Trump unveils plan to 'dismantle the deep state'

Winternights3 Gorland Blormph is a reality show actor and "vaccine" promoter.

I'm glad he's still on the stage however, since the undead white-trash father of a snow blower has been less entertaining than the decaying piece of wood in my backyard, and certainly less healthy for nearly every aspect of our lives.

Lemuel Gulliver Yeah...Like when JFK said: '"I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the wind." that didn't work out well for him ...

Donald saying: "I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone's campaign like they spied on my campaign,"

...

Has a similar ring to it...Maybe things will turn out different this time?

TBoris

Maybe things will turn out different this time?

Maybe, but don't hold your breath. Maybe, too, human nature will change all of a sudden, but after 10,000 years of history, I would not count on that either. It is what it is - a few noble souls, angels in human form, sacrificing their lives for the good of the undeserving, fearful, greedy, lazy, unthinking, stupid masses. Perhaps there will be a cosmic catastrophe, or a nuclear war, and the survivors will re-think the purposes of human life, but absent that, I don't see any change coming soon.

Lemuel Gulliver I'm with you. Nothing is going to change. There will always be a few outliers as you say but it will never be enough to matter.

"It has always happened that tyrants, in order to strengthen their power, have made every effort to train their people not only in obedience and servility toward themselves, but also in adoration. Liberty is the natural condition of the people. Servitude, however, is fostered when people are raised in subjection. People are trained to adore rulers.

It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement.

While freedom is forgotten by many there are always some who will never submit."

The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude, Étienne de La Boétie, 1552.

Notice the date this book was written.

Maxx Paine Hi brother, thanks for your reply. I know the little book. One of my favorites. His thesis is simple: There is a pyramid of power around every tyrant, composed of greedy, fearful men (or women,) seeking their own survival and advantage. The pyramid descends down in ever-widening circles to the petty official in the village, all of them jealous of their position and privilege. Human nature as I said - it is how one little man can exert his will on a nation of millions. Look at Stalin and Mao - and today, Klaus Schwab - nothing changes, from 1552 until now.

Another good one is by Gustave Le Bon in 1895, " The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind ," [Link] maybe the earliest study of what Matthias Desmet recently called " Mass Formation Psychosis ."

"A crowd is not merely impulsive and mobile. Like a savage, it is not prepared to admit that anything can come between its desire and the realisation of its desire. It is the less capable of understanding such an intervention, in consequence of the feeling of irresistible power given it by its numerical strength. The notion of impossibility disappears for the individual in a crowd. An isolated individual knows well enough that alone he cannot set fire to a palace or loot a shop, and should he be tempted to do so, he will easily resist the temptation. Making part of a crowd, he is conscious of the power given him by number, and it is sufficient to suggest to him ideas of murder or pillage for him to yield immediately to temptation. An unexpected obstacle will be destroyed with frenzied rage."

Some more of his thoughts:

“In politics, things matter less than their names. Disguising the most absurd theories under well-chosen words is often enough to get them accepted.” [...] “Overthrowing tyranny does not mean creating freedom.” [...] “The danger of autocracy does not lie so much in the autocrat himself as in the thousands of individuals sharing his power and each exercising it like a little despot.” [Link]

I love the thinking of these great writers!

Lemuel Gulliver Thanks for the link. I'm not familiar with that. Looks interesting.

Maxx Paine Adolf Hitler studied Gustave Le Bon, and understood how to rouse his audience to passionate emotions. He knew that crowds are irrational, and as Le Bon remarks, even the most intellectual and rational person, once in a crowd, can become ruled entirely by emotion, which is far more powerful than appeals to reason.

Le Bon says, for instance, "Given to exaggeration in its feelings, a crowd is only impressed by excessive sentiments. An orator wishing to move a crowd must make an abusive use of violent affirmations. To exaggerate, to affirm, to resort to repetitions, and never to attempt to prove anything by reasoning are methods of argument well known to speakers at public meetings." Here's a short analysis of Hitler's techniques, applying exactly what Le Bon said: [Link] It was all quite carefully calculated and rehearsed. This link shows many photos of Hitler practicing before a mirror: [Link]
It is well worth studying these things, because once you recognize these techniques being applied to you in practice, you have the means to resist their manipulation. I cannot read a Western newspaper or watch TV news or watch a Western politician making a speech any more, because it stirs me to fury when I see how they are so craftily trying to manipulate me, and their contempt for my intelligence. I do sometimes read articles from Arabic or Indian or Japanese media, because they present simple facts and don't insert emotional buzzwords into their text to influence the reader.

For the same reason, it is important to study Edward Bernays, because his techniques of subconscious mental manipulation were even more insidious and powerful than those analyzed by Le Bon. Here is a wonderful mini-book on Bernays - one of the most important bookmarks in my library - if you read nothing else, this is one you should not miss: [Link] Good luck in your future education as a subversive skeptic!

As we had been told (in a society that did not glorify him), he got acting lessons from professionals. And kept on practicing.

Albeit I'm not sure about Hitlerhimself. His handlers definitely.

Thanks for that link. I have it bookmarked now. I recommend (even though it is from the BBC) 'The Century of the Self - Part 1: "Happiness Machines"' [Link] ...The old film from the early 20th century of Bernays (advertising before and after), when he was interviewed (very old), getting women to smoke, making presidents popular, etc.

TBoris Thank you for THAT link. I see it is a 4-part series of videos, which I have bookmarked all of them, and will get to them in due course. While text articles are informative, video is enjoyable and fascinating - to see it in action for oneself instead of just reading about it. It's great that we can spread knowledge and the truth here on SOTT. Information is power.

TBoris I wanted to get back to you - I watched the series of 4 videos. Thank you again for the link. What I noticed both historically and currently is that the perpetrators of mind control all think they are "improving" human beings and their savage natures. However their "improvements" inevitably become directed in the service of corporate profits and political power, which is pursued usually also for personal profit. And of course, waging war and regimenting the masses. All for "the good of the masses and the nation as a whole," of course. Very depressing. Is human nature really that savage, or do the attempts to "improve" it make it so?

Lemuel Gulliver

Is human nature really that savage, or do the attempts to "improve" it make it so?

My view is the latter...It is all game theory (zero sum [Link] thinking) to these people(globalists/Khazars and their ilk https://biblicisminstitute.wordpress.com/2015/03/17/the-truth-about-the-conflict-with-russia/) to as Lennon said:

“When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.” ― John Lennon

So to boil it all down(I think).. the deception of a small group of oral law makers (circle jerk committees) have voted to exterminate others not from their tribe/group/class who they consider livestock/"useless people" [Link] To make them "livestock" all they have to do is declare them "livestock" by making them act as "livestock"(unruly crowds and social engineering/propaganda, "allow" extermination in mass). "Uncle" Warren Buffett is blunt when he says: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” - Warren Buffett

TBoris Excellent points and excellent quotes. Thanks.

Lemuel Gulliver Humanity was never designed to be a free spirit, it was dumbed down and turned into slaves that service the needs of those who cannot be seen.

From time immemorial slavery of sorts has been practiced, even today society is being harvested and treated indirectly as slaves by the masters who shape this torrid sesspool called life.

Humans are not savage by nature for nature is full of opportunity. If such tendencies are witnessed its those who rule humanity that deliberately made it so.

Winternights3 Thanks.

Not the American elite that sees it's businesses at risk, and which he represents.

Good point. This has been a thing for America from the beginning...See 'America's Counter-Revolution The Constitution Revisited' [Link]

This book challenges the assumption that the Constitution was a landmark in the struggle for liberty. Instead, Sheldon Richman argues, it was the product of a counter-revolution, a setback for the radicalism represented by America’s break with the British empire. Drawing on careful, credible historical scholarship and contemporary political analysis, Richman suggests that this counter-revolution was the work of conservatives who sought a nation of “power, consequence, and grandeur.” America’s Counter-Revolution makes a persuasive case that the Constitution was a victory not for liberty but for the agendas and interests of a militaristic, aristocratic, privilege-seeking ruling class.

The good news is that Trump represents nationalism or statehood over globalism. Nation states (with the flag waving) is decentralization of global governance...At least a step in the right direction vs WEF (I think). Trump though needs to come clean on the conservative Council of Foreign Relations though that the Republican crowd back doors to WEF.

TBoris At least at this point in time, the common man in the US (and even the mentioned sluggard living off the EBT card) has a common interest with this elite, and a common enemy.

And we Europeans, too.

TBoris That looks like a very interesting book. A very different perspective on the US Constitution, that we have not seen anywhere else.

Maxx Paine The question is - who wrote his current script ...
