We're due for a "cooling of the mark" narrative. They pushed too far, too fast, so now they have to regroup, do some limited hangouts, and offer up a scape goat or two to calm the public's righteous anger before proceeding on their original course. That's the general thrust I expect from the narrative architects in the coming months.

I wrote a couple of posts detailing how I expected it to play out in the context of COVID:

Depends on the depth of factional conflict. It may well be shallow like you foresee. Joe sees it as deeper that I’m inclined to. I just don’t know. Curious to see though.

I was a little hesitant to post this without a stronger position, but I needed to get The Script down. That way I can follow up or post morgen if wrong after.

Undoubtedly there are human scriptwriters who believe they can shift the tides of man for good or ill.

How hard a task, when humans are filled with a wild whimsy even as they are called lemmings.

But, like sheep we are, so easily led astray, they too even though they dream of being sculptor of man are sheep.

The infernal has its scripts.

The elements wild from the fall bring forth calamity, breaking plans too.

Of course the strange meme masters of the internet hold a disproportionate power too, setting fires in minds with images of few words, baffling powers that be.

Some of us know however that not only is there the original script writer, but from the beginning the Word was with Him.

So, we should be as the doves and the serpents.

That and fear him only.

Our enemies are real dumb to be playing these games too, good grief the amount of heavy lifting old Sratch must be doing is absurd.

Appreciate the post. Very useful in terms of things people are unable to see but still sense, hence divertability to unknowables and emotional pulses that harness the still-latent energy of the dissonance.

My take is that a growing faction, starting in finance, started realizing there wouldn't be anything to rule over if the current idiots were left in charge. In some cases (vid. Facebook) they would be those idiots' next target. Hence the Thermidor attempt. Which tends to fail, precisely because it doesn't really remove the enemy's core source of capability or legitimacy, just chips at them until it loses. Hans' "cooling off the mark" is thus accurate, and other than Kennedy it matches what I'm seeing for Trump and co. 2 notes:

"There is no way anyone is that stupid or inept that wants to win"

Yeah, there is. Stupid and inept people don't lose the will to win; quite the reverse, usually. Sucks when people let them.

"Pretending a rigged game is real is indoor mittens level sad."

Come to California, and you can find out just how sad indoor mittens are. I recommend Glacier Glove fingerless.

It does appear the Scriptwriters swim in the deep end of the resource and reactive competence pool. Beneath the absurd persona Musk represents an even more absurd resource concentration. His wealth & portfolio are unprecedented. The technology and engineering and bottomless money. Plus Twitter - his information resources are only topped by intelligence. His involvement alone is a total game changer. The satanic Transhumanist agenda is a problem, but consider the alternative…

There is one other possibility, the deep state has been in existence since at least the assassination of Kennedy (if not earlier). The difference between today's and yesterday's leviathan is that the old one was significantly more intelligent. There was a reason that all nations in the Americas (save Bolivia and Cuba) bent the knee to Uncle Sam.

It is possible that the old leviathan is resurfacing from the depths. The implications of this are both good...and bad. Kind of like the sigh of relief you have when corporate decides to fire the DIE supervisor and replace them with the old one. The old one wasn't particularly kind or good to you but they were at least predictable and not batshit insane.

That it. There are too many plausible unresolvables. It’s why my ultimate advice is to seek life outside the House of Lies.

Alas the House of Lies must be navigated for the best outcome (for America as a whole), we must do to the Trotskyites what they have done to us.

Once you can see it is the new Praetorian Guard rasing the emperor on their shields, you stop caring what the Senatorial families are doing.

We are full bread and circus Imperial Rome, without the majesty.

Live accordingly.

I appreciate your position, but voting is the adult version of writing a letter to Santa.

Can’t argue with that. Think of it as cheering for a team in a sports movie. Enough buzz might influence the program director somehow.

That’s all I’ve got.

Was the book Dune an overview of the inter faction house jostling for global Trade Cartel supremacy?

At a base reality level House Atreides and House Harkonnen being symbolic of cognition-information, and Spice being the word-narrative-syntax reality generation?

By the fruits, it is. If the measure of a model is predictive value, a home run read of human social patterns.

Any schema presumes a frame of reference. So the model is applicable to IRL situations. Thinking about it, Dune’s underrated.

What we need is a genuine Butlerian Jihad, and I'm not even joking.

The Logos loves asceticism. Just look at how He has preserved the Amish.

Last I read this blog was maybe 3 years ago. You've improved as a writer / communicator.

Thanks. It’s really just reps. I’m less prolific these days, but I wasn’t a writer at all before and the aggregate word count = experience. It’s also taken a while to figure out a voice. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s consistent for those who enjoy it.
