Post-trauma Docility Syndrome in Africa.

Many people have raised eyebrows on the possible relationship between 5G, public health and coronavirus. I won't enter that debate but wish to take us even further into the future, the post coronavirus era. Besides the possible health hazards, there is an unsuspecting objective to coronavirus we are all oblivious of. Africa has been used as a case study but the reality is applicable worldwide. Read to the end.
In a climate of unceasing calamities, the weight of one tragedy is only lightened by the fear and precautions to avoid another.
Things happen so fast and so often that we don't even have time to reflect on the weight and impact they have on us. The continuous bombardment, event after event, shock after shock with no time to absorb and assimilate them, fogs our brains. The frequency of tragedy and atrocity inhibit us from questioning their reoccurrence and on the contrary, conditions us to wait for the next, we are instead suspicious if nothing tragic is happening. We reach a point where the abnormal is gradually becoming normal and we are neither surprised nor scandalised by atrocities. We are so numbed by stress that we lose the capacity to react. We stop reacting, we stop fighting against all that torments us, we just sit, watch and let things be, as people sentenced to death waiting to be guillotined.
Consciously, we have given up fighting, but unconsciously we have given up the right to exist, or at least, we have accepted to exist on another person's terms. In other words, we have given the oppressor the right to do as they please and to annihilate us if they wish. This is what I call post-trauma docility.
Post-trauma docility is a human response based on fear, the fear of repeating a traumatic experience and an attempt to prevent it or anything similar from happening again. The conscious human mind has a limit to the trauma it can endure, after this limit, the subconscious mind takes over to seek survival mechanisms. One of them is docility to the aggressor.  Post-trauma docility strategy works very well with poor and defenceless people. It worked with the slaves when they were captured, auctioned, tortured and subdued. It works with victims of domestic violence and it also works with kidnapped people. It is operational in Africa where people are tortured by systemic poverty, avoidable hunger, orchestrated wars and diseases. Everything is so strategically executed that when everyone feels helpless the executioner appears like the saviour. At this point, the subdued are willing to lick their boots and bless them for giving them the crumbs from their table, even when the food is from the slave's farm. The subdued are just so tired of suffering that they are ready to do, not only whatever they are asked to do but to consider it a favour to themselves. That is exactly what the oppressor wants and where they want the oppressed to be. If you doubt it, ask the English speaking people of The Southern Cameroons, (The Ambazonians), how effective this strategy is.
It wouldn't be any surprise if a similar strategy should come into play for many peoples of the earth after the coronavirus pandemic. The scheme is as simple as follows. The virus starts the process of natural selection and eliminates old people so that expenditures on health care for the elderly and pensions are reduced. From quarantine, we might easily and willingly accept new concentrations camps called "asymptomatic patients' homes" for public health reasons, a new way to "class" people according to "risk groups".  For fear of another virus outbreak, we may become guinea pigs for doubtful vaccines and abusive medical practices and controls. Since banknotes can be easily contaminated and become infectious, they may be withdrawn. So, we won't need to possess money but they will expect that we work in exchange for our needs. A new cashless banking system controlled by some big corporate bodies will take care of our needs. There might also be new norms and control on private ownership, the government might need our property for the common good. Thus, new types of poor people and poverty will arise and thus new forms of slavery. With the help of advanced technology, the more civilised societies will be able to control machines with their minds and drive cars without drivers. We may have robots replacing people at work resulting in mass retrenchment and unemployment. Machines will already know and anticipate our needs just in case we become vegetative. For this to happen, all your personal information will have to be shared with the machine and consequently with the Big Brother who controls all the machines. There will no longer be any bedroom secrets again. From "social distancing", there may arise a need to censor and monitor people's movements, gatherings, contents of their speech and thus reduce their capacity to protest; an invisible eye in every meeting. Geolocalization by phone or who knows, through microchips implanted in our bodies, may become obligatory. In a nutshell, they may require that we surrender our freedom for "our good" and for public health and public security reasons. That is 5G at work. And we will accept it for fear of another pandemic.
So, welcome to The Big Brother World. In this world, there will be no individual secrets because the individual and minority interests or rights will be sacrificed on the altar of the state, " the common good", that is to say, for the good of the richest and most powerful of the earth.
Are you ready for this new world order? You can call it a conspiracy theory, call it wishful thinking if you want, but the Spanish say, "piensa mal y acertarás", in other words, think wrong and wild and you will not be far from the truth. If the "Big Brother World" scares you, then, stay awake, be vigilant and don't allow your mind to be subdued. Cultivate your mental garden. It breeds resilience, strengthens resistance and sows the seeds of freedom, a tomorrow of our own. Stay awake. I'll be back soon.
