Fear. All over the news. Constantly.
Movies and TV. Commandos and assassins, rah rah military man.
How many people do we watch killed on tv before we're 20 years old?
Hunting down aliens and nazis in the underground secret bunker tunnels we plaster them all over the walls with the secret super rail gun. Disarm the devious slicer trap. Get the passcode.
After commanding my RTS domain and keeping out the armed invaders, I ramble.
Dazed, pondering the culling. My friend wanders along his usual topics of secret societies and groups of puppet masters filling their pockets with the sweat of underlings while devising the control of the emerging world.
The culling he says. A big epidemic. The rich will have medicine quickly and everyone else will be fucked. Fucked over by the theoretical concept of pure capitalism.
Because to be effective and keep the population healthy medical aid can't be a profit generator.
As soon as it is, then some will have medicine and some won't. The poor will lose their savings and land to richer folk who can afford to stay healthy.
A lot of people are profiting on the misery of others.
So back to the culling.
Maybe that should be capitalized. The Culling.
History has shown us quite clearly, on our own continent and around the world, how effective a simple affliction can be in retarding the progress of someone who’s living on land that you want.
The ownership of land is a pretty common motivation in historical records of human conflict and atrocity.
So my friends keeps on about the puppet masters and secret societies, the rich and powerful and how they’re obsessed with control, because this system isn’t stable either, and whoever’s in power over the next 20 years will gain the means through technology, weaponry, and surveillance, to maintain their control over the population indefinitely.
By filling us with fear. By telling us it costs too much to have an industry wide comprehensive Mad Cow screening process. It will cost too much to have nationwide vaccines available free for everybody for the next epidemic.
Hmm. I bet the expenses incurred by our politicians in limousine service, catering, and convention/meeting costs alone would pay for every man woman and child getting vaccinated for free within one week of a true epidemic.
We have the technology. We have the logistical ability.
The stumbling block is simply:
“We can’t give something away for free, especially medicine, do you know how much that costs to make?”
The cost.
Millions of people will die of an epidemic flu or other pathogen within the next 10 – 20 years unless we have a research, manufacturing, and distribution system in place for mass inoculation.
But it’s not going to happen. Not until AFTER there is a big death. It costs money and doesn’t generate profit.
Profit will be the motive for not being prepared.
We live in a world progressing very quickly.
Cloning of a human is already occurring somewhere on this planet. With huge amounts of money behind it, there are numerous private labs in the world right now working on the problem.
My friend continues to tell me that it won’t be a naturally mutated strain that causes the next epidemic. It will be a manipulated strain. Nature’s efficient killer, tweaked in a lab to give it that extra zing. He goes on about the usual suspects. The Culling. The puppet masters, clearing land for vacation properties and profit.
I kind of step back from the conspiracy theories and the specific names and just focus on the main idea,
That we don’t have a free drug manufacture and distribution system, that nature has an epidemic cycle of every hundred years or so, and that cycle is shortened by the ability of people to manipulate nature’s deadly bugs and create new strains.
After everybody’s been cleared away. The rich, who didn’t have delays getting their vaccinations, will play some golf and wait for their replacement body parts and organs to be cloned.
I think I need to go watch some cartoons…
