The issues of the day aren’t random surprises in a long line of evolution. These are the things of life that take on extra prominence because we’re thinking about it. There is a reasoned debate about most things and an event brings it to light for most if not all of us.
The problem is that a debate is tipped in its delicate balance by a shock to the system. This distorts the discussion and leads to false conclusions. It contorts the reason for most public institutions and leads to deep unease in most people.
Plots and plans
The events that take on a national aspect are thought of first in the secrecy of deception. This is criminal activity that is a frenzy of adrenaline and corrupt ideas. It’s forged in bitterness and heightened by the thought of some type of gain.
The baseline for this is the streets that most of us live on. It may be a lack of employment that leads to personal poverty. It may be decay that has set in to an entire community because of betrayal. This is all too true in the UK.
The plots and plans that come out of discussions around a kitchen table are rudimentary. They don’t have investors and they don’t have schematics. They aren’t the result of MBA’s or business meetings that have tips and tricks to succeed.
Early mornings
The next step is setting out to make the thought into a reality. It means making contact with other suspect figures. It means staking out the ground to make it safe to launch an attempt. It involves further periods of time waiting on deliveries of resources or finding out new angles for attack.
This is common up and down the country. It filters into normal society and sometimes becomes a part of our reality. It brushes past us and operates in shadows because we’re not aware. We’re not alert to the person doing it unless it happens. We’re not privy to the knowledge until it really takes place.
The early mornings and late nights of criminals means its economy is also largely hidden. It can open up in one location in a short timeframe and yet play a larger role over time in some sort of street crime. This is how a back corner of an industrial estate becomes a hive of conspiracy.
Interpretive acts
There are incidents that take on an added shape because of an aspect that is personal. These are cultural or civilisational points that mean something to us because we feel or live it in some way. This confuses the fact it’s still plain crime.
The hatred in some is not the point. It’s the opportunity that’s made out of splits down the middle. It may be a corrupt Police Officer. It may be a dodgy counselling service. It may be a fraudulent insurance company. These come in on the back of sinister activity to defraud people.
These too are details or facets of the incident that matter to others. Yet it shouldn’t detract from the premeditated nature of all of it. The result of most hatred is a softer act or an altercation. The push or force of crime is much deeper set in the maliciousness of bad people.
