A Raw Deal

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

Kids are getting a real raw deal at the moment. It’s relentless. The most recent two things, firstly, in Wales they are looking to ban children under 16 from buying tea and coffee. Apparently because of obesity and sugar intake, but completely not mentioning the energy drinks laden with chemicals and sugar they have been pushing and encouraging for years. The second is about a secondary school somewhere in the UK deciding that for summer, boys can wear skirts if they don’t want to wear trousers, to be more inclusive. No shorts allowed. I’m outraged on their behalf as I hated not being allowed to wear trousers at school, we had to wear tights in the winter if our legs got cold, end of. And this seems similar, if you are too hot, wear a skirt, end of. But what are they really doing it for? Surely if it was about being inclusive, you would have choice for all. Trousers, skirts or shorts, for all. Is it just to make waves? Or do they really just want children to feel weird, and pressured, and restricted by bizarre rules and regulations? It says the parents are not happy about it, but I would like to know what the kids think.

They seem to have been dealt a weird blow over the last few years, and it shows no signs of letting up or normalising anytime soon. Their future has been impaired beyond belief from my view, not only have they had to contend with constantly changing rules and regulations around their homelife, school life and socialising, but they are being conditioned to know it can be disrupted at any time thereafter. And we see how the powers that be seem awfully focused on getting children to partake in the experimental jab doing the rounds, bribing them through offers of ice-cream, cinema tickets, calling them ‘superheroes’ on posters, all very telling and obvious. Or not, because not all do see it. They still think the system is there to help. But to the rest of us it appears they are being groomed. That is another word that will pop up later in the article, and with good reason.

It seems to be a new world, and it sure isn’t a brave one. It’s one where some adults seem quite obsessed with exposing children to adult themes and concepts, without them having the experience or emotional maturity to understand them. Children can be very impressionable, and how they interpret things is not like an adult would at all, as well it also depending on what age they are being exposed. What may affect someone profoundly at one age, could have just passed them by if only a few years later. It helps to mould, shape and influence them. It strikes me as easier to manipulate people if they are worried and confused, either by what or who they are, leads to uncertainty and insecurity. And one that requires an authorative body to ‘help’ to solve that uncertainty and issues around it, so we are led to believe. But what if that authorative body had an ulterior motive, and not your best interests at heart? They don’t want to see you happy and adjusted to life, because then they wouldn’t be needed. At all. If we understood we are capable of looking after ourselves and each other, the ‘ruling elite’ would be surplus to requirement. And they know it.

Grooming. Here is where I will revisit that word, it should hold meaning in the UK (and far beyond I’m sure) it has been an issue in this country for decades and only a few people have tried to sound the alarm on it for a while. The media have finally and very unwillingly picked up the story, of thousands of children across the country in various towns, mainly female we are told, being coerced and abused on a shocking scale. But what is even more shocking, is how the authorities have completely turned a blind eye. ALL of them. Social services, media, police, councils, churches, politicians, teachers, business owners to name but a few. Why? Because they don’t want to be seen as racist apparently or inflame local tensions. Because if they were talking about the problem, it would highlight very clearly it is a cultural one, that predominately it is men of Pakistani origin or background. One can only assume that a number of people in authority were also involved as it appeared to suit their purpose very much to keep it all ticking over. I’m in my 40’s now, but knew as a teenager you didn’t want to get too friendly with the blokes that ran the local Indian restaurant. They encouraged young people to stay after hours, offering drinks and smokes. A ‘friendly’ place to hang out when the doors are locked. Although I was 18 at the time, as was my friend I was with, it didn’t feel right and I didn’t want to stay, so we left and I didn’t go back. And it may have been nothing at the time, and not what I thought, but I didn’t want to risk it. I’ve known for a long time that the ruling establishment is not there to help, protect or save us, but they want you to think they are. Now it has become more obvious than ever that their intentions are not entirely admirable, and if anything, are really quite sinister towards all of us, adults and children alike.

I’m not sure what kind of education young people would do well to learn these days, but I’m giving it thought. They are changing the goalposts of life very quickly and where one would normally be able to think years ahead (or even months), it has been hampered. But what once was no longer is, and what is will no longer be. A new time is coming…

They Are Vampires, But Not As You Know It

~ MKW Publishing ~ 7 Comments

It isn’t by accident we think of a bloodsucking Dracula, or Nosferatu, or more modern renditions like blade, or twilight when the word vampire is mentioned. They can only prowl at night (apart from the day-walker concept in blade of course), an aversion to garlic, holy water etc. The origin of a vampire type entity seems to go way back to an ancient Egyptian god called Sekhmet. Having such an extreme lust for blood after almost wiping out all of humanity, she was then tricked by Ra using blood coloured alcohol to lure her in. And after getting drunk, she stood down and peacefully left humans alone. How that one hasn’t been made into a movie, I don’t know, but seems to qualify as a vampire by the original standard.

But what if a vampire is a good description for them. Only they steal and drain your energy instead of blood? (And in some cases, may actually have a requirement for blood talked about in More like us than we would like). I used to refer to people as social vampires when coming home from being out during my sociable years, and rather than feeling energised and like you had had a good time, it was the opposite. And after narrowing it down, realised it was certain people who would contribute to that feeling, and others that did the opposite. But on a bigger scale, if you realise your energy is being taken from you by people using various methods, two things should be considered. 1) Where does the energy go and what for? 2) Who or what needs it?

Another thing that started to make me think of the real concept of vampire, is the incessant need for people to volunteer for things that appear to give away their freedom or soul. You must consent. You must be a volunteer, rather than a victim. They need you to invite them in, I am not sure why, but it seems to be a theme that you have to sell your soul willingly, it can’t just be taken. Is that why we have that saying ‘selling your soul’, because it does indeed represent something quite real and tangible? Perhaps. So much that was once foolish to consider, now seems almost perilous not to. There is so much at stake here (no pun intended), we can’t afford to not cover all bases. And maybe their new digital ID travel method they would like to roll out, which requires a drop of your blood for screening, has another purpose. As if they are looking for something and testing the DNA of everyone hasn’t yielded the results they were after, so they have to find another way to monitor and find what they want. That shall remain to be seen.

I will continue to think through what may seem ridiculous and far-fetched. Pulling together ideas, plot lines and theories and putting them out there. But it should be clear to many that we are in danger, individually and as a group, and should have our wits about us and senses on alert. Who knows what is really going on and coming up, but it can’t hurt to consider it all.

Writing the next story

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

I’m not sure whether this is a hyperphantasic thing, or just being a writer thing. I tried to describe what it’s like to my husband when I’m trying focus on one thing to write. He finds it strange that I don’t do more of it, and that when I do I seem to get rather perplexed sometimes. So I broke it down as follows.

Its like having a multiple television channels all in my head, and there are episodes and films on each one, some of them short stories, some full length films. What’s frustrating is not being able to chose which channel it stops on, and not being able to keep it on that one. I explained it would be annoying if the remote control kept changing channel half way through a programme or after the first ten minutes. Well that’s my brain sometimes. I’ll get half the story, or the dramatic ending, then nothing for a while.

And when you specifically allocate time to write and sit down to access those stories, nothing. Blank screen as such. They aren’t there at my beck and call, only when they feel like it. So I can plan my creative time as much as I would like, unfortunately my creativity doesn’t always play ball. So I do my best and having a growing number of works in progress, hopefully they will pull themselves together and I can get my next book of short stories published. I have five written so far which feels like an achievement in itself, so I’ll try to build on that and get my internal remote in order and get it to settle on one story. If anything, I want to know where they go!

Times Are Changing

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

There have been two articles around this subject already, discussing what seems to be here and what may be coming our way –

A piece at a time

Monitoring

An overview of things as I have observed them, taking into account small areas of concern which appear to be part of the bigger picture. Of which not everyone seems to be bothered by, but I wonder if they are unable to consider the consequences of where it leads. There is an article around that as well if interested.

Forethought and Consequences

But this one is to speculate on the things that are here now and approaching. The things that have been openly discussed, reported and seem to be coming our way whether we want them or not.

Social credit score system – do as they say or you will be punished

No car ownership – limits your travel options and ability to mobilise

Regulations on heating and food – keep you cold and hungry

End of life care – they get to decide if you are ‘past your prime’ by their standard

Drone surveillance – to watch and restrict what you do and where you go

Digital Currency – so they can monitor your money, and then ultimately control it for you

All of this is being swept in under the initial guise of a ‘pandemic’ and is neatly intertwined with their ‘climate change’ agenda. How convenient. But make no mistake, it is a complete overreach and is beyond anything I genuinely thought I would see in my lifetime. Yet, here we are, witnessing what can only be described as a takeover. Of our lives and our future. An interference on a whole new level that some are unable to fathom, are unwilling to see or worst still, are on board with the new regime.

It appears they are not content with disrupting everyone’s current life, causing issue and instability for families, friends, workplaces and taking over leisure, education, religion, travel and more. They want to go further. It appears to be a very sterile, controlled, joyless environment and society that is on the cards. Minimal contact with others, information only provided by authorised groups, your choices made for you, experiences controlled and restricted as with everything else. How more people aren’t concerned by that is a concern by itself. The reaction has not been proportionate to the event, at all.

Finally though, some people are showing the level of public concern we need to see in an organised and calm way. Canada. Also this shows me very clearly why they might like to take away vehicles from people, or make them electric, or add a kill switch. Very sure way to eliminate anything like this in the future. It does appear to be escalating though as the people in charge are starting to appear anything but calm. As if they are on the clock or something.

We also have a distraction and money maker looming with war being talked about, again. It’s hard to keep up with their created doom sometimes, there has been so much throughout my life already, but manufactured doom isn’t the same as an unforeseen event. We hear much talk of things being reset, and it has made me think of all the other events throughout history. The ones they chose to glorify and put the prefix of Great in front of it. When you start to really look at their version of the past, and how cleverly they fooled everyone into thinking it was true, you can see why they might think the future is in the bag.

As the old saying goes “whoever controls the past, controls the future”, and there are many other sayings, old wives tales and myths that should be reviewed and looked at from a different viewpoint. All is not as it seems.

Books and writing fiction

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

There hasn’t been much time for fiction recently, with much to talk about within reality that is far more pressing and interesting and many articles have come of it. But some fiction will hopefully make it through in 2022, a new book of short stories is nearing completion and there are always more ideas jostling for position, so we will see what makes the grade. For now though, this is a rundown of my books that are already available if you find yourself in need of something else to think about 🙂

The Willing Observer – Fictional autobiography of a stalker/psychopath breaking down their methodology

A Parallel Abyss – A paranormal horror thriller

The Unknown – Horror/sci-fi story of a virus that changes the world (that one might not be an escape as such, but isn’t along the same lines as what is going on).

Memory

~ MKW Publishing ~ 14 Comments

I like the subject of memory, but this is a particular piece about one of my wild theories, pulled together from what I have read which does not appear to be wild theory, but actual possibility.

I’ll go straight in as I don’t know how else to lead into this, and it comes back to that special book that I bring up now and again. The People Shapers. Two things really led to this thought, firstly, a part on painkillers and how it was discovered that use of some of them dampened empathy and compassion, so while it killed feeling pain, it also kills other feelings for a time too.

The second part which concerned me the most (for more than one reason) was as follows.

They took mice and hamsters and conditioned them to be afraid of the dark. Then they liquidized them, and injected them into rats, who previously had no fear of the dark. Once you get over that awfulness, that we do things like that ‘just to see’, the results revealed (although contested), that the rats who were injected, developed a fear of the dark. Same with flatworms – once they were conditioned to know an electric shock was coming when they turned on the light, they began to show recoil at just the light being turned on. Then they chopped them up into pieces (which all regenerate), and the new ‘brains’ which grew had memory from the cells. So they liquified them too and fed them to other flatworms that had no experience of the stimuli – and guess what? Very shortly after consuming the conditioned worms, they too displayed the same responses – meaning all the cells of the specimen had held onto that memory.

That’s the speed version of those experiments, but the idea stayed with me about cells and memory and I applied the thinking to humans – however basic that might sound.

I theorised that not only are we able to condition humans to the same responses, but what if they are putting that into others? This theory led to my fictional short story P113, written before this game changer was thrown into our lives, which details where my thought process went with that one.

But in my mind, I see the potential for things to occur. By dampening and possibly switching off empathy and compassion, whether it be by use of drugs or conditioning, isn’t a good thing. Humans have a cruel streak we all know of, and people without feelings for others do not usually look out for others. And we have many drugs now that seem to disrupt the normal flow of thought and creativity.

There is another angle I have on it too, which I have been called an idiot for sharing before, but I don’t care if my ideas sounds ridiculous, until I sound them out, how will I know for sure? Based on the above premise of all cells having memory and their final state of being before demise could in fact be imprinted on the cells, could they be passed into the next environment? This was already a loose possibility in my mind way before I read The People Shapers, from a few angles. I watched a film many years ago called Brainwaves (1982), laying the idea that memories can be passed on through organs. Years later I read various stories from transplant survivors who say they have feeling and memories from their donors, so the idea stuck with me and waited for more information. I didn’t expect my brain to jump to a wild conclusion though (you would think I’d be prepared by now with what I think and write), but it linked a scenario that I come back to now and again. Things made from aborted fetal cells. I was quite horrified when I knew we did that, but with my theory, the idea that human cells at their point of being distinguished, may have felt abject pain and fear, then being recreated as something else and then put into new living cells. Could that memory have crossed over? Possibly not, but the idea it might is enough for me to be wary.

Steering back to what we do know about memory, it’s been proven that it is not always the best judge of the past. They say that a witness is the weakest evidence, and many experiments have been done to prove the brain can trick itself as well as be easily manipulated or influenced to change or fabricate memories. Some antibiotics apparently prevented short-term memories being stored in the animal tests, so I run with it that over the decades since the book was written, we have discovered a way to do this in humans (by accident or on purpose I don’t know). But many people unable to assimilate or really remember some events or information at certain times, potentially not being a problem or even noticeable on a day to day basis. Or put down to other things and overlooked. But in a much larger group, it would be noticeable wouldn’t it? That you weren’t remembering recent events as someone else did. It sounds familiar maybe? And isn’t always down to memory, as we know people see things differently and perceive a different world – which is another piece currently underway called Separate Realities, but memory plays a part there too I feel.

There is also the theory of genetic memory, so potentially we are already born with a set of memories which already aren’t our own as such – or because we are born with them, are they more us than what we subsequently learn?

And I will throw in the Mandela Affect, where they have decided to give a name to when people cannot recall events correctly and distort the facts in their mind, and insist it is the truth. Apparently they aren’t lying or deceiving you though. But clearly are to themselves perhaps? I am not sure what mechanism it is in the brain that conjures up falsities and lies in place of facts, and then chooses to run with it, but it does appear to be there. I’ll look into that more in the other post as it probably is a bit part of how someone constructs their personal reality.

There is much to mull over…
