So now body movement profiles are suspect. I wonder what walking down the street while smiling would be considered. Be careful the tune you whistle.

WHEN IN PUBLIC NEVER LOOK ASKANCE AT ANYBODY!

Only an idle glance will do.

Thank you - for that poem, Waiting for the Barbarians. 1975? It's perfect today.

"What's your guess:

GMO foods

Mosquitoes

mRNA shots for livestock

Vaccinated fruit and veg

Bio-digital identity

Cloudy skies, aka geo-engineering

Censorship to stop you discussing the above? "

All of the above & more. Mineral asset striping (blackrock like this).

"... if lives are in danger..." I suppose that will be the case as soon as 'they' lock and load.

No sense of irony in their arsenal it would appear. I downloaded & bookmarked the gem in question a few days ago as my eyes began to do counterrotations from one another as soon as I got beyond the first several paras.

"Objects in mirror are. . . "

Dystopia: to think I'd only read about it for all of these decades. Now it has already crossed the threshhold and is living right here where my fingertips tap out their now never ending distress signal. For real. We have arrived.

"Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear" - so true.

We have read warnings of the approaching hellscape since our childhood, first in science fiction, which we took for cute portrayals of the improbable; then as dystopian fiction in which the heroic youth defy the overseers; finally with the grim realisation that the stakeholders owned the publishing and cinema houses that drip-dripped the message and that they now stand over us holding a stake.

We need to go back to when gothic horror was redefined in 1921 by Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We" in response to the Bolshevik putsch - itself a social experiment by those self-same stakeholders.
