The world's permanent military, intelligence, and diplomatic bureaucracies ("deep states") together with their perception managers in the Mainstream Media and the education system are hiding a very dark reality from everyone that's much more nefarious than what the Wizard of Oz hid from Dorothy.

The "Deep State"

Nothing is ever as it seems, especially when it comes to the modern world in which everyone lives. "There Are No Democracies Or Autocracies, Only Governments", I wrote last week, and they're all comprised of permanent military, intelligence, and diplomatic bureaucracies, or "deep states", which handle matters largely considered (whether rightly or wrongly) to be beyond the responsibility of the average citizen. This power structure is allied with influential perception managers in the Mainstream Media and the education system in order to hide a very dark reality from everyone that's much more nefarious than what the Wizard of Oz hid from Dorothy. Supporters might say that "it's better this way" since "society needs to be controlled" whereas critics claim that this is highly manipulative and against people's fundamental human rights. Whichever side of the divide one falls on, there's no denying that the real world is much worse than the average person thought.

"Bread & Circuses"

All people across the world are strongly encouraged by their governments to go about their daily lives and behave as economically productive and socially responsible citizens. To this end, they're distracted with "bread and circuses" by being kept above the minimum subsistence level at the very least and pressured to focus more on their personal pursuit of happiness than everyone else's. The exception of course are those who show a sincere interest in how the world works and are considered by the so-called "powers that be" as "ideologically reliable" after years of relevant indoctrination in the higher education system. This elite category of citizens learns how the world really operates after getting to peek behind the curtain ahead of actually getting to play a direct role of some sort in managing this secret state of affairs. Sometimes average people learn about the truth on their own or through whistleblowers, but it mostly remains obscured.

Information Warfare

The system upholds itself by obsessively discrediting those intrepid enough to research its inner workings and publicly share their findings as so-called "conspiracy theorists", "foreign agents", or whatever else. That's not to say that there's no such thing as factually unsubstantiated speculation that can legitimately be described as a conspiracy theory or that foreign powers aren't infiltrating society through actual agents and even those of so-called "influence" (the latter of which may not even be conscious of the role that they're playing), but just to point out the techniques used to discredit those who occasionally break through the "deep state's" informational firewall in order to enlighten the masses about what's really going on. In fact, different countries' media outlets are presently waging an intense information war against one another's target audiences in order to convince them that their own "deep states" are lying to them, which adds a hybrid dimension to all of this.

The New Cold War

Behind the "glitz and glamour" of the "everyday life" that most people have been misled by the "deep state" and its perception management allies into believing is "real", the world has actually been in the midst of a New Cold War since long before its seemingly official commencement in 2014 following the US' simultaneous attempt to more openly "contain" Russia and China in Eastern Europe (Ukraine) and Southeast Asia (the South China Sea). This is also taking place against the backdrop of profound civilizational changes in the information-communication, military technology, economic-industrial, and healthcare fields that will fundamentally revolutionize life as everyone knows it. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic (regardless of whether one believes it's real, fake, or exaggerated) ushered in a new era whereby "deep states" across the world are now actively working to indoctrinate everyone into accepting this "new normal" that was already a long time coming.

The Truth About US-Chinese Relations

For starters, the post-Old Cold War system of American-led unipolarity was structurally unsustainable as proven by historical precedent. It ended a lot sooner than its most passionate supporters expected due to the US' inadvertent subsidization of China's unprecedented historic rise as a result of its leaders' self-interested economic motives that are nowadays dishonestly dismissed as so-called "misplaced optimism" over that country's supposedly "inevitable liberalization" via trade with time. Although some elements of the US' "deep state" consistently sought to subvert and ultimately destroy China as they'd attempted to do since the 1989 Tienanmen Square Color Revolution, they failed to succeed both because of their target's structural resilience and the lack of support from America' economic and political elite that had an interest in indefinitely profiting from China's astronomical rise.

Reinterpreting Russia's Role

As for Russia, it was never the "anti-Western Phoenix" that both its top foreign supporters and detractors alike portrayed it as for different reasons, but always sought to incorporate itself into the larger Western-led world, albeit in a manner that preserved as much of its sovereignty as possible. This was unacceptable for the West which demanded full submission, especially to the diktats of hyper-liberalism in both the economic and social senses, which prompted President Putin to proudly resist these efforts while nevertheless always keeping his country's olive branch extended. Russia simply wanted to carve out its own comfortable niche in the US' "New World Order"instead of reattempting to following in its predecessor state's revolutionary footsteps by pioneering an entirely new one. The public friction between the US' unipolar demands and Russia's multipolar vision was responsible for the world finally beginning to realize that a New Cold War was afoot by 2007-2008.

Great Power Competition

Trump's much-hyped "trade war" with China was really just him trying to revert back to "the good 'ole days" of the pre-globalizatiion era, though of course modified a bit to accommodate for some of the irreversible processes that had since unfolded across the world in the decades since the US-Chinese detente of the late 1970s changed the very nature of the global economy. He also more confidently popularized the notion of the New Cold War by openly embracing Great Power competition, which never actually went away since the end of the Old Cold War but the illusion thereof was simply a masterful means for managing the perceptions of the global population by getting them to focus less on international affairs and more on the plethora of "bread and circuses" that were produced since 1991. Trump's vision also aligned with the irreversible trend of multipolarity, accelerated as it was by the US' own missteps of the prior decades, which "normalized" the New Cold War.

The Military-Industrial Complex

Amidst all of this, and even arguably preceding it for quite some time, the Great Powers (first and foremost among them the US, China, Russia) were already intensely competing in multiple domains, with only the economic one emphasized in the public sphere (and even that wasn't widely recognized until Trump's presidency). Militarily, all of them continued to develop new weapons systems, including missile defense shields, hypersonic missiles to pierce the former, drones, and space weapons. Their military-industrial complexes have been working on such munitions for a long time already, and the rare instances in which the public accidentally caught sight of them were conveniently described as so-called "UFO sightings" in order to distract the masses from what was really going on. Everyone was aware of this arms race during the Old Cold War, but it became taboo to talk about after 1991, though that's recently changing since it's becoming impossible to deny.

The Information-Communication Industry

The other trend that took place during these decades was in the information-communication industry. The global spread of the internet gave certain countries like the US a strategic edge, especially in intelligence collection, though that's now being challenged by China's cutting-edge technological developments and its much more affordable competitive products. The controversial concept of 5G is just the latest stage of this game. It basically functions as the means for managing the "Internet of Things" (IoT), which will further enhance its pioneers' strategic edge. Although there are reportedly serious health risks associated with it, the nature of the New Cold War is such that no actor can afford to delay this technology's development out of fear of irredeemably falling behind its "peer competitors". The hullabaloo about Huawei and other Chinese tech companies is simply a public cover for justifying the US' power moves against its top technological competitor.

The "Fourth Industrial Revolution"/"Great Reset"

The IoT will facilitate the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" (4IR), which will totally transform mankind's economic-industrial relations considering the increased dependence on autonomous systems. This project was already proceeding apace prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the virus (again, whether or not one believes it's real, fake, or exaggerated) served as the pretext to accelerate its rollout across the world in the most dramatic way possible via what's now widely regarded as the "Great Reset" (GR). The resultant outcome will necessitate greater state intervention in the economy in order to subsidize the newly unemployed masses, which will resemble a comparatively more "socialist" system, even if only imperfectly/superficially Some might even describe the state-corporate partnerships that emerge from them as being more akin to "economic fascism", which hints at a worldwide competition between "socialist" and "fascist" systems in the future.

COVID-19 Vaccines

Regardless of the semantics that one uses, there's also no denying that mankind itself might be somewhat genetically different in this dark future than it presently is as a result of the experimental gene therapies that are being pushed upon hundreds of millions of people under the pretext of serving as vaccines against COVID-19. There are high hopes that mRNA technology might truly achieve miracles like curing cancer if responsibly utilized, but such technology requires many more years of testing before it has a credible chance of changing the world for the better with the lowest amount of risk possible The COVID-19 pandemic has been exploited by Big Pharma in order to test these treatments in real-time on the largest number of people in order to accelerate this technology's development considering the competitive context of the New Cold War. The West was already far ahead in this field, hence why most of its vaccines are mRNA ones unlike the non-West's.

"Collateral Damage"

It can't be known for sure, but Big Pharma (and presumably also its "deep state" backers) probably only sought to experiment on hundreds of millions of people in such a deceptive way because they sincerely thought (whether rightly or wrongly) that the consequences are minimal and that the "collateral damage" can therefore be "manageable". They might truly believe that any long-term health problems that these experimental gene therapies contentiously marketed as vaccines might cause could in theory be treatable within the next decade following the quantum leap that this technology might make by then as a result of this ongoing real-life mass testing. This line of thinking presupposes that the symptoms of such speculative problems might not occur until the next decade, which is of course a risky bet to make and arguably unethical if that's the case since those being experimented on "in the name of the greater good" might not be aware of it and thus didn't consent.

Genetic Engineering

To expand a bit more on the topic of vaccines, it's questionable whether the mRNA COVID-19 ones even present a viable solution to the pandemic (again, whether or not one believes that it's real, fake, or exaggerated). After all, COVID-19 no longer exists in its "pure" form after having evolved countless times into new strains which might be impossible to perfectly vaccinate against anyhow. This means that the experimental gene therapies that many people have already taken might actually be redundant, ergo the need for more vaccines to supposedly counter forthcoming strains, which in turn actually leads to more real-life testing for Big Pharma to accelerate the perfection of this technology ahead of its foreign competitors. Once that happens, genetic engineering could even lead to "super soldiers" and human-animal hybrids ("chimeras").

The "Green" ("Depopulation") Agenda

The other dark reality hidden from the public eye by the "deep state's" perception management operations pertains to the speculative campaign of "depopulation". There's no denying that there are some influential forces who are in favor of this for ideological ("green") and "pragmatic" ("overpopulation") reasons (especially in the context of the unfolding 4IR/GR), but it's unclear whether the ongoing mass vaccination of hundreds of millions of people with experimental mRNA gene therapies is part of this, at least directly. While nobody knows for sure what the affect will be on fertility, it can reasonably be discounted that these treatments are meant to kill off many people in the near future. After all, despite the 4IR/GR, the "deep state" still requires a tax base and some human labor to build the "new economy's" machines. Considering the fact that so many younger people have already been vaccinated, it's unrealistic that they'd kill off their most promising labor pool.

Trump Spills The Beans

In any case, the global public must become aware of the so-called "green agenda", which is also part and parcel of the earlier mentioned trend towards comparatively more "socialist"/"fascist" economic systems. The climate is changing regardless of whatever one attributes this to, be it mankind and/or natural cycles, but every "deep state" has an inherent interest in exploiting this to enhance its power over the population. That's not to say that every member thereof is doing so for "evil purposes" since many might sincerely believe that it's for the "greater good" however they rationalize it, but this dynamic is undeniable. Former US President Trump did a lot to popularize awareness of this and some of the other trends that were earlier discussed, which he did on his own prerogative but in a way which greatly upset most of the world's "deep states", including his own. This explains the universal revulsion that they had for him.

QAnon & "5D Chess" Canard

In their minds, Trump wasn't supposed to "spill the beans" about the way that the world really works since he wasn't supposed to have been elected in the first place. The "deep state" made sure by hook or by crook that he wouldn't win a second term and thus stand a greater chance of reforming some of their forthcoming governance plans in the context of the "4IR/GR" ("socialism"/"fascism"). Furthermore, they feared that he could inspire the most passionate members of the population to peacefully exercise their political rights through rallies and the like in an attempt to meaningfully change the situation, even if only by publicly showing how popular his envisioned future was among the masses. The response to this "threat" was the QAnon movement which sought to preemptively neutralize these forces by capturing their minds through the manipulative narrative constructive of "5D chess", which is just a coping mechanism for dealing with reality.

The Hybrid War Of Terror On America

That said, the reality is that Trump was basically "a king without a country" since the most powerful elements of his "deep state" continued to oppose him at every twist and turn, thereby sabotaging his envisioned policies. Instead of peacefully rallying in his support when he needed it most, his top supporters were brainwashed into thinking that "he had it all under control" and that every objectively existing setback was really just a "masterful 5D chess move". By surrendering the streets, they facilitated the kinetic phase of the "deep state's" decades-long Hybrid War of Terror on America via Antifa and "Black Lives Matter" (BLM), which paved the way for the dystopian hellhole that Biden's presently presiding over as that same "deep state's" puppet. The only "storm" that ever arrived was the "deep state's" on election day. The successful anti-Trump regime change sequence led to the "swamp" finally swallowing him and Biden's "Cyber Stasi" suppressing most subsequent digital dissent.

Social Media Censorship

The digital dimension is so important too because it's the only realistic "commons" in which meaningful opposition to these trends can be organized, but it's now almost entirely under the "deep state's" control with few exceptions (like Russia's VK). The pretext for seizing control over this domain was to stop any repeat of the 6 January events as well as reduce the chances of actual foreign meddling in the US' domestic processes via Hybrid War means. About the latter, this threat veritably exists but not to the extent that the "deep state" claimed. It's already done the exact same to countless other countries and much more effectively than they could ever do to the US, but the "deep state" fears the introduction and proliferation of "politically inconvenient" narratives into the American political conversation, hence the need to so aggressively censor social media. To be fair, other countries are implementing similar policies for the same security-centric reasons.

People=Pawns?

What most folks don't realize is that they're really just pawns in a global game between competing "socialist"/"fascist" "deep states" as part of the New Cold War. Their individual views don't matter so long as they keep them to themselves, but they become "troublesome" once they're shared with others and might eventually influence a larger change in socio-economic and/or especially political behavior (e.g. voting patterns, provoking protests, etc.). It's one thing to "know the truth" as one understands it to be (whether realized on one's own and/or due to the influence of whatever they come across on the Internet, including that which is shared with them by foreign parties, be it state or civilian), and another entirely to actually act upon it in a peaceful way within the legal limits of their respective constitutions, many of which at least in the West superficially respect the right to the freedoms of speech and assembly.

Reality Check

In fact, this very analysis will probably only at most make "fellow travelers" feel like they're not alone or "crazy" as opposed to having any meaningful effect on shaping the course of events. Be that as it may, everyone deserves to learn how the world really operates, even if only to be at peace with how powerless they might actually be if that's what makes them feel a bit better. Others might be inspired to share this insight with others in the hopes that enough people can eventually come together to peacefully express their constitutionally enshrined rights in a last-ditch attempt to at least slow down the implementation of the "4IR/GR". This is especially so with respect to raising awareness of the speculative risks associated with volunteering oneself to be a guinea pig for "deep state"-backed Big Pharma's massive gene therapy experiment designed to give their government a strategic edge in the New Cold War at the arguable expense of their citizens' human rights.

Welcome To World War C

The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in what can be described as WorldWarC, or the full-spectrum paradigm-changing processes catalyzed by the world's uncoordinated attempt to contain the virus (again, whether or not one believes that it's real, fake, or exaggerated). All preexisting trends are now being accelerated and compressed, including the geopolitical, military, economic-industrial, information-communication, healthcare (genetic engineering), governmental ("socialist/"fascist"), and "green" ("depopulation") ones. This means that everyone is truly living in an unprecedented era of history whereby literally everything about life as they know it will be completely different within a decade. The very nature of international, economic, civil-state, and even human-to-human relations is transforming at a record pace, with folks either choosing to remain asleep like the "deep state" wants or wake up and peacefully try to stop them if it's even at all still possible to do so.
