The Phoenix Shrugged
You can't push through new laws without the appearance of conflict and a show of democratic debate. There has to be simplistic public argument along political lines, and someone has to be seen to win, someone seen to lose. Fake shootings, fake atrocities, fake massacres, fake military ops and the associated corporate/government cover-ups are used to inflame controversy and frame the permissible limits of discussion. Nothing can happen without "public debate" between apparently opposed public figures.
Once the public has taken notice, the scripted argument is colored to match political stereotypes and the rabble is encouraged to choose sides. The pre-ordained solution is not unveiled until public support has been secured. This might take years, generations even, involving legions of digital personas sacrificed for the greater good.
This is why agents are not afraid to play the bad guy. This is why military officers admit wrongdoing, the NSA admits to spying, the ATF leaks self-incriminating evidence of appalling crimes, damning diplomatic cables are released and CEO's behave like conscienceless eugenicists. No one can be convicted of a faked crime.
The courts are controlled. The police are controlled. The DA, the coroner and the governor are controlled. The media is controlled. There was no actual crime, and so there is no actual personal risk. No one actually gets hurt, so the scale of these traumatic, historic media events are limited only by the imagination, chutzpah and CGI of participating agencies. It's like making a movie.
Everyone is so eager to pull off the next Pearl Harbor, the next 911, the next Boston Bombing, the next Sandy Hook that they could not care less who looks good and who looks bad. They are actors playing a part and the bad guy part is always the juiciest. Real mastery is displayed when a bad rep is restored by the fawning media, public relations companies and professional biographers. JD Rockefeller played the bad guy for the Ludlow Massacre and then went on to take over the medical industry as a "philanthropist". It doesn't have to make sense. Bill Gates is following the same playbook, from hated tycoon to hated science guy. Do you think they give a damn what you think of them?
The bad guys in the FBI, the CIA, the LAPD, the NYPD, they don't care either. The more scared you are of them the better. They might play the good guy in real life, but on TV they play the bad guy. One guy is the clown, another an untouchable shark or the sociopathic killer. It depends on who's footing the bills for the performance. There's nothing behind it but Hollywood cheese. Salute the flag, there's another military whistleblower about to get gender reassignment surgery. "Why would they make themselves look bad?" I don't know, maybe because that's how new funding and training vacations are allocated. Maybe because that's how bureaucracies are shook up and people get promoted.
Military atrocities are nothing but braggadocio. War stories are just that, stories. Washington DC murder lists, suicides and 007 tales of international espionage are pulp fiction for the masses. Both wings of that democratic dodo are just taking turns mocking their constituents. They perform their assigned roles like trained seals, balancing talking points on their noses for treats. The talking points are repeated by the media machine until you can repeat them yourself, and then, if everything goes right, some tiny little policy precedent might get passed in the middle of the night while you are already distracted by the next orchestrated outrage.
An essential part of the Phoenician pattern is to destroy its previous incarnation. Intelligence agents are deployed to undermine the local cultures (by tempting them with stories of occult, Kabbalah or Wiccan secret knowledge) and the economy is deliberately dismantled. These agents communicate and coordinate with each other via gematria-laden "sacred" texts and orchestrate the myths that will define the end of an empire. "The Witchcraft Act was repealed in England in 1951 and Gerald Gardner started Wicca in 1954, so we already see the first signs of a project." Fifty years before destroying and recreating the Phoenician Empire, intelligence agents are already at work seeding cultural destruction.
Every 500 years when the empire is imploded, Jews are given free rein to demoralize the majority population and the cities are swamped by immigrants. Agent John Dee spread his occult texts in salons across Europe in the 1500's to further undermine what remained of the 500-year-old Venetian Empire. Foreign wars sap the economy and spark mass migrations. One hundred years before Phoenicia moved to London in 1500 AD, the Ottoman Empire was already pressurising Europe through "Islamic conquests and the Turkic expansion into Eastern Europe". "In 1529, they mounted their first major attack on the Austrian Habsburg monarchy, attempting to conquer the city of Vienna (siege of Vienna)." While the growing British Empire was still too weak to fight, Europeans were fleeing the remnants of the destroyed Venetian Empire to go the Americas.
Five hundred years before, the Byzantine Empire was dismantled by splitting the Church, Komnenos rebellions and Sicilian invasions. "The internal policy of the Angeloi was characterised by the squandering of the public treasure and fiscal maladministration. Imperial authority was severely weakened, and the growing power vacuum at the centre of the empire encouraged fragmentation." "In 1204 the Byzantine capital of Constantinople was sacked and occupied by the Fourth Crusaders." "In exchange for building a dedicated fleet and providing sea transport, the Republic of Venice instructed the Crusaders to pay them for the fleet. However, since not all Crusaders sailed from Venice, the Crusaders could not pay fully the price of the fleet. The Venetian Doge Enrico Dandolo hence asked that the Crusaders help them capture Zadar (or Zara), on the Adriatic Sea. This led in November 1202 to the siege and sack of Zara, the first attack against a Catholic city by a Catholic Crusader army. The city was then brought under Venetian control. When the Pope heard of this, he excommunicated the Crusader army." Why Zara? "In 1183, the city of Zara (Croatian: Zadar) successfully rebelled against Venetian rule."
The "Holy Grail" was invented by "Christian of Troyes", a pseudonym and literature project signalling the rise of the Phoenician Venetian Empire and its rule over the Gauls. "Shakespeare", 500 years later, was another pseudonym and literature project created to represent the founding of the Phoenician Anglo-American Empire. "In the Arthurian legends the spear or lance functioned as a symbol of male fertility, paired with the Grail (as a symbol of female fertility)." "Hughes de Payens" (1070–1136), Knight of the First Crusade and founder of the Knights Templar is said to have come from Troyes. Shlomo Yitzchaki (alias Salomon Isaacides alias Salomon de Troyes alias Rashi) and Jacob ben Meir (alias Rabbeinu Tam) are attributed to Troyes in the early years of Venetian power, as well as Pope Urban IV. Urban IV altered the terms of the Danish succession to permit women to inherit the Danish throne and made room for the Hohenstaufens in Germany.
"King Arthur" did not become English until after 1500 when the Venetian Empire made way for the British Empire. The name "Arthur" comes from artis, the Celtic word for bear (from the Greek arktos), referring to a brave warrior. The king (and by extension the nation) is cuckolded by his servant (from Old French "l'ancelot"), maimed and impotent. He is also known as the "Fisher King", a mockery of Christ. The name "Percival" comes from pierce the veil (from Old French "perce voil"). He credulously spends the story obsessed in a fruitless pursuit of the grail because he is told that he could have healed the Fisher King. The question Percival did not ask is, "why?" The manipulated, innocent seeker never asks the right question, and instead is led on a merry paper chase nowhere.
"Unlucky Perceval, how unfortunate that you failed to ask these questions. If you had done so the maimed King would have been healed, regaining the use of his limbs and the power to rule his kingdom in strength. Because of this failure much grief and suffering will come to yourself and others."
The first hundred years of empire, it is a fragile thing. For at least a hundred years before the nest has been prepared so that it might hit the ground running. Modern manufacturing and media is already mature and the population trained to perform their tasks. The old empire has been sabotaged and shattered, divided against itself, enemies at the gate and the gate held wide open. This is analogous to the period in England, from 1500 to 1600. Henry VIII declared in 1533 "that this realm of England is an Empire". Competing armadas were decommissioned and then operated by British companies. The old Venetian Empire in continental Europe is under threat of Islamic conquest and in constant warfare with itself.
The second hundred years is a period of unrestrained growth. Competitors of the new empire are now cooperating with it, having accepted the new global regime. From 1600 to 1700, the English Navy was increasingly allowed to dominate the seas with impunity. The territory of Britain was conquered and consolidated. The old Venetian empire in Europe continues to be torn up by proxy wars. New colonies are founded.
The third hundred years is the time of peak acceleration for the empire, its enemies vanquished. From 1700 to 1800 the British Navy rules the ocean blue, the empire's colonial possessions become profitable and ever more psychologically dominated by the City of London.
The fourth hundred years is the time of peak expansion of empire. From 1800 to 1900 the British Empire rules the world, setting up and then dispatching all potential rivals. London banking, capitalism and British-operated manufacturing is dominating markets in every corner of the world. New philosophies and intellectual innovations are invented to round out the empire's historical legacy.
The final hundred years is a time of soft landing. The empire is dismantled and moved overseas to form the basis for the next incarnation of the Phoenix. From 1900 to 2000 Britain is shut down, replaced by a short term flowering of US manufacturing and the fiction of the Anglo-American Empire. Great wars are fought to sap the productive energy of the empire, and its wealth is used to set up a great manufacturing regime in China.
The English used their Freemasons to infect and demoralize the European continent, specifically France. Through Venetian-style intrigue, the English initiated an endless series of wars culminating in the French Revolution and the English myth of General Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon was the excuse England needed to openly rule all of France.
1788: FR government debt was 400% GDP. Interest payments were 18% GDP.
2022: US government debt is 128% GDP. Interest payments are 2% GDP.
Things have to get a lot worse before they can push us into revolution. Clown world intensifies.
The Anglo-American fortune (held in gold) is gone. It sailed for Shanghai long before the year 2000. The British possessions (including the US) can look forward to 500 years of economic decline. That being said, to the extent that the West cooperates with the fledgling Chinese global empire, it will be able to continue to flourish. Yet no Anglo-American attempt to regain global power is going to be acceptable to the globalists. Any restoration of power has historically been met with force, both from within and without. This is the threat of the Trumpers, and their protective tariffs, and their attempts to restore manufacturing, to "Make America Great Again."
Making America great was easy when it was financed by global fortunes (even so, their favor was limited to 100 years). Trying to make America great without access to money is whistling in the wind. If there will be finance, it will be in the form of Chinese finance. Posturing about America's previous greatness is not going to score any points with Chinese-oriented globalists. US and British elites know the facts, and the Trumpers are unsurprisingly laboring under a delusion of superiority. Success for the next 500 years will rely on a willingness to do whatever China says. That is a bitter pill for many Americans.
Look at the global empire previous to our own, that of central Europe. From approximately 1000 to 1500 AD, the central European states increasingly dominated the world. Once the fortune was shifted to London about the year 1500, a rapid decline in economic strength can be seen across Europe. Yet the hard times did not hit every European state evenly. To the extent that the Europeans swallowed their pride and openly cooperated with their new English masters, they did well (for example, the Netherlands). Even when the European elites clandestinely cooperated with the English (as in France) against the wishes of the citizens, things went well for the nation.
However, when a nation publicly opposed England, or (gasp) began to compete with it (as did Germany), things went very hard with them. This is the threat of America First. They actually believe that America is great. They actually believe that with a little gumption and elbow grease America can be restored to global preeminence. This apparently harmless conceit could have been quite dangerous if the Anglo-American elites also labored under this delusion. Fortunately for all, the worst that will happen is a sort of replay of the French Revolution and the temporary ascendancy of a Napoleon-like tyrant who will claim victories. This play-acting is how the elite cooperate with their new masters and keep the masses off balance and under control.
None of the strategies employed by British and American politicians in recent decades make sense without the explicit recognition of this 500 year pattern. The arcane science of economics has successfully obfuscated the bald fact that markets and innovation depend on the enormous cash flows that come from manufacturing. To destroy a civilization, all you have to do is remove its ability to manufacture. The ease and rapidity of the change has left us with heads spinning. They told us they were going to do it, but they didn't explain why. After all, it was their money from the first. They can do what they like with it.
There's no reason to be black-pilled about it. It's just business. Personal sentiment has nothing to do with it. The Phoenix is reborn every 500 years, it was just our luck to live to see it happen. We did our part to grow the coffers, develop the technology and build the infrastructure of a global empire. They are appreciative. Did Venice starve when their fortune was carried off to London? No. While they became economically irrelevant to the empire, they still manage to eke out a living as a tourist backwater. This is our fate. The more we fight it, the more brutal will we be put down.
Atlas has shrugged; long live the new world order.
