You Have To Wonder

What are you supposed to think when you see a stadium full of people all holding Stand Up To Cancer signs? Wow!! That’s a lot! Look at all the brave people standing strong? Thank God for all the researchers working to find a cure? What’s the message? At the Major League Baseball All Star Game everyone in the ball park had a sign. Message delivered. Don’t be fooled. Everyone deals with cancer. Understand? Everyone.

It’s by design. The producers of this show want in. They want in the head. They want into the place where we find our calling, and create our lives. The meaningless ball game is a vehicle for post modern Americana cliches like kids peaking through a hole in the fence, Miss America trying to sing God Bless America, then the public mockery of a fabricated scientific slight of hand commitment to finding a cure. Each cheesy skit and stunt insults maturity, down drags culture, and sets the stage for the head implant placebo of inevitable illness in lackadaisically involved minds. So it goes in a society that has evolved with systems hijacked by concerns driving for full spectrum dominance. The phenomenal craving of the hijackers is in view again. The crowd of proud sign signaling automatons is actively, and almost certainly unknowingly, serving the bidding of a voracious parasitic class that will stop at nothing to preserve its own, If only to see through it, and stop assisting society’s self imposed corporate masters from consuming everything, including us.

Constant “news” signaling in every direction is a forgone feature of life here in the western world and US. Every imaginable hardship, difficulty, wrong, and disaster is on the brink of happening all the time. The fear pornography catalogue has become a bonanza. The economy! The enemies hate freedom! Fascists! Illegal outsiders! Insider traitors! Liars! The President! Mass shooting! Enriched nuclear fuel! Bombs! Terrorists! Despotic regime! They hate freedom! Distortion and speculation is pumped relentlessly in rapid fire fashion by corporate cartels desperately trying to avoid the daybreak of awareness that now is undeniably happening. The wake up exposes the propaganda pushers, thus threatening their ability to continue to fleece their long perceived collateral known of as the public. Panicky corporate pushers have always known very well the quantum feature of belief creating reality. There’s no suggestion out of bounds, there’s no conditioning that won’t be attempted. So while 16 million acre have burned across Canada this year, and like one tenth of the North American continent chokes in the smoke plume of Canadian forests, the news reports that, “Smoke from the Canadian wildfires helped keep temperatures down.” The lackadaisical mind rests in the conditioning. The smoke helps.

Nothing in the modern maya installed by technocratic kleptomaniacs rivaling for earth’s resources is arbitrary. The perception monitoring and control matrix of the informational overlay we call reality is way beyond manageable. It’s probably gone beyond its own terms. For instance, the incoherence of suggesting that incinerating a continent to temporarily to keep the temperatures in Chicago in the upper 80s rather than the low 90s is obvious. It is remarkable to think that industrial machinery is in the advanced place of grinding, abusing, and blowing up the planetary host we call earth, and the perception is that it’s happening for a good reason. Not only that, but that the ambassadors of the apocalypse care about earth’s inhabitants, and that our well being is at hand. Yikes! Isn’t it obvious that all the protection that we’re told is necessary is being offered to us by the same factions that are on the verge of making the whole conversation irrelevant thanks to total destruction. Perhaps totality doesn’t ultimately happen, however, to keep following the directions of those that say war makes peace, flames are air conditioners, and we Stand Up To Cancer you have to wonder.

Hype and Hide

Exactly how fast can a story disappear? In this current era of advanced attention domination despotism, what seemed so sure and important five minutes ago may not make any sense right now. Rapid fire breaking news has this jack in the box feature. Each new headline is supplanted by a now new term of even more eager outrage and importance. A ship just crashed into a bridge! A pipeline just exploded at the bottom of the ocean! A preemptive war was just launched against…!!! A deadly virus was just discovered in the jungle/livestock/icecap!!! On an on it goes. The twists of Bob Dylan’s Balled of a Thin Man is manifest. “You know something is happening, but you don’t know what it is…” Each shock and awe headline splash may hold details that allow one to breach the programed propaganda wall of fraud we call news, but it requires stopping for a second to drill into that particular subject. Make the story stand still. Voraciously devouring news spins up a detail and context maelstrom. The ensuing blur cloaks the disappearing act, and leaves the rest up to “interpretation. If the goal is disaffection and distraction, it’s working. Headline purveyors hit the throttle. The next thing you know, issues that drove thoughts, moods, and attitudes are hard to even remember. When memories pop up the seem hard to believe. Cardboard cut outs of fans at ball games. Really?! What the heck is even going on?

I remember when there was like a month for two of North Korean nuclear missile crisis. We had missiles flying into the Sea of Japan, imminent danger. and intolerable circumstances. Insane leaders opposed to diplomacy, and bent on destruction. Then suddenly, snap, you never heard another word about it. How about the meltdowns at Fukushima? China syndrome event for which there is no known technology to stop. A nuclear furnace that will be erupting “forever’. Now we haven’t heard about it in forever. On it goes. The Twilight Zone doesn’t have this much curiosity. Some of the last things reported about the CV-19 pandemic were conspiratorial in nature. Then all of a sudden, poof, not another word. No more Fauci. No more CDC. No more WHO. No more anything. Now what? Hantavirus?

In modern institutional systematic ways it has become abundantly clear that what the populace experiences is indoctrination, not education. The clever techniques of dismantling critical thinking and displacing it with obedience has prepared popular consciousness ground for exploitation. With wedge issues thrown into the propaganda mix, the ever increasingly disabled body of humanity can’t agree on what they don’t really know. All they know is that they can’t agree.

With each passing minute another manufactured factoid of existence flashes and passes into obscurity. It passes without ever being critically unpacked. The deliberate efforts the money trust parasites that drive this system have made a lot of progress polluting, damaging, and really obliterating planetary culture and environment. While perhaps compromised, and mixed up, critical thought still exists. It’s allowed to be applied to matters that don’t threaten the corporate industrial complex machine. Turn the lens. What appears will be an angle on an event procession that lacks coherency, sustainability, and visibility. In this, piece by piece, stuff is going to reappear. Watch.

Stupefying

May 8, 2018 and the exit from the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action). Fast forward to June 23, 2026 and the scramble to save some kind of face with a futile, fishtailing, disastrous diplomacy disgrace. Eight years, forty six days, thousands of people bombed out, killed or injured, and a virtual return to the same place that was left on May 7, 2018. This has to be a setup. You talk about being down the road of violence driven chaos for the sake of greater chaos? There’s no plausibility left in the arena of international affairs. The last worthwhile element of modern political workings is an intense example of exactly what not to do. Here’s a notion to perhaps follow; into the vacuum created by blasphemous dishonorable disregard for the right, some dignity and care begin to fill in.
