It’s become obvious for many now in society, that helping people and creating a decent working society is no longer on the cards. If indeed it ever was, instead it appears we had a neat veil of respectability placed over the ‘systems of society’ so that we didn’t see their darker method and motive. Until a power move was played which has revealed much of it and exposed a very real and sinister enterprise.

It was touched upon in my article Robbin in the Hood

“Because once you start profiting from someone’s misery, what incentive would there be to try and end said misery, if profit is your main objective?”

And from a slightly different angle in It All Starts To Unravel,

“Misery is a monitored man; I will tell you that now. They monitor you in prison, they put you in isolation in prison, and they have a lack of privacy in prison for a reason – because it is a punishment.”

And of course, we have noticed how there seems to be a push to monitor everyone and their daily transactions of life, which of course, makes money for someone somewhere. But it isn’t just about money, because that’s just the front of it, it’s all wrapped up in time, which itself is a construct, but for this it’s real, just as their money is. And it’s a two-fold problem really, firstly we have to use our time to make money in various ways, and then use that money to buy things, which then occupy our time. And when it comes to entertainment, it’s a perfect circle. Your time makes money, you buy the ticket, book, music, DVD, etc, and then you spend your time indulging in it. Like it says ‘Spend Your Time’ and what else do we spend? Yes, money.

These days though, we are being railroaded to pay for our own enslavement, with time and money. With someone else making profits from that misery, which they then reinvest into keeping the misery going and expanding it. Because you know, more profits need more struggle, more hardship, more money and more time from the people who facilitate it. The public. Previously it appeared to be the prison system that was the most enterprising of this idea, to encourage people down a certain path in life, so you inevitably end up in their ‘mousetrap’ and cycle of incentives and punishments. A special project running within the human ‘Beautiful Mice‘ project that calls itself society. An expansion is on the cards though, where the prison gets larger, becomes a mixture of maximum security and open, decides everyone is a criminal for something, and then you all get lumped in together. Of course, that wouldn’t work well in a real prison, so isn’t going well in a larger, less organised and highly populated setting, although it seems that is the point. To force a situation where people end up actually begging for further systems and monitoring, to ‘keep them safe’ from the issues created by the people who will then offer you digital sanctuary.

But misery is a rather large industry, like the beauty industry, think how much that has reaped over the decades, not just selling products but as with much, they need to sell you an idea first. Of standards, of what they consider ugly and beautiful, people, marketing campaigns and offers, changing the way people think towards things and themselves. People don’t seem to have noticed that misery has also become an industry, and actually overshadows all others now in my view, because it was allowed to fester and run alongside everything else. Alcoholics make money for the system by consuming, and then needing ‘care’ to recover, same with drugs – although they also make money for the system in a number of ways by adding to crime as well, mental health issues, general health issues and disorders, and so on. My article What Are We Worth? has already noted the following –

“A healthy person just going about their lives appears to make very little money for ‘the corporation’ as it goes. It would appear that the vast amounts of money they make from us is carefully engineered to be that way, by means of shopping and consumerism, food and pharmaceuticals, addictions and interests.”

Understanding that they want illness, they want crime, they want people to be confused, addicted, lost and stressed and unable to find which way is up, because it gives them an easy way to pretend to be there to help. Wanting to be there to offer comfort and support, but in fact they are grooming you to accept their next dose of harm which will be administered by someone else so you don’t associate it with them. And it will be one of your own kind somewhere down the line, so you don’t worry or notice the real intent and motive behind it. Like if someone hired some thugs to kick the shit out of you and then turns up to be shocked and offer you comfort, getting an extra kick out of seeing the harm they have caused first hand, and even more so as they know the ‘victim’ doesn’t know it was them. But people have been herded into these systems for decades now, and each one seems to lead neatly back to government contracts and control, taxpayer money being used to create more problems and enslavement, more monitoring and digital ID being held over people’s heads, like the sword of Damocles precariously dangling above us all.

But make no mistake, each of these system we have now create an industry of misery covering all quarters of society, which then creates lots of money and control for others. And has been like it in various forms for hundreds of years now, check out my article A Working Strategy to see how it has developed over the centuries. From servitude, to employment contracts at mop fairs, to wars, prisons, work houses, orphanages, schools and being Institutionalised in various ways to fit the ‘need of the corporation’ at the time. It was always pushed as though society developed to have those things, but when I give them real thought, none of them would have been for the good for society, they were to create a fearful, worried and stressed population, fearful of crime, war, financial collapse etc. Changing the mentality and stability of areas, people’s and ideas. Another article ties in here, Leading to a State of Mind, And Fear, speculating on the methods you might use to create a certain mindset, where it hadn’t quite materialised yet in a physical sense, pushing it along somewhat. Because to make money out of that misery, first you have create it…

This is a follow-up article to The Death of the High Street, because that was written in 2019, before a crippling blow was dealt, and as I pointed out in that article, it felt more like the suicide of the high street rather than just the death of. But I figure now, it was helped along to be that way. Businesses have been going on about rates, rents and other things that councils and governments imposed on them, a slow drip of licenses, regulations and rules. Now we see the farmers making noise, and various areas of society have over the years, tried to sound some kind of alarm but it would have always been overwritten, made about pay, or simply dismissed.

The high street though used to be an integral part of communities, the hub of an area, of trade and economy. Albeit a structed one that previously was created and imposed on people, but with at least it seemed, a small semblance of people in mind and their needs. Now those are firmly ignored in place of a corporate model for all areas. High streets becoming a long line of corporate chains, making them beholden to a parent company, and the other shops that have been allowed to take hold, appear to be front businesses. Where the footfall doesn’t quite appear to be enough to sustain such a premises, and they were always there, just different products on show.

But it seems people weren’t really prepared mentally for the shift that occurred, when most of the businesses of this country were told to close their doors. Shops, offices, schools and all the other trades where people need to work to earn money to survive. A crafty move when you look at it as a bold strategy to change the face of society and community in one foul swoop. Re-organising how people work, disrupting and dictating how and if they can travel, deciding if you were allowed to see loved ones or not, even on their deathbed. Because of course, no-one could overlook the fact that the hospitals also chose to close and, in some cases, actually barricaded their premises. Sounds unheard of in a ‘health crises’, but makes sense when you look at the bigger picture.

And the bigger picture for this angle, is that clearly they don’t want self-sustaining towns and cities where the people just get on and get by, not having to check in every five minutes, and taking control of their own communities and areas. The 15-minute corporate makeover being pushed in all areas of the globe should be of great concern to people, because what they are doing is destroying what we have and what worked perfectly well. To then rebrand, repackage and repurpose it for their benefit, and try and offer it as a better and brighter solution. Just as they did when they convinced people before they needed to have councils, schools, taxes and people to tell you what to do. To outsource responsibility and your life to them, making people dependent on those ‘services’, changing the way people think towards care, education, health and generally towards life. Outsourcing all of those things along the way, and now paying dearly for it it would seem in more than just monetary terms…

To break down your mentality, personality and identity as well as your natural state of being. I have already given thought to the general conditioning via the school system in Institutionalised, and many have noticed it as a central point of ‘information’ for many throughout their childhoods. Making sure we are all ‘reading from the same page’ and all that.

But when thinking of the aspect of attention spans, and how I felt that children shouldn’t be stuck in a building all day surrounded by people they essentially aren’t familiar with on a personal level, I realised something else. That rather than trying to increase attention spans at all, it seemed more of a disruptor of them. This is mostly from a secondary school point of view, and was given thought again as I mulled over how ADHD came to be. Wondering again if it’s environmental, medical, or psychological based on the other options. And I thought of how hard it was to concentrate at school, and then mentally ran through what it was that created a disturbance.

The weekly planner. The list of all the classes, all the subjects and time slots, gearing you up for your week ahead, filling your head with all that had been scheduled for you, for you to adhere to and be ‘subjected’ to. Now, it may well be that some people are the type to be heavily distracted by thoughts of all the things you are going to do, and there are those who prefer to think about what they are doing, or both. But it’s a one size fits all program, where if you don’t fit, they attempt to ‘shave off the edges’ to make it so. Square peg and round hole springs to mind. But the point being, many people aren’t good at organising, or planning ahead or wanting to even think about the next day let alone next week, deadlines, exams, or just continuous structure someone else decided.

And is it just possible, that by forcing people to have one-hour lessons (ish), constantly chopping and changing in one day, never being able to get into anything properly, different teachers, subjects, ideas and always on the clock, this has a lasting effect. Watching and waiting for your allotted break time, lesson time, lunchtime, home time. Lots of time and the concept of it being used to control people and their mindsets. Never able to get into a subject, because it’s time to move on, cutting that thought process dead in the water, expecting you to just pick it up again when they say so. Switching to the next potentially complex subject, but after moving you to another room, mingling with people and being distracted even further by a hint of life, then it’s quashed again so you can ‘learn’. But it seems that what we were to be learning, was in fact to have a short attention span, and to be able to work to schedules and deadlines, to organise ourselves for that lifetime of employment, and of course to increase our capacity for multiple subjects of thought at once. Perhaps to prime us for the onslaught of propaganda and technology that was come, making sure we are ‘trained’ for maximum input.

Or it was simply a consequence of that environment, my article A Consequence, or a Cause? would be relevant here. Because I do wonder how much of our behaviour as individuals and in a group, is natural, conditioned or as a side-effect of what we are subjected to as a routine within what they have called society. And as we are forced to spend many, many years of our lives in the system, one can’t but help to realise it has an effect, whether it be seen as a good one or bad one is down to the individual. Because aside from the conditioning purpose they are there for, it seems they have a side game running, of an odd set up where psychological issues are created, observed and medicated. And now we have the schools changing it up a gear, to saturate and groom the new generations with confusion and fear while the societal landscape is being re-arranged around us all. As it seems has happened before…

It seems decisions for children and young people are being used as a strange weapon at the moment. And one that appears to prey on their naivety and exploit their tendencies at certain ages, because they are the ones being responsible over them. I’m not entirely sure some people give real thought to how the mind works at different ages, what it can cope with, assimilate, comprehend or quantify. It’s creeping into other areas as well as them being able to determine which side of the fence they would like to be ‘when they grow up’, ironically with some of the things being offered to them, they will never ‘grow up’ properly. Being stunted and emotionally restricted (which can happen in ordinary settings too), on top of the psychological difficulties you can endure just simply by being alive and trying to place yourself in society and where you fit in the universe.

And things you think you ‘choose’ while young, with very limited experience and understanding, can often come back to bite you, haunt you, or go onto to be a big part of who you then became. As an adult I like to have information before making a decision, weighing up the options and consequences and thinking through the impact on myself and others. I did not have that perspective as a child, and have already done a piece on Decisions, from my own personal viewpoint of them and the impact of important ones placed upon a mind that isn’t really capable of making the best one.

Because you don’t what’s best for you at a very young age, but you often find yourself wanting to grow up quicker, be treated like an adult and qualify for all those things that seem so out of reach. Time is also a different feeling when very young, it really did feel as if it would take forever to get older and because you have no real context of responsibility surrounding these wants and ideas, what you want becomes the focus. Not how will this affect me, should I do it etc. Think of the funfair and being too short to go on a ride, you don’t agree with it and some people may get emotional or angry at being excluded from it. But if someone suddenly said, ‘hey, no problem, get on’, would you wait? Would you wonder about if it goes wrong? Would you question why they had those rules in the first place and make an informed decision? No, you wouldn’t, you jump at the chance and go for it. And sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn’t. I’m sure we all have done a few stupid things where we look back and think what was I doing? Or, how did I survive with that attitude and behaviour?

But the reason adults make these decisions for children which I thought was well known, is because I do believe that at certain ages, children do not possess the same reasoning skills. As is known by others as well, there are things you develop with age, experience and perspective. Well, not everyone but mostly. It seems some kids today are being fast-tracked into the adult system without having the physical or emotional capacity to deal with it. However, that was not always a failsafe idea to have adults solely in charge, as mentioned above, not all adults develop the necessary capacity themselves sometimes, and then find themselves in the decision-making role. With a mix of results and consequences, some far worse than others. And now we have ‘the state’ also now inserting themselves into life decisions, being the influencer and facilitator of them here and there. So, now there is a bunch of people or committees making decisions for people they don’t know and have never met. Or are allowing them to be made by people who are ill equipped to understand or think things through. Like I’ve said before, these are some strange old times…
