There’s no powerful, convincing rationale for the visual above: it is there to make a point about the insane complexity of life in the 21st century, but that isn’t why I created it. As the French say, “Ce n’etait que pour s’amuser” – I put the image together for fun, and to connect with my middle granddaughter Rosa – whose design instincts are (already at the age of seven) remarkable, and give me untold joy.
However, the image captured wih a smartphone (and then shared via Gmail to transfer it to my laptop) has – in the process – lost the rosé colour of the original shot: it’s too blue. So I decided to download GIMP photo manipulation software. This – I foolishly believed – could improve the authenticity of the shells/petals contrast, and be of use to add a visual dimension for future satire at The Slog.
The GIMP download took three hours. The ‘Help’ AI is impenetrable, and the manipulation settings bear the usual hallmarks of misleading function descriptions that continue to baffle real people worldwide. Twenty-two years on from my first plea to app/software concerns to keep those suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) away from the process of explanation, navigation and emotional connection, the obfuscation of process is worse than ever. [New Slog Law here: the application of the suffix ‘ation’ is central to the problem in every Nation of frustration caused by needless complication].
So I set out to banish the GIMP download. But in trying to do that – itself a four-dimensional lesson in flushing parasites down to the sewers – I discovered something else: all roads online now lead to the Outlook of Microsoft. To get something the Gates Motel likes off your computer is a travail that brings the reality of Global fascist monopolism into sharp focus.
Everyday empirical observation confirms the sickness in our species. I go to a bar and watch the goal celebrations on TV screens: they demonstrate not just the narcissism of such antics, but also the infantile foot-stamping if and when the VAR replay system disallows the goal. What this highlights is the inability of professionals in 2025 to control emotions via self-discipline.
I go to a restaurant for dinner and watch a bloke on the next table apparently engrossed in watching an international darts semi-final on the big screen – and yet unable to stop tapping away on his smartphone small screen. I experience dilatory service in the eaterie, and observe yet again the systemic chaos that helps a commercial concern ignore what the customer wants in favour of minimal inconvenience to the owners of said concern.
I set out in search of pharmacy shopping, and observe a braindead traffic dilemma just outside my apartment. A risibly inconsiderate ‘Safari Tour’ bus has parked in the middle of the road in order to collect its ignorant First World tourism dupes prior to a counterfeit tour of crocodile pools and Monkey reserves. A Mexican stand-off develops, whereby traffic trying to leave Senegambia meets every kind of pollutant vehicle trying to arrive at the very same same place. Being an idiot, I point out to both wannabe arrivals and departure drivers what’s required to resolve the traffic jam. They express a preference for honking horns.
I read yet more World Health Organisation Avian-Flu warnings very obviously trying to turn us all into bird-brain scaredycats devoid of any voyager genes…hypochondriacs willing to become dependent slaves of the pill-pushers.
Yet I refuse to see any of these symptoms as leading to inevitable New Normal dystopia. Rather than the human race simply descending into ideological fantasies, I see Homo sapiens as emerging from five decades of feelgood nonsense into a new radical reality.
Take, for example, the rumours swirling around Washington that Team Trump is prepping a major speech for soon after inauguration day that will banish the WHO from all power over US healthcare. This would be a deadly poke in the eye for the vaccine-as-bioweapon forces still harbouring twisted ambitions of selective genocide. Encouraged by the initial hint offered to me by RFKJr supporters, I now note that Martin Armstrong is pushing the story….and ever sharp-eyed Slogger Carmel McCormack also spots this influential substack’s view that the new Administration’s movers and shakers ‘have made plans to immediately extricate the US from from the putrid corrupted inept WHO scam’.
We’re also seeing a closer and more damning analysis of what Anthony Fauci’s “Gain of Function” cover-story was really all about: Robert Malone revisits the Obama White House definition of GOF – ‘research that improves the ability of a pathogen to cause disease’, delving further into the obvious conclusion to be drawn from the word “cause” in that description – ie, that Fauci was engaged in studies to create a disguised bio-weapon. Equally, the indefatigable Jessica Rose airs an article that demonstrates excessive amounts of DNA in tested vials of COVID “vaccines”, asking ‘When the regulators (HC, TGA, specifically) were appraised of these findings from a multitude of labs from around the world, why did they underplay the importance and relevance of replication-competent foreign DNA in the vials, especially when SV40 promoter/enhancer is among them?” Good question.
Reality is also at last emerging on the economic front. Long-time Slog follower Christo Quigley points me to this piece at Zero Hedge noting that ‘U.S. credit card defaults have surged to their highest levels since 2008. Lenders have written off $46 billion in delinquent balances in the first nine months of 2024—a 50% increase from last year.’
Two weeks ago I posted that the debt crisis had already arrived – pointing out that lack of First World confidence and spiralling energy costs have been major contributors to what has been a disastrous season for Gambian tourism.
Slowly but surely, electorates across the World are waking up to the coming multi-dimensional reset.
