A Different Trajectory

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

So many lives have been interrupted, steered in a different direction, and in some cases, halted altogether. But at the beginning of this, I couldn’t help thinking of all the situations people would be missing out on. The implications of the decisions being imposed on a nation, being felt at a very individual level for so many all at once. Aside from the very sinister occurrences covered in It looked sinister, it was other things too that may seem quite ordinary or mundane to some, but those things shape your life, and you. Give you experiences which help to build your character and form your personality as you get older. Once lockdown started, I really felt for people. No socialising, casual shopping, get togethers, parties, hanging out, moving, getting married. Or meeting new people, dating, starting new jobs or travelling. So much either put on hold or has gone forever. Time does not wait though, it marched ever on as it does, and people’s lives were held in place, or tipped upside down.

Because alongside that, ran other pressures, worries and concerns. A campaign of propaganda, coercion, fear and a relentless drive to change people’s way of thinking. A lot of strain and pressure has been put upon people, by the government, local vicinity, and in many cases, their own friends, family and colleagues. And there we really got to see ‘peer pressure’ in action. In fact, they encouraged and facilitated it, allowed bullying and cajoling of people, as part of the plan to wear people down and in some cases break them. My article Nudge, Nudge goes into that a bit more as well as The three d’s of conversion under coercion. But really what many seem to overlook now, is their own behaviour during that and how they are now viewed. It really has revealed a starkly uncaring and nasty streak in many, where under other circumstances may not have had a chance to be exposed, but once you know, you know. And it really does (or at least should), change the way you look at someone. Knowing they wanted to throw you to the wolves, just to make themselves ‘feel better’. Not to actually save them, or help them in any physical way, just to feel better about being duped themselves, because that in some cases is what it highlights. That they were easily fooled, just followed orders and didn’t actually use their brain. Now, that can’t be said of all, some who indulged the new experimental drug did actually think it through with what they thought they knew, and genuinely thought they were making the right decision, because they listened to people who cared not one jot about them. Overriding their own concerns, or ignoring the concerns of others, blind trust I guess. Even people close to you can lie and take advantage of you, so why it wouldn’t be considered for complete strangers and ones who stand to profit financially from your decision, is beyond me.

So, people are now on a different trajectory from before, things have been redirected and rearranged. Lives, destinies and paths have been altered and are being steered somewhere new. That doesn’t mean you can’t take control of the situation, and take back some of that, but if you continue to drift along with no purpose or aim, you will get pulled along with the prevailing current, or worse, sucked under. It can’t go back to how it was before, too much has changed, too much damage has been done for forgive and forget, I can see that. The toll it has taken on people from all sorts of angles is clear, and still goes on, so there hasn’t been time to try and work through it, move on from it or work out how to move on from it. I believe that’s part of the overriding plan to reshape society, throwing constant changes and variables at people, meaning you can’t find your feet and stabilise, to regroup as you might call it. Because if we did regroup, we would be stronger and more of a threat. That’s why it serves a purpose for everyone to be at odds with each other, about everything we could be – colour, height, weight, gender, education, politics, vaccines, music, religion, media, etc. Personal preference is now used as a basis for throwing insults, excluding people and trying to show them up, a classic example of that being “I really like apples. Oh, so you hate oranges then?” It’s an odd thing, to be expected to defend yourself against that which you have no issue. Which is the issue to people who want division. It’s not enough to like something, they need you to hate something too it would seem, And all it has done in many cases, is make people stay quiet about what they like, so they don’t get accused of hating something else. And others, well, they are all too vocal with what they hate, constantly needing others to be aware of it. I guess it makes me wonder, what is it they actually like? Do they know? Do they understand the concept of like, and acceptance, and tolerance? Not so sure, yet that is what is it is claimed to be. There seems to be a lot of redefining of terms these days, but that doesn’t make the change so, it just writes down what someone thinks it should be. We are in a murky world of definitions at the moment, and maybe we always were, where they invent and define terminology to control, dictate, bamboozle and ultimately gain an advantage. Then they re-invent them, when the mood changes, or the narrative needs a shift, swaying the collective mindset of society in the direction that gives them the upper hand.

And what of that upper hand, previously it seemed to be for the benefit of just Consumerism, or to push people’s ideals and wants in a certain direction. But now it has taken a rather insidious turn, and no longer seems to be about spending and industry, it seems to be about domination and control of peoples bodies, actions, thoughts and feelings. Slightly different approach from “Hey, buy this”, it’s turned a bit into “Hey, we own you, do what we say”. Where they would like us to understand we are no longer the consumer, we are now the product, which therefore makes us, the consumed. So, what it is they are consuming of ours? Data, money, time, energy, thoughts, ideas, etc. We are being harvested, emotionally, financially and mentally, with a final purpose of our actual bodily parts then get re-used for someone else. So, to me it’s a bit more in depth and complex than just “they want your data”, or they are just trying to take everyone’s assets, because while they are, it’s a much bigger sinister picture unfolding around us.

Ghost Cities

~ MKW Publishing ~ 3 Comments

This isn’t about haunted cities, despite the title. And a wonderful film, Spirited Away, would be one to watch if you like ghost cities in the paranormal context. But this is about real cities. Well, I say real cities, because that’s what they look like on the face of it. My starting point for this was finding about huge uninhabited cities that were built in China, and never used. Seeing vast towns and cities across places like Russia, Japan, and the Middle East. They looked like the future, all of those places.

And when you look around the world, there is a lot of abandoned ones. For various reasons apparently, financial collapses, disasters, a change in times and fortunes. Ancient and modern alike, apparently we are prone to the same predisposition for grandeur, opulence and wastefulness. But of these cities dotted around the world, I sometimes thought they looked like they might have been used as movie sets, and thought no more about it. Until certain propaganda videos started making their way over from China at the start of the pandemic. I grew up not knowing much about that place, understanding it was shut off from the rest of the world for hundreds of years from 1434, apparently opening back up in 1979. Although if you start to look at ‘history’ it can be confusing, as the silk road carried on until 1453, and there were a couple of ‘opium wars’ in between as well. So, although shut off, kind of still trading and doing business here and there when it suits, so just the population in general shut off then?

Back to the propaganda videos, the start of which was people just ‘dropping like flies’ in the streets. Used by the media over here to whip people into a terrified frenzy as best they could. To enforce the idea that there is something in the air that you can’t see, that could kill you. The air, something that you have to have, and is all around you. Very clever I thought, having given much though already to fear, its uses and why people would want to use it against someone or for an advantage. Taking something routine and everyday you can’t avoid and putting fear around it, as I talked about in my article Don’t fall asleep.

But the idea of cities with no people, sat around just waiting for a purpose didn’t go away. Then I thought about how easy it would be to have that city full when needed, of either actors, or unsuspecting people who think it’s a normal city like any other, because they know no other. Truman Show esque style. It is not out of the realm of possibility that they would have that type of thing at their disposal, public opinion and Consumerism seems to be extremely important to them, and having control over it them. And through the means of psychology (the depth approach), technology and marketing and propaganda, they have worked out exactly what they need to do, to get the desired results. And if it looks like they won’t get them with everyone, they will cheat, and make it ‘look like’ they did. Even now, we have well placed, strategic ‘leaked’ videos, showing what they want you to see. Every. Damn. Time. And even some of what have been deemed as false flag events, these get confused by some thinking they are faked events, whereas my understanding is that are not faked at all. They are orchestrated, and appear as a massacre by a lone individual or small group on a mission, or with such a deep cause within them it compels them to act. So, often the casualties would have to be real, the location real, the perpetrator real. But you can switch any of those for one to be conveniently placed, or faked, or manipulated to carry out such acts or react to them. They can fake entire lives on the screen, so if you haven’t met these people, you will never know for sure. And there used to be a time where it would be said, don’t believe what they say, believe what you see.

Well, that isn’t quite as it used to be anymore with technology, graphics, drones, CGI, robotics and animatronics, so much can be manipulated. The patents held for other intrusive technologies are also concerning, and ones they delight over. Of being able to ‘get inside your head’ and further down the lines, they want to put chips directly into your brain system, so they can literally be in your thoughts. Studying them, scanning them, deciding them ultimately. Sounds more than creepy doesn’t it, and it is. Like an obsessed entity that cannot deal with individualism, that wants to assimilate you into their central processing centre, so you can be a drone for them, feeding them your subconscious thoughts, while they feed you whatever they want to. And then it becomes a self-sustaining cycle, a co-dependency of sorts, but not a healthy one. Makes me think of The Borg in Star Trek, and of The Strangers in Dark City, covered a bit in my article The Hive. We are a visual creature, and although attached to an animal, we use a saying for humans as well, ‘Monkey see, monkey do’, and it’s not hard to see the route of it.

We learn well by observing others, usually. Picking up useful things throughout our life, watching to see how it’s done, then trying it ourselves. Which has served us well, but it’s quite possible that it is now being used against us for purposes of control. We are shown what is ‘happening to people’ if they disobey, or step out of line, just as they did here too during the propaganda drive. Showing you people being excessively fined, or in distress in the hospitals, being stopped from doing normal things and living. And in my mind that achieved two things at once, killing two birds with one stone as they saying goes. It instantly causes a divide, because some people would have taken the instant fear route, and wanted to avoid any scrutiny and indeed the threatened ‘punishment’, while others realised the stupidity of it and the dangerous slippery slope it would lead to, also knowing the ‘punishments’ were just the old carrot and stick methods. I’ll try and bribe you with carrot, then hit you with the stick kind of thing. Psychological warfare with an overtone of brutality, which is exactly what they have created with the strategic timing of video ‘leaks’, articles, daily press conferences, death stats and all sorts of other continuous tactics they used. Nudge, Nudge and The three d’s of conversion under coercion covered those too. They have thrown everything at this, they really have. Which is why I do think it’s not too outrageous to believe that there could be towns and cities, built for purpose and used as such, just not the purpose we might have thought they were for…

Unrealised Youth

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

For some, it may well be an unrealised youth, you hear the phrase ‘living through their kids’, to imply that someone missed the boat, and gets a second chance through their kids. A worrying concept. It could also be the case though, that they did realise their youth, and it was just fine, but the opportunity to ‘do it over’ sort of presents itself with your offspring, or just with time. We hear of people having a mid-life crisis and wanting to do impetuous things associated with youthfulness, but unfortunately many aren’t able to fund those ideas at the age we might want to do them. So, I can see why when you get to an age when you can, or maybe of a certain mindset, it can seem like a mid-life crisis, but maybe it’s just a normal life thing to happen. For some. But trying to have a life through others, is a dangerous game to play. There are various scenarios where it can manifest, not just with parents and children of course, partners, friends, colleagues, and even in the weirdest set-ups, strangers. Whether it is because they cannot form a proper life on their own, or they are dependent on others energy and attention I’m not sure, each case would be different.

In the worst-case scenarios those, we have Munchausen-by-proxy, and a well-known case of it here in the UK, where a nurse killed children, to get off on the drama and attention that then surrounded that child needing help. And there have been many cases, but on an individual level, where it’s just one mother and child, and a ‘mystery illness’, lots of attention through the other person. And perhaps there are men who do it too, but no stories spring to mind, so far I have only read about it being women, and that being said, only the ones that got caught.

With other relationships, it can be just as unhealthy, any kind of dependency on others like that. For attention, energy, validation, continuous emotional support and other things that, in the right dose, would be fine, and normal. But when it becomes a want for those things, or a craving that extends beyond normal human interaction, that’s when it gets weird. And not always as noticeable as you might think, because the person on the receiving end needs to able to firstly, spot what is going on, and secondly, have the strength of character to deal with it. Nipping it in the bud they call it, halting something dead in its tracks before it can go any further and mutate into a weirder version of itself. Knowing when someone is being entirely self-serving may seem like an obvious spot, but sadly, it’s not always so. And worse than that, are some who in some strange way, convince themselves that they are trying to help the person – on both sides. Desperately so in some cases, because it would appear they develop a severe attachment and dependency disorder, and then require the subject of their fixation, ideally, to return that dependency. For both sides, it gives them a sense of control, albeit a temporary and superficial one, and possibly even alleys some of the more outlandish behaviour that would reveals the instability in all it’s crazy glory. And perhaps, that is why some people on the receiving end, indulge that behaviour, or go along with it as best they can, for those seemingly calmer, more stable moments and to avoid ‘the drama’ or ‘the tantrum’. And sometimes it needs to be called out, and exposed for what it is, because in the face of scrutiny, often does not hold up as valid, and they know that, so will try to avoid having anyone else be able to speak against it or question it.

Being able to understand where people are coming from is incredibly important, to be able to grasp their motive and intention towards you, and understanding yours towards them equally so. It can help greatly, but between people hiding their true intentions, and people not always being confident enough to ask question, or fully interpret the answers, we are often left with confusing interactions and experiences. That isn’t anything new though, and why people talk about body language as a source of information to know what’s really going on with someone. Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast manual for it through, each person will have a slightly different version of a ‘tell’ or ‘giveaway behaviours’, which to people who have the gift, can see it straight away. Others need coaching, and some will never see it, despite trying. And just as there are varying degrees of being able to work people out for good or to help them, there are those who use it for nefarious purposes and to hold people back. To detect the fears and vulnerabilities in people, the easily led and the ones they can take advantage of, and use those fears against them. Mostly for their own gain, but sometimes just for the meanness of it, because they can. The spiteful type, you know the ones, who carry around so much bitterness and hatred, it seems to ooze out of them and spill over into normal life. There is so much to do, and think about, that there really doesn’t seem time to be hateful towards others. If they have done wrong, swift justice, no more thought. If they are awful, cut them out of your life, no more thought. Do you see a pattern there? Not only do some people waste a big portion of their lives doing something they hate, or being around people they don’t like, that when they do stop being around that, they forget to enjoy things, and keep that hateful attitude. So, they waste more time talking and thinking about something that has passed, and is gone, and is only being kept alive by their want to keep it so. Maybe it becomes so familiar, they don’t know how to leave it behind. Give time and thought to that which deserves it, and take action on that which needs it, and when it comes to interactions with others, work out whether it is you who is giving your time, or if it is someone or something taking it…

A Cube

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

Just a random article about cubes. The films I have listed below for reference, all have a cube as a heavy feature in the storyline. They make me think of other well-ordered geometrical things, like grids and systems, which run off of a power source. I will explain after each one.

Hellraiser (1987) – a puzzle of sorts, a box to be opened and tempt you into hell. But it is a cube with a dark secret, which feeds on human desire, curiosity and deviance, which activate it. So, that is its power source.

Star Trek First Contact (1996), The Borg – their ship is a cube, they search out and assimilate knowledge and other species. And this one runs on a very clear system, with the power source being the Borg themselves integrated with the technology.

The Cube (1997) – a strange film without a backstory given or answer of how or why. But a maze in a cube for unsuspecting occupants, more like a prison with boobytraps and mechanisms, yet still a system and design that serves a purpose.

Transformers – the allspark which was a great power source. Shaped like a cube, and part of the machine world, but still seems relevant here.

Tesseract – in the marvel films, a recurring item throughout the films, is again a cube, this one being an unlimited power source.

We always seem to be looking for the ultimate energy source, and therefore power. I guess it’s no coincidence that the word power is used for batteries, as well as for ruling. Maybe their power comes from us, literally. And when they showed us a field of human battery pods in The Matrix, maybe they weren’t far from the truth. But a cube is an easy shape to imagine, a box. And it’s easy to get stuck in one, mentally perhaps, ‘think outside the box’ they say. Maybe that’s also more than just a metaphor, but to think it’s only in mind keeps you trapped thus so, and is a self-perpetuating loop. Perhaps.

But we are definitely being viewed and treated more as a commodity rather than a consumer, so it makes me wonder if we are the ones now being consumed. Just as we have done with resources, for the system trying to unfold, it switches. We become the resource. And like with all the films mentioned above, there is someone or something behind those cubes, and a need…

Up and Down

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

As people, we aren’t supposed to be robotic, numb and automated. There is something extremely human about feelings and the emotions that often follow. Not that we are always equipped or experienced to know what to with said feelings, but they remain for the most part, as a sometimes-unpredictable constant in our lives. We are at the mercy of our own feelings, and from those of people around us. Ours can be affected by others, just as others can be affected by ours. And I wonder whether people have this in mind at all when they go about their daily lives.

Of course, it can’t have escaped people’s notice that feelings are being cited as weapons in very real situations. But who examines and validates those feelings? Someone else, with feelings. And that’s where things have started to get quite messy. Online and in real life, because those feelings are causing consequences. The action itself is not the cause, otherwise for the most part, everyone would feel the same. Throwing a word or insult is not always the problem, it’s how it’s received. There used to be a saying

“Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me”.

It’s apt isn’t it. And I got its meaning as a kid, and I like to think it’s what has helped me gain slightly thicker skin for petty words, and a better measure of internal stability. Or perhaps it’s because often, I will firstly examine why the person has said what they said, secondly will look at what was said, and then lastly will review its impact on my own thoughts. Maybe other people reach for that first, they react rather than examine. I can’t blame them for that, some people are reactionary.

And I am all for reacting when slighted, or given what I consider good reason to. But that’s part of it isn’t it? What I decide is good reason. And surely everyone is doing the same, reacting to things they believe deserve a reaction. Which is where self-awareness and reasoning skills are important I think. To know and understand really where someone else is coming from, can help to form an appropriate response. And it will be different for everyone, feelings, thoughts and identity are very personal and individual, and usually based on experience. That’s why ‘following the crowd’ more often than not is a bad thing, because you don’t know the real intention, motives or mindset. You never will as part of a large group, it’s the nature of it.

Being you, with your thoughts and feelings is important, and knowing how you came to have them. That doesn’t mean you can’t be part of something, but be wary of something that wants to ‘absorb’ you into their fold, it usually starts with trying to celebrate your individualism, because it appears it will bring them something. And it does. It brings them you, because a group needs energy and ideas to sustain itself, and often I’ve seen how it becomes its own monster, swallowing all in its path of self-fulfilment. I guess the internet and social media are no different. In the virtual world or real life, they behave the same.

But being able to play on feeling, use them against people and manipulate situations with them, means it is becoming more and more important to understand what kind of a role they play. I may work on logic and reason, but I actually take feelings into account when making those decisions. Knowing when to indulge them, override them or utilise them can put you in good stead for an easier life. And knowing how to guard yourself against others using them as a weapon against you is of paramount importance. Gaslighting is a term we shouldn’t have, yet many are familiar with it, and the government itself has given us a prime example of it recently, my article Nudge Nudge mentions that a bit more. And while in some respects, I have time for people’s feelings, and will care greatly about how they are impacted, that will soon disappear if it becomes apparent that person is either taking the piss, or trying to gain an advantage by wielding those feelings. So, we have a fine line that we all walk, in ourselves and with others, and learning to have some social cohesion relies on people understanding that there is a line, and a point where some things will not be entertained. Just not everyone will give you a heads up or warning about where that line is, and maybe you won’t even know in yourself, until the moment someone or something crosses it. But they do say, once you cross that line, there is no going back…

And The Purpose Is?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 4 Comments

There is much being talked about to do with boats, migrants, hotels, handouts and where exactly this all leads. So, I’ll do a point by point review of what I think the issues are, from a practical and logical view.

A staggering influx – if we are to believe the actual numbers (they lie a lot so sometimes you have to remember to adjust for that), they are quite shocking for a small island. But it’s not that people coming here is the problem in itself. It’s the method being used to get here, and the strange constant allocating of resources for them, with what appears to be ‘no strings attached’. Well, we know that’s usually never the case, the hidden small print will come back to bite you eventually. There’s no free ride covers that a bit. But it would appear, that for whatever reason, native people are being thrown into the gutter, while unknowns from anywhere are being put above them. It’s obvious and calculated, as is the response when it’s pointed out. You must be racist, or a bigot, or selfish. And I’m sure there are those who may indeed have those ideals behind their thoughts. But on the whole, it’s just a clear-cut scenario of being pushed out of the way by your own government, while they try to fall over themselves to ‘provide for refugees’. Like a spouse ignoring their partner who they are contractually obliged to be loyal to, to fawn over another person, right in their face. You’d expect them to be a bit pissed off, wouldn’t you?

Creating the problem – I won’t deny, there have been some awful warfare campaigns that have played out over the last few decades. Creating vast numbers of refugees that it seems have then been further used as pawns in political strategies. Displacement has been encouraged and a theory on that covered in On the ground, but generally it gives them the human leverage they need to destabilise areas of communities. And why would you want to do that you may ask? We’ll get to that.

Hotels – again I have written about this in Hotel California or Hotel Strategy, but it’s clear to see something is going on. Block booking of hotels, some incredibly posh ones too at 4 and 5 stars, so they can accommodate anyone who rocks up without any form of ID. Which does seem odd don’t you think? After a 100 years of passports, and border control, for some reason as they near a digital ID system, they suddenly don’t care if you arrive by water stealthily, or by way of naval taxi. (Which also makes me think they literally could be coming from anywhere, you might be thinking Europe or Africa, I’m thinking somewhere more secret and hidden and underground, but that’s one of my ‘wild theories’). But back to the hotels, by putting them there, you do a number of things, firstly you remove that Hotel from being a tourist location, meaning no tourists, less holiday locations, less people spending money. Secondly, it concerns and annoys lots of locals and natives as they then know groups of young men with a different mindset loitering will become commonplace. Thirdly, they appear to sacking most of the staff once these people are in, so it’s a lose lose for locals and the wider communities. And the extra kicker is, the government gloat in telling us how much of our money they are using to pay for others entire lifestyles. (Oh and in the same breath telling you how there’s no money! Fucking cheek of it).

The cost – as I mentioned above, taxpayers money is what’s being used to pay for all this. Well, that and lots of debt for said taxpayers and their children, and their grandchildren. A minimum of £5million a day they say. A day! It’s shocking really when you add up how much they have stolen from the people in the last few years (and a lot longer I’m sure). But billions here, billions there, chuck some for a ‘war’, here’s some more for ‘test and trace’. All the while letting local resources go to shit. If you keep chucking a cup around, it’s going to crack or break. And if you then keep trying to pour into it, there will be an overspill. That’s where we are. The cup is already cracked and chipped, and they seem hell bent on smashing it and chucking it away. We’ll end up like all those bits of old pottery they always find in archaeological digs. The last remnants of what once was. Because the cost is in more than just financial and monetary terms, it’s costing people’s time, emotions, finances and in some cases, their lives.

Destabilising – as I mentioned above, it seems to be destabilising of communities they are after, the ones that are still left at least. And I don’t blame immigration for the breakdown in society, its values or ideals. It’s the mechanisms which seem to put that movement of people in place. It’s not natural and isn’t ever allowed to run its course properly or find its own way. With borders, rules, regulations and so on, they create devastating results. Many famines could have been avoided if people were allowed to relocate, or the land hadn’t been stripped by industry. It seems we create our own problems as people, but that’s not a shocking revelation now is it. It’s been seen time and again, and now is no different.

But what is different is how they all now seem to converge. Bringing together orchestrated mayhem. They get multiple birds with one stone I feel with all of the above. They get to screw over the local areas and population, while manipulating the newcomers as stooges. Allowing it to reach boiling point. There is a simple video of ants online, in a jar. Red ants, and black ants, and they are managing OK alongside each other quite well. Until a person comes in and gives the jar a good shake, then sets it down again. Now the ants aren’t so happy side by side, angered and activated, they begin to fight each other. If you don’t get it, we are the ants, and the government is the one shaking the jar. There being an outcome to that seems inevitable…

Nature or Nurture?

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

It’s not a new question by any means, and I have heard it used on many occasion, having given it much thought myself to general life, people and environments. And for the most part, it seems to end up being a combination of the two, part of each becomes us.

But for this article, it is in relation to what we have come to know as ‘serial killers’. It seems there has been much sensationalising of them, their crimes and personalities. People make careers off the back of them sometimes, laws can be changed and society can be altered in certain ways from those events. A great focus has been put upon them now and again, in the media of course, because in your everyday life and dealings, you wouldn’t know of them ordinarily, even if you fell foul to one, you wouldn’t know for sure there were others, so you would still be none the wiser.

Some cases are very famous, and last with us to this day. But there is a new conspiracy theory emerging, and may have been around for a while I don’t know, that there is cause to believe there has been a gender inversion program running for decades. And that many if not all of the highest profile ‘beloved celebrities’ are in fact the opposite gender they are purported to be. Firstly, I will look at what advantage that may serve, I don’t like to dismiss anything until I give it a thorough check through, even if at at first, it might sound quite preposturous. So, the advantage would be, possibly, is to manufacture a certain look and insecurity in people. How women used to say the unrealistic body shapes being put forward gave society an odd craving to be something they can’t – cue eating disorders and unhappy self-image on a scale never seen before. The modelling industry and marketing did that, because it them sold them lots of products. It appeared that very slim statuesque women were hailed as pin ups, as what men want. They say it is in the shoulders and hands you can usually tell if someone is male or female, but what we have seen of late, is that with drugs and surgery, much can be done to alter the body shape, face, voice, etc to give the impression of the ‘perfect’ look. So what used to be a visual marker is no longer, if it ever was. Which makes me think this goes back much further than just the last few decades. And at some point, with all the technology we have, it would have been noticed. That the strange elite practice of inverting what is normal for purpose, would be exposed perhaps.

You may be thinking, what does this have to do with serial killers? Well, my reasoning wandered to the idea that they would sometimes like people to think there were serial killers, an individual that is so cunning and crafty they are somehow just go mostly under the radar, and evade capture for the longest time, yet they are a depraved loser. Makes no sense. But going down in history and being notorious thereafter. And it may be that one person (or two in some), in all those cases did indeed commit all those crimes, and just so happen to not get caught by police, or slip up. Yet it all comes together when they are. Seems quite convenient in many cases, as if someone sat down and wrote how it was going to go, who was going to be the murderer, who would be the victims and so on. Because it is easy enough for there to still be actual victims, in fact, in my mind they are essential to it working, and the reason it does. And here is where it crosses over, into the psyops category. To create the feeling desired, you do need to have an event, and a fallout. But an orchestrated one, where a certain number of players know the game, some don’t. A false flag event i guess it’s called. And many people think you either fake an event, or it’s real. But I believe there is an in-between, where it’s both a set up, and real to the people on the ground experiencing it. Like advertising, everybody knows that the person endorsing the product doesn’t really use it, they are paid to say they like it, and people then go and buy it based on that. Same principle. So, whether it is a serial killer, or elite gender inversion, or any of the far-fetched and outrageous ‘conspiracy theories’ you may come across, always ask, what would be the benefit of making it look like this were happening, and it might not always be the case. But in some cases, it just might…

A Certain Type Of Person

~ MKW Publishing ~ 5 Comments

A new type of person has emerged from all this, in fact, two types, and it is now time to see if they can or will ever ‘be normal’ again. Because aside from the societal changes that have taken place, and they threaten us with new ones every day (travelling, driving changes, electricity charges, green green green blah blah blah etc), some people’s personality and behaviour seem irreparable now. On both sides. The ones who so casually stepped in line with totalitarianism, and those who did not. But the effect of that is far-reaching, and a lasting one at that.

It does quite simply seem as if people have taken leave of their senses and have no intention of returning to them. Maybe they have gone too far in mind, fear changing them beyond recognition. I did an article called Sensing Fear which maybe is relevant there.

People are right though when they say there is No Going Back, because there isn’t. There never was. It was part of the ruse to get it all to carry on as much as they needed. With the phrase ‘the new normal’ being touted at every early turn. That wasn’t by accident, it was clever wording to make people think it would be like before, but better. We all know the other phrase used ‘build back better’ to solidify the psychological meaning. Pretending we can go back to keep everyone calm. I knew then it was over, life as we know it or knew it. It may be staggering on physically with some semblance of before, but mentally and emotionally, everything is different now. And it is a disappointment being honest. We, humans, society and technology, had so much potential for good and enlightenment. But I feel we have squandered it and allowed it to be misused and mistreated and the collective will now have to bear the brunt of it. Because even if we didn’t invent or introduce these things personally, we are all part of it and will all suffer for it and from it.

We are split now, and we aren’t all the same. Some have been tampered with beyond repair and changed forever. Emotionally, mentally, and for some, physically. Moving in on top of that is financial instability and, in some cases, medical damage. It’s more than just ideas, looks, and feelings that separate us. It’s something fundamentally deeper that has been laid bare recently. Basic trust in your kin, fellow man, and wider community has taken a huge hit. But I realise this still doesn’t break us all down, because we could carry on despite this, and find a way to partially heal the rifts that have been revealed with time and counsel. But not unless we are left to it and alone to find our own way through. The ‘powers that be’ do not seem willing to step back through in any way, and instead feed a continuous drip of problems, drama and issues down the pipeline to keep it up in the air.

We have a building issue of justice needing to be served, not just for the very real reason of being held accountable, but because it gives a bit of closure, for everyone. Guilt is something that seems to have passed many by, despite their role in causing very serious life harms to people, and continuing to do so. In fact, revelling in their new found ‘limelight’ in some cases, making vast amounts of money and seeming as if they are untouchable with little or no conscience whatsoever. But it goes all the way from the top to the bottom, and that is what has really been revealed. Not the cruelty of humans, or the terrible actions of a faceless corporation or a fake politician, because of those things we were already aware. But it showed how many people’s friends, family and colleagues not only couldn’t read the room or listen to reason, but they also then actively engaged in bullying and hurtful conduct. And even people slightly further outside that group, extended interactions like doctors and shop keepers, law enforcement and other public facing roles, all jumped on the bullying band wagon. Which shows that these traits were already there, firmly as part of their personality, but just hadn’t maybe had the opportunity to be so staunch with it. There would have been give away signs that they were already like it, but given the right environment, all sorts of behaviour can flourish, and it’s not always good behaviour that shines through.

But the ones who were cast aside, shunned and excluded rightly are not pleased at being treated so, and aren’t just rolling over on this, despite the fact that it may appear that it would help things ‘move forward’ as people have put it. My other article Self-Preservation has gone into the motivations of the ones who seem so quick to just move on and quickly put it away. It must be uncomfortable to see such an ugly side of yourself, and everyone else saw it too. Some people, though, seem to have completely missed any feeling or compassion, though, in understanding how their seeming cruel nature has affected others, which unfortunately goes hand in hand with having a nature such as that. Cold, uncaring, hurtful people are everywhere and always were, and in most situations in life, you might not even notice as they have worked out how to show just enough of what appears to be genuine emotion, and who knows, it might even be genuine. But it is somewhat limited and can’t quite fully engage with or understand a fully functioning emotional human being, often resorting to bullying, tantrums, aggression, psychological games etc to try and get through what should be a normal person to person interaction. They aren’t able to be on the same level, so use the tactics they are familiar with to try and keep it at their level, where they are comfortable and feel in control. Sad, but seems to be true from what I have observed. In times like these it really is important to know who is going to be on your side, by your side and in your way.

Sensing Fear

~ MKW Publishing ~ 3 Comments

Fear, I have written about it a number of times and having seen it have such consequences when used in a group setting in real life, felt it needed revisiting. Previous articles about it will list at the end of the post.

Olfactory, perception and senses. All these things work together to give us a sense of our surroundings, so we can assess our personal situation at hand. I guess for safety and opportunity. We do interpret those signals received differently as people, and will react differently to those responses. So, imagine that they all aren’t working together anymore, to give you that realistic sense of surroundings. Perceptions have been altered, senses have been numbed by way of medications and ‘mother’s little helper’ as they say. And the olfactory? Well for some that was willingly relinquished by wearing a mask and covering one’s face. Which made me think at the time, people were helping to limit their ability to use their senses. It’s funny really when you think of the saying ‘taken leave of your senses’, because it really does seem like that occurred. Could it be partially because they had? Also, we saw a distinct lack of common sense, something that is taken for granted and is joked about these days, the fact that it isn’t so common after all. But what does it mean, to have a common sense? We are led to believe it’s about being down to earth and grounded, and common, being then associated with being poor, or lower class. ‘Have a bit of common’ they say, and they are right. To me it’s just rational and logical thought, nothing to do with class, but interesting how words and meaning can make people not notice something. Terms are being redefined before our eyes these days, so good to know what things actually mean, and use your own common sense to see or know when something isn’t right.

Another fear that was used and played out, visible for many to see, was a fear of missing out and of being judged. Playing on people’s social weaknesses and personal wants to sway them. Cheap and obvious tactics I thought, but they appeared to work. With promises of travel, special rights, ice-cream, doughnuts and stickers many stepped up. Then they had to threaten to take those things away from people, no travel, no socialising, no seeing loved ones, to bring more fear into people’s lives and thoughts, using more emotive lures to get people on board. Still, some followed the pied piper, blinded by the fear of missing out, but from something meaningful as time went on. Then threats and coercion came for the ones who still weren’t playing ball, and they tried ever so hard on them, using livelihoods, family, stability, finances to make them so afraid that would do anything. But knowing that so many stood firm and either didn’t have any fear, or felt the fear and still didn’t go along with it, was a small heart-warming moment in these dark times. Every fibre of some people’s being seemed to be on high alert as soon as the talk of restrictions came in, and knew something was coming. And very quickly it was noticed that something was very much amiss.

And this is where we know that all of those senses, aren’t just for fear, they are for life and awareness. To sense everything around us and what we are. If we aren’t listening to ourselves or understand what our own body and mind is telling us, then we are vulnerable to others taking advantage of that. Medications have all sorts of side effects people don’t really talk about, or even know, for example I was quite surprised to find out that some painkillers actually dampen emotions and empathy, killing all feeling, not just pain, covered in my article Memory, interesting for the other experiments it mentions.

So, our senses have been under attack for quite some times, being numbed and distracted wherever possible. Entertained and medicated to keep us busy and absorbed in a shallow world of their making. With deep under currents of corruption, revealing a very sinister well organised ingrained mentality in many who preside over society in some form. And that is where fear really helps those who seek to control and manipulate others, especially if they have manufactured the reason you are afraid. It gives them the upper hand, to know you are afraid of, because they can tailor triggers and ideas to work on that. Fear can be useful to the individual experiencing it though, and being able to work through it or use it, can be helpful. But in these times of corruption and deception, I really think we should keep our wits about us and stay sharp and if there was ever a time when you needed people to .come to their senses’ it would be now…

Self-Preservation

~ MKW Publishing ~ 5 Comments

It seems that some may have started to realise the magnitude of how deep and sinister this last few years has been. The ones who side-stepped the Russian roulette game must have had a self-preservation instinct which switched on pretty quickly if not right away. To protect your own safety and rights. Others however missed that, and chose instead not only to relinquish their own safety under the guise of health, they also chose to vilify those who didn’t. In some cases, in a very aggressive, abusive and grotesque way, especially as it was done hiding behind the mask (literally) of compassion. That word became laughable in the end, with one sentence they say they want to save people, and with the next they wanted people dead for what they perceived as a lack of respect. And, that’s all it was, perceived. These were not facts, but feelings.

And now we see that some do have a self-preservation drive after all, but one to try and save their reputation or career. To distance themselves from being held accountable for being such an integral part of the hateful and ugly side that showed. Articles and public words now asking for an amnesty on the backlash, people wanting to shy away from their words and actions of the past, however nasty they were, and move on. And I get it, in any other situation I would agree, but only if that person had really understood what it meant. To be that mean and cruel in what appeared to be a crisis, cannot be forgotten, because it changes how people view you thereafter. I did an article called Perceptions of self around how people view themselves and others, and do understand that time and events can change people. But that works both ways. Many are not who they were two years ago, and have seen a side to others that maybe we suspected was there, but once witnessed you can’t go back. And it would appear they still aren’t using compassion, because what they request is at their convenience. As if to say, hurry along now, there isn’t time for you feel wronged, I need to set things right. Therefore, creating another wrong, but some people really are only thinking of themselves and working to their own clock.

So, like I said, I get it. Some want to ‘cover their own arse’ as the saying goes. To get in some damage control and ‘smooth things over’. But accountability is needed here, for so much and so many and still those things continue. The economy is still being trashed and asphyxiated, politicians are still playing with our lives, and still, they vaguely threaten new variants and continue crushing peoples livelihoods and futures. There is no moving forward until it is understood how it all plays its part, and if you can be so easily bought or swayed with the promise of a doughnut or being seen as teachers pet, we all suffer.

The view of media, celebrities, politicians and any high-profile person who endorsed and represented this debacle seems to have changed for many people. Trust in authority is wearing thin, and of people who claim to be able to predict things by way of modelling. The ‘experts’ who also seem to get it so wrong, and hide behind their mask of unaccountability too. It’s maddening, and deeply disappointing. But it’s where we are. Still at the mercy of petty and whimsical fancies, being pawns in a rather odd and sinister idea being played out in real time. It would be great it everyone could come together and fight all the injustices until they are no more. But I believe that time has come and gone my friend…
