Titanic - A parable for our times?

Everyone knows the story of the Titanic; the unsinkable ship that went down on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, 15^th April 1912, with the loss of 1,503 passengers and crew; approximately two thirds of the people on board. Fewer people are aware of the book written 14 years earlier titled – ‘The futility of the wreck of the Titan’ by Morgan Robertson, 1898. This fictional novel told of the ship Titan, which also sank in the North Atlantic and didn’t have enough lifeboats on board for its passengers. The Titanic had lifeboat places for only 1,100 yet there were only 712 survivors because many of the boats were not full. It’s easy to imagine an almighty bun-fight breaking out as panic set in but it seems the evacuation was actually quite orderly in a “Steady as she sinks” sort of way. There are also many stories of heroism and of bands playing to the end, as well as the fictional stewards rearranging deckchairs.

More contemporary reading such as Orwell’s ‘1984’ and Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ were enjoyed in my teens as ripping yarns. Such a dystopian future was unimaginable – until today. Several of today’s arch villains, like Bill Gates, Ray Kurzweil and Klaus Schwab have also written accounts of the world they want to manifest. But they seem to prefer the company of human hybrid machines connected by Artificial Intelligence than of real flesh and blood people.  Unchallenged and undebated these Masters of the Universe have decided what’s best for the rest of us and are currently going all out to complete their plans before humanity awakens to the threat. Of course, as with the Titanic, a great many souls will be lost. There were no ‘lifeboats’ (vaxxine exemptions) for them. And despite there notionally being roles for the obedient civil servants managing or policing the current chaos the truth is that with two thirds of the planet’s population gone they’ll then be surplus to requirement; hence some available lifeboat places will go unused.

So what do the Davos Class have in mind for us? The by now obvious play is complete totalitarian enslavement of humanity, herded and controlled by an international grid monitoring every movement and purchase. Rewards must be earned by strict compliance to every urge of the hive mind including ratting out on misfit friends and family Stasi style for having the audacity to think critically. These ‘domestic terrorists’ pose a threat to a Cabal hell-bent on destruction and must be dragged off to camps for re-education or elimination. Change must be thrust upon them and if necessary they must sink or swim.

More importantly what do these misfits have in mind for themselves? Nothing short of heaven on earth actually  –

Totally Organic Foodstuffs and real food. Natural medicine with herbs, seeds and tubers, clean air and water. Total freedom of Speech, Association and Travel. Harmonious self-sufficient communities living in Honour by their own law. Utilising the best technologies for carbon-free power and heat generation. Healing our soils and water tables by removing centuries of toxins. Genuine education that develops natural talents and protects nature while respecting intergenerational wisdom. Global Unity Consciousness. When we choose to change we are limited only by our imagination.

After the Titanic disaster lifeboat capacity was determined by passenger numbers rather than ship tonnage. When our ‘new normal’ arrives it will provide for the best expression of human potential rather than brutal suppression of the many for the benefit of the few.
