Figure One: Just stop a few of their machines and radios
and telephones and lawn mowers… throw them into darkness
for a few hours and then you just sit back and watch the
pattern.
Figure Two: And this pattern is always the same?
Figure One: With few variations. They pick the most
dangerous enemy they can find… and it's themselves.
And
all we need do is sit back… and watch… and let them
destroy themselves.
"The
Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," Twilight Zone
Will 2024 be the year the Deep State's exercise in controlled
chaos finally gives way to an apocalyptic dismantling of our
constitutional republic, or what's left of it...?
All the signs seem to point in this direction.
For years now, the government has been pushing us to the brink of a
national nervous breakdown...
This breakdown, triggered by,
-
polarizing circus politics
-
media-fed mass hysteria
-
militarization and militainment (the
selling of war and violence as entertainment)
-
a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness
in the face of growing corruption
-
the government's alienation from its
populace
-
an economy that has much of the
population struggling to get by,
...has manifested itself in the polarized,
manipulated mayhem, madness and tyranny that is life in the American
police state today.
Why is
the Deep State engineering this
societal madness?
What's in it for the government?
What is playing out before us is a chilling
lesson in social engineering that keeps the populace fixated
on circus politics and conveniently timed spectacles, distracted
from focusing too closely on the government's power grabs, and
incapable of standing united in defense of our freedoms.
It's not conspiratorial.
It's a power play...!
Rod Serling, the creator of the
Twilight Zone, understood the dynamics behind this power play.
In the Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple
Street," Serling imagined a world in which
The Powers-That-Be carry out a
social experiment to see,
how long it would take before the members of
a small American neighborhood, frightened by a sudden loss of
electric power and caught up in fears of the unknown, will
transform into an irrational mob and turn on each other...
It doesn't take long at all.
Likewise, in Netflix's apocalyptic thriller
Leave the World Behind (produced by
Barack and
Michelle Obama's
studio), unexplained crises lead to a technological blackout that
leaves the populace disconnected, disoriented, isolated, suspicious,
and under attack from mysterious ailments and each other.
As one of Leave the World's characters
speculates, the culprit behind the escalating catastrophes, which
range from WiFi outages and mysterious health ailments to cities
under siege from rogue forces, may be the result of a military
campaign intended to destabilize a nation by forcing people to turn
against each other.
It's really not so far-flung a scenario when you
consider some of the many ways the government already has the
ability to manufacture crises in order to sow fear, fuel hysteria,
destabilize the nation and institute martial law.
The government has the tools and the
know-how to manufacture health crises.
Long before COVID-19 locked down the nation,
the U.S. government was
creating lethal viruses and unleashing them on an
unsuspecting public.
The government has the tools and the
know-how to manufacture civil unrest and political upheaval.
Since the days of J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI
has been
using agent provocateurs to infiltrate activist groups in
order to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit and otherwise
neutralize" them.
The government has the tools and the
know-how to manufacture economic instability.
As the
national debt continues to rise upwards of $34 trillion,
with little attempt by federal agencies to curtail spending, it
stands as the single-most pressing threat to the economy.
The government has the tools and the
know-how to manufacture environmental disasters.
Deployed in 1947,
Project Cirrus, an early precursor to
HAARP, the
government's weather-altering agency, attempted to disable a
hurricane as it was moving out to sea.
Instead of weakening the storm, however,
the government steered it straight into Georgia, resulting
in millions of dollars in damaged properties.
The government has the tools and the
know-how to manufacture communications blackouts.
Internet and cell phone kill switches enable
the government to shut down communications at a moment's notice.
It's a practice that
has been used before in the U.S.
In 2005, cell service was disabled in four
major New York tunnels (reportedly to avert potential bomb
detonations via cell phone).
In 2009, those attending President Obama's
inauguration had their cell signals blocked (again, same
rationale).
And in 2011, San Francisco commuters had
their cell phone signals shut down (this time, to thwart any
possible protests over a police shooting of a homeless man).
The government has the tools and the
know-how to manufacture terrorist attacks.
Indeed, the FBI has
a pattern and practice of entrapment that involves targeting
vulnerable individuals, feeding them with the propaganda,
know-how and weapons intended to turn them into terrorists, and
then arresting them as part of an elaborately orchestrated
counterterrorism sting.
The government has the tools and the
know-how to manufacture propaganda aimed at mind control and
psychological warfare.
Not long ago, the Pentagon was compelled to
order a sweeping review of clandestine U.S. psychological
warfare operations (psy ops) conducted through social media
platforms.
The investigation came in response to reports
suggesting that
the U.S. military had been creating bogus personas with
AI-generated profile pictures and fictitious media sites
on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to manipulate social
media users.
Of the many weapons in the government's vast
arsenal, psychological warfare (or psy ops) can take many forms:
In fact, the CIA spent nearly $20 million on its
MKULTRA program, reportedly as
a means of
programming people to carry out
assassinations and, to a lesser degree,
inducing anxieties and erasing memories, before it was
supposedly shut down.
We must never forget that,
the government no
longer exists to serve its people, protect their liberties and
ensure their happiness...
Rather, "we the people" are the unfortunate
victims of the diabolical machinations of a make-works program
carried out on an epic scale whose only purpose is to keep The
Powers-That-Be permanently (and profitably) employed.
This is how tyranny rises and freedom falls...
Almost every tyranny being perpetrated by the
U.S. government against the citizenry - purportedly to keep us safe
and the nation secure - has come about,
as a result of some threat
manufactured in one way or another by our own government...
Think about it:
In almost every instance, the U.S. government has
in its typical Machiavellian fashion,
sown the seeds of terror
domestically and internationally in order to expand its own
totalitarian powers.
Consider that this very same government has taken
every bit of technology sold to us as being in our best interests -
GPS devices, surveillance, nonlethal weapons, etc. - and used it
against us, to track, trap and control us.
Are you getting the picture yet?
The U.S. government isn't protecting us from
threats to our freedoms.
The U.S. government is creating the threats
to our freedoms.
It's telling that in
Leave the World Behind,
before disaster strikes, the main characters - on their way to a
family vacation - are utterly oblivious, connected to their
electronic devices and
insulated from each other and the world around them.
Adding to the disconnect, the family's teen
daughter, Rose, is fixated on binge-watching episodes of Friends,
even as the world falls apart around them.
As TV critic Jen Chaney
explains,
the sitcom's
presence in the story "underlines
how human beings crave escapism at the expense of embracing the
actual present, a different way of ‘leaving the world behind.'"
We're in a similar escapist bubble, suffering
from a "crisis
of the now," which keeps us distracted, deluded, amused, and
insulated from reality.
Professor Jacques Ellul studied this
phenomenon of,
-
overwhelming news
-
short memories
-
the use of
propaganda,
...to advance hidden agendas.
"One thought drives away another; old facts
are chased by new ones," wrote Ellul.
"Under these conditions there can be no
thought. And, in fact, modern man does not think about current
problems; he feels them.
He reacts, but he does not understand them
any more than he takes responsibility for them.
He is even less
capable of spotting any inconsistency between successive facts;
man's capacity to forget is unlimited.
This is one of the most important and useful
points for the propagandists, who can always be sure that a
particular propaganda theme, statement, or event will be
forgotten within a few weeks."
Yet in addition to being,
...we are also being polarized by political theater, which
aims to keep us divided and at war with each other.
This is the underlying cautionary tale of
Leave the World Behind and "The Monsters Are Due on Maple
Street":
we are being manipulated by forces beyond our control.
A popular meme circulating a while back described
it this way:
"If you catch 100 red fire ants as well as
100 large black ants, and put them in a jar, at first, nothing
will happen.
However, if you violently shake the jar and
dump them back on the ground the ants will fight until they
eventually kill each other.
The thing is,
the red ants think the black
ants are the enemy and vice versa, when in reality, the real
enemy is the person who shook the jar.
This is exactly what's
happening in society today.
The real question we need to be asking
ourselves is who's shaking the jar... and why...?"
As I make clear in my book
Battlefield America - The War on the American People
and in its fictional counterpart
The Erik Blair Diaries,
the government has never
stopped shaking the jar...!
