Intermittent Script check-ins will be part of this sub for the foreseeable future. The original plan was to do one every few weeks or after a significant move to see how the pre-election read was holding up. Part of tracking forward is identifying signs or benchmarks that show if you’re on or off track. Where a lot of predictors go astray is assuming one thing changes while the status quo remains the same. In reality everything is flux, including ourselves. Something that looks certain may not be because of unpredictable combinations of external forces. Milestones avoid that. But three things blew up the timing.
The Script has proven to be a more objective account of events than expected.
The depth of factional rift that it represents is on the radical side.
1 + 2 = things happening faster over a wider spectrum than seemed realistic.
Which all adds up to having to look in more often. Especially since the number of moving parts is confusing the heck out of most of commentators.

Two reasons for someone disinterested in politic to pay attention to this Script business. Neither of which have anything to do with me “being right”. From a socialization perspective, low status projectors often mistake self-respect and disinterest in approval for ego investment. When I’m wrong, I acknowledge it quickly, move to understand where or why I was mistaken, and learn. If The Script veered … off script, these posts would analyze and look for the new accurate pattern. Readers know there’s never been any interest in being a [that one thing guy]. It’s a journey, not a brand. And right now, at this stage of it, these points are significant.
1. This is a change of historical era.
Information technology, geopolitical alignment, socio-economics, whatever The Script is … This level of broad spectrum change is what happens during what hindsight calls “a change in period”. Writing brought empire. The printing press brought Renaissance humanism and the Reformation. TV brought the House of Lies. I think AI is an infotech change on that epochal level. Total socio-cultural transformation in unforeseeable ways. I expect comparable is coming, just on an appropriately accelerated time frame. No idea what, any more than Gutenberg saw modernity around the bend. But it’s coming. I know many here are interested and knowledgeable about history. How could we not want to track something this historical?

2. “Succeeding” on reality-facing terms in Clown World to any degree has always depended on understanding real situational dynamics.
Or ORR. And not just socially. Everywhere. This depends on making materially correct reads. Geopolitics is a lot easier than social ORR in some ways, even with Script speed and misdirection. Social reactions have to happen instantly in real time. Often while maintaining frame, consciously masking microexpressions, and analyzing conversational red flags. Socio-cultural level stuff like The Script includes time to reflect on first impressions. Continual trickles of information that refine or refute hypotheses. Multiple drafts and iterations that keep getting closer to reality.
Good thing, because the real stakes are higher.

The Scriptwriters are trying to get ahead of systemic collapse by managing the transition into what comes next. This doesn’t make them benevolent. Maybe benign or at least better than the 666 planes of Clown Abyss. That’s its own post. For now, add up three things. 1) Iffy techno-luciferian elite agendas. 2) The uncertainties of a new historical era. 3) The social necessity of managing NPCs. Knowing epochal change is coming != knowing how our civilization will be altered. Fortunately, the best prospect in times of order only goes up in value during chaos. ORR. Self & Situational awareness in concert. Understand what’s going on and move accordingly.
What’s important is what is right, not who. Readers have consistently dodged the worst of the Clowns because we work from what is real. You’ve seen through a mazes of evil on-screen mythology, kept your DNA intact during covid, didn’t stand with Ukraine [sparing your future self the obscene guilt of rooting on a seven-figure abattoir], and can follow The Script. A moment of self reflection by any of us proves the House of Lies can be resisted with commitment to reality. To Truth, imperfectly as we see it. Guess who’s most likely to navigate epochal change?

The plan for this post was to refine the autarkic direction of The Script in light of new data. But as is so often the case, the set-up took longer than expected. The geopolitical signaling is big enough to spin into its own post. The rest of this one will follow up a few early observations about Scriptwriter tactics. Masterful handling of CLI and grasp of House of Lies operations shows the preparation. Meanwhile, the new infotech paradigm continues it’s transformation of how governance works. And the overall agenda fleshes out.
First is the OODA-loop busting scale. The barrage of orders settled down, but now the lieutenants are in action. The House of Lies can be extremely powerful, but there are structural limitations. It needs to be able to focus its screens on something long enough to fire up the NPCs. Quick, but not instant. The modern infotainment version of the Alinsky freeze, personalize, isolate. But The Script is too broad and mobile for that. The liars can’t lock in on a single Hitler. The spotlight moves from Trump to Musk to Vance to whoever faster than NPCs can process. And allowing people like Kennedy to work in relative peace.

Broader narrative mastery is visible in the support. It seems like yesterday that the internet was full of foreboding comments about Trump’s aging base. I even described [Trump & Bobby Jr. team up to take on the Deep State] as a [risk of suddenly]-tier boomer narrative apotheosis. But his support has completely flipped. Only the boomers and up view The Script unfavorably. Enemies of the people to the last. With growing support among the diversity putting it in the position of not needing the boomers at all. For the first time in Gen X memory. Sing Hallelujah!
Confirmation is the complete neglect of MSM this time around. The new base doesn’t can’t stand it. The old base self-negated. How to deal with the beast media if you don’t need the boomers? Kill USAID and ignore it’s throes.
Bigger picture, it means the boomer third rails are shut off, if so inclined. Take the sacred Social Security. Trump’s base are the everyone else who sees their unrepentant generational theft as disgusting. And infuriating. No cohort carried the worst, most vacuous planks of the House of Lies like that arrogant ignorant offal. It’s not surprising that a material-reality based shift like The Script would sweep them out along with their nightmare dream world.
Speaking of diversity, the narrative mastery there has been criminally underreported. Consider how big a task swinging the US onto a production footing is. The new infotech paradigm shift with all its unpredictability is just starting. Systemic collapse precludes instant reset, no matter how talented the operators. Golden Age rhetoric is statement of intent, not current events. The Script is trying to manage the transition. Minimizing impacts while declowning government and staying in the narrative frame to keep the NPCs. They’re aware of CLI and NPCs need direction. It’s why I expect they’ll maintain information control and surveillance tools, not dismantle them.
It’s no mystery Clown strategy was based on leveraging diversity against whatever they were calling American culture. [Dems are the real racists] chatter was laughable because it was impotent, not because it was wrong. The entire ideology was incoherent. A rainbow of multiculturalism that’s also an amorphous atavistic blob. It makes sense strategically. NPCs need simple emotional binaries and aren’t phased by logical contradiction. A benefit of fruit fly memory and single thought capacity. Freeze and isolate meets divide and conquer. The Script has … well … flipped the script.
Two examples. Severing the other letters from LGB rips open an internal fault line. The Clown frame sets up an [all of us] vs. [them] binary. Script framing triggers much deeper feelings. [Those of us who are in] vs. [those of us who aren’t]. SJWism is a philosophy of resentment. Social privilege for social outcasts inverts human nature. It’s powerful because the beneficiaries know they’re nothing without the system. But the fakeness makes that a weakness. The same awareness that drives commitment also drives imposter syndrome. The Script transmits that primal fear of rejection right into the safe space.
The constant insistence on legal immigration pits citizens against illegals. This irritates some hard nationalists but makes sense from a [managing epochal transition with what you’ve got] perspective. Clown World polices the reservation with fear, not affection. A lot of immigrants favor the civnat virtues. They’re why they immigrated. A narrative that resonates positively - with some diverse faces on the screens - emotionally in-groups them.1 And blows up another big House of Lies fake binary. While setting the pieces for repatriation if so inclined. Let’s see where it goes.

That’s plenty long. A second part will look at the autarkic direction in particular. I think I can visualize the historic interlocking relations graphically in a way that makes them easy to see. For now, consider that the Scriptwriters have done nothing to counter - or even acknowledge the information control mechanisms of the House of Lies. Not using them malevolently != not keeping them. The big picture looks like the House of Lies with a more reality-facing narrative on the screens.
Script World.
The way the Scriptwriters weaponize outgrouping is a high-status social pattern. Create the exclusivity then leverage the natural human desire to be in. Clown unity works when being in isn’t a possibility. Offer the possibility to some and crabs in a bucket.
Going from infotech to production pulls resources out of vaporware and back to hardware. Takes time because you need minds and not expert systems to enable it. To make computer aided manufacturing (CAM) efficient, the input material should already be sized close to final needs - less waste and recycle. Takes skill to press, forge, or extrude first. Then fine-tune on 6DOF machine tools. Practical engineering needed, maybe apprentices and not book learning only.
“Succeeding” on reality-facing terms in Clown World to any degree has always depended on understanding real situational dynamics....Self & Situational awareness in concert. Understand what’s going on and move accordingly.
100%. Reading things like Behold a Pale Horse and The Secret Destiny of America before graduating high school really did change my social behavior. ORR to the max. A constant veil over my power level, which has had both positive and negative effects.
I've been waiting for this collapse and paradigm shift (The Script) my entire adult life. Very excited.
