Too much monkey business

 

A monkey, earlier today.

"Sorry, but why is it that we get the blame for this?"

When legendary film director Stanley Kubrick was interviewed about what turned out to be his last movie, Eyes Wide Shut in 1999, he told an interviewer that the film, which famously starred Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, was based on a German novel called Traumaville. This was reported by a British magazine and I sub-edited the interview in question, so I know that this is not the fake news we hear so much about.

In fact, Kubrick had used the German word Traumnovelle, meaning 'Dream story' or perhaps 'Dream tale'. It was written, or at any rate published, by German author Arthur Schnitzler in 1926. The interviewer had obviously misheard the word from his or her recording of the interview. But Traumaville is a linguistic invention - albeit by mistake - far too good and apt not to be used as the perfect description of where we in the West live now.

Our leaders - an extremely sinister cabal of interlinked psychopaths, as far as I can see - seem intent on keeping us frightened at all times, so that we are more receptive to what is popularly known in the United Kingdom as 'the nanny state'. An alarming number of people during the COVID pandemic seemed only too willing to do exactly what the state told them to, in Europe, the UK, the Commonwealth and the USA.

It is as though the advanced civilizations of the Western world agreed with the final couplet of Hilaire Belloc's poem, The Jim Poem, from the 1907 collection Cautionary Tales for Children.

'Always keep a-hold of nurse

For fear of finding something worse'.

Well, the deep states across the quilt of Europe, as well as the aforementioned Commonwealth and north America, tried to keep COVID going for as long as they could, but finally they couldn't keep all the plates spinning on the top of the bamboo poles, and another pandemic was desperately needed. Enter monkeypox.

The details can easily be found on line, so I won't bother. It is not the virology of the condition that is a cause for concern, it is the political use to which the new despots will put it. As I mentioned a couple of days ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) has just arranged a 'Pandemic Accord' (the Americans didn't like the word 'treaty') which will effectively give the WHO the ability to enable sovereign governments to enforce lockdowns in the event of any new pandemic. A few moments later? Golly gee. A new pandemic.

The elites can do this forever, and if the accord comes into force, you will be locked down whenever our rulers say you will be locked down. And if anyone believes that is democracy, they don't know their Ancient Greek. Demos. The people. Kratos. Power. Democracy is the power residing with the people, and if they can be effectively imprisoned in their own homes - as happened recently in Shanghai - then they have power to make coffee and watch TV and that's about it.

The WHO is unelected. You really have to let that one sink in, have a good mull over it. If unelected bodies can enforce the global segregation of citizens who did not vote for them, all bets are off. This is potentially a worldwide curfew, and will have one of two consequences, either compliance or revolution.

There are other factors. There is a fairly prevalent medical opinion that monkeypox is much like HIV in that it is spread prevalently by sexual contact of, shall we say, the rougher kind, which really needs no further explanation. Should this be the case, it is another disease for which lax moral conduct is responsible. But we must not anticipate.

Some countries are almost jumping the gun. Belgium has an estimated three cases - from a population of around 12 million - and is already mooting 21-day quarantine plans at parliamentary level. It's almost as though... No, can't be. I am not a conspiracy theorist, not me.

The UK, apparently, has 71 cases of this new and conveniently timed disease. The first case apparently arrived via a gentleman from Nigeria. Again, without being too indelicate, it might be an idea to impose a moratorium on too much global criss-crossing during these Biblical plagues.

There is no question that the elites will not waste a good crisis, even if they have to whip it up themselves. What is it that makes the elites wish to psychologically torture their people? Mental health problems in the UK have leapt, and I don't imagine there were fewer suicides during COVID than the regular statistics.

It takes a peculiar abdication of conscience to allow people to act in this way. It is always a mystery as to why small groups of people wish to make the lives of the majority more rather than less miserable, and with this new 'pandemic' we have an extraordinary example of this.

So, welcome to Traumaville.

Be not too afraid.

But be afraid.
