Ari’s Cure for Chaos

 

 

“Here, Ari, go and play with your X-Box instead of pestering me about stuff you can’t understand.”

 

But Ari wasn’t interested in his X-Box, or any of the medium to hi-tec toys his parents had bought him. The nature of reality was his bag, and he wouldn’t let it go.

 

The small Greek island on which he lived was a hive of activity in summer, and save for a few large towns, it virtually closed down in winter.

 

A bright lad, he had a very low threshold of boredom, and soon tired of the conventional distractions his parents provided in an attempt to keep him amused. Fortunately for Ari, Greek schools had not yet succumbed to labelling kids who learned differently with ‘disorders’ dreamed up by drugs companies and thereby creating life-long addictions for their products.

 

Ari, despite his age [3], had found out how to use the internet. His imaginary friend, Davos had taught him. His mum and dad, Maria and Ioanni would have no need for concern about his straying into porn or violence sites, as he had devised a SPAM filter that even stopped SPAM raids from the makers of SPAM filters themselves. The stuff that distracted millions and hooked them into a level of functioning barely above the amoeba held no interest for him.

 

Ioanni teased him about Davos. Despite the fact that all kids go through an ‘imaginary friend’ phase it secretly made him feel uncomfortable. At times, Davos seemed more real to Ari’s dad than anything he read in the newspapers of watched on TV. So his solution was to poke fun. The problem for Ioanni was that the more he tried to rubbish Davos, the more credible he came to Maria and the rest of the community of Karolvasi.

 

Events had conspired to create a situation in which Davos had become more famous than the island’s governor. And increasing numbers were asking for an audience with him, convinced of his existence and amazing powers.

 

But Davos was in control. In an earlier era, he had like most kids’ imaginary friends been dismissed as a temporary indulgence. But when his words and actions became a challenge to established ways of thinking, the more Davos became a threat. It was only when he linked up with Ari did his fortunes change.

 

Naturally Davos, being a virtual creation, never saw it that way. With hindsight, that’s how it was. His earlier concerns had been with Phedra [who lived in another part of Greece] and her family. She had been ridiculed by neighbours as her father had been convinced Davos was more than something in Phedra’s mind…

The European Union had recently held a referendum to extend its powers. Given the failure of such moves in the past, a new ruse had been sought. Create the most in- [almost non] credible idea, sell it to the population and then push through the bureaucratic stuff behind it.

 

It had worked so well before it was amazing no-one thought about it in the context of destroying freedoms by stealth. Draconian laws which followed the aftermath of ‘False Flag’ operations [like Pearl Harbour & 9/11] were easy peasy.

 

The idea was to convince people the earth was the centre of the universe, and by default the EU at the centre of the earth. It was relatively simple to cobble up some ley lines which intersected at Brussels, but a little more challenging to persuade them the sun rotated around the earth [geocentrism].

 

The strategy was this. Set up a number mind-controlled ‘patsies’ to commit hideous acts against innocent people. At the same time, feed ‘serious academics’ to the media to argue the case for geocentrism. Make Copernicus [who ‘discovered’ the earth revolved around the sun in the 16th century] into a figure of hate by branding him as a paedophile.

 

Get a number of celebrities to endorse the idea of geocentrism and rubbish heliocentrism [the earth revolves around the sun] and tell everyone the patsies were members of the sinister heliocentric cult.

 

It worked like a charm.

 

Effigies of Copernicus were burned in Poland [his native country]. Anyone found with the same name was ‘removed for their own safety.’

 

Geocentrism was the height of fashion. Heliocentrics gradually became a persecuted minority, and the strategists had to consider passing laws making heliocentric attacks and abuse a hate crime.

 

Prince Charles was one of the last to declare heliocentrism was like an old shoe, but no longer true or relevant in today’s world. The Spice Girls had written for them and mimed the song ‘The Sun is our [S-S-Sex]-Slave’.

 

Amidst the total confusion and chaos, laws making vaccination compulsory, EU logos to be tattooed on every male forehead and pre-frontal lobotomies for ‘incorrigible heliocentrics’ were rushed through in every EU country. Those who opposed the laws were sent for ‘correction.’

 

In the meantime, Davos and Ari were quietly watching the madness unfold.

Ari had a plan. Having conferred with Davos, they decided to play the strategists at their own game.

 

“You Davos raised awareness of this coming insanity over 20 years ago. And it has sparked a series of movements of thinking people all around the world. Maybe this is the wake-up call we have needed!”

 

“Thank you Ari.”

 

“But why has it come to this? Surely God could have intervened earlier?”

 

“Who says he hasn’t” smiled Davos.

 

Their plan was to offer a new hero, as Copernicus was a busted flush. The new hero was to be a child, but one of proven high awareness to counter the inevitable propaganda about ‘devil children’ and to block any nonsense about needing a Ritalin boost.

 

All the beings and truths the ‘material’ world had rubbished over centuries would align themselves behind the new hero. Fairies, wood nymphs, animals, plants and trees would demonstrate their sentience. Those ‘in spirit’ would reveal themselves psychically to their loved ones without the need for mediums. Mediums would help those who previously regarded them with suspicion.

 

Kids who had seen ghosts would be able to announce the fact without being called ‘poof’ or ‘queer.’

 

And coincidence theorists would get the kind of press previously reserved for conspiracy theorists.

 

“I reckon God will back us if we get off our backsides and stop playing dead. The planet is heading for self-destruct, and no number of designer jeans, killer heels, energy drinks and magic pills will cut it this time.

 

It would be priceless if we could prove, once and for all that those who push back the boundaries of ignorance are credible in their own lifetimes.”

 

“And you should know Ari,” said Davos.

 

“What would people do if they knew they could change their weather by their thoughts? That free energy was possible now. That the bigger the government lie the less chance it has of being found out. That we are multi-sensory, and our true nature is one of love not fear. The reality is they do know-it is just being blocked.”

 

Davos de-materialised and re-appeared on prime time television in the USA. He had created a documentary in which all of history’s geniuses were being interviewed. And they were telling their own stories. Prominent people who had been assassinated were in the studio audience, sat next to their killers.

 

Plotters and agent provocateurs confessed all. False flag operations were revealed, going back hundreds of years. The tools of manipulation were laid bare.

 

The host was three-year old Aristarchos. Aristarchos was born and lived in the third century BC. He had discovered that the earth did indeed revolve around the sun, contrary to popular belief at the time.

 

Eighteen hundred years later, Copernicus put forward the same truth.

 

Back on the holiday island of Samos, Ioanni and Maria smiled as little Ari talked to his imaginary friend…
