Pool and Cull Colony Management


Colony management is, I am adamant

The basic way all life is planned upon

SPF practices keep lab mice safe

Until there's a breach, then safety all caves.


Pool and cull, the management chime

The sick, old and excess are costing us dimes.

Protect the colony, cull excess quick.

But careful, as actions can make even more sick. 


“Pool & Cull” the letters in bold,

Across the cages, the order told.

A phrase of science, but cruel at heart,

Lives reduced to a manager’s chart. 


Old, sick, excess — struck from the line,

To guard the colony, to buy more time.

Yet in that purge to keep it all clean,

Far more fall than the germ would have seen


The toll keeps rising, the truth runs thin,

The lab admits the pathogens win.

So off the SPF list, the germ is dropped,

The culls abandoned, the efforts stopped.


And out in the world, the pattern repeats,

Our elders pooled into care-home seats.

Cut from care, left drugged to die,

While leaders sold the public a lie.


They promised protection, delivered decay,

Genocide hidden in protocol’s sway.

Lab hands know — we’ve run this course,

How “safety” kills behind closed doors.

    Covid inquiry hears of care home 'slaughter'

    Deaths: ~46,000 care home residents died in England & Wales (Mar 2020–Jan 2022), many early in the pandemic.

    Rapid hospital discharges: Likely introduced Covid into care homes.

    DNRs & visiting restrictions: Blanket Do Not Resuscitate orders; families often couldn’t see loved ones.

    Staffing issues: Understaffed homes; many minimum-wage or migrant workers; some untrained or non-English speaking; fearful of spreading Covid.

    Testing & PPE: Limited testing early on; PPE shortages; some PPE unfit or staff untrained to use it.

    Emotional impact: Families reported trauma, confusion, and lack of dignity; staff described virus spreading “like wildfire.”

    Inquiry focus: Systemic failures, accountability, lessons for future care, evidence from families, care workers, unions, and local government.

    "Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) is a term used for laboratory animals that are guaranteed free of particular pathogens. Use of SPF animals ensures that specified diseases do not interfere with an experiment. For example, absence of respiratory pathogens such as influenza is desirable when investigating a drug's effect on lung function."

A Marriage of Science & Mysticism

Update Feb 2025:  There is now a dedicated space for this type of discussion off of my poetry blog and over at:   mentalimageryresistance.co.uk   Hopefully this clarified advocacy paper makes more sense to people than my ramblings here:  Locating Unifying Language: Multiple Intelligences, Mental Sensory Perception, and Mental Imagery . For the Record:  I am no authority on this matter. I am an independent researcher and advocate for more clarity in the language and definitions used in mental imagery research. Raising awareness of the need for more research into what those with multisensory aphantasia possess .  Dysikonesia, Aphantasia and a Sophisma Uncovering a Key to the Minds Mental Mixing Deck It occurred to me one day, that taken for their literal meaning only, the psychic concepts of the  Seven Clair's and the Daimon, provide handy language framework for all the main mental senses. Clairvoyance,  literally means ' clear seeing ' or the ' f...

Fifteen Types of Mental Imagery and Vividness Ranges

Update Feb 2025:  There is now a dedicated space for this type of discussion off of my poetry blog and over at:   mentalimageryresistance.co.uk   Hopefully this clarified advocacy paper makes more sense to people than my ramblings here:  Locating Unifying Language: Multiple Intelligences, Mental Sensory Perception, and Mental Imagery .  For the Record:  I am no authority on this matter. I am an independent researcher and advocate for more clarity in the language and definitions used in mental imagery research. Raising awareness of the need for more research into what those with multisensory aphantasia possess .  Introduction to the Proposed Framework The new framework that I have presented, designed to help with understanding mental imagery, now includes fifteen distinct modalities ( what I call 'yedas'—a long story short, my mind worked backwards from the need to find language for the imagery I do possess—despite having global aphantasia—to the point...

A Transgenic Note

Transgenic mutants  are deliberately deformed, disabled and disordered for animal research purposes. We can create human-animal chimeras, put human DNA into every cell of a mouse, make cells glow green with jellyfish protein, just to be sure, but no amount of human DNA in a mouse will turn it into a human. No matter how much that mouse thinks it might be able to identify with minute aspects of being human, it cannot. It will always be a mutant of a mouse, exploited for biotech gain. Humanized mice do not get human rights.  Law and language for transgenic animals and other such biotech mutants is important and nomenclature is complex . The breeding, movement and welfare of animals under such procedures must be monitored and regulated for the welfare and integrity of both wild and lab lines. Law and language applies differently to animals outside of laboratories, for good reason. Transgenic mutants are covered by the basic animal welfare laws, but they also have ASPA (1986), t...

The Mind’s Eye: A Conversation with Dr. Adam Zeman

Update Feb 2025:  There is now a dedicated space for this type of discussion off of my poetry blog and over at:   mentalimageryresistance.co.uk   Hopefully this clarified advocacy paper makes more sense to people than my ramblings here:  Locating Unifying Language: Multiple Intelligences, Mental Sensory Perception, and Mental Imagery . For the Record:  I am no authority on this matter. I am an independent researcher and advocate for more clarity in the language and definitions used in mental imagery research. Raising awareness of the need for more research into what those with multisensory aphantasia possess .  Dr. Adam Zeman is a pioneering figure in the study of aphantasia, the inability to produce mental imagery. In a recent discussion with him, I explored the evolving understanding of this fascinating condition, its terminology, and the spectrum of experiences associated with it. Dr. Zeman defines aphantasia as the lack of mental imagery . Initially, t...
