Every day it gets harder

“Every day I am forced to watch the same horror movie about people clamouring for lethal jabs while unaware of the bodies piling up everywhere. Pharma-media propaganda & censorship is so powerful that it can lead people to be complicit in their own demise.” – Pierre Kory MD MPA

Scary isn’t it. For the people watching, and even more so I should imagine for the people who took part in the experimental trial. Although we were all part of the psychological experiment, some of us rather unwilling participants, and others were easily led into handing over their health, safety and sense of security to unknown external forces. It was hard to watch unfold then, knowing where it would lead. But most of that was speculation and was covered from a certain angle in my article Who really knows where it goes, but now we are actually seeing it. What many will dismiss, or don’t want to talk about, but the fallout from this, and one I speculated would occur based on everything I had thought through and discovered. Just as with the mental overload of recent time, a psychological cascade event happened within people’s minds, I theorised that these jabs were programmed to cause a cascade event within your immune system. To crash, replicate and override the current system in place. Because the people who talk of finance and introduce these things, seem rather obsessed with programming, technology and AI. We seem rather outdated to them, and they tell us so.

But the desensitisation of people to a certain extent must be complete, because while they were horrified apparently at video footage of people dropping dead abroad which was used to gather support for lockdown, they seem rather unconcerned about people doing it on live television, or weekly now at sporting events (if not daily). There is also the VAERS reporting yellow card system which was always a marker for concern. Now we have various groups set up across all forms of social media, videos, testimonies, interview, coroners reports, death certificates. Yet nothing. No shock, fear and concern that something is going on after all, just not what you thought. No. Instead, it seems complete mental shutdown, self-denial of the most spectacular proportions has occurred, and a denial of reality. Obliviousness of a new magnitude. That is what is terrifying.

But the ones who have realised that they made a mistake, and a rather big one, are also being overlooked and dismissed in many cases. Ignored by many and gaslit by authorities, adding to their plight. I did suspect they would do that, either to pretend it didn’t happen or to blame the injured for their own injury. “Well, it was your decision, nobody made you do it”. And to a point, that is correct, nobody made them do it, but they were heavily encouraged, coerced, blackmailed and downright lied to in a bid to convince them. So, yes, they were grossly mis-informed, but they thought they had the right information at the time, and unfortunately, listened to the wrong people. Because there were two sides, us ‘crazy’ folk on one side, who seemed wildly hell bent on not going along with the regime, and the other side. The ones who just kept moseying on through and wanting to believe the government and institutions there to ‘protect’ us, were the ones telling the truth. Well, time has told on that one, and now we know for sure who was right.

They are backtracking on data, charts and outcomes. Admitting those ‘crazy’ people were in fact correct on many points all along. Even paying out compensation for said vaccine injuries. Yet, still going ahead with the ridiculousness, as if they are so far gone, they just can’t let it go. They want their digital ID system, they want you hooked up to a central Monitoring system where they can control you and decide what’s best for you. And when I say hook up, I don’t mean in the traditional sense, where you plug in and out like these days. You can still put your phone down and walk away at this point. It is more integration they are looking for, to literally overwrite your current functioning systems, with something new and constantly being watched, monitored, cajoled, herded and ultimately harvested. Whether it be your personal data, your time, your organs, your brain mechanics, your family, your money, your life – they want you, what you are and what you have. And I look around and wonder, did those things really mean so little to so many people in the first place, that they didn’t even recognise that’s what was being taken from them? Or did they just work out what really was at stake when they handed over their mind, body and soul. The whole package for someone else to manipulate, control and benefit from. Disturbing. Especially when you realise when they say ‘what’s best for you’ is the same as ‘for your safety’. It’s for them, for their needs and what’s best for them, and you are either the means to that, or in the way of that, and are being treated accordingly. Best to know which one you are viewed as, and then indeed, act accordingly…

Electric Vehicles

I feel this needs an article of its own. Transport and the ability to travel is also under threat, so thought I would look at the subject and all I have seen so far to make me think it’s a very bad idea for people on the ground, and a great idea for the people who want to exert more control over the populations.

They push it as part of the ‘Green Agenda’, this glossy well packaged idea for the future, which shows green living, happy people, clean cities and everyone smiling. Do not be fooled by the pretty designs and the calming colours, it’s all been managed to appear that way. But as with everything these days, there is a sinister undertone that creeps through. Something I’m not even sure they are trying to hide. So I’ll look at each item that has struck me as an issue as I have come across it.

Extracting the materials for the lithium – It would appear that it is an extremely destructive process to nature and the environment to extract the main component for the batteries, lithium. Leaving massive quarries and canyons in its wake. It looks like something just came and removed a part of the earth. Reminding me slightly of the TET in the film Oblivion. Where they tricked the cloned inhabitants into believing they were using the seawater for hydro energy, and that aliens had ravaged the earth. When in reality, they were the aliens posing as humans to steal our resources.

Cost of vehicle and repairs – It’s been noted by a number of online posts how much the initial outlay is for the vehicles, meaning most are out of normal people’s reach without debt being incurred. And the repairs and replacement parts aren’t cheap, so looks like they would also be offering you some kind of loan for this? Or rental perhaps? All ties in nicely to the new agenda creeping in doesn’t it?

Batteries catching fire – this one being incredibly serious, and if you have seen the online footage of electric buses, cars and bikes catching fire, then you’ll know why. If not, check them out, you should be informed on this. It’s not just a normal fire, once the lithium catches, it’s like a rocket fire, and water only makes it worse. What could possibly go wrong? Also, warning signs have been shown online at multi story carparks saying electric vehicles cannot be parked there for safety reason. I suspect the two things are related.

Electricity rationing – oddly at the same time as they are pushing for everything to go electric, they have increased the price of electricity to unsustainable levels, and said there isn’t enough of it, there may be blackouts and rationing for it. Logic has truly left the building.

Kill switches – this is a very important one, and not many people are even aware of it. They are building kill switches into electric vehicles, and possibly other electric things hooked up to a central point (like smart meters), so they can decide to switch it off if they need to, you know, for safety. Or at least that is always their angle. Drink drivers, car theft, potential accidents that could occur, so all for the ‘safety’ of people, right? It’s going to be standard in America in 2026 they say (article here for more info), so we’ll watch this space and see how long before it is standard.

Maximum radius – so this is the point of the main concern (other than the potential for a fireball death). They have made no secret of wanting to disrupt every area of our lives, and the ability to travel freely is one that appears to be high on the agenda. Because if we can travel freely and unchecked, they can’t control us. Which is why it seemed so odd to me that we had a Schengen Agreement, when I believed they didn’t really want us to have any freedom like that. But I guess my theory now is, they allowed all that openness, so they could manoeuvre their chess pieces into play.

Slight tangent, but I learnt an interesting twist about Vlad Dracula the other day, and of his historical act of impaling thousands of people, it says he did this because although they appeared just as ‘traders’, he believed them to be an invading force sending in thousands of pawns to dilute the communities and weaken the cities, paving the way for the full invasion. So, he killed all of them. Therefore, when you think of this as a game of chess, and it being about strategy, timing and a great deal of forethought, it becomes easier to see why they do things. By restricting how much petrol you can buy, or how long your battery stays charged, or if your car can move, they get to decide where you can go, when you can go, if you can go. And if you only use public transport, then you will be slightly accustomed to these rules already, and maybe that is why they made it so inefficient, so they already have many people in that frame of mind, only on a set route and track, no deviating, you arrive when they decide.

It seems they want us to have a limited space available to us, and to believe the world is a lot smaller and overcrowded than it is. Be in a strip of a city, the new thing being built apparently, where everything you need is all within 20 minutes, entirely enclosed it seems, and very restricted and weird. Or maybe not to some people. The wheels appear to be coming off this agenda before it’s even been rolled out, so who knows what the ultimate plan really is with it, we shall see…

Creating A Nightmare Reality

South Park – Imaginationland. A great set of episodes, as many were, but this one led to something else in my thought process. A group of three episodes that feature the idea of imagined characters thought up by people all reside somewhere (Imaginationland), and that there is a magical way to get there. There’s much more to it, and if you haven’t watched it then you should, unless you don’t like South Park of course, in which case it may be somewhat of a chore.

On a basic level, I did and have continued to give thought to the idea that what we think, does create something, somewhere, but my theory on that is still taking shape. Although I have speculated on it in Is it the machines we should really fear? And toiled with the idea in one of my short stories called Book Launch, contained in my second collection of short stories ‘A Short Walk and other dark short stories’ (I’ll link the book at the bottom of the post in case anyone is interested).

Stargate Film – there is a cross-over and if you have seen Imaginationland, then you will know why. But for those who don’t, they literally feature Kurt Russell as a character who has to go through the opened portal to Imaginationland, because of his previous experience doing it in Stargate. We actually have talk of a stargate(s) being discovered in historical times, even though shrouded in mystery, so I thought it worthy of attention. Because we all know there are giveaways and clues in ‘entertainment’, but just how relevant those clues are and all that symbolism is remains to be seen.

Avatar – I include this because it was a weird film to me, which seemed to be about a dimensional cross-over of your consciousness, into another body, an ‘Avatar’. The word itself means manifestation, so what exactly is being manifested and where? This probably swings back round to my other piece, The great divide, which explains my theory on this. And ties into the idea of their being external entities being created by your conscious and possibly subconscious thoughts, of that the enerygy from them is at least harvested in some way. The power of thought as they say. And you create your own reality. The general premise of karma would seem to fit here, you get back what you put out there, so maybe it is. But it’s been altered slightly to make people think there is an overseer, decided to dish it out rather than it being a natural consequence of just being a person. And by thinking someone else is in charge of it, you don’t then claim responsibility for it. Easy then to side-step the action of owning it I guess.

But back to the original plot, Imaginationland. The end of it sees a destruction, caused by people in the real world, and there happens to be one boy left, who can imagine it back into existence. Made me think of The Neverending Story, which is also an awesome watch, but has lots of things in there to mull over about reality and imagining things. Again, if you haven’t seen, it’s worth it, I think so anyway.

And while it may be great to imagine things, once you realise they may just be real somewhere else, it should make you give a little more thought to what is going on in mind. And just because you think it, doesn’t mean you need to try and make it part of your actual reality. Know when to separate it and control it. Be mindful of your thoughts…

That’s Not Cricket

Mainly because it’s a grasshopper, but only in its solitary mode. Once it activates and becomes gregarious, then it becomes a locust. I had no idea they were the same species that transforms into an eating machine and become a ‘plague’ when the conditions are right. It would seem there have been some odd occurrences in the past, recent past in the bigger scheme of things, which stand out as a bit odd. And recently having seen a number of articles about factories being built to accommodate their drive to breed crickets for consumption, got me thinking in my usual way of linking together a train of thought and seeing where it goes.

This one leads me to a very wild conspiracy theory, with nothing to go on other than a single idea. That they have no intention of us having to eat bugs at all, but that they are strategically building lots of factories for bugs for two reasons. Firstly, they could cause a devastating plague by ‘accidently’ releasing them or having an incident by which they escape, in a large enough number to cause issue to any remaining crops there are in the normal population. And secondly all those extra insects can deal with us if there happens to be lots and lots of unexpected deaths. Too much for the average services. Maybe they don’t want to keep burying people, so that will be the new way. Feed the dead to insects, and then feed the insects to the living. A very creepy food chain idea.

But there have been some notable events surrounding these insects. You may be familiar with Egypt being the host for the most famous of all, the biblical plague of locusts. Another caught my attention though, of more recent times. In the US there have a number of incidents involving the Rocky Mountain locust, which decimated crops and grew to epic proportions between 1873-1877. Oddly, it ‘just went extinct’ around 1902, just like that.

There was another locust swarm through mid-west America in 1931, which seems to be around the great depression time and was caused by the drought/dust bowl scenario they say, making the conditions perfect for the grasshoppers to morph into locusts. Displacing nearly 4 million Americans who headed towards California, it is also said that Canada experienced a similar incident that year, leading to unemployment camps being built for the men who couldn’t find jobs, but could work hard labour for a dollar a day. Someone benefitted there, as someone always inevitably does from disaster.

But I never just take anything on face value, and although it may well be as they say, I’ll also look at the other possibilities and options. And there seems to be an ulterior motive for most things being introduced these days, so I think it is correct to question it. Or as they are quite fond of telling you one thing while doing the exact opposite, so if you apply that logic, suddenly things are very different from how they first appeared.

Strange as well how one of the news reports I read, mention them just falling from the sky, seems there have been other events and odd things to look into…

The Mark of the Beast

This title really shouldn’t surprise anyone who has been paying attention. It’s coming, at first through what looked like benign offerings of technology to make life easier. Covered in Convenience, or dependence? But this is more than that, this is an intrusion into our bodies, to make us literally part of their system, no longer a consumer or mere bystander, but assimilated with it.

It seemed for the longest time, the barcode was the representation of the mark of the beast, as told in the bible, that no man shall buy or sell, lest he have this mark. Each product mostly has to have a barcode these days, but you can still trade without it. So, maybe money was the mark then, without that you cannot buy or sell? But you can, because you can still barter and trade with goods, eliminating the money in the transactions altogether, just like the good old days.

What they really seem intent on though, is eliminating people being part of a normal daily transactions, apart from the buying and consuming bit. A conveyor of customers that you can just scan – do you not see the correlation? They scan barcodes of products to keep track of them, and process them through a database of transactions for the purpose of analysis. Usually for the purpose of continued marketing, i.e., are people buying that product, how much do we need, re-ordering etc. So put yourself now as that product, with your inserted chip and barcode tag, slight upgrade from your national security number, although it will be tied to it, integrated with your digital ID. Once you start on that conveyor belt, you don’t actually know where it goes do you? And as they scan more people and analyse the data, they will adapt those systems for said requirement, but as the algorithm interprets them, from a robotic and sterile viewpoint. There will be minimal interaction with other people, unless they too are part of the conveyor. I know a little we’ve all secretly dreamed of having a shop to ourselves, or wishing that the people would be replaced by machines so we didn’t have to talk to anyone, or smile, or be polite, because sometimes we just aren’t feeling it. But on the flipside, how many have just popped to a shop to be able to see and be around people, when maybe you aren’t in the best place in your life. We used to joke about GP surgeries being full all the time because old people needed someone to talk to, so they would be there. Not anymore obviously, but the point being, that people need other people for the most part.

Once you are in the system though, by way of boimetrics, facial recognition and digital I.D, it will be very hard for you to be in control of your own life and make your own decisions. And maybe you struggled with those things anyway and welcome the new way that is coming, but the majority do not seem to be on board, not voluntarily anyway. So, they are trying very hard to coerce, blackmail and manipulate people into accepting their ‘access systems’, where they get to decide what, where, who and when. It can seem scary I know to be responsible for yourself, your whole life and decisions, but what is even scarier, is the thought of some else doing it all for you, throughout your entire life. The parent that just won’t let go, or ever let you leave home, and needs to know what you are doing all the time, and decides when you can and can’t do things, decides what you eat, if you can work etc. We used to call that controlling and abusive, but for some reason because it is the face of a corporation doing it, people seem fine with it. And because they want to do it to everyone, that seems ok to for many, just shocking. Behind these corporations are people, greedy manipulative people who are used to getting their own way and when they jump, they pay people to say how high. That’s who wants to be in charge of your life, and little by little they are being let in through the front door, being invited, just as a victim needs to invite a vampire into their home to give them extra powers, it seems to be the case here. So, all I can advise, is that people don’t be so willing to be a product on the conveyor of consumerism, because just as those things you used to scan were useful to you, you become useful to someone else, you just won’t know why yet…

Flat or Round?

As we know, there is much debate around this subject, and some seem to find even the idea of questioning it to be a disgrace. As if you have suddenly become Rumpelstiltksin and asked them to hand over their first-born child. I don’t think there should be a problem around having the conversation, and if someone ends up thinking I am stupid because of it, then so be it. But as we have seen of late, the establishment seem rather keen on having a certain narrative in place, and the advantages it holds. So, I will examine the flat earth or globe earth question from my point of view and what advantage it may pose to have one being believed over the other. It has been part of the historical narrative for a while now that people ‘stupidly’ believed the earth to be flat, they drew it, talked about it being so, put it in stories and it was so. But then something changed, they ‘discovered’ it wasn’t apparently around 500 BC.

So, we have a round earth now, with all the maths and maps making it all nice and neat. I wonder if they had a system of vilifying people back then if they didn’t believe it, like they did with other things they insisted people ‘believe’, with very severe punishments if you didn’t. But I figured if you decide on the answers and make sure you only teach that method and reasoning, you can easily move that thought through an academic community. I used to be amused by people getting irate about people believing one or the other, my response was always that I don’t actually mind which one it is, because I’m never going to know and it doesn’t not change what my feet are stood upon.

But I have changed that viewpoint slightly, because it may well be that I don’t mind, but it’s the why that niggles at me. Why would they want us thinking it’s round? And the opposite thought too, why would they want us to think it’s flat? Both given equal time and energy with no bias. And I have come across some very interesting theories along the way, some I think are fascinating and to me hold merit and are worthy of attention. And even though I may not agree with their entire theory, it gives me ideas about how it may have been manipulated to how we know it today. One in particular I am intrigued by is the crater earth theory / bigger earth theory.

Which theorises that we are on both a flat surface area in a crater, on a much, much bigger earth. And the other ‘craters’ are the other ‘planets’ we see and are told of being reflected onto the dome of the firmament. So, when they say they go to Mars, maybe they do, because it’s over there, not up there. Once you fall into the crater theory, there are many ideas that come from it. None provable of course, but they make sense. So, I tend to then go to the why again. Why would they want to lie?

If you knew your world was suddenly much bigger, much more amazing and far reaching, would it change how you see it? What you would do in it? Where you might like to go, if you knew it just went on and on. Still vast distances, but exploring to the ends of the realm. It would be harder to contain people if they knew and were working together to discover that. But as with much in this world, there are gatekeepers to this information and opportunity. Like if you found the fountain the youth, would you run and tell everyone about it? Or an endless bucket of money, would you share it all out continuously so everyone had enough and it’s worth appeared diminished? Or would you keep it, hold it, save it, for yourself? And this is where people and greed go hand in hand, whether it is through selfishness, or the illusion of value, I’m not sure, probably a combination though with some meanness thrown in.

So, although the world may be one or the other, I treat it as a Schrödinger problem until I have solid information I can verify – it is both round and flat. But what I am most interested in and can unpick, is why they would want you to think something, the advantage it holds to them for us to believe we are on a precarious spinning ball, flying through space. That we should ignore the parts of physics that would dispel that, and focus on the parts that apparently neatly tie everything up, although they are subject to change or can be updated at any moment if they decide. And I am all for new information, but not just for the sake of it. It has been shown that there is much you can convince people of, and through the use of technology it is not hard to create what you want people to see, literally, so we are left to work through what is available. The things that don’t quite add up or make sense, shouldn’t be overlooked just because someone told you to, give them a bit of time and thought and come to your own conclusion, whatever that may be…

Convenience or Dependence?

In the midst of this ‘energy crisis’, they feel it necessary to tell you every day you won’t be able to afford things, this and that will be cancelled, what is the most expensive appliance to run and so on.

So, I will take a look at that idea and break it down. Again, I have spent years giving thought to and researching social history and how things came to be the way they are, and indeed, how were they before. I’ll talk about obvious ones so you know what I mean.

Washing Machines and Microwaves. Both became mainstream before I was born, but were still rather pricey as I was growing up. We didn’t have a washing machine for years (or indeed a microwave), instead had to go for trips to the laundrette with my mum, getting to sit and watch all sorts of people doing their domestic chore in public. Then we had a twin-tub machine, where after it was washing, you had to hoist over the heavy wet washing into the spinner section. Then being able to rent one became a thing, and my mum rushed to get her first proper washing machine, and every week we went to the shop with the rental card to pay our instalment, sometimes just me going. Seeing how, for what looks like a little amount consistently, you can have something big. Although once I learnt of the interest charges and length of time on these things, I realised where the money was in it as a business, and it was for the people renting these appliances out.

Both washing machines and microwaves entering the household on a normal basis meant a big change to the dynamic of said household. And one I didn’t really appreciate at first, and probably not really for a long time even after I was aware. It changed time. Suddenly women, and any domestic men at the time, had more time on their hands and I didn’t realise why I hadn’t thought of it. The amount of time it used to take to complete certain manual chores was much more than today, so if you are spending all day cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping etc, that’s a whole day. But no more. You can have all that done within a couple of hours now, just by filling up a few machines and pressing a button or two. And maybe some loading/unloading. Minimal interaction and movement seem to be the point of these things. Which is great, if as a person, you have limited mobility or dexterity, but for the average person, why would you want something or someone doing everything for you if you are perfectly capable? Unless you have something else you need or want to be doing, and that is where it got interesting to me. Because it seems that people need tasks and something to do, without anything but boredom we usually find ourselves out of sorts and naturally gravitate towards self-destruction in some cases. Some are content perhaps to just sit with their thoughts on an ongoing basis, which may possibly be as inactive as they are. The majority however, would rather be doing something, with their time, energy and resources. But those three things have been commandeered and are not entirely within our control anymore.

They helped to make certain things affordable as it was cost effective to them, cut down time on the need to be in the home, more workers to join the workforce. It’s a win win for them. More industry, more taxes, more consumerism. But what of the lose lose for us? Less time with friends and family, less money because they increased the cost of things, so two incomes in a household didn’t make it any better for many. And more consumerism had led to a greedy throwaway attitude, which has unfortunately extended from the inanimate objects to people. They are now often viewed as expendable and replaceable, while constantly mentioning we will be obsolete. We were useful to build things for them that would be useful to replace us, and build better things for them.

Weirdly though, it seems we have allowed ourselves to become obsolete in this, by becoming so dependent on all the gadgets and devices they have installed into our lives, and finances. People start to forget how to do the manual things, things by hand, using your own initiative and strength.

And each of those devices have a cost, both to our sense of purpose as noted above and as purported by a certain henchman of the overlord, and there is also a cost in monetary terms. And we are seeing the finances laid bare of how much it really costs to live in their world of ‘convenience’, where that word is now being redefined too, because they are the ones who decide how much these cost, and they make vast amounts of money through it. They tied you in with meters for the electricity, hive systems now which require more batteries each year to maintain than I have ever known in my life, just to be able to adjust something from an app, which I don’t have or use. I can use my hands to turn a dial just as much as i can use them push a button, but turning the dial didn’t used to cost anything. The phones which require power and cost to run, the internet which require power and a contract, TV licenses, taxes, fees, bank charges, service subscriptions, etc.

Strip that all back, quite recently as well, and there was none of that, ‘convenience’ or cost – covered in my article There was a time before, people didn’t have each area of their daily life intruded upon in the grotesque fashion it is today, but the small implementations towards it were. And so has the social engineering to make it so. They made it so that they were your parent, caregiver and warden throughout your whole life, from ‘Cradle to Grave’ as the idea went in The Beveridge Report, as they say, all things start with good intentions. And whether it was with good intention or has been made to look that way is past the point, because this is where we are now, with the results in full swing. The idea was planted in people’s minds that they would be looked after from birth to death. It seems that post war posed a unique opportunity for a new social order, having brought everyone together under the banner of a ‘shared event’ (I will go into that further in another post).

So, I ask you, do all these devices and systems really seem that convenient after all? And what they propose for the future – further systems, log-ins, implants, chips, targets, restrictions and procedures, all dependant on electricity and you being part of the consumer conveyor belt that feeds their lives. And there is where we find we actually have a co-dependency happening, a symbiotic relationship we don’t really want, but they require. Almost like those parasitic insects that need to keep their host alive to be able to live and survive themselves. Which is why they maybe want us to think that we are so disposable, and expendable, constantly hearing news that we are ‘no longer required’ for the future, it can be done without us. Almost sounds like when someone is afraid you will leave, and they say you will never be happy without then, you’ll never cope without them, but inevitably, we always do. That does not mean we always will, but it should be noted and recognised when appropriate.

People are stronger than they know, and are more important than they realise. To minimise that existence is a cruelty in itself added to all the others heaped unnecesarily upon us. We create our own reality they say and currently are allowing that to be highjacked by the darkest type of vision. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if we don’t want their cold, sterile, monitored digital prison that appears to be coming, then we better get on it and start constructing our own future reality, right now.

The Face Of A Clown – A Masked Reality

This is a follow up piece to The face of a clown, in story town. Within an hour of posting it I was recommended to checkout a YouTube channel with a series of vids on clowns being of the Nephilim origin. Even more interesting as I was working on a piece called Myths, monsters and legends where I mention the Nephilim, no coincidences go unnoticed. It’s a rather intriguing subject it seems and is heavily tied in with masonic symbolism. Clowns, jesters and tricksters. Lots of things are relevant and without knowing it I have been piecing this together too over time.

The Nephilim were apparently Giants, with very pale skin and red hair. It seems lots of ancient cultures have a depiction of sorts to giants, and modern culture has scaled them down, but kept the red hair and pale face. I mention a number of them in my previous article, but hadn’t really considered their extra purpose and imagery. Even making more sense maybe why the panto dames are exaggerated versions of women, because they are ‘tricking’ the viewer. It’s not meant to be a passable version, its purposely overdone. They say nature warns you of danger with bright colours, maybe we do the same through the medium of warning with costumes and a certain look and reading the body language like we used to. Who can say for sure. A theme of black and white stripes appears to follow it too, and zig zag patterns, noted for being a theme in David Lynch productions. But they are also the lines in hypnotising imagery, so there may be something to it, I need to give that a bit more investigation.

But trying to entice children with bright colours, buffoonery and magic isn’t a new thing. We have funfairs, carnivals, theme parks and pantomimes, all with a frontage of fun, smile and excitement, but with an undertone of sinister, mystery and macabre. Or maybe that’s just me. Maybe other people just see the fun smiley bit. But throughout childhood we are given clues, and hints at what we should really be afraid of or looking out for.

Scooby Doo – it might seem a silly one to include, because I, like many others thoroughly enjoyed watching it for its inanity and fun element. But we all knew what was going on, usually something very nefarious with the appearance of it being something supernatural. Taught some of us to always look further than what is being shown. Other detective shows along the way after that probably helped, if you were inclined to watch them as I was.

Fairy Tales and stories – these are obvious and hopefully everyone who grew up reading them understood the undertone or message being given. And although in them something dastardly was always happening to the children and it focused on them, I couldn’t help but wonder of the adults in those tales. How it was that they came to be so weak, manipulated or corrupted to be so evil or ambivalent to those children. Usually, the heroic efforts of the children gave me hope at the end, that there could be some good and justice, even when surrounded by evil.

Just because it is bright and shiny and children appear to be playing along, they are sometimes sharper than we give them credit for. How did we all spot the weird stuff as kids? Many didn’t, but an awful lot did. And still do, when something isn’t quite right, there is a spidey sense that goes off and means you have to pay attention, and ask questions and find out why an internal sensor went off. And seeing people’s faces is very important usually to gauge someone’s intent or general mood, which you cannot do when they are performing. Putting on an act is called so for a reason, because it is acting to a point, but at what point does it stop being an act and the persona or alter ego crosses over, and becomes the dominant force or personality? Expression of self is important, but there should be a self-governing line, because while you should be allowed to express yourself, others should definitely be allowed to either not approve, or not pay any attention. Because I ask myself, how much of the recent weird crazes and societal issues or abnormal ideas we have, would have been minimised if they didn’t have a constant audience for it? The internet is the new mask of reality, we can hide behind it, reach out with it, get feedback, advice, distractions, and much more, in seconds, all day and night. And those who would be like the clowns of old, don’t always wear make-up, they don’t need to. So, while you should keep a sharp eye on those who would seek to deceive you with appearances, remember there are those who mingle as average folk, looking just like everyone else…

A Lost Generation

Anti-depressants, suicide rates and a very strange social and political landscape is laid out currently for young people (and people of all ages it would seem, but young children and teenagers in particular are getting a very stacked deck right now).

They are now saying all the drugs for depression and anxiety they have been prescribing for decades, probably don’t help. The world of psychiatry is being redefined like everything else, so no surprises there. But the fall out for real people is there. They have also now miraculously found a stunning correlation between prescribing of anti-psychotic drugs to teenagers, and a rather high rate of suicide amongst the very same age group. They are being drugged, brainwashed at school, bombarded by the media and now society is being dismantled before their eyes. We may have had to contend with the first three ourselves growing up, and kids of the 70’s will remember it definitely feeling like society was going down the pan, but what is happening now will and is affecting the current and future generations. Giving them a new range of mental illnesses, which I am sure will get named in time, the studies and ‘cures’ will follow. As is the way, although the trust in those systems is rather quickly being eroded, as they are proving themselves to be gluttonous charlatans.

And in that way, we are all the lost generation, having had something taken from us and replaced with a overwhelming societal view that others decided for us. They have named each of us too, Gen x, Gen Y and Gen Z. Given us slightly different drugs, adapted teachings slightly to separate us from the last, making sure there is limited cohesion and shared experiences. It might sound silly but a small thing from school made me start thinking it. I put a line through the number 7 when I write it, and I had no idea that others didn’t, until I left school. I then started hearing about the difference between O’level, and GSCE, and what seems like a small normal change to update things, struck me as a really good way to make sure people from one generation to the next, don’t have the same skills, or teachings, or knowledge. Then I linked it to history and other things they teach, knowing that if the teacher is misinformed, then the students will be too. A very simple, yet effective way to make sure certain things you would like in the general populous as knowledge, to be so. And by naming a generation and giving it a cut-off point, it also helps to imagine you are separated, stand-alone, unique. And having your own time is special, of music, fashion, social changes – but it is not unique, and should help to bind us a society, bringing fresh and new perspectives on things and developing in a natural way. Instead, it has been used to help divide us, with a few little nudges along the way.

The boomer generation, the latchkey kids, the computer generation – those were the names I think before we were abbreviated to merely a letter of the alphabet. Our generational experiences summarised into one letter, I guess to minimise its meaning, to make it smaller and easier to categorise. But what of the new kids on the block, what I’m sure they will dub ‘the covid generation’ or something ridiculous like that, to define the era they came into being, or found themselves growing up. Then will be neatly repackaged as Gen-C. I have speculated in my article What comes next about them being called Gen-E, hinting at Generation Experiment. But we all are, and have been for more than an age or two. And what they will be called is irrelevant, it’s just a continuation of the old system, but with a new facade, a new front and image and new group to work on and with. That’s why I say we are all the lost generation, because so many decades and centuries have already been lost to those who seek to ‘parent’ us and give the appearance of holding our hand through life. But they are actually keeping us prisoner from life. More so in the last few years, but if you look back to their insidious creep into every aspect of life over the decades, you can see this has been coming for a long time. It was a piece at a time gave thought to that, and where it is headed. .

So, does understanding and seeing what they are doing change it? Not on the face of it, but change isn’t always obvious and it doesn’t always have to be big to make a difference. It all starts somewhere…

Pubs, Inns and Taverns

It’s a pressing issue right now, and the tip of the iceberg for the decimation that seems to be in play. But lots of people seem to miss the point of how important pubs are and have been, especially in helping to shape our notorious ‘island mentality’. They have a rich, colourful history and have played an important role. But they are also social places, where if you put the consumption of alcohol to one side, has many benefits to the wider community. Of course, they have played their own part in nefarious activities in the past, and been haunts of all sorts of types, but on the whole they have been known as a place for the normal folk to enjoy each other’s company, food, a drink and a laugh. And information, and solace, and respite, and so much more.

But times they are a changin’. And what of the pub and the old ways that are on their way out by force, some people say they are outdated and there’s no need for them anymore anyway. People drink too much, it’s too expensive and doesn’t pose any continued social benefit. That it is clinging on to a bygone era and just because we always have, doesn’t mean we always should. And I agree with that, but not entirely on this one. Of course, it’s ridiculous that energy companies can be allowed to just hike their prices by 400%, and it shouldn’t be so, that people are forced out and the forced death of an industry, jobs, communities and more. Because it won’t just stop at pubs, it’s shops, bakeries, gyms, restaurants, care homes, hospitals etc. It’s crippling what they are doing and very real lives and livelihoods are going to be lost and under threat while they play their ‘virtual green game’. Because they do not do as they say, in fact the complete opposite. So, while you are meant to cut back, spend every penny of savings you have (and get in debt if you haven’t got any), sit in the dark and think of better times. They are not cutting back though, are spending others money like it is water and are lighting their own homes and lives at our expense. I suspect it makes others feel nauseous too just thinking about and seeing what they are doing.

But that is where we are being rendered mute, and helpless. Like you are in a big tub, and it keeps being filled up with water by someone. You say you’re going to drown, they just keep putting more in and shrugging at you. They are slowly pulling up the ladder at the same time, expecting you to just tread water until you run out of energy, then drown. It’s a set up, and one you aren’t meant to navigate successfully or survive intact. That is the point. Once you realise that, their choices and decisions make more sense, and you realise they need to be ignored, like the inane rantings of a madman should be.

Give thought to what jobs and industries there will be once the highstreet, towns and communities are changed even further beyond recognition. While they take away normal hardworking jobs, they are stealthily replacing them with tech jobs, monitoring jobs, enforcer jobs, security jobs etc. That’s how you split society further, by offering ‘new jobs’ to replace, and survival instinct works in different ways for different people. There will be plenty who decide those jobs are worth it so they can feed themselves and their family. Because most of the time, that’s the starting point for people, food, shelter, clothing. If you can get people at that stage, make them insecure and worried, you’ve mostly got them. Further in, thinking is not as malleable.

So, it may seem like just a pub, or just a bakery, or a library, or a gym, or a cafe, but they aren’t. They are a lifeline and part of the community at large and necessary. But when they are stripped back, minimised and corporatized, something quite soulless seems to creep in and is trying to take over that last pocket of freedom and trade. All of it.
