How Much Will You Entertain?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

We entertain the fact we are being entertained. But it is no longer a relaxing jaunt, it’s become a full-on roller coaster of drama, horror and shock. Demonic, inhumane and relentless.

So how much is too much? Some of my other articles have touched on their methods and understanding of saturating our senses. Overloading us and trying to dismantle what is, and replace it with whatever that have deemed ‘better’. And using screens and technology has only made the reach bigger, but it seems that it almost can’t keep up with itself now. As if the script isn’t authorised entirely, not all the actors are holding the attention anymore, or aren’t good enough to carry on convincing people as they once did.

We are capable of filtering the mindless and endless stream of doom, if we choose. But many are so used to something else thinking for them, maybe they have forgotten how to? Or are lazy and don’t want to. And deciding what you take in takes effort and means being aware of what you are exposing yourself to. Not everyone appears to want or like that level of active participation in your own life and decisions. Instead preferring the idea that someone else has a manual for your feeling and experiences, and you should go to them for help, guidance and assistance in all life related matters. Just so you know, they don’t have that manual, because there isn’t one. But it makes for a ‘safe feeling’ to think there is one. Because it can honestly be quite scary for a moment, when you realise everyone else is making it up, or bumbling through as best they can.

So, all these tricks and traps of society, and having to navigate and factor in procedures, systems and other people fantasies, feelings and wants for the future gets a bit much. Seemingly just here to fulfil rich people’s ideas and ideals, pawns and cannon fodder for a rather elaborate cyclical game. Rinse and repeat, depress and dictate. It’s a strange bind we are in now though, where you want to ignore them and their grandiose plans, but as you are being factored into those plans, notice must be taken. But is it your attention that is required first, followed by thoughts, then feelings ending up nicely with a reaction. Which is what they want. Looking for somewhere to direct the frustration, or fear, or anger, they know it won’t get to go where it is needed. So it stays, unresolved and misdirected in the daily routine of just trying to live and get by. And perhaps they have come to rely on our instinctual responses, while simultaneously trying to quash and remould them, while we also upgrade or revisit them as needed. Working on old, outdated models of our behaviour too, trying to keep up with analysing what they are trying to influence, but it does feel as though it has taken a different turn, and one perhaps that was not foreseen or predicted. We shall see…

A Turning Point

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

It seems that much has been implemented, changed, updated, and revised over the years. Various Acts and Laws, regulations, and rules to guide, coerce, and force society to adapt. This piece converges at a point just after the turn of the 20th century, 1902.

And how this piece came to be was from reading about ADHD and when it was identified. Turns out it was observed by Sir George Frederic Still, in 1902. He described it as “an abnormal defect of moral control in children.” Sounds quite vague in my mind, but it’s a start.

Another interesting thing happened in that year, which I think may be important.

“The Biologics Control Act was formed. It included the regulation of vaccine and antitoxin producers and required both licensing and inspections of manufacturers. The standards imposed by the 1902 Act resulted in bankruptcy for one-third of the company’s manufacturing antitoxins and vaccines while benefiting the manufacturers already in compliance. Ten firms held licenses with the Laboratory of Hygiene following the 1902 Act.”

Perhaps an early power move, taking out lots of competition with convenient regulations, and making sure the rest do as they are told. Or face bankruptcy. Money again being the greaser of the wheels with incentives and punishments alongside it to guarantee the result they require.

Another thing that happened in that year, was the 1902 Cremation Act. Paving the way for many a crematorium to be built and utilised, and it may well be that it was simply a tool to be able to ‘manage the dead’ and all that. But it could also be a good way to start disposing of what could later be considered as evidence. Roll out a substance, watch the devastating effects and study them for more efficient ways to cripple and maim people, and then be there to offer the ‘services’ needed to deal with the fallout. Like all the institutions it seems, create the problem, then appear to be the saviour with a solution. Clearly the obvious one would be not to cause it in the first place, but industry and consumerism have no place for avoidance. Their whole existence is to consume and control people, time, resources and all areas of business and life. Inserting themselves into your daily routine and life, and now trying to make that intrusion even more intimate. Schooling, relationships, work, health and every other function that gets us through life, they wanted to be a part of, and now want control of. They also introduced an Education Act in that same year and abolished school boards, and replaced them with local authorities. Seems a lot went on in the UK that year, only a year on from Queen Victoria passing, and moving from the Victorian era into our brief Edwardian one.

It seems they are very skilled at causing the problem, creating a label and then design the standard you want everyone to fall short on, so you can then ‘fix them’. Thereby giving rise to a very easy situation of being able to decide whatever you want to be wrong with people. Or take something that people naturally are, and decide that is wrong, or not ‘normal’, keeping in mind sometimes the people deciding what is normal, aren’t themselves. So, I believe we have to have a shared, agreed upon version of normal, which unfortunately has also been commandeered. For a clear purpose, and one which may be explained slightly in my article Consumerism, showing how they spend billions of dollars over decades to create a certain mindset in people and societies. And before that, centuries of various laws and regulations herding people into places and industries, forcing the people to comply with what the ‘Captains of Industry’ decided. Covered a bit in A Working Strategy, but shows how where we are now, really has been a long time coming…

Seven Again

~ MKW Publishing ~ 3 Comments

It appears to be a running theme throughout various ancient writings, scripts, ideas and throughout the ages is used again and again. And it may be that it isn’t actually relevant in the bigger scheme of things, and it has merely become familiar so we replicate it, as we sometimes do. But could there be more to it?

Seven Deadly Sins – covered in my article Seven already.

Seven Virtues – the not so talked about opposite to the sins, as it seems they take a centre stage for apparently representing what humans are really like. But there are characteristics that are seen as good, wholesome and well, virtuous.

Seven Chambered Cave – in Mayan folklore they have a place called Chicomoztoc – The Place of Seven Caves which is where they say is the location that birthed humanity.

Seven ancient wonders – not all still with us, or entirely intact if they are. But still impressive, especially if they really all were as they say (Colossus of Rhodes, Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and Lighthouse of Alexandria).

Seven Seas – a funny one really, as we have one ocean technically, five named oceans, and sometimes seven seas. So, depends on your reasoning and which geographical definition you want to go by. But I remember it from Sinbad the Sailor stories, and tales of the seven seas.

Seven Continents – for each of the landmasses we have, again, sometimes it’s four, or five, and in times past people have used the term continent for much smaller lands, but today we know it as seven.

Seven handfuls of soil – in the Muslim faith it is said that Allah sent angels to collect handfuls of soil all of different colours, from which man was created. It is also believed that there are seven skies or heavens, so it features more than once there.

Seven Noahide Laws – and the Jewish faith too with the Noahide Laws, although it is said there may have only been 6 originally, but today we find ourselves with seven.

Seven Anunnaki – within the ancient histories of the Sumerians and around the Mesopotamia region the religions had deities called the Anunnaki, seven in fact, who reside within the Underworld and serve as judges of humanity.

I’m sure there are others, and many possible reasons for it, or possibly no real reason at all anymore. Time and change moving on our thought processes and starting points for such reasoning. Pieced together from fragments of ideas or occasionally ‘evidence’, sometimes with very little or no context. So, we do the best we can with what we’ve got, but you can’t deny, it does seem like we are missing an awful lot…

Nineteen Eighty-Four Ever

~ MKW Publishing ~ 5 Comments

That dysfunctional societal model that is being pushed, and day by day they scramble for the contracts, laws and regulations to make it so. The Ministry of Monitoring getting ready to be legally involved in your most intimate online communications and daily routines. Like they weren’t already, but now it’s out there for everyone to see and be aware of. That’s what they meant by transparency, not so you get to know about or stop wrongdoings and know what all levels of society are doing. And by exposing the worst of it, helps to encourage people to call for their own censorship and monitoring. Perhaps thinking that for the sake of stopping the bad, we all have to be monitored and give up freedoms.

It meant they would be transparent about taking away your rights, and that you no longer have a say in anything corporate or democratic. Knowingly allowing them to take them away because they told you it was for ‘the greater good’. And to be honest, it kind of looks now that it was all an illusion of democracy and freedom that was in place. Where they led us all down a merry path, and hardly anyone noticed the twists and turns blindsiding and distracting us until we find ourselves here. A dead end of war, greed and ideological wants.

An almost startling breakdown of what once was has occurred in what appears to be a very short time span, and those who used to appear to serve the public, very clearly no longer do. I find it strange that while showing they are no longer competent, they continue to wield power. When you all know someone has no authority or power in real life, but everyone pretends and perpetuates the delusion. I can see very much why people likened it all in the beginning to The Emperor’s New Clothes.

And this is why perhaps stories, Fairy Tales and other sayings and metaphors stay with us through generations and centuries. To remind those who face strange, perilous, dark and unsavoury times or people, that others have been there too. In a situation of their time of course, but the general threads of observations and realisations sometimes are not time specific. Being relatable even after hundreds of years, because the general greed of tyranny and the power hungry enslavers, is also timeless and runs seamlessly through the ages. Until now. It seems as though the seams are splitting as they try and pull it together, and the whole ugly bag is looking like its going to collapse and disintegrate. And of course, I have already wondered how much of the ‘entertainment and propaganda’ over the decades is there to help program you towards their goal in Prepped for Disaster, or Clever Programming? But that is a double edged speculation of course, because while it may be they create the mental landscape required for a certain level of acceptance. It can be used to create a hesitancy and fear against something which ultimately may be good, steering you away from the ideas of advancement, because you think it means enslavement.

But whatever the methods and techniques used to achieve the sleeping masses for decades, you can’t deny it seemed to work. Slowly infiltrating each aspect of people’s lives, being part of your life ‘from cradle to grave’ as they put it. Doesn’t sound so friendly, helpful and benign anymore does it now? Not once you know how much money you can generate for ‘the system’ throughout that journey, covered in What Are We Worth? Being able to educate, feed and heal yourself means they are not involved, at all, hence why we seem to now have a staggering amount of rules and laws to limit people’s ability to be outside of that system. All the institutions are there to take away responsibility from you, and to then be responsible for you in whichever way they see fit. And you can see if you look around, how many people are still looking to someone or something for guidance, as they have been trained to – even still not quite being able to fully extract themselves from thinking they are there to help. Expectations need to be updated, and quickly, because what was no longer is and a new way is coming. It’s just looking a bit precarious of what that might actually be.
