A Dry-Rot World??

Press Play Above And Follow Along With The The words Below

Has the world caught dry-rot’s breath?
Most definitely, the signs foretell death.
Both instinct and common sense conspire,
To whisper truth through creeping fire.

We think of fungus gnawing wood,
A worm that hollows what once stood.
At first a weakness, soft, unseen,
Then dust and nothing where strength had been.

Returned to soil, to who-knows-what,
Experts define the tale we’re taught.
Their truths are filtered, tightly spun,
Decided by “The Few” for everyone.

So what have we done in all these years?
Mined the earth through sweat and tears.
Diamonds stolen, rubies bled,
Gold and silver torn from bed.

Aluminium, plutonium, rare ores,
Coal and gas from ancient stores.
Billions of tons in hungry hand,
We feed our greed, we scar the land.

A fungus feeding, that’s what we are,
Predators circling a fading star.
This Blue-Moon home, once bright, once kind,
Now choked by rot of human mind.

Drive a road in Britain small,
Imagine fuel in tanks of all.
Unfathomable, a daily drain,
And worldwide, the numbers chain.

Are we the rot? The answer’s near,
The echo whispers—yes, my dear.
Subterranean halls are made,
For Elites to hide when debts are paid.

Fracking blasts the earth’s own veins,
Poisoned water, fractured plains.
Where is wisdom? Lost, betrayed,
Life for The Few is all that’s weighed.

Climate’s mask hides deeper lies,
Media chants, the truth denies.
Wake your senses, raise your sight,
We are the rot, the endless blight.

A cancer burrowing through the blue,
But is this world still ours
or theirs, or you?

Mother Nature Cared Since Birth
This Blue Moon that We Call Earth.
We ALL act on Her Command,
We are caretakers of Our Land.

‘The Pub With No Beer’ is a Socialist Goal – Socialism sounds like a political ideology that would cherish the idea of a ‘Social Community/Society’ But it’s not! – The truth is the Exact! Opposite! – ‘Divide & Conquer’ is their aim, and where better than the good old traditional pub! where many of us would put the world to rights, have a good laugh and meet our future partners, all over a few bevvies with a group of strangers and friends?

“Socialist” sounds like fists in the air,
For social rights, for voices to share.
But being “social” is stamped as a crime,
By those who profit from wasting our time.

The Uni-Party whispers, “Keep them apart,
No chatter, no laughter, no meeting of heart”.

Divide and conquer, their favourite song,
A pint with your mates?
No, that feels wrong.

The pub, the club, the youth club too,
Places for bonding, all fading from view.
Nights out of joy, smoke curling the air,
A basket of chips, no burdens to bear.

But then came the Foodie craze on the screen,
Shiny cuisine where chatter’d once been.
Ads and shows pounding night and day,
Teaching us ‘gluttony’ pays the way.

An unhealthy crowd, more pills to sell,
Big Pharma grins—OH! – isn’t that swell?
.
And MP’s clutch their pharma shares,
As pubs transform to ‘foodie lairs’.

No talk with strangers, no hearty cheer,
Just menus bloated, conversations can’t hear.

Conglomerates feast, – landlords bleed,
Debt upon debt, – no end – no need.
The shutters fall, the pub is gone,
The property’s sold, the cycle goes on.

The Government smiles, the owners too,
But where does that leave me and you?
Joe Public drifts to the neon glow,
Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, that’s where to go.
Or huddled at home with a takeaway meal,

Addictive, convenient,
stripping the real.

They call it “social,”
but we know it’s not,
Connection erased,
community shot.

And somewhere above,
they toast with delight,
The Uni-Party’s plan
Is working just RIGHT!

The Streets of Shame

At eight the boys take up their guard,
At each end standing, watching hard.
A whistle calls, a signal clear,
For every car that dares draw near.

The street they claim as bed-sit land,
A place the police let slip from hand.
Once dubbed the worst this nation knew,
The truth was harsh, yet spoken true.

By day the blinds are closed, asleep,
By night the shadows crawl and creep.
A lawless brood, with fearless eyes,
Where innocence and mercy dies.

A drunk returns, his steps unsure,
The blows descend, the screams endure.
Bloodied bodies left to rot,
Or dragged inside, their torment wrought.

The women meet a subtler snare,
A punctured tyre, despair laid bare.
A kindly voice, a guiding hand,
A trap too cruel to understand.

A sudden crack, a body still,
The van awaits to take its fill.
Another car will take its place,
Another victim’s fleeting grace.

The neighbours watch yet dare not speak,
The gangs ensure their silence bleak.
Three basements burnt in grim display,
A warning none would disobey.

Reporters shrugged, the stories died,
The gangs grew rich, the law stood by.
Till rising rents forced them to flee,
Their evil spread elsewhere, set free.

But streets like these still hide their scars,
Behind the pubs, beneath the stars.
Where law is blind and greed holds reign,
The streets of shame are born again.

The Rise Of – ‘The Enforcer’ – Jack-Boot-Warriors

Press Play Above And Follow Along With The The words Below

.
Why are more children, more adults today,
Shaking with fear in a world gone astray?
Is “anxiety rising” a natural tide,
Or a mark of control that they cannot hide?

Do labels of illness give “lesser” a name,
A category built for control and for shame?
Are governments pushing our buttons too hard,
Forcing compliance, erasing the scarred?

In thirty years past, the councils have grown,
Enforcers emerging with powers well known.
From traffic to litter, new titles arise,
Each one a warden with watchful eyes.

Daily we walk, yet we’re never alone,
For fines wait in shadows where rules have been sown.
Slip once with your coffee, your child drops a sweet,
The Jackboots are waiting to pounce on the street.

Filmed in the shadows, they skulk for their prey,
Salivating for errors to fine on the day.
If you turn from their judgment, resist or walk on,
They’ll chase you to doorsteps until you’re undone.

Who gave such power to these Little Hitlers?
Not by election, not by the voters.
Uniforms merging with police in disguise,
A trick of the mind, a game for our eyes.

Once trust in the Bobby was part of our land,
Now officers walk with no helping hand.
Respect is dissolving, replaced now with fear,
The lines have been blurred, the purpose unclear.

Subservience taught in the classroom’s domain,
Obedience drilled in the national brain.
With fines, prison cells, and humiliation,
They tighten the chains of a docile nation.

Enforcers are tools of the puppeteers’ scheme,
To fracture our trust and dismantle the dream.
Hate for the police then grows by design,
The Perfect Storm rising, all planned, all aligned.

Martial Law waiting, the uniforms near,
The PACE card of power enforcing our fear.
Homes open for entry, objections erased,
Consequences delivered, dissenters displaced.

And TV distracts with its glossy charades,
Police chasing joy-riders in loud cavalcades.
A circus of waste, a spectacle staged,
To brand them as fools while the system’s engaged.

Do you see now the path where this story will go?
A world under watch, where freedom runs slow.
For the price of compliance is liberty’s fall—
And you, Friend – Are under the Eye – After all.

Why Would We Think It OK To Use Our Smart-Phones? 9

So – How to play into the strengths of
The Smart-Phone camera? 10

The – ‘Turn Your Photo’s Into Cash’ – Blog. 13

The Cash-Cow In Your Pocket:

Ok, most of us have one and we seldom go anywhere without it, it even goes with us into the toilet and sits by our bedside at night within arms reach
(just in case) ,,,,,, Our mobile phone is like an extension of our own personality, everything goes on there, gets done on there, and gets saved on there. If that phone goes missing or gets broken in some way, we’re likely to have a mini-meltdown ,,,,, Correct?

So ,,,,, If our mobile phone is Soooo valuable to us, why wouldn’t we decide to make it pay it’s way in the form of a regular cash income? And believe it or not, it’s so easy to do and to set up that you’ll literally kick yourself for not thinking about it sooner. But don’t worry, you’ve got this handy little E-book that will tell you exactly ‘how’ you can do just that utilizing your camera on your mobile phone.

For instance; you must realise just how many blogs, websites, social media accounts like Facebook etc are set up every day for both business and personal use. There are literally hundreds of thousands every day, and that’s without the Millions of Blog-Posts that get written and published daily. And this is where ‘You’ come in.

You see, ‘You’ have something that ALL of these people need and want. Something that most are more than willing to PAY you for in hard cash into your Bank account. You have photographic images that aren’t already the property of some large photographic agency like ‘Getty Images’ for example, where they have to pay serious money to be able to use those photo’s and then on top of that, there are usually too many ‘conditions of use’ tagged along with their purchase.

Now while you might think no-one but you would be at all interested in your images, you’d be seriously ‘wrong’! Your images are exactly what people want. They’re fresh to the market, your buyers can crop out the bits they want to use, and they can play around and use them in whatever way they wish. Your photo’s are a Webmaster or Bloggers dream come true, and YES! They are quite happy to pay you for your pic’s that will otherwise just sit on your phone or computer, maybe Facebook or Instagram etc too, but either way, those photo’s aren’t earning you any money at all, when they could be producing a residual income for you ,,,,,,, for years to come 🙂

How To Milk That Cash-Cow In Your Pocket:

Firstly; you might want to set up an account with one of the many online photographic agencies if you want to do this in the ‘hands-off’ way. In other words if you just want to take the photographs, load them up onto the website of whichever agency you choose, then sit back and wait for people to see your images and then click-to-buy, that’s the best and easiest option.

You’ve doubtless heard of www.istockphoto.com who are probably the most prominent agency on the net today. There are many others of course, and all you’ll need to do is ‘Google’ the term “Sell Photos Online” and you’ll be faced with as many choices as you can handle. Most are Free to join and all will complete the transactions on your behalf, giving you your commission cheque each month, or paid directly into your Paypal or Bank account at your request (If you’ve earned the minimum requirement of course)

On the other hand, you could set your own website up, choose an ‘Agency’ theme to go with, and set your very own terms and conditions, then you just have to upload your images and – ‘Promote the Bejeezus out of it’ 😉

Get your domain from GoDaddy.com, Your hosting from Hostgator.com and you’re ready to get your WordPress site (included in the Hostgator package) up and running, all for less than $15- usually.
If you’re not sure how you’d go about this, your old friend Youtube.com will give you all the instruction you can handle.
Just ‘ask’ in the search bar and there are loads of instructional videos for GoDaddy and Hostgator as well as how to build your WordPress site/blog.

Whichever way you go, one thing is for certain;
You WILL need to; promote – promote – promote 😉

How To – Promote the Bejeezus out of it:

You’ll want the World and their Auntie to know about your photographic images that you have for sale, and you’ll want them to tell others about your images too, but don’t worry, there’s nothing too hard about this and it can all be done for ‘Free!’ – especially as we’ve got Twitter,/X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google etc, all clamouring for us to share our videos and our images to their ever-growing audiences, and who are WE to deny them 🙂

If you’re a little bit astute, then you’ll be wondering ‘why’ have I left Pinterest out of the list above? That’s because Pinterest is your Key to unlocking the potential of your ‘Cash-Cow-Photography’.
It thrives on images and it encourages you to state ‘where’ the photograph was sourced from, and that is your cue to insert the link from either your own website, or the page on iStock.com (or wherever) that they can see the image and potentially ‘buy’ that image.

Everyone who visits Pinterest and wishes to Re-Pin an image onto their own boards are ‘also encouraged’ to share that image with all of the other social network sites (above & + some) helping it to go viral 🙂

Webmasters and Bloggers use Pinterest Religiously to source their images, because if you don’t know already, you can type any subject/niche` into the Pinterest search bar and you can browse through 1,000’s of images associated with that niche` or subject matter. If your image has received plenty of views, it will be near the top of those search pages, so it will be in your own interest to share your Pinterest ‘Pin’ with as many friends/followers as you can via social media sites. If you’re not already signed up to them, then get your skates on and start building your following NOW!

As you know, Instagram is ‘The! social network site to share your pic’s these days. But did you know that there is a proven way to use Instagram to make a lot of money for you from those images?

Make Every Photo Count:

If you’re like most people, you’ll happily snap away at many of the things you see, and with the inclusion of the ‘Rolling Shutter Effect’ on most smart Phones it’s becoming more easy to get that ‘perfect’ shot, identify it quickly, and then save it to your phone (or save them all for even more effective options including comic-strip presentations ). This is not necessarily a bad thing because photo’s taken on the hoof can prove really interesting in their own way and also look very natural and appealing.

Have you ever used the various app’s or computer software to change or enhance your photo’s?
Do you look at the image you’re going to take in the first place to see if you could maybe frame it better?

Would you know how to get a better angle or better subject inclusion for a more perfect pic?

These are all things that, unless we’re trained in some way in photography, we wouldn’t really consider while we’re snapping away. But if the end game is to make a reliable residual income from our photo’s then maybe we should find out more about how to take a ‘perfect picture’, large or small, and how to embellish or enhance our images so that they appear more desirable to those looking for images to put on their websites, blogs, e-books etc.

Before you load your images onto a website for sale, you’ll want to get them sorted first and then be putting your very best examples up first so that when potential buyers see your images they’ll see a portfolio of good, well organised and very useful pictures that they can use very easily and therefore make money from also. After all, that’s the end-game that we all have in mind.
There are many Free E-courses on Youtube, and by utilising some of those you’ll be putting yourself head and shoulders above many of your competition who are just ‘winging it’ with the snaps they take and loading them up more in hope than in confident anticipation.

You have invested a small amount of time for this E-book which I really hope is proving helpful. But don’t stop there, because for a little bit more investment time in your own future, you could set yourself up for life, not just as a part-time, casual photographer, but as a serious contender who is more than prepared to take it to the big-boys in the photography world ‘And WIN!’

Street Art Photography Tips:

Tip 1: Leave your phone on standby;

Have you ever come across a situation where you see an interesting scene in the street and desperately want to shoot it but the picture goes missing while you turn on your phone and wait for the photography APP to open?
YEP! – Opportunity will ‘not’ wait for you.

I usually leave my Phone in ‘photography mode’, it’s then easy for me to unlock the phone screen and immediately start shooting at any time, it means I seldom miss the pictures I want to shoot in the street.

Tip 2: Stabilise your smart-phone;

It sounds obvious, but if you don’t stabilise it you’ll get the following issue:

You will find that the main body of the photo looks fuzzy on the small screen of the phone. This will affect the final picture, so you should always stabilise your phone (where possible) when shooting, especially in low-light conditions.

Tip 3: Make good use of your headphones;

If you have a headset ‘voice activation button’ you can also use that as a shutter, sometimes you don’t want to disturb the object/person that you want to shoot in your street photography, so you can pretend you’re listening to music or talking on the phone, therefore letting you take your photographs discretely. It also allows you to reduce the vibration when you press the shutter button or accidentally touch the phone screen.

Tip 4: Lock The Aperture;

Some APPS functionality includes the locking of the aperture and focal length. I personally like the aperture lock function, natural light on the street is very random, locking the aperture allows me to better control the light. It can not only give proper exposure to the photo, but it also allows me to take different atmospherical shots in the same lighting conditions.

Tip 5: Just shooting;

Never hesitate when taking street photographs, those natural scenes on the street seldom appear a second time. If you don’t like the photo, you can always delete it, but you absolutely cannot let a street scene slip you by. Therefore, if your instincts guide you to shoot, then you shoot, just don’t hesitate. Using the Rolling Shutter Effect can also be ‘so’ helpful here.

Tip 6: Foreknowledge;

You never know what will happen in the streets. The ability to predict is not always present, so use your powers of observation to determine how interesting scenarios ‘might’ occur.

Tip 7: Charge your battery before going out;

I usually take an external battery with me during my street photography jaunts. A fatal flaw of many Phones is the power endurance. So, please remember not to go out shooting until ‘after’ the battery is fully charged, unless of course you have a fully charged back-up battery.

Tip 8: Waiting;

Scenes on the street are random and sporadic, but sometimes you can “create” the narrative of the screen. For example, waiting for someone to walk through/past an interesting movie poster, or waiting for a group of people to walk across a pedestrian crossing in unison for example. Street photography is not just holding a cell phone or a camera aimlessly looking for targets in the streets, you should always just stop and observe, maybe it will help you shoot your next masterpiece.

Why Would We Think It OK To Use Our Smart-Phones?

It’s easy to dismiss our Smart-Phone cameras, after all, they are hidden in plain sight and right there every time we “slide to unlock” our phones.

So you can’t take any “real” pictures with them, right?

Perhaps you’re one of the many photographers who think that it’s not a “real” camera and that, to get the best images photographically you really need to lug around a giant DSLR complete with all of the lenses you can fit into your pack.

Even Ansel Adams had to use a mule to carry his camera gear at one point, right? So how could something so small and easy to use ‘actually’ take acceptable images?

Well, Smart-Phone cameras, photography, and optics in general, have changed over the years. Gone are the days of needing large camera equipment – camera manufacturers and modern optics have dictated that we are now doing more with less. Combine that with the notion that a seasoned photographer will know how to make best use of equipment, whatever equipment he or she has available, and you have a recipe for some great images.

Sure, it’s great to have a DSLR available, and most Smart-Phone photographers will still have one at their disposal, but that doesn’t mean you can’t also take some great images and make some lasting artwork with your new little buddy, the Smart-Phone camera.

As a working photographer, I play to the strengths of ‘all’ of my equipment. In the past, large format cameras gave me crisp, highly detailed images, but they were heavy and hard to work with in tight situations.

Likewise, 35mm cameras were great for shooting street scenes because they allowed the photographer to go unnoticed in the urban jungle.

Medium format cameras offered a compromise of sorts-they offered large enough negatives so that we could retouch images but in a smaller, easy to carry package.

Polaroid’s gave us instant results, so these were often used to test lighting, but then their colour gamut helped turn them into a funky alternative to “straight” shooting.

Now the Smart-Phone cameras have come along and opened up some amazing new possibilities.

The Smart-Phone is portable, easy to use, easy to hide, and not as scary as a “real” camera. The structure of the phone makes the camera easy to angle. If you want to take a picture of the undercarriage of your car, for example, good luck trying to get an 8×10 view camera down there, but, a Smart-Phone? Yes, you can easily hold it and tilt it to get the right camera angle. Also, the convenience of deleting images you don’t like is offered along with easy access to sharing your photo’s with the Internet and social media sites such as Facebook.

Try taking an image using an 8×10 view camera from ‘Shot-to-Facebook’ in under a few minutes – that’s not likely to happen really, but of course, the results will probably be very different. So, if it’s large crisp negatives you’re after, you’ll probably want to pass on the Smart-Phone camera anyway, but you can still use it to work on the angles and get some shots that otherwise would not be available to you as a photographer with the more clumbersome state-of-the-art DSLR cameras.

So – How to play into the strengths of
The Smart-Phone camera?

Well for starters, it’s easy to hold and it fits in your pocket. If you’re one of those photographers who would benefit from shooting a lot more and reviewing your results more easily, the Smart-Phone can come in very handy here. You should definitely think about adding one to your camera bag if you haven’t already.

The Smart-Phone camera is also easy to get away with. Because so many people have iPhones and Smart-Phones in general, some establishments that would otherwise ban photography might allow you to get away with taking Smart-Phone images.

Supposing you’ve always wanted to take images inside a theatre for example. This is not the kind of place you would be able to sneak in a camera, probably not even a DSLR, but most folks walk right in with their Smart-Phone in tow, so you have access into an otherwise restricted subject or area with a high resolution, multi-functional, real digital camera.

I’m not suggesting you compromise nuclear secrets here or anything quite like that, but this is something you can make the most of, especially in places like restaurants, theatres, stores, and the like. You’re less likely to be evicted, ejected, or otherwise removed if the only camera you’re carrying is actually a phone.

The “easy to get away with” feature doesn’t just stop at location though. Certain subjects are far more likely to open up to the Smart-Phone camera. Since most people have Smart-Phones themselves, they are less likely to be apprehensive about having their picture taking with a mobile phone camera.

This can make for great portraits and make it easier to take spontaneous images. Try doing that with a larger camera.

Whichever type of camera you choose to use is obviously your personal choice, but please don’t underestimate the ‘Earning POWER’ of digital photography. And how you can very easily make a great residual income doing something you’re already doing anyway.

P.S. Maybe you’re thinking to yourself that this is a pretty short book and that you were expecting a whole lot more content for your money.
Well, that’s a reasonable thought I suppose. But rather than overwhelm you with useless ‘filler’ content like most ‘How-To’ Books/Manuals/Reports do, I thought I’d just give you the simple, straight-forward method that 1,000’s of people just like you are using daily to make a very healthy income for themselves.

It ‘is’ a simple concept and you don’t need to get overwhelmed by unnecessary information overload. So re-read this short E-book and inwardly digest it. Your sub-conscious mind will kick in and probably kick you in the butt too to get you motivated and moving on, putting all of this good advice into action as soon as possible.

Now – just in case you ‘are’ looking to overwhelm yourself with information of ‘every kind’ imaginable 😉

The ‘Brown Crusader’ And His ‘Juliet Darling’ Plot Communist Dream.

Press Play Above And Follow Along With The The words Below

A dream was born in youthful halls,
Where red ideals adorned the walls.
A vision glowed, a purpose clear,
A Socialist path – drew ever near.

The Brown Crusader raised his eye,
To seek the Holy Grail’s disguise.
Yet first a warrior he must find,
A willing pawn, a man guilt-blind.

The Blair Warrior charged ahead,
Through smoke and fire, the foes lay dead.
While Brown stood back with a steady hand,
To seize the riches of the land.

The treasury fell to his embrace,
A chubby hand, a calculating face.
Illusions painted – gold – and bright,
Concealed the gambler in the night.

The people feasted, blind to cost,
On borrowed wealth that soon was lost.
Credit free, the carrot dangled,
But dreams of plenty turned entangled.

The warrior’s cry:
“The only way’s up!”
Yet poison brewed in the nation’s cup.
.
Businesses staggered, burdened, taxed,
While coffers emptied, over-maxed.

A decade passed; the mask still worn,
The fabric of Britain – tattered, – torn.
The Blair Warrior cast aside,
Rewarded still, though truth denied.

At last the Crusader’s moment came,
To thrust the sword, to stake his claim.
And at his side, with smile beguiling,
Appeared his Juliet – Dear Darling.

Together they plunged, both hand in hand,
The fatal wound into the land.
And onward marched with eyes of flame,
To greet their Masters, praise their name.

The POWER! Of MLM

Please Follow Along With The Poem Below.

With doubt in your pocket, you wander in here,
“MLM? Isn’t that something to fear?
A Ponzi? A scheme? Just a fraudulent plan?
A way to deceive your own kith and your clan?”

The media chant what the governments say,
That MLM cheats in a pyramid way.
Yet taxes themselves are a Ponzi in guise,
Disguised with big jargon, confusion, and lies.

They promise returns for the cash that we pay,
“Our roads and our schools will be built in this way.”
But trillions in debt show the sham on the stage,
And wars reignite just to fatten the cage.

Chain letters once flourished in decades gone by,
Send ten to your friends, and your earnings would fly.
Even Ford used the method, his empire to grow,
But governments banned it—they couldn’t allow.

They feared common folk with too much in their hand,
The nouveau riche rising to challenge their stand.
So “fraudulent scam!” was the cry they imposed,
And sheep simply nodded—the ruling was closed.

Then MLM rose, yet was tarred with the same,
A pyramid? Scam? Just another false name.
But truth shows its strength if you bother to look,
It’s the oldest and truest of marketing books.

For Apple, for Google, for Tesla, for banks,
Referral and networks all bolster their ranks.
Even religions spread words in this way,
“Go forth, multiply”—that command still holds sway.

So MLM stands as a tool tried and true,
For me and for others, for all—even you.
From any background, whatever your role,
The network can prosper, enrich, and console.

The Life-Wisdom of MLM

There’s wisdom in the networked way,
Though many turn their eyes away.
Too trained to think inside the wall,
They miss the pattern that guides it all.

From crypto coins to Amazon’s stage,
To Substack’s words and LinkedIn’s cage,
From Microsoft’s cloud to viral show,
Each whispers the creed — *Grow, baby, grow!*

The model’s clear, the roots run deep,
It’s MLM’s soul the giants keep.
Each friend recruits, each post extends,
Each follower cycle never ends.

It’s not a scheme, but how we rise,
Through webs of truth that monetise.
Yet blinded minds refuse to see,
They mock the climb, call it folly.

The woke mind virus, cold and loud,
It fogs the thought, it dims the proud.
It cripples drive, it dulls the spark,
And leaves the builders in the dark.

The model’s clear, the roots run deep,
It’s MLM’s soul the giants keep.
Each friend recruits, each post extends,
Each follower cycle never ends.

But when the dreamers wake once more,
And balance thought with deeds of yore,
Then doers do and thinkers think,
And barter fair at reason’s brink.

No clash of creed, no endless fight,
Just trade of value, shared insight.
No kings to rule, no fools to bow,
The world can breathe in rhythm now.

The network hums, the markets spin,
Collaboration woven in.
Each node a voice, each voice a flame,
All part of one eternal game.

The model’s clear, the roots run deep,
It’s MLM’s soul the giants keep.
Each friend recruits, each post extends,
Each follower cycle never ends.

So let the sleepers stir and see,
The code beneath reality.
For MLM’s not just a scheme —
It’s life’s own fractal, living dream.

Well Now! – I reckon a lot of you visiting this post will have come with a pocket-full of doubt. – MLM ?? – Isn’t that PONZI Schemes, Chain-Letters, Defrauding and Bothering Friends & Family? etc; etc;

Well NO! – That’s the line Governments World-Wide have pushed through the MSM/Main-Stream-Media for years now. The same way that they’ve pushed the lie that ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ is a legitimate term to describe people who expose the ‘Truth!’ that governments worldwide don’t want the public to know about.

For instance, all governments use a PONZI Scheme to draw taxes from the public and businesses. They dress it up in jargon designed to NOT be understood by the ‘common-man’, but nevertheless they do use the ponzi-scheme to attract money that they have NO desire to pay back.

A Ponzi scheme is a type of investment fraud that lures investors by promising high returns with little or no risk. The scheme pays earlier investors with the capital contributed by newer investors, rather than from profit earned by the operation of a legitimate business. As more people are drawn into the scheme, the organizer uses their investments to pay returns to the earlier investors, creating the illusion of a profitable enterprise.

Here are some key characteristics of a Ponzi scheme:

Promise of High Returns with Little Risk: Ponzi schemes often attract investors by promising unusually high returns on investments with little or no risk. These promises are typically unrealistic and unsustainable.
Consistent Returns: Regardless of market conditions, Ponzi schemes typically promise and deliver consistent returns to investors, further convincing them of the scheme’s legitimacy.
Lack of Transparency: The investment strategy and the business model of a Ponzi scheme are often vague, complex, or secretive. Investors may not be provided with clear, accurate information about how their money is being invested.
Difficulty Receiving Payments: As the scheme progresses, it may become increasingly difficult for investors to withdraw their money or receive their returns. Organizers might provide excuses or create delays to prevent investors from cashing out.
Collapse: Ponzi schemes rely on a constant influx of new investors to pay returns to earlier investors. Eventually, the scheme collapses when it becomes difficult to recruit new investors or when a large number of existing investors attempt to cash out simultaneously.

The term “Ponzi scheme” is named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated a fraudulent investment scheme in the early 20th century involving international postal reply coupons. Ponzi promised investors high returns by trading these coupons, but he was actually using the money from new investors to pay off earlier ones, creating the illusion of a successful business.

You may well say; That’s nothing like the taxation system that governments use. We’re not investors, we HAVE to PAY whether We like it or NOT!
YES! we DO! …. But taxes are ‘sold’ to us on the pretext of; “You give US a proportion of your earnings or profits and in return We’ll look after ‘everything’ for You. Roads, Education, Health, Food Supplies, National Security, etc; etc; All You! have to do is earn a wage, start a business, live the life you please, and WE! the Government will do everything for you in return for that small Investment as a percentage of your earnings/profits”.

Sounds like a GREAT Investment to Me! 🙂

Of course! Recently we’re hearing in 2024 that America now ‘owes’ so many Trillions of Dollars and that it will NEVER! be able to pay back the Loans it has taken out to Prop-up the Initial Investment by the Public/Business Taxes, and the NATION could face Bankruptcy. The UK is in a similar position. As is ALL of the other Nations who use the Taxing method to run the country. The chickens are coming home to roost. With WAR being the next resort to regenerate the funds so desperately needed via Arms Deals and Re-Construction work on Devastated Towns, Cities, Communities over areas Destroyed! In the process of War!

Now let’s look at the Chain-Letters shall We? – Us Baby-Boomers remember well the chain-letter phenomenon. We could send out ten letters (or more) to random folk or friends and family, who would then replicate the action after first paying the persons (Usually 4 or 5 – $£1- each who SENT them the invitation) a pre-determined fee for the privilege. The power of Geometric Progression ensured a great return on our small investment if a good proportion joined in. We were regularly pleased with the results. A really good way to earn an extra income when times were hard back in the 50’s – 70’s. and of course! There’s the much publicised version of events where Henry Ford actually used the Chain-Letter phenomenon to raise funds to GROW Ford back in the early days.

SADLY! the governments didn’t much like ‘The Common Man’ becoming fairly rich in a relatively short amount of time and feared the rise of ‘The Nouveau Riche’ who were entering politics and spoiling their money-hoover cartel’s. So they made Chain-Letters Illegal – To ‘protect’ us ALL from the fraudulent Ponzi-Type-Scheme. Of course, the Sheeple sucked-it-up and accepted it.

Because MLM was very similar to the chain-letter method of wealth generation, folk started calling it a ‘Pyramid Scheme’ – A Ponzi-Scheme’ – a ‘Chain-Letter Scam’ .. All promoted through the MSM as though it was FACT!
Thus! MLM or Network Marketing as it’s now known as, still gets a regular bashing from those who can’t see the wood-for-the-trees.

If TRUTH be told – MLM is ‘the’ perfect marketing tool, where anyone, from anywhere, from any walk-of-life, educated or NOT! – It simply doesn’t matter, can make a very good living as MLM/Network Marketing is used in EVERY BUSINESS! …. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Tesla, Facebook, Uber, ALL! Social Media Platforms, Religions, Banks, – YES! BANKS! – (Referral Incentives) – They ALL followed Jesus – who used it by telling his disciples “Go Forth And Multiply – Spread My Message Far And Wide” – And they DID! Very successfully too! Using the Power of Geometric Progression – MLM!

Now I expect you’re waiting for me to Flog you a Network-Marketing Programme where You’ll Definitely! Make Your Fortune! In return for little-or-NO-work! … Sorry! – No such luck – You need to do Your OWN due diligence if You are interested in securing Your financial future using MLM. (Ask Mr Google) But it WILL be worth it if You work consistently, ethically and morally. Good Luck – And You might like to check out My ‘Merch Shop‘ if you liked this Post – And Please ‘Share’ and ‘comment’ before You GO! 🙂

I Remember when credit cards were ‘News’
No Mention Then How They Could Abuse.
They were ‘Manna-From-Heaven’
Or So it seemed.
We could now fulfil ALL of Our Dreams.

Not enough money to buy ‘That Thing’?
It’s Okay, My card makes the till’s ring!

The week has eight days the Beatles said.
They were RIGHT! Now Tell Our Money-Bed.
We need some food but it’s raining today,
But it’s Okay, We’ll buy a Take-Away.

Not enough money to buy ‘That Thing’?
It’s Okay, My card makes the till’s ring!

Friday’s arrived, We need to go Out.
Did You see that New Restaurant
last night on the telly?
We could go there to EAT!
And Fill Our Belly

Not enough money to buy ‘That Thing’?
It’s Okay, My card makes the till’s ring!

These Days of Screen-Views 24-7
Gives all ‘Ad-Drivers’ a slice of Heaven!
Social Hypnosis – NLP and Subliminal
Guide us to spend like a Speeding Criminal.

No Consequences, Money on tap.
We walked right INTO! – ‘The Money-Trap!’
Where Food and More! Food! Presented as common,
Keeps the FAT! Piling on – Our Health? – Detrimental,
We are trying to keep up with everything social!

Not enough money to buy ‘That Thing’?
It’s Okay, My card makes the till’s ring!

Soon twenty stone Beasties seems normal to see.
Re-enforced Toilet seats in our lavatory.
Wider seats on Airplanes DEMANDED,
Wider doors, Bigger Coffins,
BIG BEASTIE HAS LANDED!

Not enough money to buy ‘That Thing’?
It’s Okay, My card makes the till’s ring!
It’ll even pay for My own Demise,
and the Funeral Costs? – No Surprise! ….

—————————————

The Great British Bake-Off has enjoyed ‘massive success’ both here in the UK and apparently Worldwide too thanks mainly to the internet.
That being said, you would think that society would see through the veil of ‘Subliminal Marketing’ and ‘NLP’ to realise that it’s just another ploy to get us to ‘keep on eating’ and get more and more obese as we do.

It’s simply NO coincidence that the HUGE rise in Obesity and the equally spiraling production of ‘foodie’ shows on our TV screens run side-by-side. We can’t turn on the telly at ‘any’ time of the day now without being pummeled with show-after-show about FOOD. That’s without the constant advertising literally ‘shoving food down our throats’ during almost ‘every’ commercial break.

WHY is the food industry being allowed to get away with this constant ATTACK on our senses? Destroying our ‘health’ and often our ‘quality of life’ in exchange for the ‘gratification’ of FOOD?

Think about it; Fat people develop health issues and illnesses far easier, like diabetes, heart disease, painful joints, etc, etc.

NOW! ….. Who benefits financially from people with poor health? … YES! …. The Pharmaceutical Industry of course, the MOST powerful lobbyists on the ‘World Political Stage’ with a handle on astronomical Funds and above all POWER!

So, do you think the media/press/television/film industry are at all influenced when the pharmaceutical Industry says JUMP!? …. Of course they are, and they all SHOUT! …. “How High?”

I’m choosing ‘The Great British Bake-Off’ as my example in this blog post because it has a tremendous ‘CULT’ following and ‘that’ is the danger here.

Many followers of The Great British Bake-Off will defend it to the end. They ‘will not’ have a word said against it, let alone believe it could be partly guilty of creating their ‘Obese’ lifestyle.

There might well be a Social-Media attack on this article, not because it’s WRONG! But because it goes ‘against’ the teachings of the ‘Cult’, which we all know can use ‘Neuro-Linguistic-Programming’ and ‘Subliminal Messaging’ extremely efficiently. Those who fall under the spell will not realise that they have been in effect ‘hypnotised’ and will see any objection to this cult as an attack on them ‘personally’.

Now this Blog is called ‘The Factoid Finder’ for a reason. YOU should be endowed with ‘Common-Sense’, most people still retain a smidgen of it even though Social Media has done it’s best to clean it out of your mind/brain/soul.

If you DO still have it, and it’s fully active, please feel free to ‘share’ this post with your family, friends and associates to try and help them to Wake-Up to the damaged society we’re ALL being lured into by the TV and the Entertainment Industry in general, all for the ‘profits’ of the Pharmaceutical Industry.

‘The Dawning Of The Third Age of Mankind’

Are we traveling down ‘The Vortex’ of Time itself?

(First Published In 2006 – What NOW! ?

In 1970, Alvin Toffler’s book “Future Shock” predicted a world in which technology evolved so quickly that society was stunned, unable to adjust, succumbing to “shattering stress and disorientation”.
A decade later, John Naisbitt took a less cataclysmic look, and focused on the next decade, with “Megatrends – Ten New Directions Transforming Our Lives”; he updated that in 1990 with “Megatrends 2000”.

Toffler proved to be both right and wrong. “Future Shock” did attack
millions of people, but primarily those in the newly freed nations of the former Soviet Bloc, especially Russia itself. Hundreds of immigrants pouring out of those nations to the United States in the 1990s apparently returned back home, complaining about “too much choice”.

Even a worldly (British author) and ‘high tech consultant’ who spent the 1990’s living and working in Southern California and Washington, DC, will soon publish a book about his own American experience. One that includes a chapter on how even ‘Western Europeans’ can be
overwhelmed by ‘American-style’ consumerism.

The working title? “A Cornucopia of Confusing Consumer Choices: Forty-Five Types of Shredded Wheat?”

What Toffler failed to foresee, was the ease with which Americans,
Canadians and, within the dominion of their own societies, the rest of the “developed” world would not only accept, but often demand faster implementation of ‘new technologies’.

Generations raised on Star Trek and Star Wars did not merely ‘anticipate’ desktop computers, instant global inform-ation access, hand-held ‘global communi-cators’ and robots, they built them.

Some of Naisbitt’s predictions, such as a rise in home-based ‘networking’, were amazingly on target. Especially consider-
ing he never used the words ‘Internet’, ‘e-mail’, ‘global positioning system’ (GPS) – none of which as ‘yet’ existed – nor ‘terrorism’, arguably four of the most important factors driving late 20th and
early 21st Century society.

Perhaps the most astounding – (and controversial) – look at our
technology-based future came in 2001, when Ray Kurzweil, one of the world’s most honoured inventors, authors and futurists, published his ‘Law of Accelerating Returns’.

”An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is ‘exponential’, contrary to the common-sense ‘intuitive linear’ view. So we won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st Century – it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today’s rate).

The ‘returns’, such as ‘chip speed’ and ‘cost-effectiveness’, also increase exponentially. There’s even ‘exponential growth’ in the rate of ‘exponential growth’.

Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human
intelligence, leading to ‘The Abnormal’- ‘technological change’ so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history. The implications include the merger of ‘biological’ and ‘non-biological’ intelligence. Immortal ‘software-based’ humans, and ultra-high levels of ‘intelligence’ that expands outward into the Universe at the speed of light”.

And that is only the opening paragraph!

Kurzweil’s ‘law’ helps explain what Toffler feared and Naisbitt sought to analyze. As to whether Kurzweil is qualified to make such bold
statements, consider his remarkable biography at; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil . Or simply Microsoft chairman Bill Gates’ 2005 description of him as “the best at predicting the future of artificial intelligence”.

Given ‘Kurzweil’s Law’, Naisbitt’s ‘Megatrends’ and Toffler’s ‘Future
Shock’ are already being dwarfed by the speed of technological advance. Any new version of either book would have to be electronically published to avoid being comically out-of-date before ever reaching a bookstore.

Consider a few examples of where we are headed in the next 20 years or so:

Military doctors are already looking to field, (within a decade), an early version of Star-Trek’s medical ‘tricorder’. – Not hoping, or expecting, but planning.

The US Army’s ‘Future Warrior’, the com-bat infantry ensemble (circa 2020), has been called everything from a; ‘futuristic medieval knight’s suit of armour’ to a ‘Star Wars’ Imperial Trooper’.

But ‘Future Warrior’ is an evolutionary process, with the first elements now on their way to US troops in Southwest Asia. For whom small robots that perform dangerous tasks, such as checking for explosives at roadblocks, are already considered ‘honoured’ and ‘invaluable’ team mates.

Hydrogen fuel cells the size of soda cans have been powering TV field
cameras for the past two years; people all over the globe can flip open
their own ‘communicators’ and not only talk to anyone, anywhere. But take and send photos and movies, listen to music, download information, send and receive text messages, and obtain precise GPS locations. – Even Mr. Spock would be likely to raise an eyebrow and mutter, “Fascinating”.

Kurzweil’s Singularity foresees a time – perhaps within the next two
decades – when it will be possible to download a human being’s
‘memories’ and ‘personality’ into a computer. Add an advanced and
highly realistic ‘avatar’ based on that individual’s actual appearance, (at any age), and an equally accurate voice synthesizer, and it will be
possible to have a real-time, original conversation with a dead relative, or teacher. Imagine Einstein or Mozart or da Vinci preserved for all time?

The religious implications, of course, are obvious, as are the legal and
societal: Will AI Grandpa still own his house? Will flesh-and-blood Grandma be able to remarry? Is erasing an AI personality disk murder? And for writers and publishers, if copyrights continue for 70 years after the author’s death, is an AI author dead – or immortal?

Nanotechnology – (microscopic machines) – and ‘microbiology’ are
expected to combine to enable the repair of almost anything that goes wrong with any part of the Human body. No chemotherapy, no contact lenses, no open heart surgery, just an injection of thousands of tiny robotic surgeons programmed to deal with the problem.

(Don’t laugh, it’s almost here).

Experiments have already been performed to enable two people to share sensory perceptions. In others, robotic limbs have been activated by subjects thinking about moving their own arms or legs.

Such bio-electronic advances are expected to enable quadriplegics to
walk away from their wheelchairs, (possibly within a generation).

Consider: – In 1906 we had just witnessed the first flight of a ‘heavier-than-air’ manned aircraft. A flight that lasted less than the wingspan of a Boeing 747. Six decades later, we were walking on the Moon. In 1906, few people had access to a very cumbersome, expensive and unreliable telephone system, and radio was still an experiment. Today, you can watch television on your cellphone.

– In 1906, the average life expectancy in the US was 46.9 for men, 50.8 for women. Today, it is 74.5 for men and 79.9 for women, according to US government tables. But many ‘futurists’ say for those of us now living, the trick will simply be to live long enough . . ‘to live forever’ – which they believe the merger of ‘biology’ and ‘technology’ will make possible, (in one form or another), within a generation.

“Future Shock” and “Megatrends” were products of the late 20th Century, when Kurzweil’s ‘Law of Accelerating Returns’ was just beginning to reach the Tipping Point – (that dramatic moment when something unique becomes common).

In contrast, the 21st Century will require entirely new legal, sociological, philosophical, religious, political, moral and personal concepts.

Perhaps it is – 250 years earlier than claimed by the 1990’s TV show “Babylon 5” – Truly …….‘The Dawn Of The Third Age of Mankind’.
