I got to thinking about words again, and their meaning and usage, often being borrowed and adapted for other words or meanings, as we are told. This one may be obvious to many, but even I didn’t see it for ages. And it was thinking about days of the week, and wondering about the word week, to signify a five-day consecutive stretch ending in the all coveted ‘weekend’.
In my thought process, I likened it to the following, Week = weak, throughout those five days they drain you all week, using and taking your energy and time, and make you weak. Then we are taught to look forward to the weekend (or holidays), which funnily enough we have a saying for, to kind of show that we know we have been worn down, we say you need time off to ‘recharge your batteries’. Seems obvious now, doesn’t it? But for day six and seven of the allotted time frame, it’s the ‘weak-end’. The film The Matrix makes a point of saying we are batteries, used to power their machine and whole system. But unlike the rows and rows of pods plugged into a central point, sleeping and generating power, maybe there are different levels of it. Almost crossing into a Brave New World kind of scale. With some being low grade energy, therefore confined to the ‘factory’ pods. The ones walking around and ‘living’ generate a good amount, and there are others, who can utilise and create the vast amounts of energy generated through thought alone. With them wanting to have a 6g network powered by people being the antenna, it seems that could be more of a possibility that I had first considered. And I will admit, it all sounds rather unlikely, or at least it used to. And potentially all the things they talk of are just pie in the sky, and hopeful on their part, but there is also the possibility that it isn’t, and these things that sound crazy of the face of it, often don’t after you have put it in perspective. They do now talk of growing humans in pods too, taking women out of the whole reproduction cycle mostly, although that isn’t a surprise to me, I wondered how long before they took control of that process, seems like an awfully important power for someone to have. To create and give life, it really is quite something.
But as with everything, they never quite do what they say, and there is always an awful lot they aren’t telling you. I will refer you to the film The Island if you haven’t seen it, because it really does tie into this. Because while they tell you it is for just growing babies, to then be ‘born’ and put into society – what if some aren’t. What if they decide to have two factories, but one underground that you can’t see, where they grow them, allow them to be born, and then just put them straight into slavery, or use them for testing, or keep them in pods forever. Now, you may think that seems a bit dramatic and my imagination has run away with itself after watching too many films, and believe me, I wish it were that. But I will refer to my short article/YouTube vid which explains it in 60 seconds – A very disturbing idea, because once you know what they casually discussed all those years ago, it really does change your perspective, or at least should in my opinion.
With all the changes recently, it seems very much that everything we do as people is being quantified by usage, energy and your overall ‘footprint’ they would have you believe you are creating and leaving behind on the world. For the future generations they would have you believe that will be your legacy. But instead of being the problem for wanting a normal life, our problem is that we keep following the system that drains us of our energy. Having already been moulded into what they wanted; they now want something else. Net-zero. The opposite of the industrial revolution I guess, where we stop using innovation and logic, they have made their fortunes doing that. Now it’s time to make sure no-one else can, and that industry must stop altogether. Replaced with a fanciful idea and painfully weak ethos and completely lacking common sense and practicality. To us anyway, maybe not to them. Because if you wanted to scale everything back and treat people as the commodity you see them as, it seems a good place to start…
The hotels and the growing issue of mass haphazard immigration. I have already covered this in Hotel California, or Hotel Strategy? And in On the ground. But as we keep seeing the numbers increase, and the financial resources being thrown at it, people can’t help but wonder what the actual fuck is going on. I speculated further in And the purpose is? covering the idea that it was to disrupt tourism and create a destabilising force within communities. And that does seem to be the case, so not sure it’s really speculation, more an observation at this point.
The reports from various European countries keep filtering through as well of violent gang crime and sexual assaults, towards men and women. Machete attacks, some murders and various other things highlighting the clash of mentalities, cultures, education and the often shocking and grisly outcome of this. But what some people question is they why of all of it. And rightly so, because even if the typical age range and attitude of the boaters wasn’t that of organised crime and with nefarious intentions, there would be still be the question of why exactly. After years of strict borders, passport control, immigration procedures and ‘protecting our borders’ as it was called back in the day with the apparent land army we had, it seems not a thing anymore. In fact, our own Navy assist them from France in a rather civilised manner. Funny really, makes me think about previous ‘wars’ we are told about when they invaded, or crossed a massive ocean to take a country. Did they? Or were they invited and shipped over with agreement to put them in place as paid mercenaries, to be activated when ready to make it look like it was a genuine skirmish, or that society just collapsed from within all by itself. The fall of Rome and all the other empires they mention, at the height of their opulence and greed, it all just falls in on itself, apparently.
Or, could it be, that they all reach the point of enough people being educated enough to really see the scale of the corruption, or that it is so large it simple cannot be hidden. And thereafter it starts to go horribly wrong, so it becomes a desperate race against time to take the riches, leave the people in the gutter, and rewrite history again to show that you didn’t lose, or ruin everything, but it was ‘the people’, it was the weather, it was them over there. Anything but admitting that it was an orchestrated and co-ordinated takedown of certain peoples, histories, countries, societies, families and ultimately a takeover of power.
And we are witnessing something at the moment, that appears to be a power move. Where the ‘elected’ officials (and not even elected anymore, just placed), start to completely ignore the people are apparently there to serve, and continue on their power mission. Where they abuse your trust, ignore your reasoning, take your money and then act surprised that you will call them out on it. Many people are questioning what their goal or plan actually is, who is it that authorised the release of unlimited funds for anyone and everyone from overseas to rock up and be housed, indefinitely? Who really has the pot of money and controls the purse strings on that one? I know they won’t tell us, and we will all continue to be treated like fools, who are looked on as silly for even asking the question and thinking of the financial cost, as well as the economic and psychological one on everyone being affected by it. Locals and new arrivals. They are being used to aggravate and inflame the locals, with a promise of something I’m sure, while everyone else just gets thrown to the curb. Like them saying “No we don’t have the financial resources we took from you over the years to keep on your behalf for you, because we are now busy giving it so someone else”. Honestly, if you worked a whole week, or month, or even day, and went to get your wages, and your employer said “Oh, you won’t be getting any money today, I decided to give them to that person over there who just turned up…”. We’d like to think that person might have something to say about that, or perhaps wouldn’t bother turning up to work every day thereafter. Or if you had saving put to one side, and you went to the bank to get them, or some of them, and the bank says “Sorry, you no longer have any savings, we decided that family over there needed somewhere to live, so we gave it to them, even though they haven’t worked, or saved any money”. I think people might suddenly stop putting their money into the hands of people who treat it like that. Or not, it’s hard to say now what people would put up with, they have been worn down quite successfully over the decades and especially the last few years, and it shows.
So, is it just incompetence we see around us, as some would like to suggest or believe. Or is it in fact a strategy, to demolish the systems that are, to replace them with the systems they want in place. To make it seems as though the current system is so old and outdated, it can’t possibly hold up to ‘modern living’, despite the fact that it has facilitated us getting here quite well. But where is here anyway? At a point on a long road that someone else put you on, to a destination they have decided, with tolls and bridges along the way you must pay for, or work through, or never make it across. They don’t want you veering from that road, don’t want you building your own bridges, or finding a better way without them. Suddenly there are fences, blockades, walls and checkpoints to go through, just for living your life. Like an odd game of snakes and ladders crossed with a rat’s maze, but instead of just a blank maze, imagine shops, and procedures, and exams that the rat has to go through before it is allowed to enter the next corridor. So they can ‘grade it’ and ‘assess it’ to decide which corridors and area it will be allowed to try and access next for its ‘reward or punishment’, whether it gets a snake, or a ladder…
There are two types, but really it’s the same after giving it thought, although one is physical, and one is mental.
Firstly, the physical. Farming and ownership of animals, giving them a branding, a deep mark to show who owns you, or a tag to show and identify that ownership. Also known within slavery of people, or in the punishment of criminals.
Now apply that in a psychological sense to marketing. How companies want you as ‘their customer’, branding their imagery and words into your mind through marketing campaigns and all that go with them. Adverts, jingles, merchandise, timing and strategy. All carefully prepared and thought out, to try and get you for life. And if you wear their brand, you tag yourself, and help them to further their campaign, for free.
It’s not enough to just have someone remember your product or service, they want you to buy it. They want a customer, need you to consume to be a productive customer. So, in my mind they need to ‘brand’ it into your subconscious.
Tattoos are also a type of brand I guess, but where it would appear most people do it to themselves. There are tribes who do it, and we have used tattoos to ‘identify’ prisoners and people held captive, but in society, as most of you will know, tattoos really took a foothold over the previous decades. Now not just reserved to single out people who were in the Navy or prison, they have gone mainstream. In a bid to self-identify and create our own brands of ourselves, yet all the while still following the mood of society, and in a strange way, the irony of it didn’t escape me at the time. Just as noted in The first fad, these things never happen naturally, and while we all clamoured to be an individual, we all lined up for a social branding. Well, not everyone, but enough, and it carries on. Creating industry and artistry, it’s now pretty much seen as normal.
But with that also came something else, because for the most part, tattoos are not always on show, so although someone might feel it’s part of their identity, they can’t make it obvious unless they are on show. Hence why some people have them in hideable places, so that people don’t get to label and judge as you walk by. Because people do, and I can’t say that is entirely wrong, we need to be able to judge and assess our situations and people we mingle with or are in proximity to. That’s not to say you should treat them any different based on those thoughts, but we do judge people and situations on appearances, as I believe we should, so they are quite important. Not to ‘fit in’ or to show malice towards anyone, but to know where you stand. As they say, nature will make toxic and poisonous things colourful, or with a certain sign that you should stay away. We have those signs too, not always as obvious, but occasionally they very much are.
And recently we have seen high-profile fashion companies and even social media companies that are positively delighted to see you wear their brands, and it is an affiliation, and not always a good one it turns out. Not just about socialising, fashion and clothing after all it seems, it is also a form of branding where you make a very big show of your allegiance. And of the company being able to show its numbers or a number of followers to determine how great they are. Because while it is said there is a system of ‘you will own nothing coming’, it seems that while they want to take away a system of ownership for materials things for people, they require a sense of ownership themselves, but over you. By taking away peoples own identity and ‘re-branding’ it, gets you into the fold, into the mentality set for you. Because if you don’t even know who you are, why would you fight to save it? What would you be fighting for? Being able to own your own car and home and things, isn’t the crux of the issue. Those are your possessions, you possess them, you own them. Now apply that to yourself, you are the item that they fight for, while you fight for freedom to have things. They put rules in place so that they will possess you, they will own you and your thoughts. Sounds far-fetched, doesn’t it? I know it does, but not so much if you hear what they say.
Chips in your brain so they can ‘know your thoughts’, not fantasy or science-fiction, freely discussed. That’s quite a step further from you won’t be allowed to drive isn’t it? The difference between being grounded or your parent insists that they follow you everywhere, you must tell them what you think, they will control your bank account, your choices and restrict your movement to where they decide. For your whole life. You wouldn’t have it would you? You would think they had gone mad with some kind of power delusion, gaining a strange ‘God complex’ as they call it. Thinking they ‘own’ you. And that is where we are told to not put up with that, from parents, friends, partners, bosses, nobody can own you they say, you are a person in your own right. So is that why they are trying to ‘re-write’ the human system, tinkering with DNA and being on their mission to get everyone injected. The other discussion around this is that once they have injected you with whatever it is they have, you are tagged and being made part of a system that has no place for freedom or individuality. It requires energy and humans to power it, with talk filtering through of people being used as antennas in the very near future to make 6g work, it makes that seem even more plausible. And I can’t help thinking of the scene in The Matrix, where he is shown the fields of pods, where humans are being grown for use as batteries, to power the world that now is. That might have just been a very crude representation of it, but if you take away the dark themes of pods and a scorched sky, and replace it with how it would be for us. Walking around generating the power needed, and it being syphoned away from you without you even knowing, thinking that because you aren’t unconscious in a pod pretending to have a better life, you aren’t trapped in a construct that needs you to survive. But we are, and the freedom we fight for, isn’t as it appears…
In our studies of insects, it is noted sometimes how there are similarities of structure, or behaviour. And for this purpose, we will be looking at ants. You may already have guessed where this is going by the title, but to look at what it is that causes us to notice similarities. Apart from the obvious of course, they have a colony, a queen, military ants, worker and breeder ants, and a chemical communication process that works. Can’t help thinking it’s similar, maybe we are being modelled on that? Or is a natural state we achieve as a group? Probably not as our system requires constant enforcement, and theirs appears to be of a natural order. But we can’t be sure. For all we know, the queen ant might be able to drug the worker ants, turn them into compliant zombies or somethings. See articles The Hive, and Zombies? Perhaps for a little more on that.
The two films being referenced here are both animated, and although for children, seems to have a rather grown-up undertone going on. And not really a hidden one. As I have watched a number of these type of films only as an adult, I can only speculate in mind on what a child may take from it.
A Bug’s Life (1998) – an aggressive species, apparently a bit higher than the ants in the food chain, are using them as slaves to collect food, and their whole existence is based around this. Until one questions it and disrupts the status quo, showing there is a better way.
ANTZ (1998) – For the good of the colony. Sounds very similar to ‘for the greater good’ doesn’t it. But this film is quite dark really, as it shows a conspiracy to depopulate the entire colony by the ones at the top by way of a ‘disaster’, to start again so they can be better, but without 95% of the numbers. Luckily one sees through it all eventually and saves the day, as we are supposed to think happens. When someone else saves the day covers what I think of the idea of a saviour hero character and how well placed they are in our collective psyche. But they managed to have a eugenicist colonel to head the colony and be the bad guy, and a lowly ‘worker’ to save the day.
The ones who do survive after ‘saving the day’ though, don’t ever save it for the people do they? The ones for the people who want rid of the whole shoddy system, end up dying for the cause, the ones who save it for the crown? They usually get to live, and it be called a noble cause or quest. But just as the picture and quote highlight, it would be a very different situation in the game of power, if all the ‘ants’ decided to be heroes at once wouldn’t it? Instead of waiting for someone else to save the day and swoop in from nowhere and sort everything out, if everyone stood up at once, to be their own hero, and to fight for themselves, and for and with others then it might be different. And who can say for sure what will happen when people are pushed to breaking point, despite what we think we know, there is always a variable that hasn’t been factored in that can steer it in a new direction. But that works both ways, so it’s a good idea to stay sharp and pay attention, as you never know what’s around the next manufactured corner.
How could we have known what they would do? It seemed like another invention and part of our progress. Little did we know, they would be taking us back, to a time before.
It was to be the first project of its kind, a way to develop and grow human babies, without the need for a ‘mother’ or human carrier. They would be developed to a certain specification, helping to eliminate disabilities, illnesses and what society had started to deem disadvantages to being a ‘productive and worthy citizen’.
A vision of the future was put forward, of smiling people with children, living in pollution free ‘zones’, with your selected living quarters and work placement being where you live. And you will be able to select the children you want to have with you in that ordered new society they believed everyone should be part of.
And on the face of it, it did seem as though that was the case. The world was appearing to become a perilous place, and many believed shutting off cities and towns to ‘outsiders’ might be a good thing. To try and get back to a system of community, and stability. But that was because they didn’t know. Didn’t know what had been found in Antarctica and at various sites around the world decades before, because if people did, it would have changed everything.
That there was a time long before what we know now, or think we know, where the Giants Of the Dome ruled over their domain, called the Nephilim. Where great trees nearly touched the sky, huge animals roamed and the biodome name ‘E-Dome’ was theirs to command over and maintain. But that’s where they were contained, not allowed to stray or adventure, but confined to their biodome.
And just as they ruled over their domain, they were also ruled over by the above, their creator, their keeper. The one who has the power to cause Life or Death, so they called it LORD.
But such as it was, the giants didn’t like being captive very much, and grew bored and listless with their domain, wanting to climb the great trees to the top to see what was up there. But they were so big and bulky, not all the tall trees could support them climbing, and they didn’t hide well and stood out, as you might imagine a giant would. Finding themselves either struck by lightning, or a great wind would start and sway the tree so much they would fall to the ground. A warning to not get too close.
One day while walking through the mountains, one of the giants, Genesis, happens upon an area that looks vaguely familiar, but from a long-lost memory. It seems that they were designed to be that way, as bad memory is a trait amongst giants. Yet something worked its way to the surface, and stayed, no longer lost, but not quite making sense. He followed his feet towards a mountainside, and came upon a door, large enough for giants as with the other structures of their realm, so decided it was meant for him.
It was terrifying and fascinating all at once and a lot to take in. A great hall like a giant cathedral hidden in the mountain, with rows and rows of cocoon pods for growing giants. It was their spawning site, where the creator grew the giants, starting small and programming their height, weight, hair colour, maximum age, intelligence and all the other things you would need from a race put there to serve. And it gave Genesis an idea. What if they could have their own slave race too, something for the giants to create and rule over.
So, in secret, he began to test with the machine and started to learn how to create small giants. Putting in a new set of dimensions each time, hoping for something that would be adequate for purpose. And each time it didn’t quite work out how he had wanted, the failed small giant would be cast out onto the land, giving rise to various types of altered small giant. Some short and squat, some tall and slender, and others that either perished and were left to rot on the hillside or were deformed and slunk away to live in the darkness of caves. Until finally, after what seemed like an age had passed, he was happy with it, putting the best of the giants into something that would be a help to them.
And although they were meant to be there to serve, as the giants were, Genesis couldn’t help wanting more for his creation. And wondered if imposing the life they did not desire on something else, was really the right thing to do.
But now it was finished the Giants Of the Dome themselves would be entering a new era, no longer would it be the age of the GODs. The dawn of the Miniature Augmented Nephilim was upon them, the age of MAN had begun.
Yet this creation was not without a heavy punishment, it was discovered that there was a new race. Genesis was told he had doomed them all, and the dome would face near destruction. All of his creations would be killed and probably most of the giants too, with fire and water, land creatures great and small would suffer the consequences.
Faced with his own end, and with the end of the giants, he wondered if he could reprogram the pods, to create a self-replicating creation. That if it could manage to survive the coming doom, would be able to continue, secretly on the land, being small and hidden. So, he did. Spending his last days in the mountain, setting one last program to run, creating the last man, and something new meaning it could go on.
The rumbles in the ground told him the end was coming, and with the programs complete he took the pods from the cave to hide them. Surely the mountain would be destroyed and all his work lost, so he hid them in a valley, far away, surrounded on all sides with lush forest and streams. There they could be safe from the coming doom he hoped.
And while the tallest trees were cut from touching the sky, the seas rose and flames fell to the earth, scorching and clearing, with the waters washing away the new breed, and the old with it. Giant and man alike were gone, giant beast, giant trees, all gone. All traces of them buried deep beneath the layers of mud or taken to the bottom of the oceans lost to the layers of time. Well, almost all traces. Because it seems, that not all the men were indeed lost, some of the men survived, and one giant. Aesop. Also managed to avoid the deluge and fire, hiding out in the Patagonian mountains.
And so it was that the landscape changed forever, with small pockets of men and the other creations scattered throughout the land, and two new people emerged into the new ravaged world far from all that was. Where the time that came before quickly was forgotten, hidden and buried. The new man and what would become known as woman did what they were programmed for, and self-replication was a success. Allowing the new species of breeders to find their way and keep the creation alive. All that had come before became myth and legend, told as stories by the wise folk and the Elders who would dwell in the mountains. Living lifetimes over and over again, as was their programming, to be overseers, to be Watchers. Warning of a day, when the men of old would return to claim their place as rulers of this land, and to go back to the days of the Arc machine in the mountain.
And when that day came, a darkness that had been lurking stepped out of the shadows, bringing back the stories of old. But they had been twisted and rewritten, to keep it all hidden and secret. The grail of eternal life, the pods in the mountain. A way to replicate what you are but with extra time, sought after for generations by all the other creations while they slowly withered as they were meant to. No way to continue their line and destined to watch their kind all die, while seeing the new creation live on, self-replicating over and over.
Until it was found, in a vast icy region far away from the inhabited lands, deep in the mountain and saved from the past destructions. And those that found it agreed, that it would be the time for a new age, and there was to be a stealth war, of the Breeders and the Podders. And over the decades they worked hard, growing an army of replicants, recreating themselves with new parameters. Infiltrating the population slowly but surely, replacing breeders with a podder version, encouraging them to stop breeding themselves, finding ways to halt or disrupt their development. Knowing that if they could remove women from the species, they wouldn’t be able to reproduce without them and they would fail. It was a silent war for the absolute power to create and give life, which many didn’t even know was happening. But where the stakes were higher than they had ever been…
If you wanted to hide something, a really big dastardly plan, then people say you wouldn’t tell everyone about it. You might know the one I refer to, the big one, the openly talked about ‘conspiracy theory’ of the depopulation agenda. Many think it’s fantasy, but the idea is not new, and it’s not secret so certainly not conspiracy. But what some overlook, is that they haven’t in any way tried to hide the idea, why would they? It’s possibly required that people need to know in order for it to work and gather steam. But maybe it was the implementation of the ideas that was to be murky, and non-descript, and confusing. So that people on the ground wouldn’t piece together the bigger picture, or work out how the small things were playing their part as they happened at the time.
But there are plans and have been discussions surrounding the world’s population density and what can be done to control it, or get it in hand in some way. I’ll use one that springs to mind.
Apparently this isn’t how it sounds from Mr Gates, and has been misconstrued. But ask yourself this, how exactly did he think he would lower it by 10-15% while at the same time improving everybody’s health and environment, therefore breeding conditions? I wonder.
“First, we’ve got population,” he said during the talk organized by TED, a non-profit organization devoted to spreading ideas. “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent. But there, we see an increase of about 1.3.”
One of the recently deceased royals, Prince Philip was quoted as saying in 1988.
“In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation.”
Two ways in my mind you achieve lowering, either sterilisation, therefore knowing it can’t increase further, or extermination programs. Neither one seems very people friendly, does it? Lowering population means to stop breeding, or to kill off some people. Or both. Maybe I missed something there that was obvious to others but that is what I took from it. Maybe that’s why they want to dictate birth control, abortions, and breeding generally. Switching the rhetoric from ‘depopulation’ to ‘overpopulation’. Because it sounds a lot more user friendly to sound like you are halting the numbers, rather than culling the numbers. And when it comes to influencing and convincing people to go along with things, they have useful tools at hand. See my article Conversion, can work both ways.
But if you wanted to hide some big losses in work forces and society if you go for the culling method, it would be necessary to disrupt those industries and workplaces. Otherwise, lots of people suddenly taking sick or dying would be very noticeable and people might see. But if you had lots of strikes, restrictions, mass sackings, lots of changes, lockdowns, financial issues etc, then it struck me how much easier it becomes to hide the overall losses. Keeping everyone moving around and not having anywhere near the same routine they used to have. Work from home, 15-minute cities and zones popping up, shop online. All big changes to lots of people, but also means you see less people initially, meaning how would you know if any or a few were missing. And if you did, who would listen?
And when certain industries seem at breaking point, they can blame the strikes, the economy, the people. But all were instigated at the hands of the planners, the people Shapers, knowing what would ensue. With so many areas failing at once, the pressure and stress within each industry, I guess they expect the domino effect to then occur. Each collapsing under its own confusion and instability, causing a chain reaction with others to follow. Or it would seem that is what’s expected, although not quite coming to pass. Whether it’s just the plan isn’t working, has stalled a bit, or the people are showing more resilience than predicted, I’m not sure yet, we’ll have to see…
I’m going to talk about banks. The financial world and economy are dominated by them. The portfolios they wield are eye-watering. But the premise of what they are, and what they used to offer, versus what they have morphed into is becoming clearer as time goes on.
Imagine you have a piggy bank. And you put your coins into it ‘for safe keeping’ or for ‘a rainy day’. Funny they picked a pig to hold your money isn’t it, greedy as a pig, as Bricktop would say. But you have your money in your piggy bank, and you put it to one side. When needed, you take the money out, use it, start over. Really easy, and will be why banks worked to start with.
But, let’s now imagine when you go to get some, your little piggy won’t pay up, unless you pay a fee. And the time after that, you have to pay a fee, and can’t get all the money out. Next time, fee, restricted amount, and the piggy bank has moved somewhere else, so it takes you a while to find it. Next time, piggy says you made too much, and so on. Not being funny, but you would stop using that piggy bank, thinking it had lost control of itself and was just meant to be a helping hand to manage your money. But instead, you will no longer be allowed to manage your money, because they either don’t want you having any in the capacity we once knew it, or they want to dictate it, fully.
Now, let’s take piggy further, who starts working with your employer, and the tax office and all other authorities. Your piggy bank is no longer even in your house, and gets looked at by whoever thinks it necessary. And piggy keeps taking his cut, every time you put money in, and charges a fee to the person you buy from every time you buy something. Following you in presence while you spend, then one day you go to buy something piggy doesn’t like. No. Transaction blocked. Like a controlling parent or partner, piggy takes over all your finances, decides you aren’t competent anymore…
Or something like that. But maybe it helps to imagine for some, that the little cute money saver that started as a small help, has grown into a giant pig bursting at the seems, growing in size constantly ready to explode and take people’s ‘rainy days’ with it. Just saying sorry, I dropped it all somewhere and no there isn’t any. Or not even saying sorry, just explaining how and why, with no real accountability, just more people getting rich of other people’s hard work. It’s a perfect trap.
Many people have mentioned in the last couple of years, how people have changed, or rather are now seen for what and who they really are. And it seems a fair few have revealed themselves to be quite narrow-minded, cold, and uncaring and in some cases, quite hateful. Whether it was family towards family, colleague towards colleague or friend toward friend, not everyone was expecting how it played out for them. But what seems to have been discussed, was how those people could be like that, or how someone didn’t see they were like that before. I’ve written already about it in A certain type of person, but wanted to further speculate on how it is that so many possibly came to be like that. Of course, there are those who just are like that, so may not fall into this category, and there will be others who became what they were merely through life experiences, but this is a general idea.
Painkillers and prescription drugs – I wonder if they have quietly been doing more than what they were meant to. In my article Memory I mention that it has been noted along the way, that painkillers while numbing physical pain, can also dampen and interrupt emotions and feelings. I hadn’t considered that when thinking about addictions and how so many became addicted to them after their ailment had apparently healed, I just thought they were physically addictive, and may well be. But the idea to me was that if someone is on high-end painkillers for a long time, would severely miss out on being fully emotionally present for a portion of their life. How is it perceived when something happens that requires lots of feeling? Is it void? Is it there but just not functioning because it is being inhibited? I don’t know, and don’t know anyone to ask who has had this affliction, or anyone whose parent may have been on them, so can relay how it felt and if they ever felt emotionally absent. And again, lots of people are, and have been in their lives for various reasons, but I wonder if this is one that gets overlooked on an individual level. But as we have had a general event we all got caught up in, many had to react in some way, whether they had a fully functioning system of emotions or not.
The other slightly terrifying idea, linked to that article Memory as well, is the conclusion of how memories appear to be transferred, through cells. I’ll brief the bit that leads in
“They took mice and hamsters and conditioned them to be afraid of the dark. Then they liquidized them, and injected them into rats, who previously had no fear of the dark. Once you get over that awfulness, that we do things like that ‘just to see’, the results revealed (although contested), that the rats who were injected, developed a fear of the dark.”
So, with that in mind. We know that bits of animal, and foetal DNA is used in making vaccines, and I theorise that whatever traumatic exposure or experience that life form went through before death, whether conditioned or natural, could be transferred by way of cells, into other substances. If you catch my drift. And that goes for any of the components to things that might be injected, all along the way. I wrote a fictional short story with that line of thought if you are interested called P113.
I had to admit, I do wonder if that really could have anything to do with so many seemingly on a quest to be numb to life. That emotions and feelings become too much, or is that they just aren’t received as they are meant to. If everyone around you is numbed by medication, or feels traumatised all the time and fearful because of something that really isn’t them, but is in them, how do you deal with that? You would be seen as the odd one because you are displaying emotions others can no longer recognise. Perhaps. All purely speculation of course, I can’t say either way whether people are really themselves anymore, and if they ever were. You can only know yourself though in the end anyway, and hope to feel like you might get to know some real people along the way too, who aren’t afraid to feel. Because in amongst all this fear these days, a big theme is that people are scared to be themselves, more now than ever. Bravery has to start with standing up for being yourself, then maybe you can stand up for others, it might just be needed…
It’s stirred some to speak out, they’ve had enough. Of the recent hoo-ha? No, not of that. But of the bright idea from the ‘numbers man’ to get everyone to stay in school until 18 to do maths apparently. So, I’m going to put my two pence worth forward. I also work in finance for various industries, but have also worked in a range of other jobs before finding my career path. In a time when we have jobs disappearing with the closure of businesses left, right and centre, and they talk of robots taking over our future, you would think it might be prudent to have a conversation about where it is all going and what jobs there might be for people to train for. Or is it that they will require lots of coders in the future, and they will adjust the ‘maths’ program to incorporate computers and binary, so won’t be maths as we knew it. Because if it was, then the consensus seems pretty clear, it is not a useful subject by any means at further level, and will bore some people out of their mind. And that was said by someone who loved maths (I have a friend who is a maths teacher, so know some people do love it), but for some, it is not a natural process to be able to deal with and organise numbers and work with them. They are better with words, or art, or practical subjects. And mostly to be fair, you can either pick up or be taught along the way if you have a decent brain and someone takes the time to show you, at any point in your life. You don’t stop learning just because you leave school, and many realise how much they didn’t learn by being at school. Being bright, and being ‘intelligent’ by someone else’s scale are two very different things.
Maybe it’s just they don’t know what to do with 16-18-year-olds, so they want to tie them up in compulsory education, at a time when they would more inclined to find themselves and where they might fit in the adult world they are becoming part of. Because regardless of whether you might choose to identify as a child, or a young person, who are required to take part in the adult world once you reach a certain age. I wonder if we will start to see children identifying as older people, claiming to be a 30-year-old trapped in a 10-year-old body? I’m sure the pedo elite would love that, given the recent statements filtering onto the internet about how it’s becoming an acceptable attitude. So seems even stranger that children of a certain age, i.e. 4 year olds in Scotland for example, are allowed to change their gender, or idea of it on paper for now, but don’t have any say in what they are taught? Grown up life Decisions allowed there, but not apparently when you are nearly grown up? Old enough to vote at 16 they say, but not old enough to leave school at the same age? It’s an odd series of blurred lines creeping in, another good way to separate generations of people, who may only be 10 years apart, but they end growing up in a completely different educational climate, with different rules. Makes for an isolating experience perhaps from those older than you, and then they will do it again to the next younger generation after that. My article A lost generation touched on that idea a bit. But we have had a varying age of consent in this country, as have others, and as we are told, children didn’t go to school previously and mostly were made to work. So was it ever about education, or merely a tool to remove a big part of the ‘workforce’ and a growing up process that many went through. I am not a fan of child labour by any means, but was a child who wanted to work and contribute in some way. Didn’t want to have pocket money, I wanted a job. Now, that could just be because I wasn’t actually given pocket money, I had to earn it, my mum used to trade me, a clean bathroom got £1 and sometimes she would let me clean the whole house for £5 when I got to be a young teenager. Enterprising on her part, no? But I was also the sandwich maker, the tea maker, and generally the helpful one. Working out years later why my sister appeared to make a crap cup of tea when living at home, but seemed to actually make quite a good one once away from home. For all my observation skills, I missed a trick there and took pride in what I did, and wanted it to be good, even if it meant I got saddled with the job thereafter. Until you put your foot down of course, but when you are young, you don’t always know when to, and if it means stamping on someone else’s want, be prepared for the fallout.
But back to the two years of maths, a strange thing to focus on when we apparently have all sorts of jobs and skills shortages, needing manual workers, hospitality staff, healthcare staff, doctors, teachers etc. Where the pay isn’t up to scratch many say, so not necessarily a shortage of the skills, but a shortage of willing to pay for them? And what will the extra numeracy achieve in this quest for re-education of that 8 million adults who are said to have the numeracy skills of a child our numbers man mentions? How will it help them? Another odd thing to say was “statistics underpin every job”. Not sure I follow on that, unless you are measuring something in percentages for the purpose of analysis, to create statistics for something, they don’t just appear. Stats don’t underpin jobs in my opinion, skills, requirement, supply and demand does surely? Whatever the real reason for coming out with this ‘plan’, it is as full of holes as all the others, but does beg the question. Where exactly is this going? Do they just want to demoralise each generation in unique ways, and then continue to hold them down thereafter? Hoping that the continued parading of ineptitude will just wear people down and make them give up or accept the inanity. In fact, it seems that is indeed what has happened, but over the last number of decades, and we just didn’t quite notice. But now there is so much public coverage of things and instant news at everyone’s fingertips, it’s all out there for everyone to see and the childish, egotistical and unprofessional behaviour of so many is quite disturbing. But these days, it seems as though there is a lot of disturbing to go around…
