Don’t Bite the Hand that Feeds You

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

It shouldn’t really take much explanation, a saying that really does get it’s meaning across. Yet, many don’t actually seem to understand the more sinister implications of it, and now things have changed a bit in society, it would seem prudent to examine who it is that is ‘feeding’ you, what it is they are feeding you, and whether it might actually be the time to bite that hand.

Because no-one ever adds the context about what that hand is doing, other than feeding you and that you should be grateful. And in the right setting, yes, you should be grateful, but in the wrong setting, do not be gaslit into thinking you need to keep being fed. Because what if you were being fed poison or being force fed? Well, in that situation I would think it would be necessary to bite the hand that feeds you. But it is also important to note, the underlying context of that saying, as it isn’t just as simple as be grateful and don’t take the piss. It’s an implied exchange between the two parties, that if they are being fed, they should not even look up, let alone bite, even if they do work out they are being fed poison.

No cause for complaint if you are benefitting kind of thing, but what is the benefit of being fed? Ah, yes, to stay alive. So, if someone else has all the food, or access to it, or all the land you are able to grow it on, and you want to live, then you learn not to bite the hand that feeds you. Even if that hand is like the Grim Reaper, reaching down to throw a few crumbs for the mortals, you become dependent on it, unable to provide your own food after a time, and then being forever beholden to that hand. And it knows it.

Now, let us say that the ‘food’ in this analogy is actually money – and you are the one who actually start with the food, being able to sort yourself out, grow it yourself and have no need of a ‘feeder’ to do that for you. But someone (the government), then comes and takes some or all of your food and your land, and locks it away, and gives it back to you in small crumbs and pieces, when they decide when they want to, at a price they get to determine. And shares it around to everyone else while you go without, and you are expected to sit at the dinner table, having provided the nourishment but have to wait until the end after everyone else has had their piece. Maybe there will be a few crumbs left after. And if you happen to say anything or notice? Enter the gaslighting to put that right in mind. Don’t be selfish, you need to share, you wouldn’t deny others, would you? Or, wait until you are accused of being racist, or antisemitic perhaps, to then sit back down and quietly just go hungry.

Because it seems rather obvious now, that people being able to be self-sufficient is the last thing that hand wants, because after it gets bitten, it is no longer required and has no purpose. You don’t then shake that hand and start a new relationship, where it can find something else to feed you with. Just like old fashioned groomers with their offers of sweets and presents, these ones use benefits and cash incentives to feed you with. Hoping you never notice you are being groomed to take part in the sinister trade of society we have in place, where we exchange our time for money, and then trade money for food, while they take more money and then charge us extra for the ‘luxury’ of being able to live what we would call an uninterrupted normal life. And now it’s being elevated to a new level, where the people who do literally feed the masses, farmers, are having their hands chopped off, so they can’t feed us. Choked and restricted with policies, targets and stats, while the ones who start those ideals, have their back-up areas, farmland, islands and their own plantations on the go. Quite neatly away from being accessible to the average person, while they lead us ever further into the roadmap of our 15-minute smart towns and cities they would like us all to part of, in your zone, eating your lab grown ‘food’, being a good little guinea pig, just like it seems, we always have…

A Pot of Endless Resources

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

It seems there was another lie along with the one that Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees, when they said there also wasn’t an endless pot of money. Because although we get told there isn’t one, it would appear the opposite is true. Another FOI request to a local council reports that it spent over £28k on driving lessons for new arrivals, which is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the spending spree that is occurring, at home and abroad. Given by way of councils and government grants and contracts, they are dishing out free housing, food, technology, travel, theatre, driving, taxis, translators, education, dentist, healthcare and so on. It’s absolutely staggering. And at the same time as people who have paid into the system for a lifetime or two, are being told to move along, get to the back, and in some cases, being ignored altogether while they are Tightening the Screw on everyone else. It’s suspicious, and has been noticed. The natives are no longer a profitable commodity it would seem, so are there to be bled dry, while the new ‘locals’ get their foot under the table, facilitated by those in charge’ Always talking about what they will do, but never actually doing anything, and that too has been noticed.

So, how is it that there is now a huge, endless money pot, or rather money pit. Because they are chucking more and more into it, while taking more and more from people to do so. Taking more taxes, stealing from the future as well as the present, to pay for this strange turn of events. It’s almost as if they have been given the keys to everyone’s piggy bank, and have blown the lot in a day, and now they are working on separating you from what else you have. Greed and lack of consequence has created quite the ugly monster. Where the ones who are apparently in charge of all that money and all those decisions, have quite simply, lost the plot. Playing to a different tune than what one would expect in times such as this, which is why many question who is actually pulling the strings. And rightly so, because what we hear and what we see doesn’t match up at all. They say one thing, and do another, which to be fair, is quite in line with what politicians do. We are used to them saying what they need to get to the finish line, then all seems forgotten thereafter and they are on a new mission of staying put. But as we are reaching a very delicate stage in the game they are playing with people’s lives; it needs to be addressed that they are the problem.

Each area of finance and industry is being bankrupted and corrupted, after years of being tied in through schemes and incentives, subsidies and grants, many companies are having the rug pulled out from under them, unable to survive without those government handouts. As was meant to happen. Same with everything else they appear to give you, it’s to get you into the system, to keep you in the system and ultimately means then that you can’t survive without the system. No Going Back discussed that in more detail.

But just handing over vast quantities of money, constantly, is clearly no longer working as it has become like free-flowing water to them. Meaning nothing, and treated as such. But they want people to carry the worry and burden of paying more, getting bogged down by the mire that is the government. It seems though that if they want to have everyone playing along with the corporate theme, then that should be the way to hold them to account for things. Because if we are playing that game, then there should be rules and contracts for services that we ourselves should be operating under as agreed upon by ourselves. As apparently our strawman identity is what is used by them to dictate our lives and discussed in The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back. It would seem reasonable that we then understand there are two separate identities, our corporate one, and our living one. And just as they put things in place to decide we should pay this tax, and pay that fine, and pay that toll that they made up, why can’t we do the same? When they screw up or take more than is reasonable, invoicing them for your time for loss of earnings, holding them to account for mistakes and cancelling services if they are no longer up to standard. Because if we all sat down and worked out an actual monetary rate for each minute of our time and realised just how valuable it is. And then worked out how much of it has been taken from us in forced attendance for things, taking us away from real life experience and your family, we would be shocked and definitely be looking for compensation. Spend your time wisely, because otherwise someone else will try and use it to make them money…

The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

An obvious saying for those who know it, and if you don’t, it shouldn’t take too much thought. An overloading leading to a collapse. But it was more the material used in that saying that caught my attention, as well as the overall intention.

The Wicker Man (1973) – portrayed as the pagan ritual to burn the outsider in an all very cultish way. But, also seems very much to represent the shunning of modern times and legal entities, with a person of that ‘system’ making their own way to the island, looking with eyes made for something else. And missing what was right in front of his face. And that he, with all his legal fiction and created persona around that, found himself becoming the main part of the burning and sacrifice.

The Scarecrow – originating back as far as 3,000 BC they say, in Egypt. Obviously, we know what they are for, the name is a giveaway. But what is it? It is a fake man, a pretend man, the image of a man.

Strawman – a strange term and one that comes up now and again. “In the context of legal theory, a “strawman entity” refers to the idea that a person has two personas: a physical, living person and a separate legal entity (the “strawman”) that is created upon birth and is subject to statutory law”. Seems quite straightforward, and also seems straightforward that once people understand how it all works, that strawman entity that has been created on your behalf, doesn’t quite seem as tangible as it once did. Because it is through that legal system you are funnelled, repeatedly being told you are subject to the rule of law, you are a subject of the realm, you will be subjected to punishment if you stray from your allocated path and set of rules.

“Straw Man Fallacy: It’s important to note that the term “strawman” can also refer to a straw man argument, which is a fallacy where someone misrepresents an opponent’s position to make it easier to attack or refute.”

The Wizard of Oz – Lion of nature, to the strawman of legal fiction, to the robot of tin – a progression of man perhaps. Of where it was intended to go, starting off as a child, turning into a roaring lion, slowly worn down into a cowardly lion. Changing then into that legal fiction, the scarecrow made of straw, with rules, fears and mortality chasing him down with every step. Moving finally into the robotic phase, with no heart and a mechanical vulnerability caused by weather conditions.

And just as the article title points out, there is a capacity to which one can carry the straw weight put upon it. Stuffed with more straw than we could possibly stomach, with more lined up to keep us quiet and compliant, constructing our wicker man around us. And perhaps this is where Being Real ties in, with Pinocchio being a wooden version of the same thing, and in a quest to be ‘real’ end up being led further astray and down a dark path. Where although there appears to be a light at the end of tunnel, as you take a closer look, you see it’s a rather large bonfire they have set up to see that you go ‘up in flames’ on your way through. But really, maybe that’s just a mental baptism of fire that is necessary, to let the fictional rules of humans burn away and turn to ash, clearing and cleansing so that something else can have it’s time…

Just Pretend or a Con?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

“It’s just a bit of fun, isn’t it? Playing make-believe and pretending to be someone else. With costumes, scenery, make-up and adopting a different persona, people are convinced of what they see. Suspending reality for a moment or a short time to be immersed in the fakery, your own brain playing along and helping to create and sustain the illusion.”

Taken from my article Deceivers, Or Just Entertainment?, which looked at it more from the audience point of view, of how we play our role willingly for the most part. Although as I thought that, I remembered two film references of forced viewing being part of a re-conditioning ritual. A Clockwork Orange and Addams Family Values. Even more so for the second one, as it was Disney films Wednesday was made to watch, to friendly her up and make her get into the ‘spirit of things’.

But for this, I have been wondering on the type of person and mentality that wants and likes to pretend to be something else. We used to call them con artists and charlatans I thought, ones who set out to deliberately convince you of something for their own personal gain, and usually a loss to you. And for this exchange, they get attention and adulation as well as apparently lots of money. And you lose your time, and sometimes your own aspirations and wants, as you are so focused on idolising something that doesn’t really exist. In life and business, there is much to look out for, but as we are an opportunistic species, I understand how it happens, and as it has in some capacity served us well, I can’t say it is entirely a bad thing. What does seem to have become a bad thing however, is where it is now the prevailing attitude in many, to trick and deceive as a matter of course, in many industries. Where they are so used to pretending to be the authority on things, or matters of health or justice, on education or knowledge, that it’s almost as if they themselves have forgotten it’s a ruse. And shocked they are when it is pointed out to them, because they ended up believing their own bullshit I guess, with many playing along to make it so, like in the film A Beautiful Mind.

Like in the circus though, when you have the performing animals and people, they aren’t always there in an entirely voluntary capacity. And from some of the things you notice in the celebrity world that gets portrayed in the media, occasionally there is a moment here and there, where it all slips. The glitz and glamour suddenly lose their sparkle and you see a glimpse of a circus monkey, being wheeled out on their trike, to wow the audience and keep those tickets selling and then take bow. Because if someone was talented enough to enthral the masses as they say, then someone else might just realise what an advantage that may pose. Being wholeheartedly convincing when putting on an act, a play, a ruse to deceive the viewers instinct and senses, maybe that’s why they call laws ‘acts’ as well, because it is all part of the bigger stage show and set, and one we allow ourselves to be conned by…
