Along with many nations, I think we are in a crisis mode and have been for the last 5 years, although this has been planned for longer than most of us have been alive.
The situation that we are in feels like players passing the parcel, stopping at some nation, then either going into war or being attacked, and I believe this round started with 911, with many thinking that the accused perpetrators were not the ones that committed the atrocities.
Every war leaves a scar, but not all battles are fought with weapons. At the moment, we hear of wars raging, distracting us from a quieter, subtler war that is being waged—a war against the very fabric of our society. The Silent War and its battlefield lie within our borders. It doesn’t involve tanks or soldiers but policies, decisions, and systemic planned failures directly impacting citizens.
First, they, whoever they are? Create a problem and evoke a strong reaction; a solution is often predetermined and presented as the only answer. Do you remember anything recently?
Some examples immediately emerge when you strip out the emotion and look at the reality, and the same scenarios emerge: P.R.S. Problem. Reaction. Solustion.
Small businesses.
When Mr BJ, the PM, suggested we all close our businesses and go home, I knew he was playing a terrible joke on us because you could go and get a job in Tescos if you wanted; it didn’t make any sense for the first 24 hours, and it went downhill after that.
Health.
Whose Advice Can We Trust?
As soon as I mentioned and challenged why Willy Gates, a computer geek, was the centre of the world’s health system, it raised questions about the conflicting advice and guidance given to the public. Have health priorities shifted away from the well-being of individuals, or are we simply casualties of bureaucracy and mismanagement?
The Passport Problem.
The UK seems like a nation without borders.
We can’t enter our own country without proper documentation. So why would others enter on a rubber dingy and be welcome if they came from France? Surly, we shouldn’t have a conflict with Russia before we have sorted Fronce out as there is a vast conflict with them regarding the UK residence. Is this a deliberate erosion of national identity, or is it a sign of administrative leniency?
The education system.
Are schools and universities still equipped to nurture and prepare future generations? Or is there a growing gap between the needs of students and the reality of educational policies?
Energy and Infrastructure
Cracks in the Foundation of energy, shortages, infrastructure decay, and the increasing challenges in maintaining critical services. Is this neglect or part of a broader strategy?
Surveillance
Freedom at a Cost increased surveillance on the majority initiated for the few. Is this necessary for national security and growth, or is it an encroachment on personal freedoms under the guise of security?
That’s just a fraction that most don’t want to open their eyes to. We all want harmony, not another holocaust, but closing our eyes and hoping it’s never going to happen is not the answer.
My conclusion.
If you tie all these elements together, you will reveal the larger picture. These issues are not isolated events but interconnected struggles that affect the everyday lives of citizens.
All the people responsible for the above need a check-up from the neck up to get rid of their stinking thinking of the me-first attitude and take action for awareness, engagement, and advocacy against the silent war.
