The Home Owner vs Guest, and the Living Dead

by ibn-Khalid
Nov 2024

Imagine you are a home owner. You own a house. You live there. It is your home. You bought it with your money. You built it or renovated it. Maybe you inherited it from your parents. You have home ownership documents that prove it’s yours. You did not illegally occupy it. There is no legal dispute whatsoever on the ownership. It is truly and rightfully yours. And you will probably pass it down to your children when you die, or to whomever you wish if you don’t have children. It is your piece of property. Your asset. You can do whatever you want with it. You have rights over it.

Now imagine, a guest comes over. They stay at your home for a night. Next morning when you wake up, all of your stuff is out in the street. And you are asked to leave as well. Your guest, who you now regard as a criminal, has kicked you out. They have usurped your property, against your wishes, without your consent, and are now calling it to be theirs.

You think what your guest (“the criminal”) has done is against the law. You rush to the police station. You try to file a compliant. The police do not hear you. You hurry to the nearest court. You try to file a case. The justice system does not hear you. You try to make this issue public – you go onto the internet, you try to make this known locally, internationally – you write letters to several powerful governments – you ask for help from the international community – nobody hears you.

No. Body. Hears. You.

Maybe, some people do hear you, and they agree that a criminal activity has taken place, and they would like justice for you. But these people are not in governments. They do not have enough power to put direct pressure on the guests, kick them out of your property, and prosecute them for their criminal activity. These people happen to be scattered throughout the world – they are not united as one – and unfortunately they seem to be occupied in their own problems – they can only think about you at certain times. And when they do think about you, they find themselves helpless to be able to do anything other than raising their voice for the injustice that has been done onto you. Maybe they also do a few peaceful protests requesting their governments to take action. They boycott the businesses supporting the guests. And that’s probably about it.

Some of these people wish they could house you, and provide for you until you can stand on your feet again, while fighting for your home that was illegally taken away from you, but unfortunately these well-wishers live in countries whose governments won’t allow you visas, residency permits, or citizenship.

So you are still out there, in the street, with no roof above your head. It’s cold. It is dark.

Wait…

There are some other people who hear you have been closely watching you. These include governments and their military establishments.

But.

They don’t side with you. They think what you are saying is hostile and full of prejudice towards the guest. And this is what they have to say to you:

How dare you complain about your house getting illegally occupied? This is anti-guest!

Anybody who sides with you, or says something in your favor, will now be labelled as an “anti-guest”. And this will not be taken lightly. All those people who think you have been wronged, and raise their voice for you, will be interrogated, harassed, and threatened. Their voices will be suppressed by whatever means necessary.

We will put all of our police force into monitoring social media feeds of these anti-guests. Police will raid their homes, interrogate them, harass them, intimidate them, threaten them, and not leave them alone until they shut up.

How dare these people, these sheep, these herds, stand in front of our mighty governments and military establishments and ask us to take action against our dear guests. Our guests are above the law. They shall have whatever they like. And we (the mighty powerful governments who are actually on the payroll of the guests) will back our guests blindly and unconditionally.

And if these peasants plan to do a peaceful protest (which we know is allowed in our constitution), we will use our full force against them. We do not care about the law, the constitution, and we certainly do not have any ounce of humanity left in us.

We (the powerful people in governments or, in some cases, the real controllers of puppet governments) are in fact a bunch of business owners, money lenders – usury collectors, wealth hoarders, and beneficiaries of war and conflict – and our stakes are too high and too closely tied with those of the guests. The guests are too big to fail. And they shall be bailed out at all costs.

We have a large flock of force, who (lucky for us) do not think with their own heads, who just care about their pay checks, who will do whatever we tell them to do, who are bound to respect the “chain of command” no matter what the order – who will follow our orders without any questions.

We present our forces as heroes in the society.

We have conditioned our society to thank our forces for their “service” even for killing of innocent human beings. We have coined terms like “collateral damage” and “civilian casualties”, but in most cases we just cover everything up under the “terrorists” term. Thanks to our tactics and clever marketing of this profession, we get plenty of new applicants every year who also want to become “heroes”. And we reward them handsomely.

Why would we not dedicate most of our budget (which in reality is the taxpayers money) to our “slave” force?! After all, they obey us like none other.

We have given powerful weapons to our force. The peasants don’t and can’t have them. Even better, we have made laws that only our force can carry highly destructive weapons and use them wherever they deem necessary or wherever they feel like it, and the peasants can’t do the same, even if it be for self-defense against our forces’ unconstitutional, illegal or unethical actions. Any peasant “self-defending” themselves against our forces’ brutality will be severely punished for their act “crime”. Yes, this we call a crime. The guest illegally occupying your home – that to us, is not a crime.

Our power and our arrogance comes from our wealth, our weaponry, our force, our “chain of command”, our laws, our hired liars in the media, and more importantly, from the majority of people who are silent on the matter and will stay silent no matter what – because they simply do not think with their own heads, and they do not care. How could they? We have put them on drugs. Mental drugs, that is.

This vast majority of people are nothing more than zombies. They are living beings but dead on the inside. They are more concerned about the next sports contest, next music concert, next fashion event, next episode of their favorite TV show, next film, next drama, next computer game, next piece of mental drug – anything that can take their minds off reality. Any circus will do! Any circus shall do!

And if any of these zombies do happen to switch to a news channel, they’ll only hear what we want them to hear! Our guests own and have control over majority of the mainstream news media. Our news is presented by professional liars who’d say anything for a good sum of money. They manipulate opinions of the masses through trickery, clever use of words, rumors, gossips, lies, by not inviting the right speakers for the matter, or not allowing time to interviewees to speak if some of them do start stating facts and attempt to shed light on the truth. Thankfully, the zombies only see the surface (and not what’s beneath it), and they have a high regard for these professional liars who appear on the TV screens as newscasters, journalists, anchors, interviewers, celebrities, and whatnot.

Censorship – no problem. Diversion tactics – easy. We can break or even create other big stories, if need be, to divert people’s attention.

Out of sight, out of mind!

Your situation remains unchanged. It’s actually getting worse. You are still out in the cold. You have no food, nothing to feed your children or elderly parents.

How will you live? Where will you live?

The home you had, the home you lived in, the home you grew up in, the home your parents lived in, the home you owned, the home you own, the home that is yours – is no longer yours to live in.

The guest, the criminal, now lives, laughs, and sleeps in your home.

You thought you were the only victim. Soon you start meeting other home owners who have also been kicked out of their homes. Their homes too have been illegally occupied by the guests. Apparently, there is a mob of guests. They have been illegally occupying your land, your homes, your possessions – they have even changed the name of your country to their liking and are now claiming it to be theirs. This has been going on for decades. The powerful governments of the world have been going along with whatever the guests have been doing. Some of these governments have even recognized the new name given to your homeland by the guests.

The guest has illegally occupied your home.

You have been labelled as the anti-guest. And so are the people who side with you.

The world has turned a blind eye to the crimes committed against you.

Your land, your home, your country, no longer shows on the map as yours.

And on top of all that, no body hears you.

When it comes to you, people pretend to be deaf, and blind. They pretend you are not real – you are some imaginary character (out of a movie or a TV drama) that sometimes surfaces on their social media, and i.e. if you were lucky enough to make it into their apps’ scrolling algorithm which is based on their personal preferences, watch history and other logics put in by the app provider. And when your video does show up on their phones, they quickly scroll you up. They’d rather watch some dance, some fiction, some pranks, some comedy, some art, some magic, some something, anything but your story.

A Roman poet once said:

Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.

And that seems to be so true to this day. While you are suffering, the rest of the world is busy earning a living, going to their jobs, getting their pay checks, to get that bread. And any spare time they get, they spend it all on circuses – on mental drugs. There are endless mental drugs ranging from online video sharing sites to social media networks to TV shows, films, dramas, sports, games, and whatnot.

This moment, this very moment, as most of the people of the world are in their homes, resting, relaxing, eating, drinking, sleeping, enjoying, laughing – you are out there in the street, with your family, with your young children, with your elderly parents, without a home, without a roof over your heads, without food, without water, without sanitation.

How will you survive through this?

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. – Anon.

The “good” men are doing nothing. How can they – they are on drugs. Mental drugs. These “good” men are not good anymore. By turning a blind eye to the crimes committed against humanity, they have silently and willingly become a party to these crimes. “It’s okay – it’s not affecting me!”. Things don’t matter to them until they become the victim. They are nothing but selfish humans disguised as the “good” in society. They stand for nothing, but themselves.

It’s a sad sad reality. And I’m speechless.

Shame on the guests settlers occupiers1 who illegally occupied your home.

Shame on those2 who sent these occupiers over to your land without your permission.

Shame on all the government leaders that were, and still are a party to this crime.

Shame on all those who defend these Illegal Settlements3.

And lastly, shame on me if I died without doing anything to get you your home back from these criminals.
