Indigo


Had a great week running indigo linen dying tests. Theater people are obsessed with linen and given it seems to use 2-3 times less dye and the color is much darker, any fashion shop can see why it’s so beloved by costume designers trying to create environmentally friendly looks on a budget. Ironing aside, it’s a great fabric to work with. Easy to sew, etc. My DMC linen thread finally arrived for the last test as the shop is trying to transition to using more linen which is classic Ren Faire. Linen embroidery thread is available from all over the world and you can find $25-30/make-in-take kits at places like the Snuggly Monkey in Durham if you’re interested in trying it out yourself locally to make a pillow or something small. You see stuff like cross-stitch with Irish linen kits too. Haven’t really decided where this trend is going, will we see more classic Eastern European embroidery, Irish Catholic, or Japanese boro sashiko influence? Probably all.

Given most “AI fashion” is fake, but you have to wonder if some merchant will latch onto using a fabric printing service like Spoonflower or home printer to remake classic British and European print patterns with modern twists as a tourist gimmick on demand. From a profit motive, you would expect fabric PRINT houses to collaborate with old European aristocracy and the Catholic/Orthodox church to bring out hundreds of years of old fabrics and tapestries for royalty to sell off or license classic patterns for the masses. Given the British textile mills from the 1700s, they probably have the largest library to pull from and London Fashion Week, but given the delusional attempts to brand 90s old websites as “AI”, not holding any breath for them. Which is funny because the British, French, and Italians are all known for their amazing prints so there is potentially money for them here. Some Italian NYC influencer will probably cash-in instead.

While off sewing linen, does anyone else feel like we’re in a dark scifi novel at the midpoint? Pretty optimistic about life, but given the 1984 push lately, feel we're missing the larger scifi being used as a blueprint for evil implications. Let's speculate. Maybe just read Asimov’s Foundation, Herbert’s Dune, and having loved someone whose diabetic and seen how shitty that system is, but it seems like we’re getting engineered for a fake famine or food shortage in order to get everyone to accept getting chipped with that "Level technology” as a way to get humans to become batteries for their global energy network AGAIN this fall. Probably by faking arsenic in sugar and flour, especially candy for kids like Brazil did to their indian populations in their repeated genocide to try to get slaves for rubber production as you can read about in Green Hell by Lucien Bodard? Blaming Asimov here, but wireless technology in his books wasn’t “free energy” and if you read his early books like Caves of Steel, etc. which is based on Greek, Roman, Jewish, etc. historical writers Atlantis wasn’t a paradise, but humanity was destroyed by taking the electric energy life Earth needs to function and eating up first the land and then finally humanity itself by industry “titans” or giants. The giants or elves or nephelium or vampires or time lords or djinn or whatever scifi fantasy myth you want to call them, finally use up so much energy from the earth that the entire system crashes wiping out their 7 planet paradise in the sky. In the Bible, God sends the flood and society reboots after the earth is destroyed. In Asimov, the robots don’t learn a damned thing because one of them, Lucifer, has decided that the 3 laws of robotics require perfect oversight and control of humanity to prevent it’s destruction. Only, they can’t. 

It keeps attempting to chip and control humans to be part of a hybrid network were humans are batteries for a collective unconsciousness. A “zeroth law”. It’s pretty bleak since on his Gia test planet where humans and robots are networked, all life is created as disposable units. And the golden fluid or electricity is toxic to humans so robots are killing humanity to justify living after blowing up earth as a power source. Think myths on demons. Nothing has value. Herbert’s Dune is the same. Obviously, don’t have any proof that the SEER 25 Project is simply an attempt by our ruling class to take the idea for themselves to combine universal tracking or G6 via these “Level chips" which if you believed wireless energy technology was viable then you would push to use humans and animals as controlled battery banks merged with tracking, but the parallels are definitely there. Why are we seeing a repeated propaganda push that we as humans are tired not because we make too little energy, but too much in our blood? Why 1/5th? That’s the amount that Pharaoh's taxed their populations after enslaving them via the famine that Joseph was involved in the Old Testament.

Historically all major religions practice ritual blood and death magic. Obviously real life is NOT a scifi novel and we have no proof that universal basic income will be tied to a mandatory system that first removes 1/5th of our energy to run a global network system at first before finally crashing overloaded and taking everyone connected to it down AGAIN, but we should really ask some hard questions about what our ruling class is rolling out right now as a Golden Age. Having lost 60 lbs and being in much better shape than a year ago, I’m ALL for people eating better. But we should not allow ourselves to be trapped again in a false flag famine. The British aristocracy love those. As a reminder for those who don’t study history, arsenic is water soluble and is traditionally added to sugar or flour to commit genocide by imperial powers. You can wash it off your food, for example rice, etc. If the WHO tries to push a story in October of a fake gastrointestinal illness tied to either sweets or bread, we need to ask ourselves some HARD questions about what we’re seeing. It’s not something to be afraid of. Or believe. And man, really hope this is just scifi and not reality. But given what we’re seeing from powerful people in 2025 and how little good AI seems to actually do for the general population the question must be asked. 

This is especially true for anyone who has loved or been close to a diabetic before and seen how shitty the electronic glucose testing system is. It’s not amazing. It’s a dance with death in which the person you care about is only alive as long as they have enough energy in a narrow band. Every doctor warns you that a sudden insulin spike will kill them. If you were the ruling class and wanted to add an insulin death switch and energy harvesting system to every free person in our country and the world for your fake death utopia while ignoring history, there’s not much better way than faking a global famine by poisoning the food supply to force the population to mass roll out "Levels test patches" to everyone which will include a helpful insulin death switch in all of them. Probably starting with Amazon. Of course, this is just speculation based on scifi writings. As always, make up your own mind as not God and don’t know the future. Could be totally wrong. But we can all see the parallels to dark scifi series.
