For the past two decades America has been bombarded by fear, paranoia and vitriol. The Power Elite – tech, media, pharma, healthcare, energy, finance, industrial agriculture and government - account for the majority of wealth and power and have systematically manipulated and divided Americans in order to control and consolidate said power and wealth.
In 2021 this assemblage of power players continues to pull the levers of control with increasing frequency and one of two things is going to happen:
1. The people are going to whip up into such a frenzy that there will be civil unrest / a full scale civil war. We have already seen the beginnings of this in some cities across America.
2. A majority of people will realize that they are being manipulated and controlled, the levers will break, and the people will reclaim their democracy and autonomy.
Make no mistake, the people of the United States of America are no longer in control of their federal government. The people serve the government, the government does not serve the people. This is an important distinction because the genesis of the nation was to reject an all powerful ruling class and monarchy-style rule, but we are back where we began – the Power Elite ruling class rules and exploits while the middle-class dissolves and the lower classes are used for labor and consumption of goods. Just take a look around.
Of course, the preferential option for the vast majority of us is option #2. If rather than allowing ourselves to be told we are divided and instead we came together, we would easily break the levers of control. To be clear, politicians and billionaires are of the same class. “Billionaire” does not only mean financial wealth, but also a wealth of power. When politicians say, ‘Tax the billionaires!’ it is rhetoric to make it appear as though they are working on behalf of the people … or doing anything at all.
In this way, we must first come to understand the game-board on which we are playing and being played. Allowing ourselves to be caught up in intra-class social battles over gender, race, politics, health and other theories serve as nuanced distractions that the ruling class is happy to pour fuel on and let burn. These battles serve as an ideal veil from the universal underlying issue of wealth and class inequality. If we are fighting amongst ourselves in both the physical and digital worlds, we cannot see through the fog of war. How will we unite and move our energy against the structures of the Power Elite if we are engaged in a constant battle of social nuance? The simple answer is that we won’t.
A great majority of us have much more in common than we are encouraged to believe, particularly when it comes to wealth inequality, and while we all see and feel it, we are distracted. Remove the veil and it becomes clear:
We are living in a class system that is solely weighted in favor of wealth and power.
“The people” – us – have slowly ceded more and more power and privacy over time to the Power Elite in exchange for perceived safety.
The USA today is theoretically not much different than 15th century England with its lords and serfs, it just appears different and offers more distraction. To quote John Steinbeck, “The seeing point in time is a warping lens.” Instead of working fields, we work plugged into a digital web that consumes our attention and feeds us information 24/7.
The Power Elite have realized that fear events (9/11, stock market crashes, COVID, et al) induce society to cede its individual freedoms and privacy in exchange for the perception of safety. The same Power Elite via the World Economic Forum (WEF) recently simulated a cyber pandemic in an event called Cyber Polygon 2021 (In October 2019 the WEF simulated Event 201, a health pandemic. That simulation has been deemed prophetic…). Imagine what humanity would be willing to give up if the Internet went down.
What we see at present is an America that is being nakedly manipulated - crippled by an obsession with safety and trapped in a mass psychosis of fear.
Back to option #2, we must shed this fear and regain control of our democracy as a unified people. This is not about tearing society and the system down, it is about reuniting the two. We must see beyond the distractions and understand the levers of control and how they are being used against us. It is not complicated, but we have to focus, and once focused, it is plain to see that we are living in a tightly constructed classist system controlled by the Power Elite.
Again, it is vital to understand that this Power Elite - tech, media, pharma, healthcare, energy, finance, industrial agriculture and government - account for the majority of wealth and power in America (and the world) and are naturally working to strengthen, guard and assert mechanisms of control. The preferred option of this group of course is option #1 because it would cement the ability to declare multiple emergencies, foment widespread, crippling fear and declare endless laws and regulations.
If the people attack each other, the only winners are those in power. We lose, they win and technocracy will rule a forthcoming dark age.
The only option is option #2.
More soon…
