We will one day have great regrets of where we allowed this web of lies to lead us. The writing has been screaming from the wall! More are finally listening, but not nearly enough.
I listened to Rogan with Bill Maher this week and I was astounded at his ability to simultaneously start to wake up to some things but then decry that three Trump presidency was something that had to be "survived... barely". The damage the media wrought upon the intellectually incurious is so pervasive that it will be impossible to overcome for many.
I hope that the crazier it gets, the more people will begin to wake up. The powers have been waving a shiny object to distract the masses for so long. People have become addicted to their complacency.
I agree. That's the house of cards analogy. Once it begins to crumble, it all then goes. This is why so many are holding on so tightly to lies even when the truth is right in front of them. I worry about what this means though. What does it look like when so many people's worlds come crashing down at once? It's already trying times for many.
I know the article is a couple of months old, but I felt the need to respond to add something that concerns me and ties some of this together.
I saw the "Hatecraft" (although I did not know that term at the time) in play when the WH, Democrats and media suddenly started pumping out this "threat of White Supremacy" rhetoric a couple of years ago.
I immediately recognized it for what it was, another scare tactic to pump up the base and terrify them in swallowing Left wing bullshit. As I recall, it was also around the time the COVID nonsense they had been pushing to divide people began to wane, and they needed a new wedge, and I thought that was all it was..
But then, I began to recognize it as something deeper and more insidious
The Left/Deep State/Leviathan, whatever you want to call them (I prefer Tyranny, Inc when you add in the RINOs and Corporations) were setting up justification for martial law in some form. They were prepping the battle space for justifying increasingly draconian measures in to combat the "White Nationalist Threat", and laying the groundwork for direct police state action against dissidents. The narrative was being established that a domestic terrorist threat ('Greater than Al Queda and Isis!') of angry, white rural reactionaries were planning to finish what January 6th started.
It was then that both the wide open border policy and encouragement of crime via lax law enforcement made more sense to me. They would be set up as the match and fuse to blow up our rights, justifying the enactment of martial law and military suppression of political opponents.
Let's put aside the very real threat that all these unvetted people pose as agents of hostile powers, and just go with some them being truly criminal and dangerous, and the rest being human and subject to coercion and manipulation.
The scenario in my mind began unfolding.
MILLIONS of illegal migrants pour into the country and are spread all around the nation. Cities, suburbs and small towns now deal with aliens who at BEST strain the resources of those places, displacing Americans and create tensions and resentment. At worst, they actively prey on Americans, who are robbed, raped murdered and otherwise terrorized while law enforcement at various levels do NOTHING.
When some law enforcement DOES do something because maybe where you live, they actually respect the law and the police, you have a bunch of "Jorge Floyd" incidents the media exploits, talking about xenophobia and racism and, you guessed it, 'White Nationalism'. It is never about the criminal aliens, but about the reaction to them.
At some point, Americans in places get fed up, particularly after some vicious gangs wreak havoc on an area, or a spectacularly gruesome crime is committed. They begin fighting back, first in direct self defense when assaulted, but then as vigilantes because the government has abdicated their responsibilities. IE, criminals acting with impunity in an area suddenly turn up dead, or disappear.
As the resistance to these crimes increases, the government and media portray it all as the actions of White Nationalist Militias and Neo-Nazis. Maybe Putin gets thrown in there for good measure. They ramp up the rhetoric and the threat, even as the chaos the presence of all these illegals increases.
Eventually, when the war, and it has become a sort of war, boils over, the government uses the actions of people just trying to defend themselves and their homes as 'insurrection', and use it to ramp up the tyranny in the name of fighting fascism.
This scenario particularly works if there is any serious effort to round up and deport all the illegals, and this I think THIS was the check mate move that was made here by Democrats.
As any round up begins, Antifa and the like are re-activated, as are all the bad actors among the illegal population, and violence and chaos erupts on a nation level. The media takes the side of the rioters and illegals, of course, and decries this rise of right-wing fascism, and comparisons to Nazis rounding up jews are made freely.
"The blacks and gays are next!" will be the rallying cry.
As Americans defend themselves from this new and vicious crime wave all over the place, it will be used as fuel to the fire, with calls for the government to 'step in' and quell the chaos and establish order by any means necessary.
NOW, if we then add in the prospect of there being enemy agents among the millions of illegals, the ability the exploit all the above mayhem by them increased by an order of magnitude AND any terrorist actions they commit further strengthens Tyranny, Inc. justification on cracking down with military force
I might not have all the specifics correct, but I think this is where we are headed.
I did not come by this easily. Some of it was from being personally affected by this spreading mind virus when I was forced to leave a career of 20+ years at the height of it.
I just started to notice the increasing and sustained 'insanity' of these things, and taken the advice of people to take a step back and realize that if something seems insane, maybe you are not understanding the motivations and end goals. You need to adjust your filter. You were one of those people helping to understand that.
I was NOT a guy who bought into conspiracies 8 years ago. I debated 9/11 conspiracists online for years. But when you keep seeing things that do NOT make sense, but people in power PERSIST in them, you have to question whether 'incompetence' or 'stupidity' or even 'greed' can explain it. In this case, even 'insanity' is just a term for something you have yet to understand.
I do not claim to know 'the conspiracy' end point or goal to the letter. But I do see the logical outcomes of various 'insane' policies, take a survey of what motivations people have (control information, suppress opposition, retain power, revolution, etc), check their rhetoric and past tactics, and then work backwards from the logical end results.
"It is obvious where this ends up. They HAVE to know where this ends up. No one is that stupid. So they must WANT it to end up there...Why?"
Reading a lot of people with various personal insights also helps.
What REALLY clinches it though, is when you come to grips with the idea that the evil that lived in the Third Reich, Boshevik Russia and Maoist China never died. It merely changed form. Mutated. It wears a different skin, and speaks in a different voice, uses mostly different words.
But it is still a goddamn werewolf, and it is looking for blood. And it literally has no conscience.
This country was NOT immune to its infection. We thought so. We were wrong.
You have done yeoman's work listing all the indoctrination and hatred that has been drilled into people.
All has that hateful energy has to go SOMEWHERE, will go somewhere, and I think there are those who were directing for a purpose all along.
I take no joy in being able to perceive all this because I have a very, very bad feeling in my gut about what's coming. I can SEE it...but I also FEEL it.
Thanks for allowing me to vent. You do great work.
"the evil that lived in the Third Reich, Boshevik Russia and Maoist China never died. It merely changed form.Mutated'
Bingo 🎯👏
I used to think that some sociopath had used Orwell's 1984 as a guide to build his dream society, a nightmare
Then circa 2017 my otherwise brilliant 25 y.o. nephew said: "Gender is just a social construct anyway, right uncle Jim?"
Uh no, not right! Why would you say that to me? OMG 😱 Down the Social Justice rabbit hole I went 🙄
What I found was shocking;
the architects of Group Identity Politics, the dogma that has captured the Western Mind now powers
"The Truman Show",
architects are openly Marxist!
WTH?
Decades of Cold War results in Marxism/Communism=Good. Capitalism = Bad
After all that
Of course We Americans should let Marxists educate our children, do you have a problem with that?
Well yes I do.
You're a Bigot! 🙄
What is Nazism?
Socialist ideology obsessed with Race Essentialism Motivated by race grievance, how a certain ethnicity has an Unearned Advantage and so impedes success of the more deserving chosen race
What is Critical Social Justice? (CSJ) with CRT DEI etc is
Race Essentialism
Plus TRA Queer etc
Marxist derivative ideology advocating CRT Nazi-Adjacent Racist views re: how the mere existence of a certain ethnicity is toxic to all others due to their collective guilt for the sins of their ancestors
Whiteness
We allowed this to happen
Then on Oct 7th, 2023 it was declared that Jews are
Hyper-white oppressors
US streets exploded in antisemitic violence
Just flipped an psycho switch
And
The Truman Show has a new target
And Hitler's hand picked chosen ideological successors (islamists) are the new oppressed POC group
Glad you decided to publish. These insights are discussed daily in parking lots, checkout lines, and dinner tables. With the shelf life of false information now measured in hours, tactics pivoted to confusion, dilution, and general vanguardism.
This is a good article as always. However, need to point something out:
"My point being, every criticism of the left cannot be responded to with something about the right"
I get what you are saying, but they are the same apparatus. The left needs their enemy. So does the right... this is how the dialectic works. The right from a meta perspective is the controlled opposition which has swallowed legitimate dissent. Previously it has been the left who was the controlled opposition.. it is fluid. ( early 00s)The system currently uses the right to frame its opposition to the left in the way they desire, which is never a threat to the establishment. Nowhere on the right is anyone actually working to counter this agenda and that includes DeSantis all his free state of Florida propaganda.. just silly. I digress
As far as coming to a precipice, that is being managed as well. I do not know what will happen of course,, but whatever happens will be organized just like Jan 6th, taking down and criminalizing everything with it, including legitimate dissent. ( the house just voted to equate anti-zionism with anti- Semitic with massie the lone no.) The event will be like that on steroids as they are doing globally, essentially criminalizing dissent. Quite a number of bills are pending that could make public what they already do privately . ( domestic terrorism threat reduction act among others..)
The republic is gone. Politically, "both" sides are managed. Trump, Elon and all of the others they put on TV are also part of the Kayfabe. Acceptable opinion is framed as is acceptable dissent just like Chomsky spoke of.
You said there are still millions, perhaps just thousands who buy into this..
Man... I wish. Apathy polices the populace, and that army is hundreds of millions strong in the US. Billions worldwide.
The battle is over. New strategies must emerge. To be clear, the house of cards is not crumbling.. it is just folding and funneling us into the next phase.

Well said. I'm a big fan of Maher's, but he displays this internal struggle so clearly.
For many, it will be overcome the same way one recognizes all betrayal: slowly, then all at once. We aren't quite to that watershed yet.
I agree. That's the house of cards analogy. Once it begins to crumble, it all then goes. This is why so many are holding on so tightly to lies even when the truth is right in front of them.

Apologies for the length of this...
Damn. That was a brutal read... because I can't disprove that, even if I wanted to. It holds logically.
