finally understanding that ‘private messages’ are only so to a point. Imagine someone being able to eavesdrop on every conversation you have ever had, and were ever going to have, omnipotence of a godly nature hanging over you. Many are close to it, as they share most of their lives online, publicly and privately, but when it’s all online, maybe there is no difference in the two.
With microphones in telephones and TV’s, they don’t even need to bug people’s homes anymore. We invited the devil in ourselves, paid for it, gave our time to it, and still do. The saying ‘you have nothing to fear, if you have nothing to hide’ is apt here, or would have been if the game was fair. Alas, it isn’t. Or they would have cracked down and stopped all the nefarious online activities that flourished as they were given free reign. Now being used as a weapon against normality to monitor everyone, while still not curbing anything.
The latest move bringing charges in a home abortion case, using messages between a mother and daughter to prove something. Women have rightly pricked up their ears on this and have started to think it through. Whether the girl was right or wrong isn’t the issue, it’s about privacy. Why people had apps to monitor their cycle is beyond me, I didn’t even like having a calorie app for a day for the idea that it was then recorded somewhere. By who? For what? No need. Population, pregnancy and the future of humanity have featured in many a storyline and I wonder sometimes if it’s a head up, speculated upon in They Tell Us.
But it really does seem as though they want to know what you think, what you eat, what you feel, where you go, when you travel, where you travel, who you talk to, what you say. They have access to most of that with lots of people, freely given to them on a daily basis, and that wouldn’t be an issue ordinarily. Like people said, ‘I’m very boring, why would they want to monitor me?’. And that is right, and monitoring all by itself wasn’t important, yet the overall point of what it leads to was for me. Why do they want all that info? In my mind, it would lead to being able to control those things. And here we are. Because while it wasn’t so much an issue before, now it is. Because they want to decide things about you and for you (and those around you), based on that monitoring.
There is also a big push and lots of restructuring going on around medicine. They want that all online too. Monitored appointments, checked and reviewed, doctors and patients alike will feel the scrutiny. This is where the idea that they are implanting digital tracers in people would come into play. They could monitor your heartbeat, circulation, location, intake of calories etc all from an internal sensor. They keep saying they want to integrate people with their phones, and they are already a beacon on us. Once fully integrated, we will be the data. They make no secret of that being a goal. To augment humans and machine to create something weird and seemingly not necessary. But as history and the present shows us, just because we can, does not mean we should…

Do You Want To Be Monitored?
This is a follow up piece to Monitoring – because I feel I need to play it out again for some, and maybe in a bit more detail.
Firstly, we know they are already monitoring us. Everything we say and do online and via the telephone is logged somewhere, programs run through data, algorithms do their thing and it gets stored in the rather large data banks they have around the world. But what is the purpose of it – it doesn’t really seem like a big thing if someone knows what you eat, where you shop, who you talk to, what you say, how you feel – does it?
All of those personal things that make up your daily and weekly routine, used to be private. If someone was tracking all those things about you, we used to call them stalkers. But because it is a corporation doing it, people seem fine with it. But what do they want to do with your data? I have heard people say “I’m not that interesting, I don’t care if they monitor me” – which I find a bit short-sighted but on the face of it, correct. They aren’t interested in you personally, at all. You are just a number, a statistic, a means to an end. They are interested in there not being individuals, one size fits all seems to what they are shooting for in the bigger picture. A formal, standard existence if you will, where there is the illusion of choice on a basic level, but everything is controlled and decided for you, like having a parent who doesn’t want you to socialise normally or have any freedom, and sure as hell don’t want you being happy. That is the type of ‘government’ we appear to have.
With the big drive to make everything digital, going cashless is a very big part of this new plan. People must realise this. The social credit system is already being used as i have said previously, we have credit ratings for loans and mortgages, bank accounts, credit cards – already excluding many people from those because of various issues that society decided deemed you ‘not good enough’. And for decades many people have continued to jump through those hoops, hoping they get approved, and not really noticing that others aren’t. A divide of opportunity has already been with us for quite some time, and people felt ‘lucky’ if they managed to work through all these systems and procedures, that they had made it. All part of the illusion I’m afraid, but it did well to separate folk. You know the ones, who look down on other family members or friends because they didn’t make the grade, or pass the exams, or get approved. Whether consciously or not, we all are brought up to believe this ‘standard of society’, to become acceptable, and ultimately gain approval and therefore be ‘allowed’ to take part in all areas of society.
That’s how it has been for decades already, with many being cast aside and labelled, left out of the main circus and kept more as a sideshow to it, and as a reason to implement ‘change’. My thoughts of where it leads are as follows once it’s all digital –
They want to stop people being able to help each other, so they will make sure you can’t buy anyone food on your account, they will make sure you can’t lend anyone money outside of your ‘unit’.
Socialising will be restricted, and even knocked back to only in designated areas where it can be fully monitored – or online, for the same. Unfortunately, many are doing that without even being asked to, only conducting their social activities online. Chose while you still can on that one.
They will monitor what you eat and decide if that is healthy enough by their standard, they will monitor what you watch and take away programs deemed not suitable. Your conversations will be monitored so they can decide whether you need re-educating to have the ‘right thoughts’. Your travel and movements will be restricted to zones you are allowed in, when they say you are allowed to. You won’t be allowed to have rights over your children, and in their vision of the future, you won’t even give birth to them, they will be grown in pods in your living room. Sounds great doesn’t it. And all of this is from their articles, plans for the world and high-profile meetings over the last few years, this is not me speculating.
If the idea is to eliminate communities as we once knew them, then destabilising towns and villages and herding people into cities works quite well, they have been doing it for a rather long time already, but in the last couple of decades it has spiralled a bit. Jobs moving out of area, moving and travelling for work was encouraged, families separated and moved apart, various social issues causing more pressures on people, families, stability.
They are not interested in joy or happiness; they are interested in productivity and commodities. And our need to have joy and happiness in our lives seems to be a thorn in their sides. So much has been imposed which is directly for holding people down and making everything just a bit shitter than before, oh but if we call if progress, then everybody just goes along with it. Well, you know what? I am sick of their version of progress, driving us all slowly into the ground and round the bend. At the whim and mercy of cold, heartless, calculated deceivers who have an ulterior motive and do not want the best for us. I find it amusing that some appear to be afraid of something because they are told to be, but are not seeing the ugly truth of what it is they should be afraid of. And currently, it really does appear that it is the people in charge who are our greatest threat.
Trying to ‘unite the world’ under the guise of a pandemic so far hasn’t worked, so they will either try again using the same method but tweaked, or go for a whole new plan. It’s anyone’s guess what that might be. But if ever there was a time to speak, to pick a side and stand firmly for what you believe to be right, it is now. Because soon it may be that there won’t be anything to stand for, as they will have you living on your knees…

Monitoring
It really has snowballed hasn’t it? Within a very short time we have gone from going about our business and daily lives, to having most aspects of it blindsided.
Years ago, only mere decades, people used cash so most of the transactions weren’t noted. Debit cards came in which started to pull it all together. We didn’t have smart tv’s or meters, no tracking devices on cars, no CCTV, no mobile phones. On the face of it, introducing all those things appeared to make life easier. For you to monitor yourself and use those things to save time and hassle.
But the purpose has switched. All of that now traps us, monitors us, and will ultimately it seems, be used against us. Everything moving online, including medical appointments is the worst thing we could have done. And I know it seems silly to think any one person alone would be interesting in their usage of things or what they spend or eat. But with that they know how to get to you, and collectively they can manipulate things. Knowledge is power as they say.
They also do not appear to be making a secret of a social credit score scheme rolling out, similar to another country recently mentioned in the media a lot. But let’s be honest, we have a class system in this country going back centuries which used to be your social credit score, then we introduced credit cards and a credit rating. Sounds like a credit system to me. And we blithely accepted that one without question. Keen to ‘earn points’ by being in debt, and jumping through financial hoops to be good enough to lend money to so you can take part in society.
What seems to be coming is a levelled-up version of that. But the way it is being intermingled with the current agenda, I have suspicions of how intrusive it will end up being. My piece on Cash and the incoming cashless society touched upon this, but I will go further and piece together what I see.
The roll out of fitbit and apple watches to monitor your heartbeat and vitals. Exercise bikes in the home fitted up to a central system that knows you are exercising. Smart fridges that can be controlled by something somewhere. Points and incentives already for shopping where they encourage you to. Sounds like a credit system and monitoring to me, but we invited it, signed up to it and didn’t notice when they changed the rules. (I don’t have any of the above, because of where I see it going, when I say we, I talk of the collective). They are already talking of ‘incentives’ to make you lose weight and live healthier by their standards. So let’s examine what that means. In my mind, to monitor someone on that, you have to have them log in every morning, noon and night, fill in what they eat, they drink and what they do in a day. Sounds a bit intrusive doesn’t it? Well, how else would they know? They have proved they don’t trust the public one bit to make their own decisions or run their own lives.
So, picture it. You wake up, sign into your app, do your exercise, eat what they say, you get your points for the day or approval rating for your transaction. Then the next day the same, but after a week or so they decide they need to know more information. They suspect you are eating things while you are out and not reporting them, so they install a urine monitor. Every morning, noon and night, you now have to give them a sample, to prove that you are complying. They lock your fridge once you have gone over your allotted calorie intake for the day. They restrict your card so you can’t buy food while out. They insist it is to keep you healthy, but you end up hungry, stressed, sneaking around and unhappy. But they know better than you right?
You might think that is a far-fetched scenario, and for the sake of where we are, I genuinely hope you don’t. Because is there really any difference in recent talks of making people film themselves taking harmful, inaccurate and costly tests at home, to prove they are complying? It’s a slippery slope and one we are already on and picking up speed at an alarming pace. When they start interfering in where you can go, who you can see and what you can say should have been the first warning. It will be followed by what you can wear, what you can eat, how much you can weight. Because you know, save the NHS, or whatever crisis they invent to serve their purpose. Just imagine the worst, most vindictive, controlling, hateful and unreasonable parent in the world, calling all the shots in your life, for the rest of your life. Making the most outrageous demands, stopping you doing things you enjoy just because they like depriving you of things. Now, translate that to who oversees us currently. No-one should have more right over your body than you. Full stop. You can try and use the selfish argument, I hear it a lot, but is it not the height of selfishness to force and coerce someone to do something because you want them to. Demanding and selfish in fact. “I want you to do something to keep me safe” – I and me used there. Says more about the person demanding and the person not bending to it. Keeping someone else happy is not more important than my own safety, health and wellbeing.
I would just ask that everyone take a good long hard look around them. Really see these systems for what they are, understand what they intend to do with them, and how that will change things going forward. I do not wish for things to always remain the same or go back to the way they were, I’m not afraid of progress when it is required and logical and think we should be an adaptive species. But we are being steered by very wilful, controlling people who have wanted to and have been enacting their ideas and agendas for quite some time. If you can work your way through all the smokescreens, lies and diversions, it is there in plain sight. And it isn’t pretty…
Another possibility of where this monitoring may lead and what they may be viewing us as, my later article – Perhaps
