Positive vibes

Had a restless night. We all get them - you wake up in the early hours, and no matter what you try, your brain is running overtime on all sorts of issues.  No matter what you do, there’s no way to switch off and get back to sleep again.

If you’re one of those folk who have been enlightened to what’s going on around us, and hell that’s a HUGE number of people over recent months, you’ll know the moments keep coming at you where you wonder whether we can make a difference. Can we wake up enough people so that the “100 Monkeys Syndrome” kicks in, and the whole conspiracy is revealed as being self evident to everyone?  How it works is that in communities of species, there comes a point where enough monkeys (or whatever) know how to do something, or have the knowledge in their brains, that suddenly ALL of the monkeys know how to do something or are aware of a fact or set of facts.  Their fellow monkeys have never done the action, or came across the knowledge, but suddenly it’s all self-evident.

This is why when people ask what they should be doing to fight the situation we find ourselves in, the answer is simply to keep spreading the word.  It sounds lame, but it’s following the rules of the 100 Monkeys.  If we all look at the BBC 6 O’Clock News and can see where the truth ends and the lies begin, then we cannot be lied to again.

Equally, the answer is not to go on marches, as these will be engineered to turn into riots. The Mainstream Media is TELLING us there will be riots this summer - so guess what will happen? You’ll have establishment goons amongst the ranks of the demonstrators there to ensure that the best efforts to keep protests peaceful will be turned into violence.  Non-cooperation with the system is the way forward.  We stick with those who are being picked upon, no matter what their supposed crime is - putting their bins out on the wrong day, fined for parking in a space they are entitled to but the private company in charge wants to get cash out of them,  threatened with legal action for an internet download that was never made.  The list goes on.

So, to a couple of little incidents that have made me smile and given me renewed energy to get the truth out.  Firstly, we did a Cult TV postal mailshot - the last one we will ever do, to selll our back catalogue of DVDs and magazines, and also to publicise The Alternative View conference in May (http://www.avll.co.uk).  On the downside, we had a couple of people saying “Send me Cult TV stuff, but please never send me the other sort of stuff ever again”.

Closed minds.  How strange is it that people have such a negative reaction to part of their mailing that they feel the necessity to write in to say that they don’t want to even be advised of something that they might not know about (actually, strike that, they DEFINITELY don’t know about - I have yet to meet a defender of the established view of the world who knows what they are talking about!).

But, one letter basically said that they could see where I was coming from, and enclosed a clipping from the newsletter of the Campaign Against the Arms Trade, which was UFO star Ed Bishop’s obituary.  Ed was a CAAT supporter, and had been part of a publicity stunt where he tried to gain entry to an Arms Fair dressed as a South American Dictator.  So, in other words, one of our Cult TV heroes would probably be supportive of what The Alternative View is trying to do.

So, that was uplifting.  And then something very minor, but equally impactful.  I’ve been selling some stuff on eBay, and with every package sent out I’ve been enclosing as a free extra a very good DVD transfer of “Big Brother - The Big Picture”.  One of the buyers put the following down as feedback: “Thanks for the freebee but you are preaching to the choir I’m afraid! Good stuff”.

Seems inconsequential, but this short sentence said more than anything else - the word is spreading, the people are waking up, and we are getting ever closer to the 100 Monkeys we need that will bring down the walls of this huge conspiracy.

So, that’s why I’m smiling this morning after seeing that feedback on eBay.

We’re winning … !
