The United States threaten to preemptively strike North Korea. The world cheers. My life in the Twilight Zone continues.

Another day in the twilight zone started this morning with a radio report on the way to work. General Matthis from the US dept of war was quoted as saying,

"Any threat to the United States or its territories - including Guam - or our allies will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming."

Don't panic North Koreans because the good General qualified his statement by saying that he hoped for denuclearisation before any decision was taken to murder the entire North Korean civilian population to punish the puppet Kim Jong.

"because we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely North Korea"

If anyone has any doubt of the success of the 40+ year campaign of social engineering that has been waged on the world, the non reaction to the threat of the United States to preemptively strike (annihilate) the people of North Korea is right up there.

Do people know what annihilate means?

We are being played like fools and it wouldn't surprise me if Kim Jong and North Korea were always part of the endgame. There has to be a bogeyman in the eyes of the people. Something to keep people afraid, something to justify the wars and gradual stripping away of our rights and freedoms.

How low have we gone as a race when we accept talk of the murder of 25 million people because we are TOLD they are a threat to us? I had a conversation with a collegue this morning and she brought up a point that I have been talking about for ages, namely that people of all countries are taught from birth that thier country is special and that to defend their country from threats is a noble pursuit.

The people of North Korea believe that their country is under threat from the United States, and to be fair to the North Korean regime (regime is used to refer to governments that disagree with United States foreign policy) they didn't have to create much propaganda for the people to believe it. They could have started by making them watch General Wesley Clarke talk about how how the United States planned to wage war on 7 countries in 5 years including North Korea, or perhaps remind them of the fact that the United States were ultimately responsible for the death of a million North Koreans in the Korean war that happened after the United States partioned the country in 1945.

It turns out that by creating/enforcing arbitrary borders on nations, you create tension and war in those nations. Who'd have thought that such a strategy could be used to keep countries weak? Certainly not the United States and definately not Great Britain, the architects of Balfour declaration and the partition of India and Pakistan to name but a couple.

I add my voice to the millions of people that are dismayed by what is happening in the world, and the way in which the majority of people are living in a reality that has been created for them by the same people who create the wars, misery, death and fear we see in the world. Thier inability to see what is hidden in plain site and reject rather than embrace the evils that surround them are the problem.

It's taken a lot of time, effort, resources and money for the powers that should not be to get where they are today, but the fact that so much effort is being made to keep things hidden and to keep us divided, gives me hope when the natural urge might be to abandon it.

When they no longer need to create the false flag events to manufacture our consent, when they end the global education programmes that deliberately do not teach us things (logic and analysis for example) that would give us the tools to bring about change, when they no longer need to add flouride to our water or spray our food with carcinogens to weaken us, it is then that we should really start to worry.

1984 saw the control of people by fear and intimidation and I still think we are living in the world of 1984. This sounds horrible, and in a way of course, it is, but those that are aware of emerging technologies will realise that we are not far from a world described in A Brave New World where control by force or fear is no longer neccessary.

Perhaps I am being too optimistic and we already are living in a real life version of Brave New World. I hope not.

As an illustration, here are a couple of quotes from people comparing 1984 and Brave New World. Both taken from the linked Brave New World wikipedia page.

Neil Postman said.

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that our fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that our desire will ruin us.

While Christopher Hitchens said,

We dwell in a present-tense culture that somehow, significantly, decided to employ the telling expression "You're history" as a choice reprobation or insult, and thus elected to speak forgotten volumes about itself. By that standard, the forbidding dystopia of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four already belongs, both as a text and as a date, with Ur and Mycenae, while the hedonist nihilism of Huxley still beckons toward a painless, amusement-sodden, and stress-free consensus. Orwell's was a house of horrors. He seemed to strain credulity because he posited a regime that would go to any lengths to own and possess history, to rewrite and construct it, and to inculcate it by means of coercion. Whereas Huxley ... rightly foresaw that any such regime could break because it could not bend. In 1988, four years after 1984, the Soviet Union scrapped its official history curriculum and announced that a newly authorized version was somewhere in the works. This was the precise moment when the regime conceded its own extinction. For true blissed-out and vacant servitude, though, you need an otherwise sophisticated society where no serious history is taught.

Finally, I think I good way to end this post is with a quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti who died in 1986 aged 90.

“We each need to become aware soon, we need to find our own unfiltered awareness, we need to discover what our own unique perception is, because in the next century they are going to do wholesale experiments on the brain, and then…things will be more difficult.”
