Incompetence or strategy?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

The hotels and the growing issue of mass haphazard immigration. I have already covered this in Hotel California, or Hotel Strategy? And in On the ground. But as we keep seeing the numbers increase, and the financial resources being thrown at it, people can’t help but wonder what the actual fuck is going on. I speculated further in And the purpose is? covering the idea that it was to disrupt tourism and create a destabilising force within communities. And that does seem to be the case, so not sure it’s really speculation, more an observation at this point.

The reports from various European countries keep filtering through as well of violent gang crime and sexual assaults, towards men and women. Machete attacks, some murders and various other things highlighting the clash of mentalities, cultures, education and the often shocking and grisly outcome of this. But what some people question is they why of all of it. And rightly so, because even if the typical age range and attitude of the boaters wasn’t that of organised crime and with nefarious intentions, there would be still be the question of why exactly. After years of strict borders, passport control, immigration procedures and ‘protecting our borders’ as it was called back in the day with the apparent land army we had, it seems not a thing anymore. In fact, our own Navy assist them from France in a rather civilised manner. Funny really, makes me think about previous ‘wars’ we are told about when they invaded, or crossed a massive ocean to take a country. Did they? Or were they invited and shipped over with agreement to put them in place as paid mercenaries, to be activated when ready to make it look like it was a genuine skirmish, or that society just collapsed from within all by itself. The fall of Rome and all the other empires they mention, at the height of their opulence and greed, it all just falls in on itself, apparently.

Or, could it be, that they all reach the point of enough people being educated enough to really see the scale of the corruption, or that it is so large it simple cannot be hidden. And thereafter it starts to go horribly wrong, so it becomes a desperate race against time to take the riches, leave the people in the gutter, and rewrite history again to show that you didn’t lose, or ruin everything, but it was ‘the people’, it was the weather, it was them over there. Anything but admitting that it was an orchestrated and co-ordinated takedown of certain peoples, histories, countries, societies, families and ultimately a takeover of power.

And we are witnessing something at the moment, that appears to be a power move. Where the ‘elected’ officials (and not even elected anymore, just placed), start to completely ignore the people are apparently there to serve, and continue on their power mission. Where they abuse your trust, ignore your reasoning, take your money and then act surprised that you will call them out on it. Many people are questioning what their goal or plan actually is, who is it that authorised the release of unlimited funds for anyone and everyone from overseas to rock up and be housed, indefinitely? Who really has the pot of money and controls the purse strings on that one? I know they won’t tell us, and we will all continue to be treated like fools, who are looked on as silly for even asking the question and thinking of the financial cost, as well as the economic and psychological one on everyone being affected by it. Locals and new arrivals. They are being used to aggravate and inflame the locals, with a promise of something I’m sure, while everyone else just gets thrown to the curb. Like them saying “No we don’t have the financial resources we took from you over the years to keep on your behalf for you, because we are now busy giving it so someone else”. Honestly, if you worked a whole week, or month, or even day, and went to get your wages, and your employer said “Oh, you won’t be getting any money today, I decided to give them to that person over there who just turned up…”. We’d like to think that person might have something to say about that, or perhaps wouldn’t bother turning up to work every day thereafter. Or if you had saving put to one side, and you went to the bank to get them, or some of them, and the bank says “Sorry, you no longer have any savings, we decided that family over there needed somewhere to live, so we gave it to them, even though they haven’t worked, or saved any money”. I think people might suddenly stop putting their money into the hands of people who treat it like that. Or not, it’s hard to say now what people would put up with, they have been worn down quite successfully over the decades and especially the last few years, and it shows.

So, is it just incompetence we see around us, as some would like to suggest or believe. Or is it in fact a strategy, to demolish the systems that are, to replace them with the systems they want in place. To make it seems as though the current system is so old and outdated, it can’t possibly hold up to ‘modern living’, despite the fact that it has facilitated us getting here quite well. But where is here anyway? At a point on a long road that someone else put you on, to a destination they have decided, with tolls and bridges along the way you must pay for, or work through, or never make it across. They don’t want you veering from that road, don’t want you building your own bridges, or finding a better way without them. Suddenly there are fences, blockades, walls and checkpoints to go through, just for living your life. Like an odd game of snakes and ladders crossed with a rat’s maze, but instead of just a blank maze, imagine shops, and procedures, and exams that the rat has to go through before it is allowed to enter the next corridor. So they can ‘grade it’ and ‘assess it’ to decide which corridors and area it will be allowed to try and access next for its ‘reward or punishment’, whether it gets a snake, or a ladder…

Branding

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

There are two types, but really it’s the same after giving it thought, although one is physical, and one is mental.

Firstly, the physical. Farming and ownership of animals, giving them a branding, a deep mark to show who owns you, or a tag to show and identify that ownership. Also known within slavery of people, or in the punishment of criminals.

Now apply that in a psychological sense to marketing. How companies want you as ‘their customer’, branding their imagery and words into your mind through marketing campaigns and all that go with them. Adverts, jingles, merchandise, timing and strategy. All carefully prepared and thought out, to try and get you for life. And if you wear their brand, you tag yourself, and help them to further their campaign, for free.

It’s not enough to just have someone remember your product or service, they want you to buy it. They want a customer, need you to consume to be a productive customer. So, in my mind they need to ‘brand’ it into your subconscious.

Tattoos are also a type of brand I guess, but where it would appear most people do it to themselves. There are tribes who do it, and we have used tattoos to ‘identify’ prisoners and people held captive, but in society, as most of you will know, tattoos really took a foothold over the previous decades. Now not just reserved to single out people who were in the Navy or prison, they have gone mainstream. In a bid to self-identify and create our own brands of ourselves, yet all the while still following the mood of society, and in a strange way, the irony of it didn’t escape me at the time. Just as noted in The first fad, these things never happen naturally, and while we all clamoured to be an individual, we all lined up for a social branding. Well, not everyone, but enough, and it carries on. Creating industry and artistry, it’s now pretty much seen as normal.

But with that also came something else, because for the most part, tattoos are not always on show, so although someone might feel it’s part of their identity, they can’t make it obvious unless they are on show. Hence why some people have them in hideable places, so that people don’t get to label and judge as you walk by. Because people do, and I can’t say that is entirely wrong, we need to be able to judge and assess our situations and people we mingle with or are in proximity to. That’s not to say you should treat them any different based on those thoughts, but we do judge people and situations on appearances, as I believe we should, so they are quite important. Not to ‘fit in’ or to show malice towards anyone, but to know where you stand. As they say, nature will make toxic and poisonous things colourful, or with a certain sign that you should stay away. We have those signs too, not always as obvious, but occasionally they very much are.

And recently we have seen high-profile fashion companies and even social media companies that are positively delighted to see you wear their brands, and it is an affiliation, and not always a good one it turns out. Not just about socialising, fashion and clothing after all it seems, it is also a form of branding where you make a very big show of your allegiance. And of the company being able to show its numbers or a number of followers to determine how great they are. Because while it is said there is a system of ‘you will own nothing coming’, it seems that while they want to take away a system of ownership for materials things for people, they require a sense of ownership themselves, but over you. By taking away peoples own identity and ‘re-branding’ it, gets you into the fold, into the mentality set for you. Because if you don’t even know who you are, why would you fight to save it? What would you be fighting for? Being able to own your own car and home and things, isn’t the crux of the issue. Those are your possessions, you possess them, you own them. Now apply that to yourself, you are the item that they fight for, while you fight for freedom to have things. They put rules in place so that they will possess you, they will own you and your thoughts. Sounds far-fetched, doesn’t it? I know it does, but not so much if you hear what they say.

Chips in your brain so they can ‘know your thoughts’, not fantasy or science-fiction, freely discussed. That’s quite a step further from you won’t be allowed to drive isn’t it? The difference between being grounded or your parent insists that they follow you everywhere, you must tell them what you think, they will control your bank account, your choices and restrict your movement to where they decide. For your whole life. You wouldn’t have it would you? You would think they had gone mad with some kind of power delusion, gaining a strange ‘God complex’ as they call it. Thinking they ‘own’ you. And that is where we are told to not put up with that, from parents, friends, partners, bosses, nobody can own you they say, you are a person in your own right. So is that why they are trying to ‘re-write’ the human system, tinkering with DNA and being on their mission to get everyone injected. The other discussion around this is that once they have injected you with whatever it is they have, you are tagged and being made part of a system that has no place for freedom or individuality. It requires energy and humans to power it, with talk filtering through of people being used as antennas in the very near future to make 6g work, it makes that seem even more plausible. And I can’t help thinking of the scene in The Matrix, where he is shown the fields of pods, where humans are being grown for use as batteries, to power the world that now is. That might have just been a very crude representation of it, but if you take away the dark themes of pods and a scorched sky, and replace it with how it would be for us. Walking around generating the power needed, and it being syphoned away from you without you even knowing, thinking that because you aren’t unconscious in a pod pretending to have a better life, you aren’t trapped in a construct that needs you to survive. But we are, and the freedom we fight for, isn’t as it appears…

It’s A Bug’s Life Being An Ant

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

In our studies of insects, it is noted sometimes how there are similarities of structure, or behaviour. And for this purpose, we will be looking at ants. You may already have guessed where this is going by the title, but to look at what it is that causes us to notice similarities. Apart from the obvious of course, they have a colony, a queen, military ants, worker and breeder ants, and a chemical communication process that works. Can’t help thinking it’s similar, maybe we are being modelled on that? Or is a natural state we achieve as a group? Probably not as our system requires constant enforcement, and theirs appears to be of a natural order. But we can’t be sure. For all we know, the queen ant might be able to drug the worker ants, turn them into compliant zombies or somethings. See articles The Hive, and Zombies? Perhaps for a little more on that.

The two films being referenced here are both animated, and although for children, seems to have a rather grown-up undertone going on. And not really a hidden one. As I have watched a number of these type of films only as an adult, I can only speculate in mind on what a child may take from it.

A Bug’s Life (1998) – an aggressive species, apparently a bit higher than the ants in the food chain, are using them as slaves to collect food, and their whole existence is based around this. Until one questions it and disrupts the status quo, showing there is a better way.

ANTZ (1998) – For the good of the colony. Sounds very similar to ‘for the greater good’ doesn’t it. But this film is quite dark really, as it shows a conspiracy to depopulate the entire colony by the ones at the top by way of a ‘disaster’, to start again so they can be better, but without 95% of the numbers. Luckily one sees through it all eventually and saves the day, as we are supposed to think happens. When someone else saves the day covers what I think of the idea of a saviour hero character and how well placed they are in our collective psyche. But they managed to have a eugenicist colonel to head the colony and be the bad guy, and a lowly ‘worker’ to save the day.

The ones who do survive after ‘saving the day’ though, don’t ever save it for the people do they? The ones for the people who want rid of the whole shoddy system, end up dying for the cause, the ones who save it for the crown? They usually get to live, and it be called a noble cause or quest. But just as the picture and quote highlight, it would be a very different situation in the game of power, if all the ‘ants’ decided to be heroes at once wouldn’t it? Instead of waiting for someone else to save the day and swoop in from nowhere and sort everything out, if everyone stood up at once, to be their own hero, and to fight for themselves, and for and with others then it might be different. And who can say for sure what will happen when people are pushed to breaking point, despite what we think we know, there is always a variable that hasn’t been factored in that can steer it in a new direction. But that works both ways, so it’s a good idea to stay sharp and pay attention, as you never know what’s around the next manufactured corner.

I’m not sure what’s happened… (poetry)

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

I’m not sure what’s happened

It’s like a strange veil

Is moving its way

With a mind to derail

Because if people

Could really give thought

To think a bit further

Than the narrative taught

Then maybe they’d see

That the ones trying to show

And tell you of darkness

So many now know

But those are the folk

Who mostly now choose

To shout if they can

With so much to lose

Yet the ones with their hands

Quite firmly in the pot

Just push it further

And seems they will not

Admit they are part

Of the sinister whole

They created for purpose

To gain full control

But all is not going to plan…

On The Way Out

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

If you wanted to hide something, a really big dastardly plan, then people say you wouldn’t tell everyone about it. You might know the one I refer to, the big one, the openly talked about ‘conspiracy theory’ of the depopulation agenda. Many think it’s fantasy, but the idea is not new, and it’s not secret so certainly not conspiracy. But what some overlook, is that they haven’t in any way tried to hide the idea, why would they? It’s possibly required that people need to know in order for it to work and gather steam. But maybe it was the implementation of the ideas that was to be murky, and non-descript, and confusing. So that people on the ground wouldn’t piece together the bigger picture, or work out how the small things were playing their part as they happened at the time.

But there are plans and have been discussions surrounding the world’s population density and what can be done to control it, or get it in hand in some way. I’ll use one that springs to mind.

Apparently this isn’t how it sounds from Mr Gates, and has been misconstrued. But ask yourself this, how exactly did he think he would lower it by 10-15% while at the same time improving everybody’s health and environment, therefore breeding conditions? I wonder.

“First, we’ve got population,” he said during the talk organized by TED, a non-profit organization devoted to spreading ideas. “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent. But there, we see an increase of about 1.3.”

One of the recently deceased royals, Prince Philip was quoted as saying in 1988.

“In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation.”

Two ways in my mind you achieve lowering, either sterilisation, therefore knowing it can’t increase further, or extermination programs. Neither one seems very people friendly, does it? Lowering population means to stop breeding, or to kill off some people. Or both. Maybe I missed something there that was obvious to others but that is what I took from it. Maybe that’s why they want to dictate birth control, abortions, and breeding generally. Switching the rhetoric from ‘depopulation’ to ‘overpopulation’. Because it sounds a lot more user friendly to sound like you are halting the numbers, rather than culling the numbers. And when it comes to influencing and convincing people to go along with things, they have useful tools at hand. See my article Conversion, can work both ways.

But if you wanted to hide some big losses in work forces and society if you go for the culling method, it would be necessary to disrupt those industries and workplaces. Otherwise, lots of people suddenly taking sick or dying would be very noticeable and people might see. But if you had lots of strikes, restrictions, mass sackings, lots of changes, lockdowns, financial issues etc, then it struck me how much easier it becomes to hide the overall losses. Keeping everyone moving around and not having anywhere near the same routine they used to have. Work from home, 15-minute cities and zones popping up, shop online. All big changes to lots of people, but also means you see less people initially, meaning how would you know if any or a few were missing. And if you did, who would listen?

And when certain industries seem at breaking point, they can blame the strikes, the economy, the people. But all were instigated at the hands of the planners, the people Shapers, knowing what would ensue. With so many areas failing at once, the pressure and stress within each industry, I guess they expect the domino effect to then occur. Each collapsing under its own confusion and instability, causing a chain reaction with others to follow. Or it would seem that is what’s expected, although not quite coming to pass. Whether it’s just the plan isn’t working, has stalled a bit, or the people are showing more resilience than predicted, I’m not sure yet, we’ll have to see…

You Can Bank On It

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

I’m going to talk about banks. The financial world and economy are dominated by them. The portfolios they wield are eye-watering. But the premise of what they are, and what they used to offer, versus what they have morphed into is becoming clearer as time goes on.

Imagine you have a piggy bank. And you put your coins into it ‘for safe keeping’ or for ‘a rainy day’. Funny they picked a pig to hold your money isn’t it, greedy as a pig, as Bricktop would say. But you have your money in your piggy bank, and you put it to one side. When needed, you take the money out, use it, start over. Really easy, and will be why banks worked to start with.

But, let’s now imagine when you go to get some, your little piggy won’t pay up, unless you pay a fee. And the time after that, you have to pay a fee, and can’t get all the money out. Next time, fee, restricted amount, and the piggy bank has moved somewhere else, so it takes you a while to find it. Next time, piggy says you made too much, and so on. Not being funny, but you would stop using that piggy bank, thinking it had lost control of itself and was just meant to be a helping hand to manage your money. But instead, you will no longer be allowed to manage your money, because they either don’t want you having any in the capacity we once knew it, or they want to dictate it, fully.

Now, let’s take piggy further, who starts working with your employer, and the tax office and all other authorities. Your piggy bank is no longer even in your house, and gets looked at by whoever thinks it necessary. And piggy keeps taking his cut, every time you put money in, and charges a fee to the person you buy from every time you buy something. Following you in presence while you spend, then one day you go to buy something piggy doesn’t like. No. Transaction blocked. Like a controlling parent or partner, piggy takes over all your finances, decides you aren’t competent anymore…

Or something like that. But maybe it helps to imagine for some, that the little cute money saver that started as a small help, has grown into a giant pig bursting at the seems, growing in size constantly ready to explode and take people’s ‘rainy days’ with it. Just saying sorry, I dropped it all somewhere and no there isn’t any. Or not even saying sorry, just explaining how and why, with no real accountability, just more people getting rich of other people’s hard work. It’s a perfect trap.

More Than Pain Gets Killed

~ MKW Publishing ~ 10 Comments

Many people have mentioned in the last couple of years, how people have changed, or rather are now seen for what and who they really are. And it seems a fair few have revealed themselves to be quite narrow-minded, cold, and uncaring and in some cases, quite hateful. Whether it was family towards family, colleague towards colleague or friend toward friend, not everyone was expecting how it played out for them. But what seems to have been discussed, was how those people could be like that, or how someone didn’t see they were like that before. I’ve written already about it in A certain type of person, but wanted to further speculate on how it is that so many possibly came to be like that. Of course, there are those who just are like that, so may not fall into this category, and there will be others who became what they were merely through life experiences, but this is a general idea.

Painkillers and prescription drugs – I wonder if they have quietly been doing more than what they were meant to. In my article Memory I mention that it has been noted along the way, that painkillers while numbing physical pain, can also dampen and interrupt emotions and feelings. I hadn’t considered that when thinking about addictions and how so many became addicted to them after their ailment had apparently healed, I just thought they were physically addictive, and may well be. But the idea to me was that if someone is on high-end painkillers for a long time, would severely miss out on being fully emotionally present for a portion of their life. How is it perceived when something happens that requires lots of feeling? Is it void? Is it there but just not functioning because it is being inhibited? I don’t know, and don’t know anyone to ask who has had this affliction, or anyone whose parent may have been on them, so can relay how it felt and if they ever felt emotionally absent. And again, lots of people are, and have been in their lives for various reasons, but I wonder if this is one that gets overlooked on an individual level. But as we have had a general event we all got caught up in, many had to react in some way, whether they had a fully functioning system of emotions or not.

The other slightly terrifying idea, linked to that article Memory as well, is the conclusion of how memories appear to be transferred, through cells. I’ll brief the bit that leads in

“They took mice and hamsters and conditioned them to be afraid of the dark. Then they liquidized them, and injected them into rats, who previously had no fear of the dark. Once you get over that awfulness, that we do things like that ‘just to see’, the results revealed (although contested), that the rats who were injected, developed a fear of the dark.”

So, with that in mind. We know that bits of animal, and foetal DNA is used in making vaccines, and I theorise that whatever traumatic exposure or experience that life form went through before death, whether conditioned or natural, could be transferred by way of cells, into other substances. If you catch my drift. And that goes for any of the components to things that might be injected, all along the way. I wrote a fictional short story with that line of thought if you are interested called P113.

I had to admit, I do wonder if that really could have anything to do with so many seemingly on a quest to be numb to life. That emotions and feelings become too much, or is that they just aren’t received as they are meant to. If everyone around you is numbed by medication, or feels traumatised all the time and fearful because of something that really isn’t them, but is in them, how do you deal with that? You would be seen as the odd one because you are displaying emotions others can no longer recognise. Perhaps. All purely speculation of course, I can’t say either way whether people are really themselves anymore, and if they ever were. You can only know yourself though in the end anyway, and hope to feel like you might get to know some real people along the way too, who aren’t afraid to feel. Because in amongst all this fear these days, a big theme is that people are scared to be themselves, more now than ever. Bravery has to start with standing up for being yourself, then maybe you can stand up for others, it might just be needed…
