There are many situations in life you may find you need to walk away from, I realise I have from many. But only after I feel it has run its course. This may apply to jobs, friendships, arguments, interests or anything really where it appears to someone else that you are either just leaving or ending something, sometimes others will presume for no reason. But that is where you often get to choose. Do you divulge the real reason, the honest and brutal reason? Or do you go with being diplomatic and giving a reason that doesn’t offend and to a point, keeps the peace?
That may depend on which type of person you are, or it’s something that might change with age, I’m not sure yet. All I know is that as I get older, my tolerance becomes stronger, yet shorter, I can put up with more, but why should I?
I have doubts like everyone else (or at least most people), but it is what you choose to do with that doubt that can either steer you in the right direction, or hold you in the wrong place. Many a year has been lost to those that dither. Myself included. Doubt is what usually leads to either indecision, bad decision making or giving something extra considered thought. Only one of those is purposeful, and you usually don’t get to choose which one your brain will go with or be able to recognise which one is currently being employed for said situation. Often it will either be pointed out to you, or you will realise through hindsight which one would have been appropriate. Unfortunately, real life doesn’t wait until you work it out, so thinking on your feet and decision making is required, whether you can do it or not.
But decisions and doubts can dictate an awful lot of your life, whether we realise or not, or give them thought or not, they occur. Maybe I have given this more thought than the average Joe, being a bit haunted and plagued by certain decisions that have come about and the pressure of them, here is a previous article I did on that particular feeling – Decisions.
So, back to the first line, and the question that goes with it. How does one know when something has run its course? To know that, you need to have been paying attention, to your own situation, environment, surroundings and state of mind. Otherwise how can you possibly come to that conclusion, unless there is something to conclude? So a thought process needs to be engaged, to think through the situation you find yourself in or have created and are the centre star.
Ordinarily, I would say, once you know it’s time to leave, just go. But age and experience has taught me different, to know that is not always as easy as it seems. To some people it is, they see the problem and the solution and there is no grey area or in between. Great, for them. But for others there is an in between, and plenty of grey area, because there are consequences and outcomes which some people consider, too much perhaps and it stops them actually going through with things. Or how they believe they will be perceived by other people, not wanting to appear a certain way, or to be seen to be doing something. So many lives are halted, interrupted, side-tracked or just simply wasted by wanting to please others, or by not taking responsibility for their own health, happiness and stability. But there is a little secret about why that is, and probably why no-one talks about it, because it’s deep inside each of us and we like to think it isn’t there. But it is there, and it is us, all the faces and thoughts that make each of us an individual and our own person. And not being funny, it would appear to much to bear for lots of people, to really look at and into themselves, to understand want, motive and intention. Admitting we are meant to be a little bit selfish, and self-serving, but not at the cost of others. Why not make sure you are ok first, and then help others? Looking out for number one, does not mean you can’t be concerned and helpful towards all the other numbers, if you catch my drift. Not all have the capacity it seems to understand that though, and others don’t want to admit what they are, whatever that is. And it has left us in a quite a bind now I feel, because if a person doesn’t want to be an individual or who they are, and want an overriding authority to make their choices and be in charge of decision making or if they are allowed to do things, then you hand yourself over to another set up, and one we have been conditioned to accept for many a generation.
It’s been nurtured and cultivated. I guess we call it group mentality, or the idea of socialism in its current context to some. Or of being easy to manipulate or influence and control, to others. Depends on your own personal perspective. But you are told to believe it is for the greater good, for the benefit of others. Be selfless. And on the face of it, it appears to be a way to make everything cohesive, and compliant. For each part to play their set role, for the bigger picture. Unfortunately, that ideal completely overlooks the individual, human needs and desires, and needs an awful lot of rules and regulations to ‘make it work’. It is not a natural process or state for us to put aside or overlook our own personal safety and security for others on a continuous and daily basis, it has to be conditioned and enforced, and does not come naturally. Obviously, otherwise we wouldn’t have made it this far. And it surely cannot have escaped peoples notice that the ones who decide what is ‘fair and equal’ do so with it conveniently not applying to them. It really is do as I say, but not as I do.
People as a general observation also don’t like change, and will sometimes accept what is either uncomfortable or unpleasant, simply because it is familiar. But deep down they know, and will try everything they can to supress it, dampen it, distract it and hide it. Self-denial I believe is the term for that, and one that appears quite prevalent. But admitting you have had enough, should not be seen as a failure on your part, but merely making a decision to not waste anymore of your time. People seem to have forgotten how precious time really is and freely give it away on the rantings and lies of madmen (and women). It is something you cannot buy more of and you cannot get it back. And what goes with it, life, love, loss and experience – all of those things that build our characters, and shape who we become have been tampered with so much that I really do wonder how we can be what we are meant to. Or maybe this is the turning point, where we must start to really look at what we are and where this is all going? Because if we don’t want their vision of the future to unfold, we need to be planning a new one ourselves…
It seems to be an attack on what we are, who we are, and how we live.
They are going for the family structure, the sense of self, your food, your living arrangements, your wellbeing, and everything you find familiar.
I have written many articles recently covering my thoughts on what’s occurring (I will link them at the bottom in case interested). This one, like the others are just observations and thoughts about our situation. It can’t have escaped people’s attention of the recent large event in Glasgow around the climate lie, one where everybody and their billionaire attended. Hilariously using all the tools they claim to want to minimise, to get them there and cater for them. It is a rather large case of do as I say, not as I do.
But this to me has been brewing for quite some time, as with the other projects underway. Amongst all my interests, I like farming, agriculture and land management, just general so nothing major and certainly not qualified. 20 years ago, the name Monsanto kept popping up, some of my friends were quite miffed at this company that seemed to be owning patents on seeds, suing farmers for land and all sorts of nefarious practices. I kept watching.
I realised that if they control the food and water, you control the people, and I know I’m not unique in that realisation. But they needed to be strategic with it, otherwise it wouldn’t work, same with everything else going on now. Farming practices have been disrupted, corrupted and changed for the purpose of ownership. Whoever owns the land you can grow food on, wins. When the first foot and mouth outbreak happened, I thought then that it would be an advantage in the future to just cry wolf (and a certain modeller who is still employed does it a lot), and they can cripple farmers. But that won’t be enough. They need to ensure the average person can’t just start up, or have a few animals. So I figured there would be more localised outbreaks of foot and mouth, bird and swine flu, which would only affect the farms they wanted it to. That company recently was purchased by Bayer i believe, taking more control now of Indian farmland and associated with a certain foundation that seems to get around a lot.
Being able to shout outbreak whenever you needed to would pave the way nicely to impose rules and regulations (their favourite), towards small holders. They have shown they already want to decide what shops you are allowed to have. Lockdowns have taken out a multitude of family owned or run businesses. It didn’t go unnoticed that small shops had to close, but multi chain big corporations were allowed to continue. Freedom to look after and feed yourself are high on the list of things that must be eliminated it would seem.
From where I sit, it was sinister and coordinated. They want to debilitate the functionality of society. Hoping that it becomes so unbearable that we will accept their version of the future they have written for us. Fluoride in water, rations, no meat, don’t drive, no holidays, no heating, no socialising, no fun. Sounds pretty bad doesn’t it? Yet they openly discussed these things being part of our future, with only demented reasoning for it.
Just because someone has visualised a future and is determined for it to happen, does not make it so. Unless it is just for them. It’s important when I say ‘their version’ because we all have separate realities, and because someone tries to force theirs on you doesn’t make it so. Wilful people can be very insistent, persistent and selfish, add to that lots of money, a massive ego and a God complex, and you have a recipe for a maniacal wannabe overlord. Great for the movies, turns out not so good for real life.
Now is surely the time for everyone to understand we are in a manufactured state of affairs, with rather unstable characters sitting at the top. They have been at it for decades, but now they are changing the game, as they have done before, but this one is on our watch and in our time. There is much to be done…
They decided drugging people to make them more socially compliant was the way forward, and making them fit into their construct. The system worked its way down from company to medical profession, to teaching profession, to parents, and ultimately children. Ensuring the future generation would be what was required. And here we now are, another generation on from that.
The laws of nature were understood in their basic format, then replaced with the man-made laws of nature. Suppressing and dampening our natural instincts and replacing them where they could. Tinkering and testing them, for what seems to be to ultimately control them, but where does this really lead? Why would they want us all part of a system? To make it work? We were here before systems, so we are told. So they have created a construct around us, then had to shape and mould us to fit into that. It’s a never-ending cycle. So let’s look at the system, why it’s there, what purpose does it serve and who created the overall vision.
I’ll give you the short answer. I don’t know, but I see the mechanics of the system, and the cogs turning to make it all happen, so that is what I will discuss. Where we currently find ourselves, at the whim and mercy of the medical profession and background companies who run the show, we have discovered that we haven’t been free for a while now. But they seem intent on rolling out new systems as quickly as possible and wanting everyone to be on board, with no logic or reason about it, just a desperation about them. It started with projections and stats, numbers and charts, visuals and threats. All carefully selected and presented to sway reason towards what seemed like facts. For lots of people, that is where it fell apart, and quickly. The stats didn’t ring true, the data didn’t add up, and they contradicted themselves often. So it could be gross incompetence, as some have suggested, or was a deliberate attempt to hide the truth and create a virtual disaster, that would have real life results. But either way, enough people bought it for long enough to start implementing the digital systems needed to really bring it all together.
This is the post where I will put forward a seriously disturbing idea. One that is not mine, but has haunted me ever since I learnt of it. Something I would have never believed possible as a serious consideration, an idea in a boardroom that would be decided by committee members. It’s from a published book, The People Shapers, so the idea is not hidden, but it still feels like bringing horror into people’s reality where it wasn’t before. But this is reality, not fiction. The title of the section it came from should not surpise you of where this is going, but here it is – Warehouses for the Living Dead. It does sound like a horror film doesn’t it? Or is it just me seeing that? Now move on from the title, the two pictures below are the content of that section, and I hope you will realise my concerns once you read them.

Now, hopefully you are on board with why I am horrified. But a couple of things I will bring to point – firstly, the last line of the second page. Who they would no longer need to use. Meaning that they had already been and probably were continuing to use mentally retarded CHILDREN as test subjects. That stuck in my throat a bit. But the whole thing was just a different level of real horror, being discussed and voted on by governments and people in power. Two visuals for this sprung to mind for me from movies, one of them funnily enough having the main character called Neo. Oddly close to Neomort isn’t it.

Maybe I am just thinking too much into it, and I worry to much for people and what awful plans might be afoot for us all, but I can’t help thinking if they see us a commodity and expendable anyway, and really we are just spare parts, what type of a future do they really have planned for people?
Was it always going to be this way? I have speculated for many a decade now about how they manage to keep people divided and at odds with each other. But let’s be honest, they don’t need to do an awful lot for it to happen, we naturally seemed prepared as a group and sometimes as individuals to jump to conclusions, be influenced by others or just led astray. So when I factor in the amount of pressure, encouragement and downright manipulation for that to have occurred recently, I knew we never stood a chance.
It’s not hard to fuel the flames of hatred, we are seeing very real examples of this daily now. And make no mistake, it is hatred. Being born, bred and nurtured so that people won’t just fear their fellow man, they will come to hate them. It’s been done so obviously, yet not everyone can see it. People are much easier to control and influence if they are shut off from, or distanced from their usual routine, friends and family. Add to that the roll out of Project Fear last year through constant and inaccurate reporting and propaganda. Daily briefings to overtake people’s daily lives, activities and thoughts, steering them to where they wanted them to go.
All I can presume is that they really do want people hating each other and themselves. Because while they are doing all these strategic things in society and to people, they are painting themselves as the ones who can bring you stability, comfort and care. They don’t though, just say they can, and that seems to be enough for most people. But if you point out that they haven’t and don’t, they blame and vilify you. Because a down beaten population who are afraid of themselves and who they are, aren’t going to say boo to a goose, as the saying goes. It is to their advantage for us all to be squabbling amongst ourselves, which is why they have created the issues we see today.
We have always been divided to a point in this country, we have had a class system for quite some time, we have a social credit system already, social security, and all sorts of systems and rules to separate us out. Intelligence standards, an education curriculum, exams. All to separate and divide into sections, and data. It just wasn’t being used so obviously against us before now, they appeared to be systems to help us. But now it is being used against us. I have gone into the idea of how far it wants to go in my previous article Monitoring.
We appear to be going into a new era, where they don’t want people having fun, enjoyment, good health or freedom. They want them to be hooked on their drugs and hooked up to their digital plan, and if you can get your head round that bit, we need to be asking the very serious question of why? Next to all my logical well thought out theories and ideas, there are still some very unpolished rather outrageous ones, which despite me trying to throw them out or dismiss them, persist. So I will go on a wild speculation here, with absolutely nothing else to go on other than a feeling and an idea. I’ll try and word it so that it makes sense. I was going to do another movie post to help cover another aspect of this idea, but it may as well be here instead.
Brace yourselves – Maybe the energy generated by thoughts and feelings can be harnessed and amplified. If they were able to do it, they would need everyone’s energy and thought directed towards one thing, which wouldn’t have been possible previously without the internet and media being so widely distributed and controlled. They would also need a group or shared event that could be used. So, you have everyone focused on one thing, feeding the machine. Which in turn generates its own bad energy, amplifying the result.
A few movies spring to mind here to help with the idea –
Dark City (1998) – There is a machine powering the changes and modifications, which is activated by thought.
Batman Forever (1995) – There is an invention, that attaches to the television set, showing the energy being sucked from the people’s heads into the receiver, being then fed back to the central feed.
Tomorrowland (2015) – A machine, used to create doom imagery, which then amplifies the negative thoughts and feeling, making it a loop of self fulfilling-doom.
Those three were the main films for that type of thought machine, there are other films which cross over perhaps, but they are about stealing thoughts, feelings, fears and dreams. Usually to feed something…
The Dark Crystal (1982) – Behind all the puppets, some of which are terrifying, there is an undertone of energy, crystals and of evil draining the life essence from drones/slaves.
The City of Lost Children (1995) – Children are kidnapped to then have their dreams extracted through a machine to stop premature aging.
Dark Tower (2017) – Another one abducting children to use their power to feed something.
Monsters Inc (2001) – I was quite disturbed by this one, seemed colourful and friendly on the face of it, but had a sinister tone with the machine for stealing children’s screams, again, to power a machine.
I told you it was pretty out there, but what if they do know how to, or have worked out how to harness our collective energy or thoughts and it feeds our own destruction. All made possible with the ‘world wide web’ – remember things get caught in webs! And now they are pushing with increasing desperation, the digital passes and ID’s, wanting everyone in a central database to then be able to dictate who, what, where, when and how. They don’t want us to be human beings anymore, we will be human doings. Because it will be our output that will be monitored more than it is already. It started with trying to make you aware of your consumption, your carbon footprint, your wastage. But really what they seem to be interested in, is what you are, not what you do, or how much you use. And because I think the way I do; I cannot help thinking it is for rather nefarious purposes. Another article is needed for that wandering through, it’s been with me for quite some time and it’s the most disturbing of all so I have been reluctant to share it in its entirety, but I think the time is coming to share that one too.
For the personality-transformers a major early objective is to destroy the identity using the three D’s of conversion under coercion. That way it is then much easier to ‘re-build’ or ‘repair’ that breakdown into what you consider a desired outcome.
Debilitation – keeping you in your house for weeks without a firm end date, taking away other essential functions for normality and threatening to take away things and people you love from your circle. Taking away your ability to earn money, live and survive.
Dread – made to feel it might go on forever but it constantly changes so you can’t get used to it, make it so that you won’t know when something will happen, topped off with worry of impending virus and death
Dependency – realising your fate lies with your captors, thinking that the only way to make them stop, or let you go, is to comply with them. You ‘hope’ it will get better.
And this is where hope can become a very misleading thought process. Because while you are sat back hoping for better, worse is appearing before your very eyes.
How some people don’t see it astounds me. The surveillance measures that are being proposed to deal with a strain of a virus which has a 99.7% survival rate (and in the UK the average of death with it is now older than the average age of death generally!), and is part of a group of viruses we have known about for quite some time, is just extraordinary. And now the hostility that appears to be happening online between generations of families is hurtful to behold. I have a very split family, with people disowning each other left right and centre going back decades, so I know it happens anyway. People are standing their ground, on both sides, and are willing to lose everything for it. But which side is right? They both think they are, but while they are squabbling with each other and now blaming, hating, accusing each other of various things – the true puppeteers of it all, must be laughing their heads off.
Shit stirrers we used to call them, and occasionally I used to be one in school, because I was bored and understood how easy it was to ’cause a ripple’ as they say. It was surprisingly easy to turn people against each other, or to start a rumour to see how fast it travelled round. But very quickly you grow out of that, you learn it’s called ‘playground tactics’ for a reason. Because for me, I decided that those were lessons in life, myself, in people and behaviour.
But now they are destroying family units, networks and generations of empathy and love – being distinguished and replaced with hate and contempt. I can’t help thinking it has become its own monster now, and will follow this path of destruction because that is what people do, or appear to have done. We do not just recognise and acknowledge the wrongness, we gravitate towards it, discuss it and indulge it. I can’t help thinking a speech in a recent movie I watched nailed it to me, it’s a corny film and I guess this speech is too, but it meant something to me and my thoughts of how much better we could be.
“Let’s imagine… if you glimpsed the future, you were frightened by what you saw, what would you do with that information? You would go to… the politicians, captains of industry? And how would you convince them? Data? Facts? Good luck! The only facts they won’t challenge are the ones that keep the wheels greased and the dollars rolling in. But what if… what if there was a way of skipping the middle man and putting the critical news directly into everyone’s head? The probability of wide-spread annihilation kept going up. The only way to stop it was to show it. To scare people straight. Because, what reasonable human being wouldn’t be galvanized by the potential destruction of everything they’ve ever known or loved? To save civilization, I would show its collapse. But, how do you think this vision was received? How do you think people responded to the prospect of imminent doom? They gobbled it up like a chocolate eclair! They didn’t fear their demise, they re-packaged it. It could be enjoyed as video-games, as TV shows, books, movies, the entire world wholeheartedly embraced the apocalypse and sprinted towards it with gleeful abandon. Meanwhile, your Earth was crumbling all around you. You’ve got simultaneous epidemics of obesity and starvation. Explain that one! Bees and butterflies start to disappear, the glaciers melt, algae blooms. All around you the coal mine canaries are dropping dead and you won’t take the hint! In every moment there’s the possibility of a better future, but you people won’t believe it. And because you won’t believe it you won’t do what is necessary to make it a reality. So, you dwell on this terrible future. You resign yourselves to it for one reason, because *that* future does not ask anything of you today. So yes, we saw the iceberg and warned the Titanic. But you all just steered for it anyway, full steam ahead. Why? Because you want to sink! You gave up! That’s not the monitor’s fault. That’s yours.”
But it almost seems as though we are confused, and the ideas they are pumping us full off are not in the right direction, are not from a place of peace and prosperity at all. They are from a greedy, selfish and controlling section of society who are introducing ever more startling and sinister forms of control. Once they separate us mentally and physically from each other and ‘hook’ us up to their creation, we may not have the choice of being ourselves anymore. And maybe the truth of the matter is that many people didn’t like themselves to begin with, so what they are offering does seem attractive. But time and perspective will deal people a cruel blow here, because it is only with those two will you know if you made the right choice for yourself, or if it was right to hand over all your choices to them. Letting them decide who you get to be.
Lots of people build their identity around their family, work, friends, interests. Through those things and time and experience, you usually find yourself or who you think you are and often can help in maintaining what people call, your sense of self. So take away those things, or change or restrict them, and to me you start to disrupt the sense of self, which then leads neatly into starting to tinker and tamper with identity and personality. Ending very deliberately in converting someone’s thought process to your desired outcome. Sometimes people don’t even know they are being coerced, it can be done very subtly. It usually starts to fall apart when other people question it though, which is why it is very important to keep people away from others (lockdowns, bubbles, restriction), or leads to anger and odd behaviour, because people can’t explain why they feel that way, they just do. I more than most do understand someone not having the language to articulate themselves to explain what they feel, that is different. When someone doesn’t have a coherent argument or valid point to dispute, they will often then get angry or annoyed, start calling names like mental or selfish, and try and use emotional blackmail to get their way. “If you don’t do this, then you cant…” because it is not just what they think they believe you are questioning, it is their very sense of self. Which can be quite unnerving when suddenly highlighted by mere words from another person. They think they are asking you a question – but in fact, the whole shell of the person has just started to crumble with that question, but they are unable to communicate that effectively.
I hope that people who are picking either side, are at least doing so with the full possession of what facts are available, and that you know without any doubt in your heart that you are right. That you have made up your own mind, whatever that may be, make sure they are your thoughts, your ideas and your conclusions. This is your life, and as far as I am aware, you only get one.
It hasn’t escaped many people that what is happening today in society parallels many a story line or movie that has come out in the last four or five decades. When is it that art stops imitating life and life takes over the imitation? And when in that does it then become reality and stop being imitation at all?
You may or may not be familiar with these films, but they have popped back into memory into the last year and a half as relevant. I’m not sure how well this blog piece will turn out, as it’s not a review of these films, but rather an observation of them and what I took from them.
V for Vendetta – (2005) It seemed obvious to me that this was a pretext to a possible shift in society, personally though I had no idea it would be so very close to the truth. Apart from someone coming to save the day, those parts in films I worked out long ago were to make you sit back and wait for a hero, a saviour. So it didn’t have to be you. That’s where it is just fiction I am afraid. But you have to admit if you have watched it, there are starkly obvious warning signs that once at the whim of madness and personal agendas, sense and reason are dismissed and it takes a dark turn.
They Live – (1988) Oddly this film passed me by for many a decade until a few years ago. I thought it was great (not just for the rather long fight scene which was awesome), but by how revealing and again, obvious it was. I grew up knowing there was manipulation everywhere, marketing tactics and brainwashing techniques, but I learnt this from reading and seeing. And slightly of having the feeling that some ‘people’ really weren’t like me, at all. So that movie was a instant win for me, and seems many others noticed it too.
Enemy of The State – (1998) A look at how easy it is through means of monitoring and surveillance, to control, destroy or eliminate someone. And we are 20 years on from that film now, and we know they must have had various tech capabilities like that for a while before we ever get to see the mock version.
The Island – (2005) This is not a comfortable watch really. It’s one of my favourites, but the premise had me realising what we were really viewed as, and my fears of underground cities being populated by people who didn’t know they were captive, became visually represented in that movie. There will be a follow up blog to this one which will reference this movie again, and another on the list, and it is a true horror. And one talked about not in a movie, but in real life, by people in charge decades ago now.
Logans Run – (1976) Another one that passed by but was watched a few years ago. A controlled society where each person is given an expiry date of 30 years old, no questions, no good reasoning, but lots of effort put into maintaining the charade. Need I say more, I got the point of it very quickly.
X-Files Movie – (1998) The virus one. Strange discovery, a black liquid that is actually a virus and can manipulate its host. Sounds rather like graphene oxide now we know more about that, and the idea of an alien race either already being amongst us, or trying to assimilate us keeps popping up as a theme over and over. Make your own mind up on that, the jury is still out for me.
Book of Eli – (2010) A stark and bleak look at where we could easily be in only a generation. But the interesting things about that film, and a few others, is the non-explanation of what actually happened to cause everything to just stop or change. An event, a bright light, a catastrophe, and then the forthcoming collapse of society, but all very vague about what led to it, or a very quick montage, to make you think it happens overnight.
The Matrix – (1999) We all knew this would on the list, surely. And will be on the other post too, but for this one it’s going to be the concept which many related to. Of being trapped in the construct of society which is dictated by rules and systems. Some can and easily do navigate those systems being aware of them and not, and some people don’t or can’t. But it also tried to generalise reality and the human experience as something you can quantify and replicate. My experience has been that everyone appears to be living in their own version of reality first, and then we are all taking part in a second shared version of reality. Could be the second one is the matrix, but the first one is down to each person, dual reality.
Dark City – (1998) Quite out there for an idea, but a good one. Having your mind controlled and changed depending on what they want to study, having your environment constantly altered and sleep controlled. There is much more to it behind that though, which goes with the idea that we are not from where we have ended up. That we are searching for ourselves, well some of us are. The start of the film has him ‘waking up’, from the illusion, and for the longest time, despite all being part of it, others cannot see it.
Tank Girl – (1995) A simple yet effective film. It’s the future (set in only 2033) – and there is no water and what there is, is being controlled, by one corporation. Therefore, they control the people. It’s really that simple.
The Truman Show – (1998) Someone’s life moulded and controlled from birth. Made out to be a happy entertaining affair, that it’s ok to do that as long as millions are entertained and distracted from living their lives too. So many lives wasted. It’s a sad film to me. And I am part of that sadness for the number of times I watched it and wasted my own while doing it. I learnt of a study they did decades ago – where they separated triplets and had them adopted into different families so they could study nature versus nurture. They kept visiting each of them throughout their lives, keeping it a secret they had siblings. We know they do these things, but that doesn’t mean we have to agree with them or accept them as right. Here is a bit more info on that if interested – Three Identical Strangers.
Soylent Green (1973) – I haven’t actually seen this film, and only heard of it last year. Look it up, I get the feeling it should be on this list.
There are many others with a virus storyline, or of societal control and we know these are not new concepts at all. But what is new is to see them roll out into reality, in real time. Not condensed into an hour and a half, with no pause button, no off switch or end in sight. When I watched films and thought of the idea, I had not considered they would all happen at once, overlayed, so that elements of each would appear.
