No, really?!
Can’t be so!
Big Data
It it interesting to note that as I type this, my team are developing the next generation of a service that is all about handing control of YOUR data to you, and only you. A concept yours conceived of decades ago and have been working to perfect between family interruptions.
Having mingled with people from these large Internet firms, please believe me, their staff possess few interpersonal skills and zero interest in your well being or privacy.
It’s all here. And it further validates what Elon Musk and I have been saying all along, that the Covid-19 virus issue is in part, a massive ponzi scheme, with the UK’s NHS and others being used as the sham raped Princess, something I find appalling. Although I will be thanking the lovely NHS staff tonight at 8pm with sincerity, the sinister undertones behind all this make me feel like I am clapping by proxy for Dear Leader in North Korea, Soviet Russia or China.
Something’s not quite right.
Big Pharma
A long time ago in this blog, I mentioned that big pharma is associated with big processed foods in the USA. Not because I read it online (there was no online back then), nor because of personal experience (I had no idea back then), but because I heard it from the horses mouth, the retired marketing director of a firm called something like Bristol Mayers Squib (eeeww!)
I had been invited to see him to obtain business advice in relation to a project to install the world’s first electronic coupon dispensing machine in supermarkets. I wanted to trial it in Whole Foods Market, a really cool organic store in Palo Alto. He said, “NO! If you want to get into the big stores like Walgreens and Long’s Drugs, you cannot be associated with health foods.” (I had NO idea what he was on about, yet.) I said “Oh?” He responded, “the aforementioned” (yes he really said his) “…sell junk food (processed cheese, potato chips etc etc) down one aisle and meds down the other. They don’t want a healthy population.” I sat in stunned silence and pretended this was ok. (As it happens, the Internet became a thing not long after this meeting, perhaps the next year, and we moved into that area.)
Today, there are reports that ‘minority’ communities are more susceptible to Covid-19. Well that is because they are encouraged through very dubious marketing to consume high saturdated fat foods, such as fried chicken (just visit any American or British city and visit a KFC), not to mention spirits and other harmful produce.
Being Covid stresses the cardiovascular and lungs, it kills people in poor health. So guess what? Billions is now being invested in trying to find a ‘cure’, for a virus that is easily avoidable by being in good health. (Don’t let the media sensationalising all this by focusing on the one or two young people who may or may not have died FROM Covid, not to be confused with dying whilst carrying the virus.)
But big pharma win either way, because they will conveniently have a vaccine (that only works on an unpredictable strain of Covid – as per the annual random strain flu vaccine) to arrive just as everyone is about to lose their marbles thanks to elongated lockdown.
I have stated before here and to people I mentor that the three most powerful entities on this planet are big oil, big pharma/processed food and the cocaine trade. Each corrupt government, politicians (Tony Blair in particular), the police (drugs) and so on.
It’s such a nasty cartel of sham righteous evil, if could well be like a Hollywood script. What is a sod is that unless you are rich or in the media like Elon Musk who has recently stated the very same as I (nice one Elon!), you do not get a platform to express these views and the populace alas lap up the fear mongering and accept their fate.
The screw tightens
Assuming this is true, we have yet another example of the UK’s lazy, morally bankrupt, hypocritical councils using a crisis to impose rules that are not necessary and a further encroachment into YOUR life. It beggars belief one even needs to show ID under normal circumstances – are they trying to encourage fly tipping??, but to want a bank statement – itself is a breach of YOUR privacy. is a joke. Re social distancing, this comment from below the above article says it all:

Wonderful illustration of how beaurocrats will invent complications, rules and procedures for no reason whatsoever except to prove how important they are.
How on earth can people queuing in cars be a risk to anyone else so long as the parking and and unloading is subject to sensible distancing?
Pathetic. I thought they were claiming they were running out of money?
As a council tax payer, I do not mind at all if someone not local uses our local tip. Is someone really going to drive 50 miles to dump waste for no other reason than they are probably on the way somewhere, as we were a few years ago when we were turned away from Newbury tip by an almost Nazi like young man because my address had changed? So we had to drive 100 miles with a car full of smelly waste, and then visit our local tip when it was next open, leaving the waste in the car. A vast waste of petrol too, so much for councils wanting to be green. Such greed and hypocrisy and lack of logic. These people are quite simply evil.
As another commenter below the above Daily Telegraph article suggests, it is time to shut down UK councils. In my view, replace them with an ethically run people first entity with a transparent model. I have ideas on this and will share here in due course or just get on and do it.
China is installing surveillance cameras outside people’s front doors … and sometimes inside their homes – CNN
The coronavirus pandemic has brought surveillance cameras closer to people’s private lives: from public spaces in the city to the front doors of their homes — and in some rare cases, surveillance cameras inside their apartments.

We need to need to go to war with China. The true enemy all along. They are already giving the UK’s NHS, and no doubt soon, our councils. dystopian ideas. We go to war for polluting oil, so why not rescue a people from themselves? Time for an armed conflict before China’s military technologically overtakes the West and we’re powerless to stop this slow invasion by stealth purchase of our assets and embedding of their technology in our digital infrastructure. Covid is being used as an excuse to introduce total surveillance of YOUR life. This must never EVER happen!
We need to use tactical weaponry to take out key Chinese governmental cities and protect Hong Kong so that it’s industrious and fun* people can form a mainland government.
At no time in the history of the World has freedom been won by hope. Unfortunately, lives will have to be lost, but until someone comes up with a better idea, it’s time for the US and NATO to fire up the big guns. Maybe even get Russia aboard?
I understand that three US nuclear subs are off Taiwan, that there has been unrest within China, including explosions at arms depots. Something’s up already.

As I was saying regarding this being about money. Or at least it is being dragged out so big pharma have a larger market.

Coronavirus lockdown causing ‘creeping’ expansion of intrusive surveillance tactics, campaigners warn | The Independent
Coronavirus is causing the “creeping” expansion of intrusive surveillance techniques, campaigners have warned. Police have used drones and automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR) to spot people suspected of violating the UK lockdown, while telecommunication firms are “in discussions” about sharing user data with the government.

As I was saying.
Your Orwellian nightmare is here
The architects of eternal dystopia always need an excuse, now they have it. I know no place in the UK where even in the busiest seasons, people lay in a park or on a beach closer than 2m. It creates an invasion of space/sense of unease/is creepy – so our natural protective instincts kick in and we remain apart from those we don’t know or trust. BTW, yesterday, the government’s own scientific advisor admitted the safe distance is 1m. 2m is just to be safe, fair enough.
Don’t forget, this blog has always been about monitoring threats to common sense freedom and the slow rise of total surveillance and the empowered jobsworth to cramp your (innocent) style.
I’m confident that for as long as Boris Johnson has any influence, common sense will prevail. He is not a dictator or one in the making.
Why didn’t they do this before?
The cat is already out of the bag, yet only now are they quarantining those flying into the UK. I have always said that politically correctness and the opposite, corporate greed would end up wiping us out. My worst fears are all coming true. And that’s without all the unwarranted total surveillance about to hit us.

Coronavirus: UK launches first Bangladesh rescue flights – BBC News

So, are these people being tested for Covid-19 prior to entry to our country?
Note that during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918, 90% of the deaths were in India. Politically correctness means this is not talked about, but it needs to be. Just incredible that people cannot sanbathe outside on a beach but the UK government continues to fly people into this country without checks. (Airport workers state that people entering the country are not tested.)
More liberal codswallop
“The success of these and other women-led governments in dealing with a global pandemic is all the more noteworthy, given that women make up less than 7% of world leaders.”

Correct, stopping people flooding into your country unchecked (at any time!) is a good thing, but the reason the countries listed in this article from the most liberal channel on Earth, CNN (oh dear), is because their populations are tiny in comparison to those in busy cities like New York, London, Paris and so forth. Compress a lot of people together in one confined space, and something is going to give. And it should be noted that all of these nations lack the multicultural societies of the aforementioned cities. And all those aforementioned cities have very liberal policies. Reap, sow.
When I arrived at the US embassy in London for my Visa interview in 1992 or so, I was tested for one or two diseases and viruses before I was awarded my green card and allowed into the US. Their concern wasn’t just for US citizens, but that I would not be a financial burden on the country. And I respected that.
The Changes
I remember watching this when it was originally shown. And I remember again when I hear people who know nothing about technology talking about it out of their rear ends. I confess, I do not know if the theories that 5G technology can harm us directly are sound, but to say it is linked to Corvid is mindless codswallop, to quote my late father.

Growth in surveillance may be hard to scale back after pandemic, experts say | World news | The Guardian
Coronavirus crisis has led to billions of people around the world facing enhanced monitoring
— Read on www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/14/growth-in-surveillance-may-be-hard-to-scale-back-after-coronavirus-pandemic-experts-say
And dare anyone try to stop it.
I first started ‘blogging’ in the 1990s in Silicon Valley, back then in the form of emails to my long suffering friends. The core theme of the blog has always been the ‘road to dystopia’, in fact, if you look at the dedicated pages on here, I used to keep track of goings on that contributed to or proved society was gradually being dumbed down, ‘disarmed’ (of intelligent thought and content) and preened for manipulation.
It’s over 25 years later, and finally, the authorities have their excuse to implement and indirectly profit from an eternal total surveillance system, with terrifying and life destroying consequences. And when I say life destroying, I mean that the very purpose of living will be pointless. No one will trust anyone, no one will dare make jokes (hence no April 1st spoofs this year in the media), question authority, help others (they will be too fearful) and so on. Myself and a friend were too fearful to help a store manager after a loading trolley fell over, spilling contents all over the pavement. We had to stand there and watch, not for fear of her being worried (she isn’t a snowflake type), but for being either screamed at by a baying public or warned by the police for breaching the 2m rule.
I learned how heartless a communist nation monitored by jobsworths and technology is, not from Western propaganda or rumour but from watching countless CCTV videos of real world goings on in China on LiveLeak. The only destination that dares publish unedited uncensored content.
We are headed that way now, and there may well be no way back – as this article in The Guardian hints at.
Meanwhile the CEOs of the mega corporations who make the gear and services that will track you will live their less restricted high lives up in the hills away from you and your dull manipulated life.
What? You thought Black Mirror and other productions was fiction? No, it was produced to prepare you for this reality.

Told you so. China is the (crafty) enemy.
Reboot
For a while now, whilst not a central theme of this blog – that focuses on the threat of the total surveillance humourless jobsworth state – I have commented on how society is not setup to survive with cities – and without decentralised food and energy production. Three or so weeks ago, the world came close to social collapse as supermarkets ran out of key produce, some vital to our personal hygiene and basic nutritional needs. (No toilet paper = uncleanliness for those without a bidet or other means to stay clean below.) Milk and produce ailes were empty.
Likewise, if too many staff at nuclear power stations, airport control towers and food distribution depots were ‘taken out’ or refused to come into work, then the consequences would be catastrophic.
Regarding cities, I have always felt they are like virtual reality: Something to experience once in a while, but not to become eternally embedded. Whilst offering a buzz that young people enjoy, cities are flawed as follows:
Close proximity of people aids the spread of diseases, hence London, Paris, New York and others have been hit hard by Covid-19.
Tall buildings full of people create an illusion of civilised success. The occupants consume produce that is not in proportion to the footprint of the building. Food and water for such buildings and cities in general is ‘imported’. Consider the effect Las Vegas has on the water supply to Los Angeles. On the other hand, rural communities that tend to feature 1 or 2 story buildings that are distributed across a larger acreage are a more honest representation of population and needs.
Close proximity of buildings to roads and entertainment establishments makes for a lot of noise pollution for residents. Even those who get used to it are having their senses damaged or numbed, reducing their ability to focus on work and get a good night’s sleep. And then there is the pollution from nearby non electric vehicles.
This blog, and it’s author’s business call for a massive change in how society and infrastructure is designed, engineered and managed. We need to start entirely from scratch, not try to put lipstick on a pig by modding our current systems.
