“A really
efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive
of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves
who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.” ― Aldous
Huxley, Brave New World
“Every
record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has
been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date
has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by
minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which
the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984
Huxley and Orwell were contemporaries. Huxley’s
dystopian masterpiece was published in 1932 at the outset of the rise of
totalitarianism, while Orwell’s was published in 1949 after 65 million people
perished in a World War and Stalin had already murdered tens of millions of his
own citizens. Those were dark times. They also coincided with Edward Bernays
1928 publication of Propaganda, in which he revealed the existence of an
invisible government who used propaganda to manipulate the minds of the public
to insure those controlling the levers of power were able to engineer their
desired outcomes.
Debate has
raged over the decades whether Huxley’s or Orwell’s dystopian vision of the
future would be more accurate. Both visions required the successful use of
propaganda by those in power to achieve their agendas. Huxley wrote a letter to
Orwell after reading 1984 in 1949, shortly before Orwell’s death. His conclusion was as follows:
“Within the next generation I believe that the world’s
rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more
efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the
lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into
loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other
words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to
modulate into the nightmare o f a world having more resemblance to that which I
imagined in Brave New World. The change will be brought about as a result of a
felt need for increased efficiency. Meanwhile, of course, there may be a
large-scale biological and atomic war—in which case we shall have nightmares of
other and scarcely imaginable kinds.”
I would assess Huxley’s vision was more accurate
in the West, but Orwell’s was more accurate in regards to Russia, China, and
numerous dictatorships in South America and Africa. The key word
is “was”. Since 9/11, the United States has unequivocally moved in the
direction of Orwell’s 1984 vision. We are now experiencing a dystopian
amalgamation of the worst of both novels. Virtually every conspiracy theory
ridiculed by the corporate controlled media pundits, captured academics, and
government apparatchiks over the last few decades have proven to be accurate
and true.
But very
few are able to discern the truth because The Party/Invisible Government/Deep
State has been hugely successful in utilizing propaganda and public education
indoctrination to dumb down and manipulate the minds of the masses into
believing whatever they are told by their masters. The complete success of this
mass psychological conditioning has been on display for the last four months,
as the majority have come to love their enslavement and servitude based upon
the inept and hysterical misinformation propagated by medical “experts”,
government bureaucrats, corrupt politicians, and the fake news media complex.
Huxley’s
infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis were close, as public education has not
been about learning critical thinking skills for decades, but indoctrination to
what the government desires, producing non-questioning workers who can be
easily manipulated through propaganda into obedience and conformity. The
pervasive use of Ritalin to make boys act more like girls has been heavily
pushed by the educational complex (dominated by women), attempting to produce
zombies who don’t cause trouble or act like boys should.
The
feminization of males has contributed greatly to the downward spiral of our
society. Huxley did foresee technology being used to distract the masses,
producing a trivial culture, egotism, pleasure seeking and passivity. The boob
tube, internet, and social media have fulfilled this prophecy, producing
generations of pliable, easily controlled victims, whose minds have been molded
and ideas formed by those pulling the strings of our society behind the scenes.
The willingness of tens of millions to unquestioningly
believe what they have been told by their leaders and supposed medical
“experts” regarding a virus which will not kill 99.97% of the American
population is a fascinating exploration of herd mentality and the power of fear
propaganda. This nasty virus, supposedly let loose from a Wuhan bio-lab, is
less deadly than the annual flu among those under 65 years old and more deadly
when purposefully introduced into nursing homes by politicians.
The virus
has less negative impact on school age children than the annual flu. But
governors, mayors and teachers’ unions are refusing to open schools in the
Fall, despite the data and actual experience in European schools proving it is
safe to do so. The path of history during 2020 has not been natural or
propelled by normal un-manipulated circumstances. The manner in which events
have transpired seems staged, well planned, and designed for a purpose not yet
revealed to the masses.
The year
started with fears of war with Iran after the assassination of a key general in
Iraq. The three-year Trump coup by Obama, Clinton and their co-conspirators in
the FBI, CIA and Congress was once again collapsing under the weight of lies,
fake news, and blind hatred, as Schiff’s impeachment farce crashed and burned.
It was Trump’s turn to go on the offensive, as Barr and Durham investigated the
coup.
Meanwhile,
the gears of the financial system had been seizing up since the middle of 2019
and the Fed was propping up its Wall Street owners, hedge funds, and the
billionaire class with “not” QE, while publicly lying that all was well. The
Fed was desperately trying to keep the wheels from falling off. The QE, as
planned, was pumped into the stock market, driving prices to all-time highs in
February, showing all the signs of a blow-off top.
This was when the eleventh year of this Fourth
Turning really began to get interesting. It was almost as if the Federal
Reserve needed a disaster catalyst as a reason to unleash a torrent of easy
money to save their Wall Street benefactors, their corporate crony parasites,
and the billionaire oligarchs who constitute the invisible government pulling
the wires controlling the nation.
Just in
the nick of time the Chinese coronavirus conveniently spread across the globe,
dutiful government funded scientists produced models predicting millions of
deaths in the U.S., medical “experts” at the behest of Bill Gates convinced
Trump to shut down the country based on apocalyptic forecasts, and the stock
market plummeted 32% in a matter of weeks. This was the cover Powell and his
money printing minions needed to bailout bankers and billionaires with
trillions in newly fabricated digital greenbacks.
It is
funny the 2009/2010 swine flu pandemic was estimated by the CDC and WHO to have
infected 700 million to 1.4 billion people and killed between 150,000 and
575,000, but there were no shutdowns of businesses, no lockdowns of cities and
states, no mandatory mask wearing, no school closures, and no deviation from
our normal lives. A critical thinking individual might question why no mass
panic and fear mongering by the media during the Obama administration pandemic,
but hysteria and terror spread by medical “experts”, the left-wing corporate
media, the Hollywood elite, and Democrat politicians during this similar scale
virus outbreak.
The
purposeful destruction of our economy over a bad flu couldn’t be for political
purposes. Could it? Has the old “never let a crisis go to waste” mantra been
put to good use once again by the left? Those in control of the messaging have
panicked the nation and created a 2nd Great Depression over a
flu that will not kill 99.97% of the American population. They have been so effective with
their panic propaganda a recent poll found Americans believe 9% of the
population (30 million people) have died from Covid-19. The stupid, it burns.
I no longer believe in coincidences. The fake
news media would classify me as a conspiracy theorist because I question this
plandemic, the coordinated and suspiciously funded BLM protests/riots, and the
extraordinary transfer of trillions from the public coffers into the pockets of
bankers and billionaires. It’s as if a curtain of disbelief has descended upon
a nation of actors, all playing a part in this tragic comedy. Shakespeare would
be amazed by the plot of this play.
The level
of pretending has reached levels that would have been incomprehensible at the
outset of this century, when the annual budget was essentially balanced and the
Fed’s balance sheet was just over $500 billion. Today we are running a $4
trillion budget deficit and the Fed’s balance sheet is $7 trillion, with
Powell, Trump, CNBC, Wall Street, Congress and Robinhood traders pretending
this is normal and nothing to be concerned about. Best time to buy stocks. It’s
a new paradigm.
The government pretends only 18 million Americans are
unemployed when 118 million working age Americans are not working. The
government has been sending $600 per week to unemployed Americans, borrowed
from future generations, so they will spend it today and make it appear like
the economy is recovering. Small businesses pretend they are not bankrupt by
pretending to pay employees with money borrowed from the government that they
will not pay back, also borrowed from future generations. The Federal Reserve
and their Wall Street owners pretend the three trillion increase in the Fed
balance sheet was to help Main Street, when it was nothing but another transfer
of public wealth to the oligarchs before they pull the plug on this farce of a
financial system.
Homeowners
and renters pretend to pay their mortgages and rent to banks and landlords.
Landlords pretend to pay their mortgages with the pretend rent payments.
Consumers pretend to pay their credit card bills and auto loan payments to
financial institutions. Young college graduates pretend to make their student
loan payments. Wall Street banks and local financial institutions pretend they
got paid because the Fed has their back and will print the country back to
prosperity.
Who needs
to honor their obligations when the Fed is in control? Why do we need to pay
taxes, if $4 trillion deficits aren’t a problem? This game of extend and
pretend can only last for a short time frame. The avalanche of consumer,
commercial, and corporate defaults poised to wipe out this financially
engineered pretend recovery is greater than anything witnessed in human
history. And the masses are willfully ignorant, because they have been trained
to believe in the all-powerful Fed. The surge in precious metals prices and the
rapidly declining dollar tells a different story.
I can’t
help but visualize our country as Wile E. Coyote hovering in mid-air after
going off the cliff, about to plunge into the gully below, and then the anvil
lands on his head. The events taking place, the actions of politicians, the
blatant disregard for the best interests of the working class by the Powell and
his Fed cronies, and the disgraceful display of mis-truths and misinformation
spread by the media mouthpieces on behalf of their financial masters, has
created a surreal spectacle of impending catastrophe.
I find myself asking whether I’m the one that’s
crazy. I have trouble processing what I’m witnessing on a daily basis
because the insanity of what is being done is incomprehensible for someone who
believes in prudently managing their finances, obeying the law, valuing free
speech, allowing free markets to determine winners and losers, having interest
rates determined based on risk, and having the freedom and liberty to determine
my future based upon my own efforts and initiative.
The part that has me most puzzled, because it
seems inconceivable that politicians running large states and major cities
would purposefully destroy their economies and businesses while encouraging the
looting and burning of their communities, is this is all being done to defeat
Trump in November. The economic and physical destruction wrought by the national
lockdown for a bad flu and now this engineered race war is inexplicable, unless
the true motive is still being hidden by the Deep State/Invisible Government
oligarchs who are pulling the levers of this concocted scenario to introduce
their new world order, based upon Marxist/Fascist principles and socialized
economic policies.
It appears to be a controlled demolition with a
nefarious purpose, which won’t be revealed until it is too late. And the
majority, just trying to make a living, raise a family, live according to a
social contract that worked for centuries, and find some enjoyment during their
short time on this earth, are allowing themselves to be led to slaughter by
incomprehensibly evil men seeking unlimited wealth, power and control over
everyone on the planet.
In Part Two of this article I will
attempt to decipher the true motives of the ruling elite and estimate a
timeline for this crisis to play out.
