Totally agree Kim. These are certainly creepy times. We're left looking, waiting to see what they'll do next. Not the best for the spirit - but that's where we are.

Thanks Kim for asking questions and lining these items. I agree there is something very troubling going on. It is very unsettling. Greatly appreciated the way you laid this out!

Thank Joe. It did give me a creepy feeling as each of these stories popped up on twitter over the course of a few days.

No problem! They are quite similar, and were written just a year apart.

I think you've nailed it, Kim. There do seem to be coordinated moves at high levels to rein in the population, and I don't think one needs to see this as centuries-old Illuminati planning, either (though who knows, that's not impossible). More simply we can understand what's going on as the imperial mindset that's driven modernity, now accelerating to the logical conclusions - and maybe prompted to accelerate by various factors, like a sense of collapse and unravelling (sea changes). Toss in the drive towards AI ...

Coincidentally, after I read your essay I watched this from Neil Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIpLwiaQRRk

Nicely done as ever, Kim. Contrast these insane policies with our so-called enemies in Russia, who offer families free land and dachas (country homes) so long as they cultivate them. Russia now provides 40% of its food production from these dachas! Whereas in Canada we are not even in the single digits for same. Maybe it's time to think about emigrating? https://thebovine.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/in-1999-35-million-small-family-plots-produced-90-of-russias-potatoes-77-of-vegetables-87-of-fruits-59-of-meat-49-of-milk-way-to-go-people/

Wow! I didn't know that about Russia and the free land land and dachas - or that they are producing 40% of Russia's food. Great model!

Indeed we need to see the signs & links accumulating here. Portent for catastrophic, apocalyptic times ahead. Stupid, short-sighted acts by our government or actually plotted out as one-step-at-a-time agenda so evil we hesitate to imagine links or plans? Thanks for your intelligent attention here, Kim. I’m scared.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for writing a good synopsis/commentary on the "news" this week....I agree with you 100%.

I appreciate your efforts. We need lots of people like you to do this kind of thing.

I've been occasionally sending important emails (like yours is) to people in "our senate" and as I am in Ontario, to our "government employees". I know most are not interested, most of my forwards go unread, but I always think that with clear intent, with the right energy behind the action, that eventually those with heart and brain connected may listen and respond in a real/authentic way and begin the push back we so need at this time.

love and light,

Carol Martin

Yes, I am troubled. These things are in plain sight! No conspiracy needed.

Your opening quote is not Stephen Stills....It is from Bob Dylan's song, Ballad of a Thin Man.

Dylan's line in Ballad of a Thin Man (1965), repeated in every refrain is:

"And you know something's happening but you don't know what it is. Do you, Mister Jones."

https://www.bobdylan.com/songs/ballad-thin-man/

Stephen Stills' line in For What It's Worth (1966) and performed/recorded by Buffalo Springfield is:

"There's something happening here,

What it is ain't exactly clear."

https://genius.com/Buffalo-springfield-for-what-its-worth-lyrics

"Although "For What It's Worth" is often considered an anti-war song, Stephen Stills was inspired to write the song because of the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles in November 1966—a series of early counterculture-era clashes that took place between police and young people on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California, beginning in mid-1966, the same year Buffalo Springfield had become the house band at the Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip." -Wikipedia
