Where Will We/Our World Groups Fight Their Battles in the Decade, 2023 to 2031?
Not in the known political, economic, social, and militarized places we see as War Zones now, but on our own streets with the hidden anarchy, racism, and populism of the extremist far left and right. They are right next to us, with a skilled, brilliant, and military science plans of influence and takeover via moving the public to believe their propaganda to distrust governments (see full text clicking THIS BLOG)

You may run into an article or reference to the Pied Piper of Hamelin as it is of interest in our time as these evil characters function in our world. International news, helping us to know our world better, has also contributed to the quantity, the plethora, of vampire characters functioning according to our basic rule:
They are in all places of the world, doing their deeds
They are in all times of history, and in the past, the present, and even the future (even your future)
They offer something, but take more. See the Purpose statement above for a summary of this.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin is
a story, cultural and passed on
a myth and mythology, not in the sense of "fake myths and news", but of myths like myths of major concepts recognized by humans, such as the myths of dragons, the underworld and hell, heaven, God and Gods, Eden, vampires / sirens, the Quest and pilgrimages, and so on. Mythology is a collection of these symbolic, metaphoric, and myth concepts gathered into full ideas, stories, volumes of information, social ideas of, and more. The Pied Piper has small pieces, the myth, symbols, and the character of the evil taker. And, the Pied Piper has a full story of an event, true or else it "feels real enough and important enough to be ""sorta true"" (it is said to "ring true' in our minds, not just your mind and my mind, but all humans worldwide). When every person "gets" this story, it is what Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell called an archetype, a part of the evolving and expanding collective unconscious of mankind.
Interesting
a story and lesson, where telling it benefits adults and children both: Grimm's Tales were often stories of warning of danger hidden in dark forests and seductive, promising evil characters.
Here are a couple of background references on the Pied Piper you may enjoy and find an abundance of information:
From the BBC:
The tale in fact has survived for a very long time. Originating as
medieval folklore, the story inspired a Goethe verse, Der Rattenfänger; a
Grimm Brothers’ legend, The Children of Hamelin; and one of Robert
Browning’s best-known poems, The Pied Piper of Hamelin. And although
each writer tinkered with the story, the basics remained the same: the
Piper was hired by Hamelin to rid the town of its plague of rats.
Trailing after the hypnotic notes of the rat-catcher’s magical flute,
the rodents politely filed through the city gates to their presumed
doom.
They weren’t the only ones lured by his music, though. When
the town refused to pay the Piper for his service, the saviour turned
into a more satanic seducer and came for Hamelin’s children. Entranced
by the notes of his flute, the transfixed boys and girls followed the
Piper out of town and simply vanished.
While the tale has endured,
so has Hamelin itself, which still looks as though it belongs in a
fairy tale. Boyer’s tour leads visitors past rows of half-timbered
houses. There are 16th Century burgher manors encrusted with Gothic
gables and scrollwork, and flamboyant wedding cake buildings offering
prime examples of the local Weser-Renaissance architecture, all leering
gargoyles and brightly coloured polychrome wood carvings.
they offer rescue, but then there is the Second Need, they're gone, out, ghosting...
The first need is the First Need, is the con they offer. They find a true need in the USA, Chile, Africa, or any place and country in the world.
Most times, this first contact with the Pied Piper and the First Need is one that appeals to human greed. That is very hard to swallow. It's hard for me to swallow the concept, that I am vulnerable to that. In all my "downsizing of life", and minor charities, just "How can I be vulnerable, and fall for that one"?
Well, that vulnerable group includes not just me, all my friends, all persons I know, all in my community, city, stated, and country. Yes, these so smart Americans, every person is vulnerable to the appeal of greed, of getting, that it is a universal human concept. Indeed, Carl Jung said all good and bad elements a human being can have, are all, 100% in a person's soul. They are "voices within" or "characters within", (called archetypal psychology, for which part of my Ph.D. studies were dedicated to).
These characters or voices speak up as we allow them too, but we repress good and bad characteristics*.
One person may allow
Social me
fun me
Quiet me
Educated
Skilled
Leader me
Creative
Artistic me
And, one may allow or repress good characteristics:
Sexy me
Spiritual me
And, so on. See my book at Amazon.Com, the Shadow Self Workbook, which is about making these characteristics conscious, and out "of the closet and basement".
Here's that asterisk above: *, Archetypal Psychology says that any repressed form lives in all of us, and that in it's "allowed to live and breath state", is helpful to us, friends, and society. That could include:
Anger
The Warrior or Amazon withing
Rebellion
Lack of Concern
The Masculine self
The Feminine Self
and so on. It's like the 7 Dwarf's are in us, and if we let them do their work, they're AOK, though each may be a bit brash in that pure form. Another analogy is the functions of a Kingly court, like that of King Arthur: there are many persons in many functions, and the end outcome, ideally, is a kingdom where all prosper.
But, if these parts are repressed, they show up in a bad form, called the "shadow form". Each part of our soul, if repressed, can come out like a roaring lion, out of our basement, and take over.
That is one problem of not recognizing this about our soul, all parts are in us, and we all have Greedy, Drunky, and Lazy within, even if we might castigate others for that characteristic, or parents might punish children for. We also express this hidden self when we are bigoted, and marginalized or show bias over others.
This applies to persons, but also as metaphoric or symbolic persons: a community or country can be like one person with these characteristics. There can be good expressed, and there are hidden shadow elements, that are denied.
That is the problem with persons or countries or communities: the shadow element is hidden, and then also denied. Not me. Not my town.
And, it seems that Greedy is especially mischievous, and Always tangled with most every human problem at all times and everywhere. He's just doesn't go away an needs constant attending to by you, your society, and by me and mine! In mythology, Greedy is that bad mischievous imp, and in movies, he or she is that taking vampire. In Television, Greedy is the taking narcissist of any show or crime documentary.
Why is Greedy so Big? He's like a Super Mischief Archetype. Greedy knows how to confuse us with other normal, vital, and society saving ideas and inner Archetypes such as:
adventure and pioneerism
having wealth and possessions
travel
creating
These get messed up with
rampant extractions of minerals and forests
colonialism
religious movements that kill and take over others
Etc.
This could be a full set of books, but to summarize two situations.
A. Good Old America:
1. the repressed and unconscious needs of Americans for 10 years, has been conned by the presidential Pied Piper, using the propaganda of the Populist / Psuedo Religions / Conspiracy movement
2. Americans, falling for the Pied Piper's Con, succumbed to the First Need
3. When the Second Needs came, the Pied Piper had extracted his "gold" from society, and was no where to be found. He's on his golf course today, while Americans are dying left and right from Coronavirus. That is the very nature of the Pied Pipers, all of them, worldwide, and throughout history.
B. Brazil
1. the story is the same: I promise you goods, travel, money, homes, .......wealth.
How many fell for this? MOST!!! And, today, even in popularity poles, the majority of Brazilians are supporting of President Jair Bolsonaro, a clone of Donald Trump with a full right wing Protestant Christian and Ultra Conservative Business and Political Base.
2. Brazilians have fallen for this, and they forgot the story of the Pied Pipers, and succumbed to the notion that Bolsonaro would save them from the "rats of poverty", and give them jobs, wealth, and right the government to some sort of "magical righting" (a magical righting with is not the solutions needed).
3. When the Second or further needs some to the population (well, neither Trump or Boslsonaro fulfilled any single promise of the first need.....it was all fake, and the Pied Pipers' rats are worse than the actual fair tale: the rats returned, hungrier).
Well, having 13 books on this written, and 25 blogs, and mostly getting burned out with the US Pied Piper Story (well, traumatized by it, actually), it has been easy to see this in my second home, Brazil.
1. People are in need: they do need jobs, money, education, less taxes, etc. They do need a refrigerator, a subway, a vacation, a movie ticket, a good meal, etc.
2. But, hidden in all of us is Greedy.
Along came the Pied Piper and promised all could get all.
Conned
Sold out to the Pied Piper and that propaganda machine of the full right wing Protestant Christian and Ultra Conservative Business and Political Base.
3. Then, the Second Need comes. It's the closing days of 2020, and this very day, Bolsonaro, in the face of the Pandemic says:
I will not be responsible for the virus.
I will not have the federal government buy vaccines, and direct the deployment distribution
This is the responsibility of the States, not the federal government
So, Bolsonaro both denies responsibility, denies aid, and will not implement ANY plan, purchase, or campaign to vaccinate.
In fact, this is the response of all Pied Pipers:
I didn't do it.
I'm not responsible
It's your fault.
And, fuck you people, I don't care about your life, humanity, and by the way, fuck you again.
And, both Pied Pipers has used a lie common just to the USA and Brazil, because it's just one of any cop outs a Pied Piper would lose. "It's the States Responsibility". When ever Trump AND Bolsonaro found themselves in a sticky situation, they both "responsibility shifted" the problems and solutions to the states. This may be more common in the USA, but Bolsonaro is using a fact of Brazil to do this also: Brazil, is also like the USA, a union of states with limited autonomy and self-direction. But, in a time when an excuse is needed, it's just shifted to the responsibility of each State, whether it be California or Nevada, or Minas Gerais state or Amazonas State.
Who loses: everybody loses, though the 1/3 political follower base of Donald Trump and 51% part of the Brazilian population that are followers of Jair Bolsonaro (his current pole's fan base).
How dangerous is the Pied Pipers?
When a story is active in society, it's a matter of life or death for ALL, ultimately.
We now how this Pied Piper has brought the US to the brink of a half million deaths, and near 20 million infections, and most of the economic an business base destroyed from the Pandemic (for which the Pied Piper of Washington DC has been out golfing). But, in Brazil:
1. there is not plan to purchase vaccines. Indeed that is the statement of the world news today: there is no plan. Nada
2. there is no system to distribute the vaccines, where most countries, including the USA, long had military and distribution plans. Brazil has NO plan, not trial runs, no organization.
3. it could take until 90 days before States in Brazil organize against the shocking approach of their Pied Piper, Bolsonaro. The, that is just the time experts outside of Brazil state that a plan may just start. Then, there will be still the waves of prioritized vaccinations of health care workers and the ill.....before Jose Carioca gets a shot.
How many in Brazil may still get infected and how many may still die since this whole operation in Brazil is 9 months behind other countries?
1. simply projects will lead to the unnecessary infection of several more millions, and the unneeded deaths of 100's of thousand.
2. but, the infection rate and death toll is always greater when a Pied Piper is thrown in the mix of a problem like the Pandemic. Here's how: the Pied Piper sells only "their own rescue plan". They're not concerned with humans or humanity or Covid. They generate conspiracy theories and have lead to covid doubters. This ultimately increased infection rates and deaths for reasons that make sense to you.
This news is NOT 6 months ago, but Today:
Brasília
President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) said
on Wednesday (23) that the best vaccine for Covid-19 is the coronavirus
itself, which has killed more than 188,000 people in Brazil.
Without a mask, the president greeted supporters who, for the most
part, were also unprotected and flocked to photos in São Francisco do
Sul (SC), where he has been resting since the weekend.
In a live broadcast on his social network, Bolsonaro appears
approaching a man who gives him a mask as a gift and recommends that the
president clean the item.
"I don't use it, but that's okay," said Bolsonaro when he received
the protection item from the supporter, who, like him, had an exposed
mouth and nose.
"I had the best vaccine, it was the virus," followed the president. "No side effects," he said.
Brazil recorded 963 deaths from Covid-19 and 55,799 cases of the
disease on Tuesday (22). As a result, the country reached 188,285 deaths
and 7,320,020 people infected with the new coronavirus since the
beginning of the pandemic.
Club parties in Rio De Janeiro, and right wing fundamentalist Christian conspiracy theories parties in the USA: super spreader events that will lead to thousands of deaths.
These must be brought into conscious awareness and stopped before any next step would open up, whether that be in you as a person or on this planet.
the rise of populism
the rise of conservative and isolation ideas (the GOP)
and the control of government with their representatives, mainly Donald Trump
The great storms are warnings of doom:
the apocalypse movies
the rise in cancers worldwide
the rise in displaced, poor, and hungry peoples
world conflict
etc.
Eventually, when there is not longer any checks and balances (a part of the Divine Feminine Within), that a single storm becomes the Perfect storm. And, the single Pied Piper becomes a gang of them. The metaphor of the Evil Clown: there is not longer one of them to deal with, but a WHOLE Carnival of Evil Clowns, out to not just frighten you, but true to those movies, slash and eat you.
Carl Jung said in the 60's
1. only the feminine role can save us (a human with a soul, and the human race / planet)
2. only the person (referring mostly to men), who bring into their souls their other HALF (not less than halves), can be whole and healed (only the Feminine can save us).
3. only the feminine role brought back in fully, given a voice, allowed leadership: can save countries, society, humanity, and the planet (he saw global destruction and man's (male men's Patriarchy), as heading us to apocalypse. While he didn't see global warming in his time, he did see "man's" just extracting things from the earth and nature as Rampant. He talked about unbridled and rampant Male force, that has been part of the Patriarchy of all societies of the last 2300 years. He said this unchecked male force, must be first stopped, then the divine, inner, and outer feminine must intervene, lead, change. It is all about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Jane Fonda. Jung was also one to champion the voices of both youth and elderly women, allowing Greta Tunbergs to aid, and promoting the "crone guides" of elderly women. Young and old were part because the male force would ignore youth, male and female, and ignore the elderly, both male but also crone female. What we have now is men allow a place, chair, and voice to just some middle class women, white, smart but can Kowtow, but not races (or, as in the US, not foreigners, of other religions, etc. ).
4. Jung said that in the 2,000's it will be the grand emergence of the next Human's Myth, a universal myth ready to emerge, there's signs of it, and it has to happen for the healing of the soul and the planet's soul. He called this the wedding of the Soul: instead of having the patriarchy of the last 2300 years (which we are in it's end), and instead of just the Matriarchy of societies from 5,000 BC to 300 BC (known by Gaia, Wiccan, or females based societies and religions).
Why are we at a critical point? Jung said this must happen in time at the next Millennium. It hasn't happened yet. Is this "wedding of the soul", the divine marriage, also what was said to be the Age of Aquarius?
What is Personal and Societal Alchemy?
Where is the evil clown carnival and it's populist evil clowns now? Every where in the world, with no exceptions.
This is a time of chaos. One could say it's only "bad", but this flux with real human suffering of the millions is also the alchemical environment for massive change.

Or "Evil Clown Carnival Gets Shut Down, in the Nick of Time"
Some photos of damages from the metaphor of mud overflow, Tsunami, the "perfect storm", and the metaphor of the ship as a symbol of a human, a group, fishing / food, or luxury (yacht and cruise ships).

These are metaphors of the perfect storms, such as those in our lives, but mostly this very Time, worldwide. Included are some graphics on Perfect Storm movies.
Storms:
This morning I completed my daily gleaning of world news, online. Unlike even just 2 years ago, there is so much chaos.
Analysts say that there has never been such political chaos in the world: radical groups, attempted coups, violence, and 10% of the human population displaced by war, violence, ethnic cleansing, AND poverty.
Religionists say it's a sign of the end times. It sure seems that way, but Apocalypse and Warnings of the Grate Storms are part of this whole Mythology, but the Doom Sign Holders have also been there in all times and places and history. The Apocalypse is the warning and a part of agitating humans to make the drastic and yet unwanted change to prevent it.
Educated analysts from dozens if not hundreds of Universities world wide say that the greatest disruption that catalyzed chaos worldwide and allowed this disruption in every country was one event: the world leader, the USA, stepped out of world leadership, charity, education, and involvement worldwide in these every countries, with
the rise of populism
the rise of conservative and isolation ideas (the GOP)
and the control of government with their representatives, mainly Donald Trump
But, these three tipped over, the pot of these three, so to speak, spilled out over the land. It overflowed.
What should have been just an 8 year counter balancing stint with the GOP party's control, was turned to the dark side. There was no longer one evil clown, but it became a crazy clown carnival of true dangers.
The Metaphor of the Perfect Storm is evolving into apocalyptic forms, so that the mind might understand it's criticality and experience the needed panic that motivates us to seek a new way, method, voice, etc. This can be seen in features that emerge, particularly in Western cinema:
1. Apocalypse Los Angeles
2. Storm chasers and the emerging idea of multiple storms, tornadoes
3. this myth is also "aided" or contributed to by zombie movies, disaster movies, disease movies, and alien invasion. There are also the global warming disaster movies, though Populism and Trump, reasons above, moved those off center stage. Still, a Trump, a Putin, or a Bolsonaro cannot stop the myth as it emerges in society and the mind of every person (called by Jung the Collective and Emerging / Evolving unconscious).
The storm, evil clown carnival, or others above are the harbinger, messenger, and hope of coming change.
