As an intermezzo between the political grandstanding and online hysteria over the impending release of muh Epstein Files, the Uniparty decided to stage a new attention-diverting gimmick while they figure out how to manage the upcoming public Epstein 'debates.' Likely that will be the usual combination of mutual finger-pointing, accusations by both sides of cover-ups, and---most importantly of all from the American public's perspective---a chance to project a lot of lurid speculation on each other of sexual escapades that they subconsciously wish that they could have done themselves.
Meanwhile, the new manufactured controversy, which will blow over as soon as the files are released (or the Thanksgiving NFL spectacles and 420-store holiday specials happen, whichever comes first), the Democrat Wing of the Uniparty released a video rather hypocritically reminding American Security Forces that they had a duty to disobey illegal orders. This was met by the White House Troll Factory with a series of Social Media posts denouncing the Democrats in the video as traitors and implying that they be executed.
If this wasn't a wholly manufactured controversy (and we still had a functioning independent Media), the Democrats would have been laughed at instead of threatened. By their own admission, all six of the Senators and Congressmen in the video are "former CIA and Military" and presumably carried out illegal orders on a regular basis themselves. The Democrats certainly had no problem with their own Presidents engaging in unconstitutional military actions such as Clinton's interventions in Yugoslavia, or Obama's actions in Ukraine, Syria, the South China Sea, and unilateral airstrikes everywhere else. The Democrats also didn't put up much resistance as the Bush Family expanded militarization into domestic issues; in fact they themselves encouraged military purges of 'undesirables', floated the idea of internment camps for the Unvaxxed, and freely used the National Guard to enforce Scamdemic restrictions. They also looked the other way at Republican abuses such as happened during Hurricane Katrina in 2004 or the Guard's use in the wholly illegal usurpation of Immigration Enforcement by Greg Abbot during the Biden/Harris term.
The reaction from the White House was just as fake; in fact, it's part of a Marketing/Propaganda technique. One wing of the Uniparty will float a wholly outrageous statement like the one cited above, knowing that it will generate controversy. The whole idea here is to monitor (and manage) the public response. The purpose in this case is to get the idea of jailing elected officials on the arbitrary will of an authoritarian Executive Branch into the public consciousness as though it were a debatable issue. It shouldn't be debatable at all: but this is how Madison Avenue shylocks move Public Opinion into accepting New Normals which, in a healthy society, would be relegated to the fringes.
Sadly, though, today the Fringe-Groups are the ones actually running things, and the Marketing experts, the paid pundits and 'influencers' and the propagandists are only all too willing to sell to the highest bidder.
Walter Lippmann, one of the earlier proponents of a Government by Technocratic Elites, outlined a blueprint for how Postmodern Journalism and Politicians should shape Public Opinion in such a society. "What the Public does." he wrote, "is not to express its opinions but to align itself for or against for or against a proposal. If we accept that theory, then we must abandon the notion that democratic government can be the direct expression of the the Will of the People. We must abandon the notion that the people govern. Instead, we must adopt the theory that, by their occasional mobilization as a majority, people support or oppose the individuals who actually govern. We must say that the Popular Will does not direct continuously, but that it intervenes occasionally." This theory is accepted today, of course, and forms much of the basis of Inverted Totalitarianism, which is now, under the guidance of the sort of Technocratic Elites envisioned by the likes of Lippmann, entering into its Accelerationist Phase towards the Great Reset.
To guard ourselves against such things, we should be aware of how Public Opinion is manipulated and that controlling the Narrative is only the new form of deceiving the masses. That goes for manufactured controversies, such as we're seeing now, which only serve as distractions so that the would-be Elites can operate without any scrutiny.
