An old song called "Cathy Don't Go" from the 80s has resurfaced and been making the rounds. The song's music video was initially "rediscovered" back in 2009 when it was uploaded to YouTube (at least that's the oldest uploaded version I could find) and prompted some interesting discussions in the comment section, some which (just the song's subject matter) have since aged frighteningly well...
Where did it come from?
The song is performed by a group called Heaven's Magic, which according to discogs.com was an "international gospel label run by [a] religious association [called] The Family International." Internet music database nubeat.org has a list of all the albums and songs by this group, all of which were released throughout the 1980s and into the early 90s. According to this list, "Cathy Don't Go" is the fourth song in the album This Must Be Heaven (originally released on cassette tape in 1985).
Coming to the song itself, first off I better warn you: if you're a fan of 80s music, this is quite an earworm and will more than likely be stuck in your head for quite some time. And (at least in my own biased opinion) this is quite a solid song for an obscure and otherwise unknown music group. The melody itself and visuals in the music video are exemplary of what 1980s pop music had to offer.
Scene-by-Scene Analysis
The music video opens with a radio advertisement promoting a "new craze" to listeners who are invited to register for their very own "666 bar-code implant". As the enthusiastic voice in the radio goes on to explain, there is now "no more need to carry cash or credit cards" and all payments will be "automatically subtracted from your bank account by the computer chip at the check-out stand..."
The camera has now zoomed out sufficiently for us to see Cathy, a young woman, sitting at the kitchen table writing a shopping list. Visibly annoyed at the radio announcement, she turns the little propaganda machine off and heads outside.
Queue the chorus line ("Cathy, don't go! Please, don't go!") accompanied by some characteristic (and fairly cringey) 80s dance moves. The lead singer warns Cathy not to go to the supermarket today as "there's a very strange man at the check-out stand and a laser scanner where you put your hand..."
The supermarket is guarded by two armed men in motorbike helmets (robo-cop style) and patrolled by a sinister-looking manager wearing a trench coat and sunglasses (can it get any more 80s than this?) The strange man at the check out stand is a giant (also wearing sunglasses) who points to the laser scanner. The wall in the background is covered in large red sixes.
"...without a computer ID there's no way to pay..." A customer looks up at the man in sunglasses who nods in approval. (Note the number on his name tag...)
"I know there's a sale and a special on rice and you can buy beans at a giveaway price. But that's just their way to get you down there. What you don't know is that they're everywhere!" Here we see four customers who fill up their shopping carts in a perfectly synchronised robotic manner before turning to look at the camera. Pale as snow and seemingly dead inside, they all have bar-codes tattooed on their foreheads.
"They had a special program on the TV last night, explaining calmly why these things must be done right..." The camera zooms in on a TV set where a scientist presents his latest test subject (who has a bar-code on the back of his hand). A woman in the back of the room (the customer who looked at the "strange man" for approval) is branded on the forehead with a bar-code by another scientist wearing a blue face mask.
"They say the new computer is the way to control. But what they didn't say is that it costs your soul..." (no comment)
Meanwhile, Cathy makes her way to the supermarket. A customer is prevented from paying with cash and her hand is forcefully swiped over the laser scanner. The transaction is approved and the "strange man" with sunglasses nods his head allowing the customer to take her goods and leave the store.
Cathy arrives at the supermarket and is shocked by what she sees through the window. The robo-cop guards and the bar-coded customers all stare at her. ("Oh Cathy, can't you see what they're trying to do?") The scene fades to the control room where a new figure, all dressed in black and standing behind another blatant 666, flicks a switch and monitors the inside of the supermarket via security cameras. ("This isn't just a new craze, they want to make us their slaves...")
The bar-coded customers continue their shopping in their synchronised robotic manner while the man in the control room watches with glee. Here the video flashes between the enslaves customers and the laughing man in the control room. (Hmm... I wonder who this might be?)
Cathy is beckoned into the supermarket but a young man catches up with her and dissuades her from going in. ("Cathy let's leave while there's still time to get away...") Cathy and the young man (her boyfriend?) make a run for it. The man in sunglasses walks out of the supermarket and the robo-cops prepare to shoot, but sunglasses-guy motions for them to hold their fire.
"Honey, don't worry just take my hand. We can make it even if we have to live off the land..." Hand in hand, Cathy and her boyfriend get away and meet up with some friends in the woods who are overjoyed to see them. The seven friends run in the direction of the setting sun and jump with joy. Freeze frame. Fade out. The End!
Making Sense of it Today
Songs and music videos like this will instantly raise a few eyebrows. Cashless society? Laser scanners? Digital IDs? No entry without the code? Sounds an awful lot like a wacky conspiracy theory to me! At least, so it did before the 2020s, the decade of the "Great Reset" and "Fourth Industrial Revolution" that are currently being ushered in under the pretext of a global pandemic.
Pandemic? What Pandemic? You know... the virus that's so deadly you need a test to even know you have it... A virus so crafty that it only affects the gullible peasantry who fear it while at the same time giving politicians, journalists and "the experts" we see everyday on TV a free pass... A virus that just keeps mutating and conveniently develops a new strain just as our trustworthy leaders were promising to lift the restrictions they have imposed on compliant citizens for the better part of two years now...
Anyway, before we go on another tangent about this dreaded C-19 virus that is here to stay, let's return to the matter at hand, namely this peculiar music video from the 1980s. Just imagine watching that back in 2019. What would your initial reaction have been? Perhaps one of the following?
"Ugh! Those crazy Christians are at it again with their wacky conspiracy theories!"
"Typical 80s science-fiction. This is never going to happen!"
"More 'satanic-panic' nonsense. Time to get real!"
And What about now? Does it still seem so far-fetched in a world where Austria is enforcing mandatory vaccination for February 2022? Where Greece is threatening to fine the over 60s every month for not getting the jab?
President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen (a former cabinet minister in Merkel's Germany) has suggested that mandatory "Covid jabs" must be considered at EU level. This is the same Ursula von der Leyen who is on good terms with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and is married to Heiko von der Leyen, a medical director of Orgenesis, a biotech company specialising in cell and gene therapies (move along, nothing to see here...)
I remember a time when the concept of mandatory vaccinations was dismissed as a dangerous "anti-vaxxer" conspiracy theory. Considering what is happening in the world today, I think we can now safely say that those who have been warning us about this (for decades no less) have now been fully vindicated, while those who were most vocal in dismissing these "silly conspiracy theories" (their words) will now either become deafeningly silent or even have the audacity to claim that "there's nothing wrong with mandatory vaccinations! Why all the fuss?!"
In any case, regardless of the methods or motives as to what is happening today, a "mark of the beast system" as portrayed in "Cathy Don't Go" does now seem to be within the reach of the masterminds whose financial profits and physical (not to mention mental and psychological) control over the rest of us will have been accomplished. And like lemmings throwing themselves off the edge of a cliff, the sleeping masses are falling for it. No, not falling. They're actually begging for it. Aldous Huxley couldn't have phrased it better: "they will love their servitude..."
But despite all of these bleak implications that the near future has to offer, there remains a glimmer of hope. Like Cathy and her friends, we don't have to succumb to this emerging tyrannical dictatorship and can find a way to break away and "live off the land." It won't be easy and is of course a lot harder than it sounds. But what's the alternative? A life of slavery where one missed "booster shot" appointment or one bad word against the government will cost us valuable "social credits" and earn us the wrath of our fellow slaves who are only aching for a chance to win some brownie points with their overlords to signal how obedient and virtuous they are... No thanks!
So, in conclusion, Cathy didn't go and neither should we. It may be too late to stop the "Great Reset" now, but one thing is for sure: I will have no part in it. Will you?
