The so-called delusions of a long-dead science fiction writer may have turned out to be prophecies. Philip K Dick and the ongoing collapse and reordering of our reality.

As the world grows darker, colder and more lawless every minute of every day, all you can do is laugh at the fools ushering in a new #Dark #Archonic #Age. The old state cults will be re-established under the cover of Woke.

The world is powered by sorcerers and not scientists. Despite what the aging acolytes of the Enlightenment might wish, computers have only strengthened the power of the supernatural on this world.

A lot of people tend not to realize that we are dealing with Forces taken extremely seriously throughout our history, by men with far more brains, discernment and life-experience than any of our current crop of over-privileged academic idiots could even dream of.

Worries that seemed like paranoid delusions in 2016 about the dangers of high-tech control are now national mandates. And there's also the inexplicable sudden interest the elite media has in the #UFO topic to factor in, despite near-total disinterest on the public's part.

A quotation from Orwell, George

The child thinks of growing old as an almost obscene calamity, which for some mysterious reason will never happen to itself. All who have pass the age of thirty five are joyless grotesques, endlessly fussing about things of no importance and staying alive without, so far as the child can see, having anything to live for. Only child life is real life.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
“Such, Such Were the Joys” (1948)

After over a decade of hiatus one of the best Progressive Rock bands is back, Steven Wilson's Porcupine Tree with new songs and some songs with interesting lyrics commenting on our times.

#Herd #Culling

#StevenWilson:
"Lyrically, 'Herd Culling' is about a very specific event in #history, but it also deals with the broader theme of #paranoia in the #modern #age - someone or something is coming up your driveway or in your front garden, and their/its motives are unclear."

Taken from a comment: "this song makes reference to #SkinWalker Ranch, a place in Utah, which is famous for #UFO (UAP) sightings and also is supposed to be cursed by a SkinWalker (Some kind of native american witch doctor) in the past. There are claims of big wolf like creatures roaming the ranch and killing the cattle, as well as the cattle mutilation found in several locations where UFO (UAP) presence is known."

South Koreans are going to become "younger" as their traditional #age system is scrapped. There's something sad about a #tradition being abolished in the name of global #standardisation. I remember a Korean student explaining to me that he was 30 in Korean years, when the records said he was 29. In South Korea, you are traditionally 1 when you are born.

A quotation by Shakespeare, William

[O]ne man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,

Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.

Then the whining schoolboy with his satchel

And shining morning face, creeping like snail

Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,

Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,

Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,

In fair round belly with good capon lined,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws and modern instances;

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts

Into the lean and slippered pantaloon

With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,

His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide

For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,

Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,

That ends this strange eventful history,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion,

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet

As You Like It, Act 2, sc. 7, l. 149ff [Jaques] (1599)
