Is Trump the perfect distraction?
Some will celebrate the election. Some will lament it. But all the world's a stage, so don't forget to peer behind the curtain to see exactly what's happening.
It will come as no surprise that a swath of Americans are melting down after Tuesday’s election results. Conversely, many are jubilant that the incoming administration is the real ‘hope and change’ for which we’ve all been patiently waiting.
The actual question is whether America is on the cusp of a new era, as is being touted by those who stand to gain tremendously, or, as is so often the cynic’s stance, just a different version of the same dystopian future — this time with a new color scheme, a new symbol, a new hairdo, and less ice cream?
This isn’t just another political gyration. The stakes are higher, and the potential outcomes grimmer. Only the passage of time, and a keen eye, will help us decide if we’re witnessing the next season of the political reality show skillfully scripted to keep us entranced while the more pressing (unaddressed) issues fester.
A recent tweet by @e_galv encapsulated it with perfect irony. She describes Trump not as the extreme villain or ultimate hero, but as a “consuming, charismatic actor” who creates the perfect distraction on both sides of the aisle. Republicans cling to Trump as a bulwark against globalist influence, while Democrats view him as the new Hitler. What a convenient way to divert public attention away from the deeper agenda at play.
(The Brits used to call this ‘divide and conquer.’)
Do you really think the technocrats and policy-makers won’t continue to advance their agendas behind the scenes? Knowingly or unknowingly, Trump provides them perfect reality show hysterics as cover.
As e_galv notes, the incoming administration could very neatly address the critical issues that American voters want solved by bringing in Trojan horse “solutions” that are really just more intrusive technologies and surveillance.
“They will ‘end the Fed’... and replace it with CBDC.”
The proposal to replace the Federal Reserve or decentralize monetary power sounds, at first, like a win for American independence. But replacing the Fed with a central bank digital currency means giving even more control to a centralized entity, as a digital currency can be monitored and restricted with ease. Far from empowering citizens, this move could usher in unprecedented financial oversight.
“They will ‘control the borders’... with biometric surveillance.”
“Tough on immigration” policies are often popular, especially among the right. However, promises to control the border through advanced biometric systems could become a surveillance nightmare, allowing the government to track all individuals across the whole country, not just entrants at the border. Such measures rarely remain contained within their initial context.
“They will implement a ‘voter ID’... that will become your digital ID.”
While voter ID requirements are promoted as ways to secure elections, these could easily morph into all-encompassing digital IDs. Once a digital ID infrastructure is established, it can be used for various purposes beyond voting, such as monitoring purchases, tracking online behavior, or even managing health data.
“They will present ‘The Everything App’... that will manage your social credit score.”
Elon Musk’s app will be able to do it all — banking, communication, shopping, and social networking. Sounds convenient, right? Yep - very convenient for the authorities who will use it to enforce a social credit score system, where personal freedoms are determined by digital behavior and “scores.”
The fear is that, by focusing on high-drama politics, Americans are missing these seismic shifts happening under their noses.
In fact, what we are seeing in Washington is the public normalization of what Mussolini wanted all along — the coziest of relationships between government and industry, each enjoying mutual benefit and the delicious spoils of power and control. Our new efficiency tsar — Mr. Musk — is now perfectly positioned to enjoy the spoils of his long-standing symbiotic relationship with government. Think of the assets — Starlink, SpaceX, Tesla, X — they’re all poised to help transform the way Americans live and operate in the world.
Will it be a world you’re ready for? And, if we can reference a meme from a simpler time, from a man with a simpler understanding of the world:
Maybe Trump is a distraction and maybe globalists and the parasite class are still vying for control using tech and AI, but something changed that is a step in the right direction. Enough people woke up enough to elect someone who, through Kennedy and others could start bringing in transparency and accountability. The media, the corrupt agencies, "whole departments", censored, slandered, impeded and tried everything they could to prevent Trump/Kennedy from gaining power and yet somehow failed. They are scrambling now, as the narrative has obviously shifted and they've been caught defending lies and scandals. It just got a lot harder for the bad guys to gain our trust and trick us into submission.
Prior to this election I had been a 3rd party voter for 20 years. This time I voted the DJT-RFKJr Unity Party-as-3rd-party. I reasoned that there is long term value in the potential future element of betrayal because a potential 2024 Trump betrayal would all the same raise Class Consciousness long term, just like 2016 Trump has permanently raised Class Consciousness (with concepts like “deep state,” “build the wall,” “America first [the American workers first].”
The sociopathic Ruling Class hate Trump for having raised Class Consciousness (i.e. labor vs. capital, the ruled vs. their rulers).
Your four points are valid. I share these same fears. I gave my 3rd party vote to Trump (not to the RINO party, not to the Uniparty, but to the Trump-RFKJr Unity Party) fully expecting traditional capitalistic exploitation of labor but hoping our nation has averted (for the time being) Komrade Kamala’s, communistic exploitation of labor (neofeudalism/ Great Reset/ New World Order).
Communists do not raise Class Consciousness - but sometimes populist capitalists do. It’s risky - and our sociopathic Ruling Class is risk averse. Risk vs. Reward is for us Little People. The sociopathic Ruling Class don’t take risks in business; they make the rules to ensure their profits. Their house of cards depends upon us workin’ stiffs not thinking too much.
I voted Trump because he makes the people **think**. And if the people come someday to feel betrayed by 2024 Trump, then they’ll be doing even more of their own thinking. So, whether betrayal or “promises made, promises kept,” Class Consciousness will rise. Politics is moving away from the 20th century propagandistic Mass Media left-right paradigm to the 99% vs. the 1%, which is a prerequisite for fundamental change (per 1st Industrial Revolution political idealism).
