Checking in on The Script

Election Thoughts and Some Hindsight Reflection on Narratives Past

ArtBySemir, Ghost Writer, digital art

Don’t usually bother with political topics, but this is a little different. It’s a personal observation that needs some venue to keep track of. And it ties together some read and react type themes from this Substack. Sigma Game frequently reminds readers to focus on what happened or is happening rather than why. For logical reasons. Humans are frequently irrational - doing things without any good reason. The last Band post looks at the inability to even learn in a meaningful way. Decision-making processes and motivations are often impossible to understand. And that’s before considering deliberate lies and misdirection. Or subconscious drives that people themselves are unaware of. What they do on the other hand is objective and observable. Behavior patterns and anomalies are obvious from repetition or lack thereof. The Bible refers to it as judging by the fruits. It’s the only way to assess characters and it gets more accurate the longer you are able to observe.

Worrying about why also highlights a deeper problem with excessive investment in unknowables. One that goes beyond socialization issues or even one specific interrogative. It’s fine to speculate when the stakes are low or non-existent. But when the situations are serious and decisive action is necessary, things that can’t be known are time-wasting distractions. In the simplest terms, if someone or thing is trying to harm you, worrying about why is best saved until after avoiding or terminating the threat. But the same applies to less immediate dangers or opportunities. Obviously hastiness should be avoided, but sometimes possibilities appear that aren’t open-ended. When hesitation kills, as the saying goes. Urgency makes time precious, and ups the value of efficient assessment. Any reaction time spent on unresolvables is wasted. Inefficient.

Consider any aspect of clown world’s demented ideology.

We’re way past the point where materialist reasons for this total rejection of reality are woefully inadequate. Stupid, greedy, or incompetent can’t hope to account for willful evil - atavism and cruelty as their own rewards. But materialists can’t process even the idea of evil. Not without abandoning materialism and rewiring their entire ideological make-up. They’re mutually exclusive.

                                                                                 =  

                                             [Endless spinning over why? Or how?]

Instead of looking at what is actually happening and responding to that. By the fruits. That puts why and how aside for what, replacing spin with directed action.

One thing I’ve been observing for a while is what I call The Script. The overwhelming sense that current mainstream culture and politics are not organic. That they’re being directed in some way to deliver a predetermined outcome. This was something I laid a marker on in a private social media venue some time back. I wrote a post on it here a bit ago, wanting to state it publicly. The tl,dr is that some closing Q narrative beats are playing out, only in a forced, not organic way. And all the high weirdness that has gone on since the “inauguration” makes the unreal show aspect inescapable. The premise then was that the people have to see how bad it will get. They’re too NPC and the enemy too entrenched for an informed change.

Note it’s all narrative level. “The patriots” don’t want a real, off the chain nationalist uprising. Both “sides” are still invested in the illusion that the system is real. Following up the first post, the multiple faction within the House of Lies model seems more likely. Things did circle the bowl, but there was no grassroots cry for Trump. What happened is the infosphere changed enough to snuff the TDS tsunami and pulse the NPCs into MAGA. It’s actually been really interesting in a “so that’s how it happens” way. It’s one thing to see where a pattern goes logically and another to experience it unfold. The sudden repackaging of consummate machine man Musk as free-speech-but-not-really fat Tony Stark master futurist is a great example¹ There’s clearly opposition. But one faction appears to have wrested the wheel from the clown wing.

Allegedly.

The plan is presumably to sweep in, House of Lies intact, and try a civnat reboot. This is preferable in the short term for quality of life and future-proofing. There are X-factors. The clowns are brazenly criminal. Are they sufficiently threatened for kinetic disruption? There are a lot of destabilization assets around the country. Then there are the structural tissues of the House of Lies - financialization, information control, the surveillance state, etc. How deep does factional conflict run? What is really at stake? It should go without saying that I have no idea who or what is driving The Script, let alone how or why. The opening of this post shows how much interest I have in that. It’s just that the inorganic pattern of events - with their loosely Biblical beats - leading to Trump’s inevitable return has looked obvious for a while.

It’s hard to explain The Script since there is no smoking gun that nails it all down. Specific details don’t even matter. Events are following a fixed pattern on the meta-narrative level - that is, regardless of specifics. Biden 6 got pulled last minute for Harris and the fake poll game kicked in. Harris then proceeded to act increasingly unhinged and obnoxious until she couldn’t be propped. She destroyed her own faction’s ability to do what it does. There is no way anyone is that stupid or inept that wants to win. One of countless examples of the script generating something obviously inorganic to advance its plot. Confirmation is if some hated puppets wind up going under the bus for optics and Harris skates into quiet retirement.

The real tell is how The Script has proceeded as if an organic outpouring of Trump really happened. Right on cue, beast gatekeepers have been acknowledging longstanding observations that they built their careers dismissing. Easily explained away case by case. But the fakeness of the mainstream infosphere has been repeatedly demonstrated with the subtlty of an iron spike to the forehead. Any seismic shift in any wing of it is by definition narrative. Spinning over why or how is pointless. Note and adjust.

The most interesting observation for me has been the substanceless preference cascade. Most can’t learn from information and emotionally pulsing them en mass is delicate work. Especially when the mainstream media is stocked with the opposing faction. There were two main components to the strategy. 1) Increasing cartoonishly evil nonsense from “the Dems” crashed through media cover. “The Harris Campaign” systematically hammered emotional hot buttons until it sank its fake polls. 2) Muskian alt-limited hangouts and turned gatekeepers changed the House of Lies narrative structure. And all without any policy substance or actual reality at all. Just a cackling whore promising infinity migrants and an actual pedophile sidekick. The dismay and confusion from the narrative huffers on that side has been informative.

The thing to remember about The Script is that it’s a script. The only uncertainties are externals - the scriptwriters’ level of control and other factions’ capacity for disruptive retaliation. This isn’t knowable to me. The narrative frame is House of Lies reality for most people. The idea of The Script is unthinkable to the FTS-2 types I’ve ran it by. To them, it’s the same thing as a grassroots wave, for all intents and purposes. This means any real major unrest or factional conflict is easily cast as [the latest fake civnattery as “America”] vs. [whatever the enemy is being called now] America vs. globalism or the left. Because the enemy really is a hostile outsider. To the system as well as to the historic nation. On a personal level, there’s a real quantitative difference. Just limit expectations to what the House of Lies + inevitability of systemic collapse can permit.

On the narrative front, Kennedy is an excellent supporting character. He may even oversee a bit of justice. And a Kennedy teaming up with Trump to fight the Deep State is Platonic form-tier boomergasm. It’s all enough to make me reconsider the absurdity of vooting. Pretending a rigged game is real is indoor mittens level sad. But I never considered 70-80+%s. Fifty million or whatever fake papers become logistically impossible. Especially with The Script including busting some fraud this time. So if you do care about the outcome, go vote. Join the tsunami. This isn’t the same game.

Looking ahead, by the fruits.

Start with Trump redux. This confirms The Script theory by taking inorganic events to their counter-narrative conclusion. And by extension, that a different faction is ascendant.

Next is the aftermath. The central question here is how deep the factional split runs. Clown world transitions were entirely superficial. Think Clinton-Bush. If nothing much happens temper expectations. Systemic collapse accelerates, so keep disentangling from the House of Lies.

If the divide is deep enough to hit levels with some degree of real agency, it will also be clear quickly. Significant changes in policy direction, governmental operations, or something else tangible in our lives. Major actions against against a House of Lies pillar like pharma, the war machine, finance, media, tech, etc.² Given how flimsy the fig leaf is over clown malfeasance, they obviously don’t care at all about laws or norms. If actually threatened - not in narrative, but reality - there’s no need for fig leaves anymore. Because they’re not ruling from within anymore. The kinetic potential arises here. Can’t say how that shakes out, other than to note the potential for much greater restructuring. More importantly, it has no impact on my expectation that things fall apart to a systemic degree in the next decade. And the importance of focusing personally and locally. A disruptive aftermath would likely be part of the direct lead up to whatever form the collapse takes.

Postscript, or a few comments on Q. Band readers know I was always agnostic on what the narrative was but recognized it as more truthful than the mainstream. It’s essential for any knd of analysis - even armchair - to be able to pay attention to things without endorsement. In Q’s case, the Biblical open structure of the final narrative was one sign of scripting. Reality doesn’t hew so closely to archetypal plot structures, but FTS-2 lived by them. “You’re the news now” was admission that House of Lies narrative engineering + NPC proved too much to turn. Can’t galvanize those that can’t learn your information. The Script appears to be the FTS-2 version of the same plot. Blunt, emotional pulse driven 50s TV-tier sophistication narrative engineering. Looking back, Q was a communication-motivation-manipulation vector for that faction.

Q appeared after Trump was elected, suggesting the organized faction wasn’t in place, but coalesced quickly. It was obvious grassroots nationalism isn’t what they wanted. Preserving the House of Lies foundations is more important than winning. Now that faction appears to have ascended during the interregnum. Things have gone badly for clown world. Ukraine is more catastrophic than let on for the reasons it can’t be let on. Bretton-Woods system crumbling. Domestic tensions. Q appears to me to be a failed first effort from the faction running The Script. The difference from 2016 campaign Trump is explained chronologically. They formed up after he won. This makes Q “prescient” in the way anyone telling you their plans is. Obviously something similar is intended if thy manage to grab the wheel. What’s interesting is what really comes next. The scriptwriters never covered that.

1. Pedowood doesn’t predict the future. FTS-2 “thinks” in glowing screen. Movies create character types that can later be activated by scripted character association. Speaking the language.

2. Something more significant than pacifying NPCs with a few irrelevant puppet scalps like Fauci. That probably happens even in business as usual scenarios. Media narrative creates mass-triggering characters that have no real impact on the system.
