ENTER THE STRONGMAN

    So, as the death toll rises in the Gaza Strip on the 44th day of the Civil War, activists on both Left and Right have been engaged in a furious battle of ideals. Nobody's debating actual US policy in the Middle East, however. The debate is about whether Liberals or Conservatives are the real anti-Semites. With the 2024 Spectacle called 'elections' but a year away, it's important to grab control of the 'narrative'---stopping humanitarian disasters, not so much.

   Presidential Elections, like the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards, are carefully scripted and choreographed. The problem that the Oligarchy is facing in 2024 is that none of the leading candidates are generating any enthusiasm even among the exceptionally gullible and easily panicked American public. The Oligarchs certainly don't want the return of the President-in-Exile but none of the Neocon shills that they've planted in the GOP Primaries are gaining any support. Even trying to implicate Trump in obvious politically-motivated trials aren't shaking his support much. 

   The figurehead of the Junta isn't doing especially well either. No matter how hard they try to hide it, the thought of Biden and Harris in actual debates is making them wince and unlike 2020 they can't hide behind the chaos of the Scamdemic. They could, of course, engineer another False Flag; but that might too obvious. In a Managed Democracy like ours, the ruling class finds it expedient to cultivate apathy; but they still have to have a large enough crowd of true believers to create the appearance of a popular mandate.

    

   It is also very dangerous to the Oligarchy to have political figureheads who are perceived as weak. It's noteworthy to observe that the recent so-called Liberal Administrations---Clinton, Obama, and Biden--- have all reacted to such criticisms by lashing out militarily or, in many cases, taking a harsh approach to domestic 'crises.' Once a population begins losing its fear of a totalitarian government, resistance can gather momentum to the point where it can't be controlled. Ordinarily, the Deep State encourages anger and hatred but manages it by directing it by channeling those negative emotions into organized sociopolitical divisions over superficial issues. A perception of weakness can channel that fury against a leadership that is perceived as unable to solve these divisions. 

   That the so-called Elite is becoming concerned about this possibility is that they have been inserting the idea that we as a nation need a strongman into the public discourse. 

   The Democrat faction recently slid into the Corporate Media a commentary by Obama's former top advisor and long-time Chicago Democrat Machine operative, David Axelrod. Axelrod has been encouraging Biden to exit the Presidential race, and the theme among Leftist pundits in general is that Biden---especially among younger voters---as not being forceful enough on the economy, climate change, and social issues. This tendency has been reflected in local elections since the 2020 Putsch, in that the most extreme pro-Abortion and 'woke' Democrat candidates have swept one race after another.

  The rump Republican faction recently trotted out Arnold Schwarzeneggar; the former California Governor who famously let the actual Republican position out of the bag during the Scamdemic by telling us "screw your freedoms" and calling for forced Vaxxes and quarantines. Schwarzeneggar told the Media hacks on Friday that “The bottom line is, I think we need to find new leaders. To me they’re both flawed and I just think we’re at a time now where we need someone strong, where we need visionaries, and not people that tinker around with little Mickey Mouse stuff.”

   Whether the cunning implication of Axelrod or the bluntness of Schwarzeneggar; it's obvious that what the Regime is doing is, to put it in their parlance, they are floating a trial balloon. The ultimate purpose of this is to move the narrative to acceptance of an authoritarian leader. The Corporate Overlords will, of course, control this government, but it's the illusion of a popular mandate for his tyranny that the Corporate Regime hope to achieve. 

    Prior to these bipartisan statements (which coincidentally came out about a week apart from one another), the Open Society Foundation released the results of a poll which showed that Americans under the age of 35 increasingly are rejecting Constitutional self-government and are open to the idea of an authoritarian leader who rules by decree. Not surprisingly, this strongman would be quite woke as the poll indicated that the majority believed that "it is wrong for governments to discriminate against individuals on the basis of appearance, religion, sexual or gender identity. Poverty, inequality and the climate crisis were also cited as being the most pressing issues facing people today." This likely explains to a large degree the GOP's recent shift away from fighting for social issues.

   Admittedly, any poll coming from the Open Society Foundation is automatically suspect; but whether the numbers are faked or not, the purpose of publicizing them is to play upon the susceptibility of Millennials and Zoomers to succumb to the Herd Mentality consensus of their peers and to whatever is settled science. Mark Malloch Brown, a member of the British aristocracy and Soros' hand-picked successor at the OSF, stated that “People around the world still want to believe in democracy but, generation by generation, that faith is fading as doubts grow about its ability to deliver concrete changes to their lives.” This reflects the Narcissism and hedonism that Soros and Brown have diligently worked to sow in our culture. Note that the message here is that Government has 'failed'---not because it serves special interests instead of the interests of the nation---but because it doesn't fulfill personal desires. 

    Obviously a dictatorship can't fulfill everyone's personal desires: this is why they project themselves as "strong and visionary" and make wars on things like empathy. The appeal here is that some will benefit, but that will come at the expense of one's neighbors. Note, for example, that the supposedly compassionate Democrat Establishment is not only encouraging the atrocities in Gaza, they're actively suppressing elements within their own ranks who object to their policies. 

   The last thing that we need in the United States is an American Trudeau, Macron, Zelensky, or Netanyahu. The troubling thing is that all of those characters are admired by various factions in America right now; and it's no accident that these  thugs likewise are fawned over by both the Mainstream and Controlled Opposition Media. Those are the types of leaders that the Corporate Oligarchs want to install in the White House. 

    Consider what all four of those examples have in common, and how these characteristics square with what both Axelrod and Schwarzeneggar think that an ideal candidate should have. All of them are deeply socially liberal. All of them support Corporate Socialism as an economic system. All of them use police and military force to suppress dissent. That is what the proposals advanced under the Great Reset looks like: the general public has their basic needs met and unlimited access to unrestrained hedonism---but there is no economic freedom and large corporations manage the economy. At the same time, the public is under constant surveillance and the authorities are under no accountability. As to 'empathy' the fate of the Canadian truckers, Russians living in Ukraine, and the internees in Gaza speak for themselves. We have to be very vigilant that it doesn't happen here, though given the trajectory we are following at present, it's best to be prepared.
