Understanding The Covert War On The American People
Part 1 – ESG, Financial Consolidation and the Sunsetting of Citizen-Centered Government
American citizens are currently living through the most terrifying and unprecedented time in their nation's history, though most will not know it, believe it or otherwise be able to fathom just how dangerous the times are. The power elite of the nation are watching closely, though, as are the elite of the world.
Why so many Americans do not know what is happening may be the most important question of our time. Understanding the reason is crucial to understanding everything else. The answer is that American’s media corporations, those responsible for reporting the news, are silent on matters of the gravest importance to American civic participation. Their silence is strategic and self-interested, and it is the root cause for why the American body politic cannot coalesce its opinion and correct its political and societal dysfunction. There is hope for the people, however. The media’s silence has become so deafeningly loud now that it calls attention to itself as independent media speak in its stead. Corporate media is under great pressure because of this, but it cannot report candidly or honestly. It cannot and it will not. It is bound to important agreements that it has committed to (to be described later).
It is a historical fact, warned of by past presidents, that within the American nation's power structure there is a powerful, amorphous business-political machine that operates outside of the people's will. In its modern form, this machine is comprised of multiple factions each with their own particular interests. They advance their interests with strategy and by triangulation, somewhat like one would contribute in moving a planchette around an ouija board. The dominant forces get closer to their common goals.
This machine has long had a home in both political parties. It has a sort of "meta" or "umbrella" party in the halls of government that represents the interests of wealth, business and power. It cares little about the needs of ordinary Americans. Its existence explains why older Americans say that nothing changes with elections or new presidential administrations.
In the past, this "uniparty", as it is being called, has contented itself with tapping into the U.S. treasury for its projects, particularly those projects involving war, war technologies, black budget research projects and covert operations. After many years of drawing down American wealth, the machine appears ready for a next step.
In recent years this machine has been rapidly and systematically dismantling and repurposing the institutions that American citizens rely on for the proper functioning of their society. It signaled its belief that it now controls sufficient technological capability to quietly dispense with American’s constitutional democratic processes. Some may guffaw at the thought of America being taken over in this way, but it makes good business sense. With so much concentrated wealth, power and knowledge, a machine representing a fascistic fusion of government and business could come to see election cycles and democratic processes as messy, unpredictable and expensive, and thus a needless distraction from its plans. (Such a “consolidation” has been attempted before, as Marine Corp General Smedley Butler could have attested to.)
Corporate behemoths now control everything an American would need to live. They have gained “a lock” on markets related to food, energy, medicine and communications. There is nowhere else that 350 million Americans can go to buy what they need. The only market share left for corporations to strive for is that which is already held by other massive corporations, and it appears that a sort of stasis has been reached between them. Given that growth is no longer possible in the U.S., American corporations are eyeing the mostly untapped markets of China. It is a nation whose communist dictator welcomes American business so long as his demands are met. President Xi is focused on building his empire using American wealth, talent and intellectual property, acquired legally through corporate knowledge transfers and through industrial espionage.
Sunsetting Citizen-Led Government
To most Americans, corporate business growth is not the foremost national priority. The ordinary people see themselves as the priority, and they expect corporations to be their allies – begrudging but loyal organizations that meet their human needs and fairly make a few dollars in the process. Corporate CEOs, on the other hand, see their primary responsibility - not to the people, per se - but to their stockholders and the powerful investment funds that hold those stocks. This union of interlocking interests is a facet of the considerable power and influence the machine wields over the American people, but it is the investment fund managers who now have the greatest influence. These titans of finance have risen to become the key to the machine’s consolidation of power over government, business and society in general. They control trillions of dollars in assets, and they are now coralling American society through the imposition of a strategic secular “morality” on business and the people.
Through their invented rules of ESG and DEI, corporations can be accepted into, or be shut out of, participation in the fund manager’s great financial network. The wealth of these investment groups gives them the clout to direct American business and society in ways that completely bypass the will of American business and the people. In a sense, they are inverting the business-customer relationship.
In the past, businesses would be sensitive to their customer’s sentiments for fear of losing market share, and this mostly restrained them from being overtly abusive. Now, corporations are made to feel obligated to building up their “ESG Scores” to remain “connected” in the investment fund manager’s network. This obligation requires them to accept, promulgate and enforce the fund manager’s secular morality on their employees and their customers. The appropriate “boxes” must be “checked”.
The “morality” is essentially a specious synthesis of Western egalitarian sentiments and lofty globalist aspirations. When described in ordinary conversation, the goals mimic popular inclinations towards liberty, stewardship and human dignity. In practice, they have proven to be the mockery and dissolution of the same.
Corporations that embrace ESG and DEI, and display its imagery, receive cheerful and celebratory encouragement from the machine’s media corporations, while ordinary Americans are left to wonder why their trusted brands are self-destructing in the most absurd ways imaginable.
If the transfer of power from citizen to business were to complete through ESG, the net result would be that customers and employees must bow to the corporations they depend on in the same way that corporations are now bowing to the fund managers. The inversion of power would thus be complete. (Those who are doubtful that business can be used as tools of social control only have to recall how they were denied entry into a businesses for not wearing a mask.)
There are similar plans for the ordinary American to be made accountable to the machine. In China, “Social Credit Scores” are assigned to their citizens’ behavior and used to grant or deny ordinary privileges, somewhat like how credit rating services track worthiness in the United States. A similar system will be attempted in the U.S. but it would likely be introduced for some unrelated purpose. Once the technical infrastructure is in place and tested, it can then serve as the foundation for a full compliance and control system. As in China, any behavior done in frustration can be logged and used to exclude a person from interacting with society in some specific way. Purchases, travel and telecommunications can all be restricted. Americans thus having lost control of their government must surrender and be continually compliant to survive.
A Very Slow “Collapse”
The consolidation of power over the nation is an effort that spans decades. The gradual dilution and corruption of democratic processes was expected to appear to ordinary Americans as a natural consequence of their own incompetence.
If the machine were to write the history of today, it would likely say that the American people had grown too fat, too sick, too lazy, too entitled, too uneducated and too self-absorbed to properly care for their republic. The machine's media would run documentaries explaining how empires of the past came to predictable ends due to the decay of their societies. The machine would write this history, but many living today know that this does not explain most of what has happened or is happening.
Americans are waking to find themselves in a strange world. They see that their nation is struggling. It has not fallen down but it is being made to fall apart. Those who have been awake and watchful for a decade or more may recognize what they see as sabotage. None of the radical social innovations that have been imposed on them can be explained as normal societal evolution. It is as if the decadence of ancient Rome was being imposed on them by force. Social and constitutional conservatives, ignored for decades for supposedly "crying wolf", may feel vindicated, but there is no consolation for Cassandras. They may take solace in knowing that they were right: the wolves really were there, all along, trying to topple society, by corrupting its culture and politics, for power and for money. It is only more noticeable now that it has accelerated.
In recognition of the sabotage, citizens’ movements sprang up to challenge the machine's incursions into the most sacred facets of society: family, spirituality and liberty. Most believed that they were defending against rogue local political activism. They quickly learned that they were wrong.
In response to their resistance, the machine exposed its fangs. From its highest pulpit, it used slanderous and divisive rhetoric to poison the public image of these citizens’ groups. The most hateful accusations were cast on parents who are concerned that their children are being used to normalize cult-like thinking and adult sexual fetishes. Children are the tools of every totalitarian machine.
Americans are waking to find themselves in the midst of an unwanted revolution, and a build-up to a silent coup against their republic. Many now realize that they are the targets of demomachy by psychological warfare. It would seem that the battlefield is their mind and the prize is their nation and their soul.
Americans might look out at the debris field of their society. In light of the machine’s determination, they might rightly wonder what led to the fatness, sickness, laziness, anger and ignorance that has inexplicably manifested in their society. Are these just “character flaws” that have suddenly manifested, or could they also somehow be part of some sabotage? What explains the explosion in obesity, autism, diabetes, mental illness, and the rapid decline in male fertility? Why have there been no investigations into the sexual confusion afflicting children? Why is there instead a gross desire to condition them for adult sexual interests?
Why are parent’s innate inclinations to protect their children being characterized as a threat to the state?
The machine once had the implicit trust of Americans. Americans now recognize the strange, counter-societal behaviors of their public institutions and their trust in government has diminished. The machine nevertheless demands that it be trusted and it publicly characterizes anything less as cause for concern and suspicion. It is unlikely that the machine can gain back the trust it lost, though. Freedom of Speech has encouraged a critical mass of Americans to question everything, even some of their own closely-held beliefs.
Public awareness has negatively impacted the machine's media partners the most. The media are responsible for preparing the machine’s carefully-crafted stories. Now, their narratives must compete with independent and contemporaneous reporting. At stake is their credibility.
Many Americans can see national and global events in real time and without filters. This has resulted in the media's gradual silencing as events move too quickly for it to prepare “proper” explanations that are both plausible and durable. Americans now openly discuss, dissect and ridicule the machine's actions and its media’s stories.
The new media is gaining the people’s trust. It is a highly decentralized and “crowd sourced” effort that focuses on primary sources, court records, eyewitness testimony, first-hand accounts and recordings of events captured and shared by professional and citizen journalists. People are able to discuss and decide for themselves the meaning and importance of what they see.
The machine was late in recognizing the need for "disinformation boards" to censor independent public inquiry and discussion. When officials announced their intent to build out these censorship functions, they likewise became a topic of national discussion. Public awareness, in turn, triggered investigative hearings and lawsuits in defense of freedom of speech. American opinion successfully coalesced nationally and a threat against public discourse by the Federal government was thwarted.
Being Peaceful During a Time of Terrorism
The machine has not been deterred by Americans’ resistance and neither will it allow society to revert to its harmony, unity or health. On the contrary, the machine continues to churn society. It persists in using Marxist oppressor-oppressed rhetoric as a psychological tool of manipulation, pressure and guilt.
Americans have been wise to remain peaceful. In spite of prodding, provocation and insult, people have remained calm and focused. The machine, unable now to characterize its opponents as dangerous and violent, instead signals its resoluteness. It presses forward and very hard as if it can conjure a new “reality” for Americans to acclimate to. It tried using threatening rhetoric and threatening rhetoric and dark imagery to instill a foreboding in its dissenters. The attempt, though, was recognized as the belligerence of a bully.
World history teaches that groups can be targeted, marginalized and terrorized by their government. It will not be easy to do this in the United States, the most diverse nation on Earth. Through good times and bad, the American people have lived together and have a good understanding of who they are, in spite of the demeaning characterizations of manipulative politicos.
Division, though, it the machine’s only recourse. It demonizes resistant groups it thinks are vulnerable to official threats. Specifically, it has worked to send spies into American's churches looking for "terrorists". It investigated parents for being upset with their school boards. It arrested and prosecuted Christians for engaging in lawful and orderly protests. It created "threat tags” for parents, in spite of the media’s denials. It also forced agents to fictiously increase the number of "terror threats" it was working on. According to congressional testimony, it was done to falsely justify its escalation against dissenting opinion.
Totalitarians demand that people be accountable to them. It is therefore telling that it chose to target parents and Christians. Both groups are anchored in what they believe is inviolable, and would thus be the most likely to resist authoritarian meddling. These groups may be vulnerable to possible targeting by rogue law enforcement. Court records reveal how unethical federal agents have looked for and targeted troubled members within target groups. This is true of both those on the left and the right. It would be prudent to suspect that a desperate parent or church-goer might be provoked and lured into some discrediting act by unprincipled careerists desirous of incrementing “terrorism” counts and receiving the recognition and praise of their bosses.
Things Aren’t Going As Planned for the Machine
Beginning in the mid-1970s, civics lessons were replaced with “social studies” in American class rooms. Youth were not taught how to recognize and resist the destruction of their democratic republic. In their benign ignorance, they have done what every other Western citizen does: they trusted the momentum of society and the direction of their institutions.
Give the extraordinary revelations of the past decade, many have taken to educating themselves on history, philosophy, economics and religion - topics once considered boring or irrelevant. Few things stir the soul like seeing that a historical warning in full resonance with an event happening today. Having learned history for themselves, Americans thus feel more authoritative in their opinions and more vested in the outcome.
Americans’ awareness of the bureaucratic machine is at an unprecedented high. Many now understand that manipulation does occur. If it is true that the power elite have reduced their democratic republic and elections to being managed “puppet shows”, Americans are now determined to learn the extent of the corruption and restore their democracy to full authenticity. This will be unacceptable to the machine, but too much has been learned for its fictions to go on unchallenged.
The machine now claws for the legitimacy and justification it needs for yet deeper interventions into society, apparently not realizing it has lost ground. Under the guise of national security, it still tries to mine society for “white supremacy” and other supposed social “crimes”. It does so to justify the turning inward of the nation’s powerful surveillance, propaganda and control systems. But now, its public agonizing over “domestic terrorism”, “safety” and “justice” appear overwrought and manipulative. The crumbling of American society no longer looks "organic". Both are being recognized for what they are, sabotage, and this unwanted realization is a key cause of concern to the machine.
It is not only the people who are seeking and questioning. The matter also has the attention of Congress.
