Consumerism

I’ve already pointed out how the conveyor of consumerism is now putting us as the product in my article Mark of the Beast. But I started reading an interesting book from the 50’s that was recommended to me and would like to delve further into the concept around it and the marketing of it.

The Hidden Persuaders, by Vance Packard. He’s the author who wrote that special book I refer to a lot, The People Shapers. So thought it was about time I read this one too. It’s about marketing, more specifically the techniques and strategies used since the 50’s to convince us to buy things. Which then took on a new role for many other areas as well, helping to shape how we are today as a society. Although this book is about the US, it can be applied to here as well. I’m only two chapters in, and it’s gold. Covering the use of mass psychoanalysis to guide heavily funded research and campaigns. Within the commercial landscape initially and then increasingly in the political one. I’ll share some key phrases with you.

“What the probers are looking for, of course, are the whys of our behaviour, so that they can more effectively manipulate our habits and choices in their favour”

Very quickly after that line, he mentions it moving from the “genial world of James Turber into the chilling world of George Orwell and his Big Brother”. Indeed, he is correct about that, as we see around us today and especially with that particular book being mentioned a lot. But this next sentence stands out to me

“Another aspect of people’s behaviour that troubled marketers is that they are too easily satisfied with what they already have”.

They were concerned that although business was booming across the board it couldn’t be sustained unless you put more pressure on everyday Americans to consume more. In a 1955 Christianity and Crisis publication they stated

“The dynamics of an ever-expanding system require that we be ‘persuaded to consume to meet the needs of the productive process’.”

So, with over-production threatening, they turned their attention, not to that they might be making to much, no, it was that the people were buying too little. Funny and tragic all at once really. With billions being poured into marketing, the phrase ‘We don’t sell lipstick, we buy customers’ came about. People became a bigger commodity then I realise. But their biggest hurdle it seems at first was that after a time, most people really did have what they need. And if the products were any good, shouldn’t need replacing every year. So, what to do. They went for the idea of creating ‘psychological obsolescence’ to make people feel dissatisfied with what they have and want new. I wonder whether this is how that saying ‘keeping up with the Jones’s’ came from. To encourage you to covet what someone else has, to think they have more, or better and that you too should have it. That’s really raged out of control now, hasn’t it?

We know they use whatever trick they can to get us to buy things, but it isn’t just about the bottom line, or money. It seems to be about controlling the way you think as with an awful lot these days. Bit more sinister than just ‘buy my stuff’ isn’t it?

The Missing Dead

It may seem like a strange thing to think, that we have dead people, that are missing. I don’t mean living people who vanished and are, were presumed dead. I mean the ones who knowingly died, but yet they are absent from the records, or they were removed from the normal decomposition process.

We all know there will always be people unaccounted for, in natural disasters for example many are lost and never recovered, but as we are led to believe, those bodies find their own natural resting place, so do become part of the decomposition process (I’ll abbreviate this to D.C for this as I may use it a lot). Even people that are murdered and buried, although they have been stolen from the living records, they at least become part of the earthly death records as it were.

Mummies – as we all know ancient Egyptians and other civilisations in South America and China preserved lots of their dead, for what ultimate purpose we can’t be sure, but they remain, or at least did. Turns out we had a rather macabre taste in the sixteenth century – called Mummy Brown, a paint. Yes, a paint. We used mummified remains to create a ‘luxurious’ brown paint for artists, completely destroying the remains to do so (human and feline). Which it turns out, most of the artists didn’t actually know where it came from, demand creating an extra market for other corpses when the supply ran low. Slaves and criminals were used instead. Once the artists began to find out what was in this paint though, it changed. They stopped using it, making the sinister trade drop off dramatically, and eventually ‘killing it’ altogether. One famous artist apparently ceremoniously buried his tube of Mummy Brown paint once he knew of its origins, such was the feelings about it at the time.

But, aside from the interesting facts about history and art there, I realised that meant there was a huge number of bodies missing from there, and everywhere, I know we can’t possibly know where all the dead people have been buried. And lots aren’t buried, they are cremated, which I have taken into account. This is only for the ones who were meant to become of that D.C.

Fertilizer – I didn’t realise we used to use the bones of the dead in fertilizer, should have considered it as I know we use other bonemeal as such, but there were times in the not-so distant-past, that we did. Before the trade of guano became a thing in the UK, it was bones that were used to top up the soils for nutrients as the population increased and food resources were stretched. It is said that battlefields would be raided, even graves robbed for the necessary components to be obtained. So, again, lots of people missing from the record.

Now, it isn’t the fact they are missing which is the issue, as I said, many get cremated so aren’t present either, or some are never found, or completely turn to dust. It’s the fact that it means we have an even more incomplete record that I at first thought. There are so many gaps, and holes in the bigger picture we are told is all sewn up and explained. I guess I thought because we had a doomsday book, and taxes, and courts and records for over 1000 years, we knew how many, and what, and how much. But we don’t really, only fragments of the past remain, and the gaps get filled in either by our own imagination, or someone else’s.

The Weight of Food

We know about cutting corners and profits coming first, but a recent video of someone in a supermarket weighing food hits the nail on the head. They grab a bag of courgettes, which say 1kg. Put on the scales, nope. Potatoes, should be 1.5kg, nope. Carrots at 1kg, and three for three. Nope. Seems like just a few grams here and there, but it all adds up.

I thought about bags of pre-packaged food previously, not from a weight perspective I’ll admit, but from a wastage point of view. I don’t eat a huge amount of food, and like fresh food, so used to buy a small amount, weigh it yourself, buy what you need. Then it started changing to plastic boxes of grapes, bags of potatoes and others things bunched and pre weighed, for your ‘convenience’ and to save them money on bags, labels, wastage. All that happened for me though, is I ended up wasting more food as it wasn’t used in time. Paying more for using less, getting us into the swing of things early. Or some people may be compelled to eat more, because there is more, so as not to waste it.

Once you understand they are there to sell you as many and as much as they can, you understand why supermarkets are laid out the way they are, lit the way they are and food packaged the way it is. I am doing an article on Consumerism which touches on the techniques and means by which they have worked out how to get the ‘best out of marketing’. Unfortunately to do that, they had to change the way people think to make that happen. So, rather than tailoring the products to the needs of the people, they started changing the needs of the people to fit the product. Sad really. To change the mentality of millions of people, just because you want to make money and tell them what to do. But that technique did not stay confined to only marketing food, beauty products and homeware. It was quickly adopted by the pharmaceutical industry, education and business. So, to you it might just seem like the odd carrot, or a potato, but it isn’t, it’s continuing the lie that things are fair, prices are good and corporations care about your best interests, healthy eating and lifestyle. They don’t care, they just want you to consume as much as possible and be owned. It’s that simple.

Every day it gets harder

“Every day I am forced to watch the same horror movie about people clamouring for lethal jabs while unaware of the bodies piling up everywhere. Pharma-media propaganda & censorship is so powerful that it can lead people to be complicit in their own demise.” – Pierre Kory MD MPA

Scary isn’t it. For the people watching, and even more so I should imagine for the people who took part in the experimental trial. Although we were all part of the psychological experiment, some of us rather unwilling participants, and others were easily led into handing over their health, safety and sense of security to unknown external forces. It was hard to watch unfold then, knowing where it would lead. But most of that was speculation and was covered from a certain angle in my article Who really knows where it goes, but now we are actually seeing it. What many will dismiss, or don’t want to talk about, but the fallout from this, and one I speculated would occur based on everything I had thought through and discovered. Just as with the mental overload of recent time, a psychological cascade event happened within people’s minds, I theorised that these jabs were programmed to cause a cascade event within your immune system. To crash, replicate and override the current system in place. Because the people who talk of finance and introduce these things, seem rather obsessed with programming, technology and AI. We seem rather outdated to them, and they tell us so.

But the desensitisation of people to a certain extent must be complete, because while they were horrified apparently at video footage of people dropping dead abroad which was used to gather support for lockdown, they seem rather unconcerned about people doing it on live television, or weekly now at sporting events (if not daily). There is also the VAERS reporting yellow card system which was always a marker for concern. Now we have various groups set up across all forms of social media, videos, testimonies, interview, coroners reports, death certificates. Yet nothing. No shock, fear and concern that something is going on after all, just not what you thought. No. Instead, it seems complete mental shutdown, self-denial of the most spectacular proportions has occurred, and a denial of reality. Obliviousness of a new magnitude. That is what is terrifying.

But the ones who have realised that they made a mistake, and a rather big one, are also being overlooked and dismissed in many cases. Ignored by many and gaslit by authorities, adding to their plight. I did suspect they would do that, either to pretend it didn’t happen or to blame the injured for their own injury. “Well, it was your decision, nobody made you do it”. And to a point, that is correct, nobody made them do it, but they were heavily encouraged, coerced, blackmailed and downright lied to in a bid to convince them. So, yes, they were grossly mis-informed, but they thought they had the right information at the time, and unfortunately, listened to the wrong people. Because there were two sides, us ‘crazy’ folk on one side, who seemed wildly hell bent on not going along with the regime, and the other side. The ones who just kept moseying on through and wanting to believe the government and institutions there to ‘protect’ us, were the ones telling the truth. Well, time has told on that one, and now we know for sure who was right.

They are backtracking on data, charts and outcomes. Admitting those ‘crazy’ people were in fact correct on many points all along. Even paying out compensation for said vaccine injuries. Yet, still going ahead with the ridiculousness, as if they are so far gone, they just can’t let it go. They want their digital ID system, they want you hooked up to a central Monitoring system where they can control you and decide what’s best for you. And when I say hook up, I don’t mean in the traditional sense, where you plug in and out like these days. You can still put your phone down and walk away at this point. It is more integration they are looking for, to literally overwrite your current functioning systems, with something new and constantly being watched, monitored, cajoled, herded and ultimately harvested. Whether it be your personal data, your time, your organs, your brain mechanics, your family, your money, your life – they want you, what you are and what you have. And I look around and wonder, did those things really mean so little to so many people in the first place, that they didn’t even recognise that’s what was being taken from them? Or did they just work out what really was at stake when they handed over their mind, body and soul. The whole package for someone else to manipulate, control and benefit from. Disturbing. Especially when you realise when they say ‘what’s best for you’ is the same as ‘for your safety’. It’s for them, for their needs and what’s best for them, and you are either the means to that, or in the way of that, and are being treated accordingly. Best to know which one you are viewed as, and then indeed, act accordingly…

Electric Vehicles

I feel this needs an article of its own. Transport and the ability to travel is also under threat, so thought I would look at the subject and all I have seen so far to make me think it’s a very bad idea for people on the ground, and a great idea for the people who want to exert more control over the populations.

They push it as part of the ‘Green Agenda’, this glossy well packaged idea for the future, which shows green living, happy people, clean cities and everyone smiling. Do not be fooled by the pretty designs and the calming colours, it’s all been managed to appear that way. But as with everything these days, there is a sinister undertone that creeps through. Something I’m not even sure they are trying to hide. So I’ll look at each item that has struck me as an issue as I have come across it.

Extracting the materials for the lithium – It would appear that it is an extremely destructive process to nature and the environment to extract the main component for the batteries, lithium. Leaving massive quarries and canyons in its wake. It looks like something just came and removed a part of the earth. Reminding me slightly of the TET in the film Oblivion. Where they tricked the cloned inhabitants into believing they were using the seawater for hydro energy, and that aliens had ravaged the earth. When in reality, they were the aliens posing as humans to steal our resources.

Cost of vehicle and repairs – It’s been noted by a number of online posts how much the initial outlay is for the vehicles, meaning most are out of normal people’s reach without debt being incurred. And the repairs and replacement parts aren’t cheap, so looks like they would also be offering you some kind of loan for this? Or rental perhaps? All ties in nicely to the new agenda creeping in doesn’t it?

Batteries catching fire – this one being incredibly serious, and if you have seen the online footage of electric buses, cars and bikes catching fire, then you’ll know why. If not, check them out, you should be informed on this. It’s not just a normal fire, once the lithium catches, it’s like a rocket fire, and water only makes it worse. What could possibly go wrong? Also, warning signs have been shown online at multi story carparks saying electric vehicles cannot be parked there for safety reason. I suspect the two things are related.

Electricity rationing – oddly at the same time as they are pushing for everything to go electric, they have increased the price of electricity to unsustainable levels, and said there isn’t enough of it, there may be blackouts and rationing for it. Logic has truly left the building.

Kill switches – this is a very important one, and not many people are even aware of it. They are building kill switches into electric vehicles, and possibly other electric things hooked up to a central point (like smart meters), so they can decide to switch it off if they need to, you know, for safety. Or at least that is always their angle. Drink drivers, car theft, potential accidents that could occur, so all for the ‘safety’ of people, right? It’s going to be standard in America in 2026 they say (article here for more info), so we’ll watch this space and see how long before it is standard.

Maximum radius – so this is the point of the main concern (other than the potential for a fireball death). They have made no secret of wanting to disrupt every area of our lives, and the ability to travel freely is one that appears to be high on the agenda. Because if we can travel freely and unchecked, they can’t control us. Which is why it seemed so odd to me that we had a Schengen Agreement, when I believed they didn’t really want us to have any freedom like that. But I guess my theory now is, they allowed all that openness, so they could manoeuvre their chess pieces into play.

Slight tangent, but I learnt an interesting twist about Vlad Dracula the other day, and of his historical act of impaling thousands of people, it says he did this because although they appeared just as ‘traders’, he believed them to be an invading force sending in thousands of pawns to dilute the communities and weaken the cities, paving the way for the full invasion. So, he killed all of them. Therefore, when you think of this as a game of chess, and it being about strategy, timing and a great deal of forethought, it becomes easier to see why they do things. By restricting how much petrol you can buy, or how long your battery stays charged, or if your car can move, they get to decide where you can go, when you can go, if you can go. And if you only use public transport, then you will be slightly accustomed to these rules already, and maybe that is why they made it so inefficient, so they already have many people in that frame of mind, only on a set route and track, no deviating, you arrive when they decide.

It seems they want us to have a limited space available to us, and to believe the world is a lot smaller and overcrowded than it is. Be in a strip of a city, the new thing being built apparently, where everything you need is all within 20 minutes, entirely enclosed it seems, and very restricted and weird. Or maybe not to some people. The wheels appear to be coming off this agenda before it’s even been rolled out, so who knows what the ultimate plan really is with it, we shall see…

The Blame Game

I am not here to ever defend the actions of the departments of the government, but I do believe in apportioning blame where it is due, and looking at the facts. The article that made me write this was of the unfortunate passing of a young lady, and the article is being shown as if it is the DWP at fault, for hounding her for years and that she dies of starvation after having her benefits removed, article here.

There have been a few incidents of these types of articles and unfortunate people, but when I take the time to read the article, something else jumps out at me, that makes me realise that the departments of government people expect to have sorted this aren’t entirely to blame, it’s a shared event.

For this particular one, I was surprised to read that she had family, although it was the police who found her weeks after death. They say she was living on a sandwich a day, because she told her mother so. Okay, so family were in regular contact, and knew she wasn’t eating enough? She wasn’t physically disabled, or mentally impaired, but had mental distress issues, and had her own place – although was obviously a struggle to maintain, and get constant funding for it from said various departments of government.

Then, further into the read, it says she had aspirations of owning a bungalow to do up, and was worried about the small amount of savings she had. So, hang on a minute. She had money, but didn’t want to use it, she had family, but they didn’t want to help her, she wasn’t completely incapable, but wouldn’t help herself? Am I missing something? I am all for having sympathy and seeing the injustice, but in an applicable situation. So, as I read on through the article, it struck me as odd that all the blame was being put on the DWP and other public services, who have a shocking record of abandoning people who they should have been there for, I won’t deny. But in this situation, I guess I am asking myself why the family didn’t make sure she was eating enough? Why weren’t they visiting regularly to check in, or help to sort them out in some way, by some means? Have we completely abandoned the idea of family and community so much, that we now only look to and expect the government and institutions and their insidious branches to solve every issue, want, need, crisis and experience of our lives? It is a tragedy that a young life not yet fulfilled is cut short, by any means. But even more so not to recognise all the failures that led to it. It seems they are often used as a weapon to throw mud at something, rather than really make sure that doesn’t happen again. Maybe one day, we will learn.

That’s Not Cricket

Mainly because it’s a grasshopper, but only in its solitary mode. Once it activates and becomes gregarious, then it becomes a locust. I had no idea they were the same species that transforms into an eating machine and become a ‘plague’ when the conditions are right. It would seem there have been some odd occurrences in the past, recent past in the bigger scheme of things, which stand out as a bit odd. And recently having seen a number of articles about factories being built to accommodate their drive to breed crickets for consumption, got me thinking in my usual way of linking together a train of thought and seeing where it goes.

This one leads me to a very wild conspiracy theory, with nothing to go on other than a single idea. That they have no intention of us having to eat bugs at all, but that they are strategically building lots of factories for bugs for two reasons. Firstly, they could cause a devastating plague by ‘accidently’ releasing them or having an incident by which they escape, in a large enough number to cause issue to any remaining crops there are in the normal population. And secondly all those extra insects can deal with us if there happens to be lots and lots of unexpected deaths. Too much for the average services. Maybe they don’t want to keep burying people, so that will be the new way. Feed the dead to insects, and then feed the insects to the living. A very creepy food chain idea.

But there have been some notable events surrounding these insects. You may be familiar with Egypt being the host for the most famous of all, the biblical plague of locusts. Another caught my attention though, of more recent times. In the US there have a number of incidents involving the Rocky Mountain locust, which decimated crops and grew to epic proportions between 1873-1877. Oddly, it ‘just went extinct’ around 1902, just like that.

There was another locust swarm through mid-west America in 1931, which seems to be around the great depression time and was caused by the drought/dust bowl scenario they say, making the conditions perfect for the grasshoppers to morph into locusts. Displacing nearly 4 million Americans who headed towards California, it is also said that Canada experienced a similar incident that year, leading to unemployment camps being built for the men who couldn’t find jobs, but could work hard labour for a dollar a day. Someone benefitted there, as someone always inevitably does from disaster.

But I never just take anything on face value, and although it may well be as they say, I’ll also look at the other possibilities and options. And there seems to be an ulterior motive for most things being introduced these days, so I think it is correct to question it. Or as they are quite fond of telling you one thing while doing the exact opposite, so if you apply that logic, suddenly things are very different from how they first appeared.

Strange as well how one of the news reports I read, mention them just falling from the sky, seems there have been other events and odd things to look into…

The Mark of the Beast

This title really shouldn’t surprise anyone who has been paying attention. It’s coming, at first through what looked like benign offerings of technology to make life easier. Covered in Convenience, or dependence? But this is more than that, this is an intrusion into our bodies, to make us literally part of their system, no longer a consumer or mere bystander, but assimilated with it.

It seemed for the longest time, the barcode was the representation of the mark of the beast, as told in the bible, that no man shall buy or sell, lest he have this mark. Each product mostly has to have a barcode these days, but you can still trade without it. So, maybe money was the mark then, without that you cannot buy or sell? But you can, because you can still barter and trade with goods, eliminating the money in the transactions altogether, just like the good old days.

What they really seem intent on though, is eliminating people being part of a normal daily transactions, apart from the buying and consuming bit. A conveyor of customers that you can just scan – do you not see the correlation? They scan barcodes of products to keep track of them, and process them through a database of transactions for the purpose of analysis. Usually for the purpose of continued marketing, i.e., are people buying that product, how much do we need, re-ordering etc. So put yourself now as that product, with your inserted chip and barcode tag, slight upgrade from your national security number, although it will be tied to it, integrated with your digital ID. Once you start on that conveyor belt, you don’t actually know where it goes do you? And as they scan more people and analyse the data, they will adapt those systems for said requirement, but as the algorithm interprets them, from a robotic and sterile viewpoint. There will be minimal interaction with other people, unless they too are part of the conveyor. I know a little we’ve all secretly dreamed of having a shop to ourselves, or wishing that the people would be replaced by machines so we didn’t have to talk to anyone, or smile, or be polite, because sometimes we just aren’t feeling it. But on the flipside, how many have just popped to a shop to be able to see and be around people, when maybe you aren’t in the best place in your life. We used to joke about GP surgeries being full all the time because old people needed someone to talk to, so they would be there. Not anymore obviously, but the point being, that people need other people for the most part.

Once you are in the system though, by way of boimetrics, facial recognition and digital I.D, it will be very hard for you to be in control of your own life and make your own decisions. And maybe you struggled with those things anyway and welcome the new way that is coming, but the majority do not seem to be on board, not voluntarily anyway. So, they are trying very hard to coerce, blackmail and manipulate people into accepting their ‘access systems’, where they get to decide what, where, who and when. It can seem scary I know to be responsible for yourself, your whole life and decisions, but what is even scarier, is the thought of some else doing it all for you, throughout your entire life. The parent that just won’t let go, or ever let you leave home, and needs to know what you are doing all the time, and decides when you can and can’t do things, decides what you eat, if you can work etc. We used to call that controlling and abusive, but for some reason because it is the face of a corporation doing it, people seem fine with it. And because they want to do it to everyone, that seems ok to for many, just shocking. Behind these corporations are people, greedy manipulative people who are used to getting their own way and when they jump, they pay people to say how high. That’s who wants to be in charge of your life, and little by little they are being let in through the front door, being invited, just as a victim needs to invite a vampire into their home to give them extra powers, it seems to be the case here. So, all I can advise, is that people don’t be so willing to be a product on the conveyor of consumerism, because just as those things you used to scan were useful to you, you become useful to someone else, you just won’t know why yet…

Convenience or Dependence?

In the midst of this ‘energy crisis’, they feel it necessary to tell you every day you won’t be able to afford things, this and that will be cancelled, what is the most expensive appliance to run and so on.

So, I will take a look at that idea and break it down. Again, I have spent years giving thought to and researching social history and how things came to be the way they are, and indeed, how were they before. I’ll talk about obvious ones so you know what I mean.

Washing Machines and Microwaves. Both became mainstream before I was born, but were still rather pricey as I was growing up. We didn’t have a washing machine for years (or indeed a microwave), instead had to go for trips to the laundrette with my mum, getting to sit and watch all sorts of people doing their domestic chore in public. Then we had a twin-tub machine, where after it was washing, you had to hoist over the heavy wet washing into the spinner section. Then being able to rent one became a thing, and my mum rushed to get her first proper washing machine, and every week we went to the shop with the rental card to pay our instalment, sometimes just me going. Seeing how, for what looks like a little amount consistently, you can have something big. Although once I learnt of the interest charges and length of time on these things, I realised where the money was in it as a business, and it was for the people renting these appliances out.

Both washing machines and microwaves entering the household on a normal basis meant a big change to the dynamic of said household. And one I didn’t really appreciate at first, and probably not really for a long time even after I was aware. It changed time. Suddenly women, and any domestic men at the time, had more time on their hands and I didn’t realise why I hadn’t thought of it. The amount of time it used to take to complete certain manual chores was much more than today, so if you are spending all day cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping etc, that’s a whole day. But no more. You can have all that done within a couple of hours now, just by filling up a few machines and pressing a button or two. And maybe some loading/unloading. Minimal interaction and movement seem to be the point of these things. Which is great, if as a person, you have limited mobility or dexterity, but for the average person, why would you want something or someone doing everything for you if you are perfectly capable? Unless you have something else you need or want to be doing, and that is where it got interesting to me. Because it seems that people need tasks and something to do, without anything but boredom we usually find ourselves out of sorts and naturally gravitate towards self-destruction in some cases. Some are content perhaps to just sit with their thoughts on an ongoing basis, which may possibly be as inactive as they are. The majority however, would rather be doing something, with their time, energy and resources. But those three things have been commandeered and are not entirely within our control anymore.

They helped to make certain things affordable as it was cost effective to them, cut down time on the need to be in the home, more workers to join the workforce. It’s a win win for them. More industry, more taxes, more consumerism. But what of the lose lose for us? Less time with friends and family, less money because they increased the cost of things, so two incomes in a household didn’t make it any better for many. And more consumerism had led to a greedy throwaway attitude, which has unfortunately extended from the inanimate objects to people. They are now often viewed as expendable and replaceable, while constantly mentioning we will be obsolete. We were useful to build things for them that would be useful to replace us, and build better things for them.

Weirdly though, it seems we have allowed ourselves to become obsolete in this, by becoming so dependent on all the gadgets and devices they have installed into our lives, and finances. People start to forget how to do the manual things, things by hand, using your own initiative and strength.

And each of those devices have a cost, both to our sense of purpose as noted above and as purported by a certain henchman of the overlord, and there is also a cost in monetary terms. And we are seeing the finances laid bare of how much it really costs to live in their world of ‘convenience’, where that word is now being redefined too, because they are the ones who decide how much these cost, and they make vast amounts of money through it. They tied you in with meters for the electricity, hive systems now which require more batteries each year to maintain than I have ever known in my life, just to be able to adjust something from an app, which I don’t have or use. I can use my hands to turn a dial just as much as i can use them push a button, but turning the dial didn’t used to cost anything. The phones which require power and cost to run, the internet which require power and a contract, TV licenses, taxes, fees, bank charges, service subscriptions, etc.

Strip that all back, quite recently as well, and there was none of that, ‘convenience’ or cost – covered in my article There was a time before, people didn’t have each area of their daily life intruded upon in the grotesque fashion it is today, but the small implementations towards it were. And so has the social engineering to make it so. They made it so that they were your parent, caregiver and warden throughout your whole life, from ‘Cradle to Grave’ as the idea went in The Beveridge Report, as they say, all things start with good intentions. And whether it was with good intention or has been made to look that way is past the point, because this is where we are now, with the results in full swing. The idea was planted in people’s minds that they would be looked after from birth to death. It seems that post war posed a unique opportunity for a new social order, having brought everyone together under the banner of a ‘shared event’ (I will go into that further in another post).

So, I ask you, do all these devices and systems really seem that convenient after all? And what they propose for the future – further systems, log-ins, implants, chips, targets, restrictions and procedures, all dependant on electricity and you being part of the consumer conveyor belt that feeds their lives. And there is where we find we actually have a co-dependency happening, a symbiotic relationship we don’t really want, but they require. Almost like those parasitic insects that need to keep their host alive to be able to live and survive themselves. Which is why they maybe want us to think that we are so disposable, and expendable, constantly hearing news that we are ‘no longer required’ for the future, it can be done without us. Almost sounds like when someone is afraid you will leave, and they say you will never be happy without then, you’ll never cope without them, but inevitably, we always do. That does not mean we always will, but it should be noted and recognised when appropriate.

People are stronger than they know, and are more important than they realise. To minimise that existence is a cruelty in itself added to all the others heaped unnecesarily upon us. We create our own reality they say and currently are allowing that to be highjacked by the darkest type of vision. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if we don’t want their cold, sterile, monitored digital prison that appears to be coming, then we better get on it and start constructing our own future reality, right now.
