THEY ARE DEAD TO YOU

MONOLOGUE WRITTEN BY CLYDE LEWIS

I was listening to another talk show last night as I was heading home from work. The person on the air was talking about how far Hollywood has fallen. It was all about the Harvey Weinstein case of course and the talk show host was saying the movies we see are pretty much a reflection of who we are unfortunately.

I thought about that statement and wanted to call the show and say that at times movies, especially science fiction and horror films sometime forestructure the future.

They are like glimpses into the future and some people argue that these films are literally predictive programming to acclimate society into accepting or moving towards a new way of living.

It can also be called the “Revelation of the Method” an axiom that is most often abused in the conspiracy fringe circles. This is because paranoia dictates that there is often bad intent with this type of media magic and at times there is the tendency to write off coincidence and synchronicity as mere fantasies. However, it is not at all out of the question to determine that perhaps there is an agenda in the media to approximate or forestructure events in fiction in order to lessen the blow when they occur in our reality or timeline.

Reality has this uncanny knack for imitating cinematic fiction. It used to be the prosthesis for memory and now it seems to be the vehicle for predicting the future or fore-structuring behaviors with the use of esoteric images and so called magical sigils that trigger programming mechanisms that exist in the unconscious mind.

The media, which now encompasses more than just reporting events, now provides a syntax for how we are to view these moments in reality and how they can forestructure future events.

Nothing goes out of date more quickly than films set in the future. Big-screen visions of tomorrow always reflect the era in which they were made – hence the disco outfits in Flash Gordon. Most soon become silly relics rather than uncanny prophecies of the shape of things to come.

Lately though, we know longer see science fiction as something that reflects any time; in fact, movies like Blade Runner 2049 plod away like a funeral dirge, and in the same setting show us the lack of humanity wrapped in virtual reality and transhuman relationships.

It is not the end of the world we see in this film, but a world that continues to deteriorate.

It reminds me of just how dreadful it was in the film, Children of Men, which I might add is a bit closer to the reality of what we face. The film is set in 2027 in a dystopian Britain.

In the beginning, we hear a television news reporter deliver the news that the last child on Earth, “Baby Diego” Ricardo, was born in 2009 in Mendoza, Argentina. He is the world’s youngest human, but the sad news is that he is stabbed to death in a bar fight in Buenos Aires.

We get the clue early on that men and women can no longer have children.

Judging by the old newspapers shown in the film we learn that society has been rocked pollution, nuclear accidents, social division, and terrorist bombings. Nevertheless, all of Britain’s troubles have been blamed on refugees. The refuges are rounded up by police and are locked in cages like animals. They are later bussed to homeless camps riddled with disease. If any of them leave these areas of disease and human rot – they are hunted down like cockroaches.

The refuges, despite the fact that they are human beings are as good as dead in the police state and are certainly in hellish shanty towns that would be sooner burnt to the ground than tolerated.

What we don’t realize is the deeper horror is that while mankind can no longer reproduce, the poor population and the refugee is culled – the process is slow and horrible extinction.

A dose of modern reality is sobering because the film, Children of Men, was made more than a decade ago and now researchers have looked into sample birth records since 1984 and saw “a dramatic drop in the number of boys being over a 10 year period, particularly in the five-year period between 1998 and 2003. Much of the decline in male fertility is linked to chemical toxicity found in water and food. Environmental pollution both chemical and electronic has also been cited as a contributor. Male children have had an increase in genital deformities. Also, there has been a decrease in male sperm and an increase in teen age impotence.

In 1992, there was a proposal for Natural Sustainable Development. A comprehensive action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by the United Nations to literally use whatever means necessary to reduce the population of the planet. The plan has also been called Agenda 21 which is a 40 chapter plan on how to implement zero population growth, eugenics, war casualties and socialist programs to reduce populations.

There are many paranoid notions that much of what we hear in the news about mass death, suicide, catastrophe, and war are part of this agenda.

However, there are realities to consider about the planet’s ability to remove that which is causing a disruption in the balance of nature. The aspects of how nature tends to rid itself of its parasites are far more disturbing than a simple plan carried out by the elite.

There are those in control the world that want to give nature a little push.

Those in control run a foul with nature and with their power try to disrupt the natural order of things.

If people question their motives they are called conspiracy theorists and denialists. The elite destroy the ecosystem and then punish the people saying that the cause of all of the environmental chaos is because of human neglect.

The end of the world scenarios that have been looming in most horror fiction or dystopian fiction have laid out a blueprint for how our extinction will take place from male and female infertility to the over saturation of the Zombie Apocalypse.

The realities of such a long and terrifying disintegration of mankind fills people with more dread than terror; however, the extinction tropes are often used in some of the most effective horror movies and TV shows to be used as cautionary tales. What is more terrifying is that this deterioration process that has been seen as fiction is now becoming reality and we are no longer imagining a Zombie Apocalypse – we are courting it.

Now when I speak of the Zombie Apocalypse, I am not referring to the idea that all of a sudden people will be somehow afflicted with Spontaneous Necro-Animation Psychosis where the animated corpse rises from the dead seeking brains for sustenance. That may be what terrifies people in the movies or when they watch “The Walking Dead” or “Z Nation.”

But the true zombie we should fear is that of a diseased human being who somehow spreads a virus resistant to what antibiotics we have in the world’s strategic stockpiles.

Even with such defenses, the global scale of an incurable outbreak will rapidly break down any existing complex civilization. The novel “World War Z” by Max Brooks depicts one such scenario although it presents an unlikely end result in which humans are able to recover, albeit at the brink of extinction.

Madagascar, an island off Africa’s east coast is now reporting that the Black Plague has surged. 680 cases had been reported earlier this week, including 167 in the densely populated capital. So far 57 have died.

Yesterday it was reported in Live Science that a woman contracted a potentially deadly bacterial infection while on a 12-hour flight from Japan to Germany.

This bacterial infection known as meningococcal disease, is generally transmitted only through close contact; for example, by kissing or living in close quarters with someone who is sick, according to the World Health Organization. The new report is only the third case ever reported of this disease being transmitted on an airplane.

Meningococcal disease is caused by the bacteria, Neisseria meningitidis. About 10 percent of the population carries this bacteria in their nose and throat without showing any symptoms of disease. But the bacteria can cause serious illness if it gets into the blood or the brain. In the brain, the bacteria can cause meningitis — a swelling of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord; in the blood, it can cause and infection called, septicemia.

In the TV show, The Walking Dead, the Zombie Apocalypse was triggered by a form of meningitis that was resistant to treatment. It was learned in the television show that everyone carries the bacteria and that upon death it activates the brain and spinal column.

The reality of this disease passing to others is far more terrifying than meeting up with a gooey and slimy “walker.”

The woman on the plane that contracted the meningococcal disease was with her husband traveling from Japan to Germany on August 8th, 2015. They happened to be on the same flight as a team of Scottish and Swedish scouts who were returning from the World Scout Jamboree, an international gathering of scouts ages 14 to 17. While camping in the outdoors six of the scouts later developed meningococcal disease.

The married couple did not sit directly next to the scouts, but sat in a row behind and across the aisle from the Scottish scouts. They noticed that one of the scouts seated in front of them was coughing throughout the flight.

Once they arrived in Germany, the couple hopped on another flight to Spain, where they went sightseeing. But a few days later, on Aug. 11, the woman felt tired and developed pain in her throat and a cough. Her husband also developed pain in his throat and a mild fever.

They felt sick for the rest of their trip, but felt somewhat better upon their return to Japan on August 16th.

However, on September 19th, the woman developed a sudden high fever and chills, as well as pain in her joints. She visited four health care facilities and underwent tests before she was finally hospitalized on September 25th.

The new report “strongly suggests that meningitidis was transmitted from the Scottish scouts to the Japanese couple during their international flight. Now keep in mind that the spread of an infection like this rare.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that passengers who sit next to someone with meningitidis on a flight that is more than 8 hours long receive preventive antibiotics.

The question is just how effective are antibiotics?

Antibiotic resistance is natural selection in action. It arises when infection-causing bacteria survive exposure to a treatment that would normally kill them, allowing drug-resistant strains to spread due to a lack of competition from other bacteria.

The overuse and misuse of antibiotics to treat non-bacterial infections, their increased use in agriculture and poor patient adherence to treatment regimens have created the perfect environment for this resistance to emerge.

In fact, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 70 percent of bacterial infections are already caused by bacterial pathogens that are resistant to at least one antibiotic drug on the market.

Now before you shrug at the idea that none of this will affect you or your family—keep in mind that there are places in your community that are becoming breeding grounds for antibiotic resistant Tuberculosis, Hepatitis and Meningitis.

Where are these places?

Unfortunately, there seems to be a link between these infections and the homeless camps that have been popping up in some cities.

San Diego has started washing its downtown streets with bleach in an effort to combat an outbreak of Hepatitis A that has killed at least 15 people and infected nearly 400.

The infectious disease has largely infected homeless people in the coastal California city, and part of the issue is an apparent shortage of public restrooms in areas where the population congregates.

Hepatitis A was first identified in the area in early March, and declared a public health emergency earlier this month.

A letter from San Diego County health officials stated that hepatitis A is being spread though contact with a “fecally contaminated environment” as well as person-to-person transmission.

Last Saturday, I was at The ConspiraZone which is our very own conspiracy and paranormal museum in an area near China Town and the Pearl District in Portland Oregon. While my wife was parking the car, I went to a parking meter machine to get a parking pass. As I stood waiting for the receipt, I looked down at the sidewalk and noticed a pile of human fecal material near the parking box.

Later after the event, I waited for my friend Lucian to come by. We were actually heading to another event and while I was waiting in the dark, I saw a woman walk into the door well of an abandoned storefront. She crouched down and I noticed that she was relieving herself as cars were going by and I was standing there.

I thought that this is probably going on everywhere, and city managers are letting it happen because they can’t curtail the homeless problem and they don’t seem to want to provide these areas with portable bathrooms.

The homeless are dead to them and this becomes a health problem for anyone that may have contact with the human waste they leave behind in the streets or in any part of the city where they set up encampments.

Once Hepatitis A starts to be transmitted in a community, it’s kind of hard to stop the spread. The most effective tactic is immunization but there aren’t enough in the strategic arsenal.

The issue is getting people, especially those who might be living on the street, into care facilities – getting them checked and giving them the inoculations.

Otherwise, you can ponder the possibility of what might happen.

Hepatitis A is considered highly contagious, according to the CDC, and attacks the liver.

When a certain population of people are ignored or are considered dead to the elite, they become an even bigger problem for all people in the community.

While some people might think that a Zombie Apocalypse is a worn out cliché, think about this.

There was actually a more sophisticated Zombie film called “The Crazies” where the inhabitants of a small town were literally losing their minds. There was a plague that was infecting the mind f the people causing them to black out and then go on killing rampages.

It was later discovered that a mysterious toxin was contaminating their water supply.

Now think for a moment what is happening in Puerto Rico.

Supplies still aren’t reaching where they’re needed in Puerto Rico, and some people who desperately need water are getting it from hazardous sources. After evaluating five places deemed especially hazardous to health and the environment, so-called Superfund sites, Environmental Protection Agency staff are now watching people accessing wells at a chemical-tainted water source on the northern coast of Puerto Rico.

The contaminated wells they are drinking from are in Dorado. Industrial solvents have been tainting portions of this system since the 1980s, according to an EPA report, resulting in permanent and temporary closures of some of the wells. When the site was officially added to the Superfund list in September 2016, the EPA had not identified the source of the contamination.

People are drinking the water because Puerto Rico has been experiencing a dangerous water shortage since Hurricane Maria made landfall over three weeks ago. More than a third of the 3.4 million US citizens on the island still can’t turn on the tap to get clean water, and reports say that emergency water supplies aren’t reaching people who need them.

People who have been drinking the water at the superfund sites are already complaining of stomach pain and nausea.

In order for us to avoid a zombie extinction level apocalypse, we may have to take the time to take preventative measures to keep it from happening.

One biggest preventative measure would be to eliminate desperation.
