AUTHORS NOTE:
I wrote this while I was in Walnut Creek, on a 1.5 year project, where I was helping Real Estate Agents & Automotive Dealerships, automate their marketing, improve leads, and increase their annual revenues. I was also consulting on top of the W2 position, for the same company, in Sales Management & Reporting Automation. I admired the CEO of the company that I worked for, as well as my mentor, Andre, who I adore. He is a talented and wonderful human.
There were some "problems" that began appearing in Walnut Creek, that were coming from a specific subset of individuals. The people, were committing a cluster of crimes, and had the same mentality that is highly abnormal and damaging. They surprised me. I was also surprised, that others, just allowed it to happen; especially when it was so wrong.
I continued studying why people do what they do, and began researching this rare subset that were presenting themselves. Over time, I've discovered that they are a fringe group and in the minority, even if they're global. Their behaviors are in alignment with anti-social features. Their thought processes are collections of clinical "Thinking Errors". Their commitment to what they believe in, meets the legal definitions of "cult". They did not state the organization they belong with.
Over time, members have said they are an NGO involved in trafficking. They believe, that certain people, can be bought, and that certain people, are for sale. They also believe, in their "doctrine", and in "holistic" wellness, which includes yoga, and health supplements. (Note to all: I personally have never used the word "holistic". I did find some fake profiles of me, using that word. I sent documents from The Secretary of State, requesting the fraud be taken down.)
For me, personally, I was most shaken, by the way they spoke about women. I have never heard anyone, speak to others in that way, nor divulge to others, about occurrences of that nature. Neither say those things about women; before in my entire life. I was shaken, that they lacked the emotional center in their brain, which we all feel in our hearts, and that they failed to think or feel, that anything they were talking about, was wrong.
They also lacked the social awareness, that what they were saying was wrong and inappropriate.
A person who might be hypo or hyper relative to social cues, might be ADD/ADHD (which is a gift, by the way; genetic ADHD are brilliant IQ 130+, gifted individuals).
A person who fails to grasp social cues, but does "get it", when you explain it to them in the way that they process and understand new information, they might be Asperger or ASD.
A person who fails to grasp social cues, and still doesn't "get-it" when it's explained; or by the push-back or reactions they're getting; those people, chunking-up, may be on the Anti-Social spectrum.
It's also possible, that those types of people, were raised in an environment, and/or still belong to one, where propaganda, rhetoric, and belief systems, as described on The Power Wheel (i.e. systems of manipulation, power, control, abuse), have been normalized.
Normalization includes groups that are on the Federal Bureau of Investigation & Department of Homeland Security's Terrorist Watch List, whether they are International or Domestic. It includes various Jihad groups, like ISIS. Christian Fundamentalist extremism, like GAIA's Pagan NASA cult (non-state actors). It includes White Supremacy groups, and their subsets, like ALT-RIGHT, Pick-Up-Artists, Counter-Culture; and organizations like NXIVM + its offshoots. They also include groups such as Silk Road, Anonymous, NULL, Kiwi Farms, Solar Winds, and other Threat Actors.
The world, and people in general, operate on The Golden Rule, and the majority of people and religions, believe in eusocial values, and are globally accepted. Most people, are good.
It is fringe groups, non-state actors, etc., that are in the minority, and that constitute terror, abuse, violence, and violence against women.
The organization I was with, I admired the CEO, Payam Zamani, and I loved my boss and mentor, Andre Crisp. There were a handful of people, that came from outside the organization, then quickly left, who were preaching their propaganda, and speaking about violence against women; coming from both males, and females.
I was dumbfounded, hearing it. In shock, my jaw dropped, and I could not understand how they could, nor why they would, utter such things, nor utter them publicly, in the open. It seemed as though they had no awareness, of what they were actually saying, nor the implications of it. When you speak, you paint a picture. The picture they were painting, was of humans operating as robots, doing what they were paid to do, on a computer, so that they could go home and drink, and buy more drugs. And that women, were to be hunted, bought, and sold.
Regarding the fringe group I observed;
This poem is their beliefs. I disagree with them.
I believe in honest, ethical, law abiding corporations, that do good.
I believe in business and industry, that is prosocial & complimentary.
I am against all forms of manipulation, abuse, dishonesty, fear & terror.
I also only like real, healthy, people. This means, people who are born with empathy centers in their brain, and have spent their lives, honoring and cultivating it. Normal people, that fit into normal ranges, or gifted ranges.
All dysfunction, disorders, and abuse, are contained within systems. Healthy people & environments, they pretty much don't exist; not as in not-at-all; but the prevalence is either reduced or handled.
NOTE: These are the beliefs of the fringe group; I disagree with them.
UNTHINKING AND UNBEING
by Nicole Wright, 2005
The unintelligent meandering
Libretto, that is eaten up by the
Unconscious seeking, for blissful, brainless
Moments of unthinking and unbeing.
The same crippling effect of the thumb and
Finger match, that chains, Unrelenting and
Powerful, traveling through a thin, black
Cord that is plugged into a small, black box.
The altering effect of print pictures,
Gazed on enviously, bringing out the
Creation of desire; the will to
Throw away all but the emptiness of
Water, sucked down for dear life, as dear life
Is slowly, wistfully, slipping away.
The endless fascination with beauty,
Butts, breasts; long blonde hair and gay appeasing
Laugh that makes you sick, but is nonetheless
A sign that this being is not real and
Can be stripped and broken in pursuit of
Fulfilling temporary indulgence.
Ink sprinkling nonsense across expansive
White lined with blue; Rote language streaming the
Minimal and same to be passed along
To one more who stares at their gray confines
With the flickering plasma screen, plastic,
Lifeless connect; not breathing, not seeing,
Only waiting for hand to reach its mark;
Believing this should be the way it is.
Carbon dioxide emissions ignored
While thirsty cisterns beg for more, and heat
Incessantly rises; what was fifteen
Now forty-five, while suited fat men laugh,
Counting their pennies that don't trickle down;
Watching stocks soar, donating to Powers
Who murder Panthers, Afghans, Iraqis;
Who withdrew the right to bear arms and took
Constitution from instruction; pleased by
Growing ignorance as rich privatize
And will continue voting in favor,
Because the rest, in happy daze, do not.
Call it: Land of the Free, Home of the Brave:
Eyes demand faith over intuition;
Happiness is bought, but never paid for;
Where fear is more motivating than love,
Breath rising and falling according to
Invisible strings lifting up, down, up;
Behaving exactly as instructed,
Thinking exactly as so requested;
Dreaming of another day, and dollar;
A white picket fence and a bank account
To be envied, while our credit card costs
Just a little more each passing month and
We haven't been taught to care, so we don't.
