I am conspiracy theorist. At least I used to be. My library is filled with books on secret societies, government intelligence, etc. Books like Behold a Pale Horse and The World Order have been bought more than once in my lifetime. These kinds of books are informative but they can wear you out. I remember when I got my hands on some copied documents on the FBI's cointelpro program. I was shook at the seeming audacity of the government plotting to destroy Black people who were only trying to save their community from the likes of rogue law enforcement and jim crow laws. Those writings led to me reading about King Alfred, population control and the like. I listened to Steve Cokely tapes for hours talking about Sigma Pi Phi and the book None Dare Call it Conspiracy.
As I gotten older, its no secret that I have mellowed. I was someone who spent a lot of time in a state of paranoia. However, I found myself in a number of circles that made my paranoia seem relatively harmless. The truth of the matter is this. People are scared. There is a lot of information about who really controls the world. Its kind of like what Blade says in the movie. "You better wake up. The world we know is just sugar topping, underneath there is another world, the real world..." While I do not roll in those circles any longer, I am not foolish to believe that it was all hogwash. I understand that what I am seeing is only a crust of what is really to be seen. Which brings me to Covid-19
Governments all employ some form of population control. Whether it is abortion, birth control pills, or the prison industrial complex. There is only so much earth and only so much resources. Many people do not understand or want to understand that poor people are often attacked in any number of sordid ways. Poor dieting, drug addiction, social disease, police brutality, or the prison system are some of the ways population is put under surveillance. It is hard to imagine that Covid 19 is something that is the result of natural progression and not something manufactured. Pandemics are apart of history and this post modern society is now experiencing this destructive virus. Technology is such that one may think that pandemics are or should be a thing of the past. Yet, scientists in particular knew that we were headed for a pandemic. That prediction went from speculation to life changes for everyone. Social distancing and shutting down marketplace or worship centers were employed to slow the spread. Yet, people became restless. People yearned to go back to life as normal. Yet, there is a new normal and people are constantly fighting against it. If the disease spreading does not slow, then more people will be sick and many of those sick will die. Its that simple. Yet on this memorial weekend, the beaches and parks are crowded. I am digusted and left wondering if the government and business are in cahoots together for nothing more than greed. I listen to sports commentators talk with excitement about sports returning. As if progress, real progress has been made. The truth is, real progress has not been made. Are they trying to kill people? I do not know. Yet the conspiracy theorist in me says they are. :(
