Determine One: Simply cease a couple of of their machines and radios and telephones and garden mowers…throw them into darkness for a couple of hours and you then simply sit again and watch the sample.
Determine Two: And this sample is all the time the identical?
Determine One: With few variations. They decide probably the most harmful enemy they will discover…and it’s themselves. And all we want do is sit again…and watch…and allow them to destroy themselves. — “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Road,” Twilight Zone
Will 2024 be the 12 months the Deep State’s train in managed chaos lastly offers strategy to an apocalyptic dismantling of our constitutional republic, or what’s left of it?
All of the indicators appear to level on this path.
For years now, the federal government has been pushing us to the brink of a nationwide nervous breakdown.
This breakdown—triggered by polarizing circus politics, media-fed mass hysteria, militarization and militainment (the promoting of warfare and violence as leisure), a way of hopelessness and powerlessness within the face of rising corruption, the federal government’s alienation from its populace, and an financial system that has a lot of the inhabitants struggling to get by—has manifested itself within the polarized, manipulated mayhem, insanity and tyranny that’s life within the American police state as we speak.
Why is the Deep State engineering this societal insanity? What’s in it for the federal government?
What’s taking part in out earlier than us is a chilling lesson in social engineering that retains the populace fixated on circus politics and conveniently timed spectacles, distracted from focusing too carefully on the federal government’s energy grabs, and incapable of standing united in protection of our freedoms.
It’s not conspiratorial.
It’s an influence play.
Rod Serling, the creator of the Twilight Zone, understood the dynamics behind this energy play.
Within the Twilight Zone episode, “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Road,” Serling imagined a world wherein the powers-that-be perform a social experiment to see how lengthy it will take earlier than the members of a small American neighborhood, frightened by a sudden lack of electrical energy and caught up in fears of the unknown, will rework into an irrational mob and activate one another.
It doesn’t take lengthy in any respect.
Likewise, in Netflix’s apocalyptic thriller Go away the World Behind (produced by Barack and Michelle Obama’s studio), unexplained crises result in a technological blackout that leaves the populace disconnected, disoriented, remoted, suspicious, and underneath assault from mysterious illnesses and one another.
As one in all Go away the World’s characters speculates, the perpetrator behind the escalating catastrophes, which vary from WiFi outages and mysterious well being illnesses to cities underneath siege from rogue forces, could also be the results of a army marketing campaign meant to destabilize a nation by forcing folks to show in opposition to one another.
It’s actually not so far-flung a situation when you think about a number of the some ways the federal government already has the power to fabricate crises in an effort to sow worry, gasoline hysteria, destabilize the nation and institute martial legislation.
The federal government has the instruments and the know-how to fabricate well being crises. Lengthy earlier than COVID-19 locked down the nation, the U.S. authorities was creating deadly viruses and unleashing them on an unsuspecting public.
The federal government has the instruments and the know-how to fabricate civil unrest and political upheaval.For the reason that days of J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI has been utilizing agent provocateurs to infiltrate activist teams in an effort to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit and in any other case neutralize” them.
The federal government has the instruments and the know-how to fabricate financial instability. Because the nationwide debt continues to rise upwards of $34 trillion, with little try by federal companies to curtail spending, it stands because the single-most urgent menace to the financial system.
The federal government has the instruments and the know-how to fabricate environmental disasters. Deployed in 1947, Undertaking Cirrus, an early precursor to HAARP, the federal government’s weather-altering company, tried to disable a hurricane because it was shifting out to sea. As an alternative of weakening the storm, nevertheless, the federal government steered it straight into Georgia, leading to hundreds of thousands of {dollars} in broken properties.
The federal government has the instruments and the know-how to fabricate communications blackouts. Web and mobile phone kill switches allow the federal government to close down communications at a second’s discover. It’s a apply that has been used earlier than within the U.S. In 2005, cell service was disabled in 4 main New York tunnels (reportedly to avert potential bomb detonations through mobile phone). In 2009, these attending President Obama’s inauguration had their cell alerts blocked (once more, similar rationale). And in 2011, San Francisco commuters had their mobile phone alerts shut down (this time, to thwart any doable protests over a police capturing of a homeless man).
The federal government has the instruments and the know-how to fabricate terrorist assaults. Certainly, the FBI has a sample and apply of entrapment that entails concentrating on susceptible people, feeding them with the propaganda, know-how and weapons meant to show them into terrorists, after which arresting them as a part of an elaborately orchestrated counterterrorism sting.
The federal government has the instruments and the know-how to fabricate propaganda aimed toward thoughts management and psychological warfare. Not way back, the Pentagon was compelled to order a sweeping evaluate of clandestine U.S. psychological warfare operations (psy ops) carried out by way of social media platforms. The investigation got here in response to experiences suggesting that the U.S. army had been creating bogus personas with AI-generated profile footage and fictitious media websites on Fb, Twitter and Instagram in an effort to manipulate social media customers. Of the various weapons within the authorities’s huge arsenal, psychological warfare (or psy ops) can take many kinds: thoughts management experiments, behavioral nudging, propaganda. Actually, the CIA spent practically $20 million on its MKULTRA program, reportedly as a method of programming folks to hold out assassinations and, to a lesser diploma, inducing anxieties and erasing reminiscences, earlier than it was supposedly shut down.
We should always remember that the federal government now not exists to serve its folks, shield their liberties and guarantee their happiness.
Quite, “we the folks” are the unlucky victims of the diabolical machinations of a make-works program carried out on an epic scale whose solely objective is to maintain the powers-that-be completely (and profitably) employed.
That is how tyranny rises and freedom falls.
Nearly each tyranny being perpetrated by the U.S. authorities in opposition to the citizenry—purportedly to maintain us protected and the nation safe—has come about because of some menace manufactured in a method or one other by our personal authorities.
Give it some thought: Cyberwarfare. Terrorism. Bio-chemical assaults. The nuclear arms race. Surveillance. The drug wars. Home extremism. The COVID-19 pandemic.
In nearly each occasion, the U.S. authorities has in its typical Machiavellian vogue sown the seeds of terror domestically and internationally in an effort to develop its personal totalitarian powers.
Take into account that this exact same authorities has taken each little bit of expertise bought to us as being in our greatest pursuits—GPS gadgets, surveillance, nonlethal weapons, and so on.—and used it in opposition to us, to trace, lure and management us.
Are you getting the image but?
The U.S. authorities isn’t defending us from threats to our freedoms.The U.S. authorities is creating the threats to our freedoms.
It’s telling that in Go away the World Behind, earlier than catastrophe strikes, the principle characters—on their strategy to a household trip—are totally oblivious, related to their digital gadgets and insulated from one another and the world round them. Including to the disconnect, the household’s teen daughter, Rose, is fixated on binge-watching episodes of Mates, even because the world falls aside round them. As TV critic Jen Chaney explains, the sitcom’s presence within the story “underlines how human beings crave escapism on the expense of embracing the precise current, a special approach of ‘leaving the world behind.’”
We’re in an analogous escapist bubble, affected by a “disaster of the now,” which retains us distracted, deluded, amused, and insulated from actuality.
Professor Jacques Ellul studied this phenomenon of overwhelming information, quick reminiscences and using propaganda to advance hidden agendas. “One thought drives away one other; previous info are chased by new ones,” wrote Ellul.
“Beneath these situations there might be no thought. And, in reality, fashionable man doesn’t take into consideration present issues; he feels them. He reacts, however he doesn’t perceive them any greater than he takes duty for them. He’s even much less able to recognizing any inconsistency between successive info; man’s capability to overlook is limitless. This is likely one of the most essential and helpful factors for the propagandists, who can all the time make sure that a specific propaganda theme, assertion, or occasion will probably be forgotten inside a couple of weeks.”
But along with being distracted by our digital gadgets and diverted by bread-and-circus leisure spectacles, we’re additionally being polarized by political theater, which goals to maintain us divided and at warfare with one another.
That is the underlying cautionary story of Go away the World Behind and “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Road”: we’re being manipulated by forces past our management.
A preferred meme circulating some time again described it this manner:
“When you catch 100 purple fireplace ants in addition to 100 massive black ants, and put them in a jar, at first, nothing will occur. Nonetheless, when you violently shake the jar and dump them again on the bottom the ants will battle till they finally kill one another. The factor is, the purple ants suppose the black ants are the enemy and vice versa, when in actuality, the actual enemy is the one that shook the jar. That is precisely what’s taking place in society as we speak. Liberal vs. Conservative. Black vs. White. Professional Masks vs. Anti Masks. The actual query we should be asking ourselves is who’s shaking the jar … and why?”
As I clarify in my e book Battlefield America: The Battle on the American Individuals and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, the federal government has by no means stopped shaking the jar.
