It may seem like a little thing, and one of a strange automated compliance, first for clanging pots, then for clapping, now for turning lights off at a specified time – all in the evening at the same time. Interestingly though, I only saw mention of them on the internet, because without TV and newspapers, how would I know? Same with many other things, if you didn’t have the internet on, it would pass by, unknown, which in itself is amusing, because while on the internet, many are talking about how newspapers are whipping up fear, and perpetuating things to be riled up by and afraid of. Overlooking somewhat their role in it too. There is fine line between sharing information to make people aware, and constantly wanting people to feel like you do, and knowing when to just walk away from it or stop being the facilitator of that information.

I’m going to use the latest stunt as the main example, Christmas lights. It seems to have got people talking, job one done, got lots riled up it seems (although who knows how many of those were bots), job two done, and rather than ‘do what they were asked’, some talked about doing the opposite. Instead of turning off your Christmas lights, some people said they would be putting more up, or turning on every light in the house ‘just to show them’. Job three done. Reaction. Because either reaction means they have got to you, and are influencing you, and then in turn you influence others, on their behalf.

I can’t really fathom why people wanted to publicise it for them to be honest, or maybe they don’t realise that’s what they are doing, furthering the cause in their own way, thinking they are going against it – or as some would say, they are shilling and doing exactly what they are there to do. But by engaging with it so much, talking about it in the lead up and keeping it going in the immediate time after, is still being part of it, even though claiming to not be, by not ‘doing as they were told’. But they still get a result because the articles were shared, suggested to each other what to do that would be the opposite of the ‘request’ but at the same time of day. Odd to behold to be honest, because it means you are still playing their game, just thinking it’s on your terms. But what they wanted is people talking, sharing and reacting to the silly and distracting things. Taking your energy still, and tying up your time being outwardly enraged, or frustrated, or trying to show indifference, but still reacting as they would like. Sometimes I think it is best to just ignore it and not join in, at all, but maybe that’s just me. Work out what is beneficial for someone to see or know about, or not. Otherwise, you just end up being the free extra little messenger, on top of the paid propaganda machine, helping to fuel and promote the distraction and actually giving it energy to become what it was meant to. Social media can be used for good, or bad, and the key is with the user, not the controller, for now. And they say you get out what you put in, so if you put in drama and rage, guess what, it gets amplified and seems to create more drama and rage, age old formula, with a new much larger reach. So, be mindful of your thoughts and what you put into it, or at least don’t be surprised if that’s what comes back towards you.

It can be difficult though, not to react, I get that, especially when there has been so much damage to the economy behind the scenes, and people have lost loved ones. But when you go outside, it still looks the same mostly, no visible sign of any destruction at all. Cars are still driving around, shops are still selling goods, and people are still buying them. And before these last few years, we still had drama, and the economy was failing, just with a myriad of different excuses, austerity, Brexit, previous politicians, policies, wars, etc. No-one really accepting we’re in the shit, and just sorting it out, and the more time you waste trying to blame someone, the less time you are spending sorting it out. I certainly do agree with finding the cause of the issue and removing or resolving it, but not then to sit around discussing why and how you removed it, that would be silly, you should have done that first. If you catch my drift.

Knowing when and how to react, is becoming even more important than it ever was. Because now there are carefully placed and timed things to be there as buttons, to ‘trigger’ people into action or reaction, but both with a premeditated idea of what the result of either will be. And being aware of what to react to is equally important, and like I said, when to not react at all. It’s easy to get caught up in someone else’s reaction to things too, and some people demand others to be involved in theirs, so it really is a tricky road. Because are you just going along with something? Is it someone else’s strong reaction to something that helps to solidify or encourage yours? Or are those feelings from you, and how you feel and have perceived things?

We all know people say and do things just for said reaction to them, either for attention, or as ‘click-bait’ these days. And it can work on bigger things too, as we have seen since the rise of the internet, like the pond effect. Drop a big stone in water, and see the ripples, and the long after effects still causing a disturbance. Same with little stones, just less of an effect. Now, I know we know what the analogy represents, but I will spell it out from my view. Society is the pond, we as people are the water, and the media and entertainment industry are the stones. And the establishment are the ones selecting, holding and dropping the stones any time the surface looks to be calming or stabilising. Much harder to tread water or find your feet if there’s waves always crashing around you.

So sometimes, if you remove yourself from the centre, where the worst of it is, you can get to the edge, find a little bit of calm and take a moment. To just breath, and think, and take stock of you, where you are and how you feel, without other people’s thoughts and feeling being thrust upon you first. Then maybe at least, if you do react to something, it’s because you are meant to and for the right reasons, not because you are being made to.

I always thought it seemed entirely possible, some people have been reverse engineered mentally, many in fact. So, rather than just end up the way they were by normal experiences and natural environment alone, there has been a great amount of influence and manipulation to steer the personality, or behaviour to the desired result. Behaviour modification programs have been with us for quite some time, under the guise of ‘research’ at first, or ‘marketing’ then obviously is taken by organisations and institutions that wish to control people, what they think, what they say and ultimately, what they do.

A couple of my articles already have already touched on this – The three D’s of conversion under Coercion, and Nudge Nudge, but moving on from internal lab experiments like Pavlov and Skinner had conducted, around the 60’s and 70’s, the various institutions decided they needed bigger test groups, real life settings and unsuspecting candidates. Ethics seems to have been adapted as necessary, if it seems too edgy or is being questioned, say it’s military and for national security. That seems to have been the golden ticket for much, going back quite some time. Say something is under threat, and it seems you can do anything, as long as you say you are trying to save them you can literally do the complete opposite, but as long you say it, that’s fine. Apparently. Trust what people do, not what they say, and if the two match up no problem.

They also spend a lot of money and time working out our behaviours so they could ‘motivate’ us to buy what they wanted, and think how they wanted towards things, highlighted here in Consumerism. But I had already thought on from it being just about shopping habits when I was much younger, when the argument of computer games and movies came up all those years ago in the media. It was being said that the level of violence and horror children were being exposed to, would be harmful to them and would affect their mentality. I was into horror films, and loved computer games when they first became affordable and mainstream, spent time like everyone else indulging in them. All that carefully crafted information to go in, in whichever format the input was being presented, either books, films or games, or from the media. You can’t help but accept that some of it is retained, or helps to form your view on things, or think through scenarios you would otherwise have never even been exposed to the concept, let alone a full simulated version of it. And for the people who are able to imagine and picture things in mind, maybe more than others, are they affected more? Did they work out that with clever triggers, followed up by certain conditions they could create a few ‘abnormals’ as I will call them. It’s highly likely that some people have strayed off the map on their own, with the overload of stimulation and simulation going on, it can get too much. But when you add into that maybe let’s say, anti-psychotic drugs, which seems to apparently be a running theme with school shooters in America, could that be what leads to a breaking down of being able to view the world through clear eyes, or with a clear mind?

Being disconnected from reality, as it might be called, is something that cannot really be defined, despite it being ‘a thing’. Whose reality are we going by to judge the scale? Is it really reality you are disconnected from? Or are you connected to actual reality, and it’s the alternate one telling you to drift off into it and drawing you in with bright, shiny, moving objects? I take it that they are talking about the shared reality, which is discussed more in Separate realities, but the version we all have to take part in interacting with people and society. Also makes me wonder, would we notice so much, if parts of the simulated reality started to creep into real life? Many have likened recent events to episodes of the TV series Black Mirror, which I confess I haven’t seen, but would make sense give my other speculations on Prepped for Disaster, or clever programming?, that there is a reason it all seems to familiar, and recognisable. Because it is meant to, making it much easier to shape and steer the public perception of something.

I also thought it could be applicable with certain deviances and dysfunctions within society currently, which are not new, but seem rather prevalent at the moment. Paedophilia, and the way it appears to have infiltrated every part and level of society. Entertainment, fashion, institutions, the media etc, and all the other areas we already knew of. So, is it that there has been an explosion of them, and of sexual deviants generally? Or is it the media perception telling us that? Or, have the people shapers been carefully crafting a type of person they wish to be prevalent within society? Through timely exposures, and clever marketing, films, news stories and generally using all they know about how people develop with sexuality. I wondered this also through reading about some of the ideals of conversion therapy, and its early experiments and uses on people. And it occurred to me, if they could use that repeatedly on someone to try and stop them being homosexual, surely, they would have tried it the other way round too, because that’s the type of thing they would do. You know, ‘just to see if it works’. Then apply that to any type of behaviour, sexual or otherwise, and imagine they could then create people with either short or long-term afflictions or desires, which suite a purpose for them. Either to create industry, push an agenda, or have as tool for later use within society. And of course, it could well be that it really was always that common, just hidden, and it’s only now it seems to be held over so many, in so many walks of life, I can’t help thinking there is something else, encouraging it, creating it and facilitating it. For what you might ask, well, leverage. Until they get their way of making it accepted, or at least that seems to the be a push they are going for, could be another distraction. We shall see.

But while all that has been chugging along, they have also been converting the average person and mindset, towards ratings, likes, verification, shares – they are all part of a validation credit system. That may not be in the same monetary terms like the financial social credit system, but it is the other side of the same coin. Financial credit system equals the set up they show you with the QR codes, restricted access, banking, travel and restrictions etc, all based on your economical position within their game of society. And there is your social credit score – or social standing as I guess it used to be called, which will now run alongside it, and be part of it. The amount of data we give them on a daily basis of our like, dislikes, thoughts, fears, dreams, hopes and wants, is more than enough to garner the info needed to know what to do next. How to flick that switch in people, that was put there eons ago and we probably weren’t even aware of it. Like sleeper cells I guess, that we have all been programmed with a different set of instructions along a main theme, or have been party to a subconscious experiment, drawing people in when the time comes. Giving it a central point to collect and mutate, but within restricted boundaries, so the outcome can always be limited, because you set the parameters, and everyone plays within them. If you only play the game of Monopoly, it is unlikely you will ever win a game of Risk, if you catch my drift…

A cross between Ellis Island, Heathrow and Alcatraz with the general overtones of a Victorian work house. Or as we know it, Britain. It would appear that lovely green and pleasant land we were brought up to believe this was, is no longer so, and potentially was always a myth and part of the illusion. Because none of this is new, what we see around us, it’s just a ramped up out in the open version. We have had class divides, credit systems, and ways to keep people down for more than an age or two. Royalty and lords of the manor dictating and ruling, politicians and lords of the house, lining their pockets and futures at the expense of everyone else’s. Walls, fences and boundaries to keep you off their land, now even more so with corporations and institutions being the face of it, or lack of face of it rather, making it all the harder to focus on one person being the problem, they have many. Boards and committees, CEO, CFO, executives etc. Ways to dilute the responsibility or side step it altogether. Or, they will throw one of their own to the wolves, when necessary, as a show of good faith, I guess. But like the hydra, cut off one head, and there are many more to replace it. It’s like a well-oiled machine now.

But it really does seem, when you think about it, that Britain is a bit of a hub for trafficking of people. Funny really, because you would think as an island, it would be easier to control that kind of thing, and manage effectively. Which is why you realise it’s orchestrated. People are a huge commodity, and have been traded and used, for as long as we know of. I’ll use Britain as the main example as that is where I grew up, and going by what is written as accepted history, it seems we have stolen our own people as well as others, but there are British, French, German, Dutch and other European colonies all over the world. When I had learned of it all as a child, I stupidly thought it was like a magical adventure, people would have been offered new lives, free travel and an opportunity to settle and make a life in newly discovered awesome places. Not quite comprehending the sweep and clear missions to get rid of the people already there. And learning years later of what occurred to many sent to Australia, who in fact were taken from orphanages, and even lied to that their parents had died, just to have a workforce and people to condition to their way. That’s where I realise that child labour or slavery serves a purpose over adults. Children are less likely to revolt, or question things, or know how to organise. Also, easier to make them believe they are alone with no-one to help them, must have been awful for them, thinking as well they were going to start a new wonderful life, until you got there and were treated like crap. Perhaps then making for a rather downtrodden population thereafter, prone to trauma triggers because the whole society started as that. Just a theory, who knows for sure. Here is another quite stunning piece of history, which given what we know of ‘care services’ and child trafficking today, raises many questions in my mind.

“The Orphan Train Movement was a supervised welfare program that transported children from crowded Eastern cities of the United States to foster homes located largely in rural areas of the Midwest. The orphan trains operated between 1854 and 1929, relocating about 200,000 children.”

I also find it interesting that it coincides with the Industrial revolution period, and notably in my mind, a series of World’s fairs –

From Wikipedia – Industrialization (1851–1938) – The first era, the era of “industrialization”, roughly covered the years from 1850 to 1938. In these years, world expositions were largely focused on trade and displayed technological advances and inventions. World expositions were platforms for state-of-the-art science and technology from around the world. The world expositions of 1851 London, 1853 New York, 1862 London, 1876 Philadelphia, Paris 1878, 1888 Barcelona, 1889 Paris, 1891 Prague, 1893 Chicago, 1897 Brussels, 1900 Paris, 1904 St. Louis, 1915 San Francisco, and 1933–34 Chicago were notable in this respect

I wonder if some of those fairs, were also a handy way to relocate people, and buy and sell what they needed for the industrious projects. People. I’m sure it’s no secret they would acquire skilled people at these ‘events’, but there is always the side you aren’t obviously aware of, and often more than one purpose for something so grand and opulent. Many questions arise when you start to look at the details of some of them. Weird passports to get into them, workbooks, grades and numbers being assigned to the ‘guests’. Seems more like an odd training camp or university, rather than just a gathering of inventions and science of the future. Like I said, interesting.

But at the moment, it’s really not a secret, and in fact for quite some time, it looks as though people are being deliberately encouraged to come here, but not as a registered citizen by normal means that others have to follow. No, no. They want them to arrive with nothing essentially. So, why is that? So they can give them things? Or perhaps they require new citizens, and it’s easier to just sort of poach someone else’s. Often after you have ruined the area those people may need to leave from, convenient huh? But recently it seems more and more are coming from all sorts of places, and ending up here. A tiny island, often cold and wet with limited land options after all those walls and boundaries add up. Can’t be for the ordinary opportunities you or I may be thinking of. More like a Mos Eisley kind of feel to it, rather than Little House on the Prairie. So, would anyone notice if a few hundred undocumented people went missing? Or more? Who would know? It may well be that there is more than one opportunity going on, we shall see. Either way, it’s a shit storm that has been created and as usual, the people On the ground will be the pawns in it…
