Speaking the Same Language

It seems there is now finally some public debate on whether it’s a positive thing to have thousands of people arriving and staying who do not speak the native language. As well as many other traits and values that are an issue, and it has opened a can of worms. But one which was starting to burst at the seams and rot, so needed to be opened and dealt with.

One of the main issues being highlighted, is the cost for interpreters within social services and businesses, which is being paid for by the taxpayers. Again. Now, we have had people here for decades who can’t speak English, older generations of foreign-born people who use their younger family members to talk and write for them. Which I kind of understood, and thought at least they are making their way and utilising a resource they have at hand rather than being a direct drain or paid for. Not anymore, as it appears the taxpayer is the resource at hand now, for everyone and everything, except native people who pay into it of course.

Language is an interesting thing on this island, and we already have a different language just over the way in Wales. Where the signs are in Welsh but also written in English for our benefit and the purpose of getting by. People who move to Wales do not have to learn the language, because English is the one that is agreed upon. Making it easier for people to communicate and understand each other. Spoken word isn’t always needed to convey a message, but it definitely helps in the long term if you want to co-exist and thrive.

In a job, it would be essential to be able to communicate effectively and read instructions. The odd story emerging about deaths due to incorrect medications because the nurse couldn’t read the labels. A basic error with a deadly consequence. But does highlight why it really is important. And as mentioned in Words and Meaning, it helps to separate people and communities if they can’t communicate effectively. Or can’t understand things, or themselves. And even if you do speak the same language, you still might not be on the same page, and things can still be wildly misunderstood. In the US they have announced you will have to be competent in English for driving trucks, which again is an important one, because if you can’t read the signs or the safety instructions, can lead to an awful outcome. Which can still happen even if you can, but it minimises the risks from a certain angle.

Part of the argument on the internet seems to be in favour of it being ok that people in work industries and business settings not speaking English, and they cite the fact that because some English moved to Spain and don’t learn Spanish, it should be fine here. And in principle, yes, that would be fine. If it was under the same conditions. Because as we well know, Spain doesn’t give brits handouts, accommodation, benefits, interpreters, food, or any extras for free. In fact, you have to contribute, pay your own way and make the effort or you are ignored. Which is actually the easy part if you are that type of person anyway who is able to get by. But you have to contend with being second after the locals, not being part of anything unless you speak the lingo and knowing you are technically a foreigner in their land, even if you do speak it.

I am actually one of ‘those brits’ who moved to Spain for a bit, didn’t speak the language, and struggled because of it, despite the Spanish being helpful and being able to pick up basic words and phrases while there. But I didn’t need to work there as I worked remotely for my business, and realised that also means you don’t have a reason to learn the language. Necessity is the mother of all invention, they say, and by making one aspect super easy, seems to create an apathetical mentality towards the other sides of it. I’ll do it later or tomorrow, but if you were hungry or homeless, you might be a bit more willing to do it now. And as we have observed over the years, the benefit mentality has steadily grown over the decades, once frowned upon, now being painted as a ‘right’. That people should have their money confiscated by way of tax, a penalty for working, and handed out by way of the controlling institutions who get to decide who qualifies by their standard at the time. While clearly taking their very large percentage first, and although we always knew there was corruption, it seems now it is more rife that can be dealt with. With so many hands in the Endless Pot of Resources, they can’t take it off us quick enough to keep it flowing and using it to maintain their lifestyle, mentality and untouchability. It seems it helps them for us to be at odds with each other all the time, not able to be on the same page, or agree or communicate effectively, or be on the same path as a collective, showing that Moving People Around is a big part of their strategy. And as many seem to be realising, it seems it has happened many times before…

Just Under Your Feet

Generally, we seem to be surface dwellers. But it would appear that there may have been other surfaces previous to this one, with tunnels and caves, catacombs, and abandoned cities leaving evidence that something came before. Some mentioned in One Thing Leads to Another, and In The Old Underground, where a more grisly and sinister history starts to be revealed.

But there are also rather magnificent relics and remnants of a time past. Of splendour and creativity, audacious buildings and temples, statues, and art. Some of which we have kept, uncovered, and incorporated into our ‘modern’ times. Two films have popped up in mind a few times around this subject –

Oblivion, where the cities were covered with mud and silt to a new level, creating a new surface and great canyons showing the old, now buried depths. With only the tops poking out for some of the taller buildings, looking only like a fraction of what they once did. And sometimes some of our structures look as though they are just the top of something much larger. Or the ones that have been excavated to full capacity, seem of a size that betrays the given tales of that time. What we see, doesn’t entirely match up with what we are told.

And when I see what I’m are told are old photographs of Tartarian cities, I can’t help but to imagine only the tops poking out and the rest buried, or deliberately flooded as we have done in the past to create vast dams. Losing many historical sites and artefacts in the process.

Return to Oz, when Dorothy goes back and discovers Oz in ruins and people having been turned to stone. In particular, the stairs shown when she first gets there reminded me of the Crystal Palace Park staircase. And how easily things can either be destroyed or tidied up so that no one would ever know what was there. Or the context in which it originally sat no longer visible around it, getting a new story and placing as time goes on. The things that didn’t make it, I presume their grandeur was too much, and the lies and tall tales were not enough to cover it. So, fires and ‘wars’ were used as a destructive cover to clear the way for a new mindset and landscape. And there is much speculation about the need for a great number of asylums that popped up across Europe and America, perhaps to remove those who remembered things, or just knew too much of The Old World.

So like Dorothy in that sequel, they are told it was a dream, a fabrication and a lie of their own making, so are led to the psychiatrist for ‘treatment’. Makes me think that’s really what ECT and lobotomies were really about, to find a way to disconnect the memory, the identity and a sense of self so they can disrupt the chain of generational lifetimes being handed down. To also help to bring about their isolating and traumatising system of ‘healthcare’ to be forced on people thereafter, breaking people, communities and networks down through systematic and traumatic events. To the collective and to people on an individual level, so that it might facilitate what seems to have been called ‘The Great Forgetting’. But maybe some things can’t be erased and lost completely, if the talk around cell memory and water memory and consciousness is really a thing, then it’s not as simple as just trying to rid someone of their memory. Because that’s not where the information is stored, only accessed. Perhaps Mufasa was right, we need to remember who we are…

Taking Offence

Alongside the other remoulding tactics of mentality in society like mentioned in Phobic or Instinct?, this one is another of those words being used for purpose. I’ll note a few that have stood out over the years with it being made quite public and a point for discussion at the time.

Breastfeeding – this was an odd one at the time, but not so much now when you see where we have arrived recently with attitudes towards women. But we have had some rather stuffy times in this country and not everyone thinks it’s normal to feed your child with your built-in equipment when necessary. Literally what it was designed for, but hey, we know better than nature, right? It was across the board people chose to show distaste for it being done in public, with strange shaming going on, speculated that some women were uncomfortable about their men being able to see other women’s breasts. Others were just ashamed of it generally so didn’t want others to do it, as it highlighted their own issues.

Eating food or drinking – this one follows on from breastfeeding to me, because while in those cases it is a child that is having their dinner interrupted, or delayed because someone has ‘feelings’, it also has been happening to adults. A few vids online about people fasting telling people they should not eat in front of them, there have also been countless videos of vegans or vegetarians taking it upon themselves to tell others what they should and shouldn’t eat. People who have given up drinking, taking to telling others they shouldn’t, or insisting they don’t when around them.

An absolute classic happened which I think qualifies here, a very publicised statement and speech by a leading Scottish politician at the time, being offended by Scotland and its inhabitants for being ‘too white’ in his words. Now, with a country whose population was at the time said to be around 95% white, it’s no wonder predominately white, like going to an ice-cream store and saying you are offended because they only sell ice-cream. Having lived and travelled abroad, I don’t think I have ever been ‘offended’ at the demographics of a place, home or away. However, there may be a touch of disappointed, perplexed, or perhaps even confused now and again, but I don’t think offended.

Cover your ankles in case someone is offended by skin, we used to laugh in this country about the Victorians being so uptight and rigid with their ‘dress code’ of acceptable society. Fully covered, don’t show any ankle or you might be seen as a harlot. Social Status playing its role nicely there to get people to adapt and comply.

Comedy – this one has usually been ring-fenced around this subject, where it was known that you are allowed to offend as a comedian, and as a spectator you should expect to be offended. That’s kind of what they do, while humorously making observational jibes and jokes about things that they know others get offended by. And in a way, I think that helped to bring out into the open some of the reasons why people felt like that, and often it would be shown to be misconception, lack of education, a difference of opinion and so on. Many reasons people do not see eye to eye, or agree on things on a personal level, but people have taken that a bit far now, and deem it literally punishable, to have a different opinion or ideal. With no physical exchange even occurring, some are claiming psychological harm from words and how they perceived.

But I guess to me, the word and thoughts towards where it is being used, highlights an intolerance for something, or a disliking and intense personal preference towards a subject that is more than just a passing fancy or interest. It seems to create an unyielding intolerance for others, their views, ideals and ways of living. And we are starting to see more people being verbal about what it is that offends them, which often seems to carry with it a rather unhinged, obsessive or angry tone with it. Showing that aside from any logical reasoning, feelings and emotions seem to be steering the thought train once they get a platform or audience.

And it seems to highlight a certain weakness in people, who are unable to be tolerant or accepting, a rather overlooked quality and skill these days. Many are quick to be reactive, whether that be offended, hurt, ashamed, embarrassed, or whatever feeling that follows to then allow the internal mayhem to ensue. Their feelings then get projected onto the outside world rather than learning to deal with them. It’s strange to see so many get so angry or upset or feel justified to display outrageous behaviour and insults because they are ‘offended’. Therefore, it is becoming quite the offensive creature in its newly found ironic state of being. But as they say, offence is taken, not given, so when it comes to whether you are offended by something, I guess it depends on which side of the ‘fence’ you sit…

A Need to be Cool

Why is there a sudden and almost urgent need to cool the planet? Sun dimming, sucking carbon out of the ocean, and other crazy ideas they come up with. What are they really afraid of if it gets a bit warmer? They have spun a story over the years, of rising sea levels, desertification, and catastrophic implications of it happening. Given how selective they are with the truth, I deem it quite possible that they were lying about that too. Trying to lay the foundations to mentally and financially cripple everyone later with climate alarmism and where we are now. Net Zero strategy commences. Which funnily enough, can be avoided apparently if you pay attention to the convenient price tag on it. That you pay for, and someone else gets rich from, without the climate getting better, or more stable.

I just did another article a few days ago, recapping the dimming idea in Weather It’s a Good Idea, but I can’t help thinking in some strange way, they are telling a part truth. Revealing that they do need to cool the planet, part of their overall plan having to be publicly revealed so they achieve what they want, to then steamroll it over society without approval. Otherwise perhaps, they lose control. If things are warm and bountiful and people are happy and have prospects, then it changes the overall mental landscape and psychological grip of control they currently have. Because that is what they are trying to change first, followed by the physical one.

People who are now paying attention are rightly thinking through the implications of it or what they are proposing, versus what they say is the problem. The effect it will have on people, plants, animals, agriculture, weather systems, seasons, stability, and so on. And most normal people without an invested interest, seem in agreement, it’s madness. Maybe they didn’t think that many people would actually think it through, perhaps they are so confident now in their extreme wants for nature and society, they just don’t care whether people are on board or not. Clearly the politicians are working for themselves and their overseers, but do not listen to, or care for what ‘The People’ have to say or think.

So, knowing they have already long sold us out, we must then look at those who are all for it, or appear to be. What is their invested interest in any of the technologies, patents, contracts and payments for this to be made public and pushed further? And if they have none, where then is their reasoning and logic? Are they relying on the information and data that has been strategically fed to the public over the years? Or have they weighed up the realities of a somewhat warmer climate and what that might mean? When you read newspaper headline of ‘Horror heatwave to hit 22 degrees’ you realise they want people to fear the warm and greener times. Even if it’s a ridiculous headline in reality, it’s put out there as serious. and that is what makes it of concern.

And other than the obvious one of controlling people through harsh temperatures and costly electricity, mentioned in Convenience, or Dependence? I think of what else might happen if it gets warmer, of what else is hidden by cold, ice and inhospitable terrain. Because if it does get warmer and ice starts melting, maybe there aren’t huge floods as we are told, and it is more about what might get revealed before they can hide it or take control of it. Think of if Antarctica and Greenland were to be ice free in the next ten years, without any flooding caused to the rest of the continents, I should imagine people would start to think quite differently about the world and it’s possibilities…
