Many years ago a close friend asked me what I was going to do with my life. Having been successfully propagandised for many years I responded ‘ I might join the army and see the world’. He was not impressed. Only now, past the halfway point, do I understand why.
It’s a well trodden path that ensures a constant flow of meat to the grinder. Today it’s Gaza or the Ukraine, but there has been an endless stream of carnage throughout the ages and sadly it’s likely to continue. At least when I was a teenager we had fellow travellers to relate to. They have all but been replaced with mobile phones which don’t answer back. Gone is any semblance of sanity and rational discourse. They have been replaced with woke nonsense and the unhinged passion of ‘true believers’.
Now in 2024, when it seems nothing can get any worse, we are being treated to the ultimate lie. ‘Stab yourself with this experimental concoction and no one else will get sick’ – It’s the classic ruse – ‘My seatbelt doesn’t work unless you’re wearing yours’. Are thousands getting maimed and sick? ‘Who cares?, take one for the team. Any side effects are extremely rare.’ Actually they’re not.
Unique to this intervention, there may be a short-term protection available against one particular variant, but it has been obtained at the expense of a suppressed immune system so that everyone becomes vulnerable to opportunistic infection or the re-emergence of a nasty problem which the immune system had been holding in check for years. The really neat bit, from the psychopath’s perspective, is that the carnage is no longer limited to the flowers of a nation’s youth but is now available to all - a tenfold harvesting of souls, without anyone pointing the finger at the true culprit! So suspend any idea that side effects might occur in 0.1% of recipients. It’s more like 100%. The main variables are time and the nature of the illness.
At some point all of us have thought ‘I wish this wasn’t happening’. The truth is too painful for many, especially those who’ve invested everything in the lie. But ‘the truth will out’ and eventually it catches up with everyone. The good news is we can always get over it and the sooner we do the more good can come of it. In every situation each of us has a different size hurdle to overcome. Some of us will manage it easily enough; for others it may be the work of many years. The point is never ‘Why is this happening to me?’ But always – Was the lesson learnt and why was it offered? Then, when you smugly think I’m over that, some curved ball might land you back in it – Doh!
So my bacon was saved in that I didn’t train for years on how to kill people. Instead I devoted myself to ‘Electronic Communication’ and saw the world through a lens of naivety. As they say – ‘The clue is in the name’. We had ears on our heads, tongues in our mouths, pineal glands and empathy long before we had electronics. How could we ever imagine communication being more efficient because it’s electronic?
The meat grinding machines have reached a new level of sophistication and cannon fodder is more plentiful than ever. Mine is the role of laying breadcrumbs for those who search for the way. I may be figuratively just a few steps ahead in my understanding of current affairs but I have an unfailing pole star to follow; - Does this path favour life?
