Playbook for World Domination

Do you have more money than you know what to do with ?
Do you have big dreams and connections in high places ?
Do I have a plan for you !
• First , make a plan .
World domination isn ’ t just going to fall into your lap .
Read old school case studies like The Project for a New American Century and from more recently , the World Economic Forum ’ s Great Reset , the WHO ’ s Agenda 2030 , ID2020 and UN Agenda 2030 .
• Create a crisis .
It must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It will be easier to implement your plan in the chaos that follows .
• Fear is your friend .
Paralyze them with fear .
They ’ ll go along with anything .
• The crisis should have mysterious foreign origins .
Cave-dwelling terrorists in Afghanistan , cave-dwelling bats in Wuhan .
For some reason , caves work , maybe something about their primitive connotations .
Plus , it ’ s not like journalists are going to investigate something that happened in some God-forsaken foreign nation when they can earn a paycheck by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night on Twitter from the comfort of their own beds .
• But the place can ’ t be totally random .
You ’ re going to need some connections in high places .
Remember , Bush ’ s connections with Saudi Arabia , the CIA with Osama Bin Laden , Bill Gates with China , and Anthony Fauci with that Wuhan lab ?
• Psychologically prepare the population .
This is most easily accomplished by making movies for the plebes .
See Pearl Harbor ( May 2001 ) and Pandemic ( January @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ invisible enemy ” that “ knows no borders , ” one that is impossible to definitively eradicate .
But don ’ t use terrorists or a virus again .
That ’ s played out .
You ’ ll have to come up with something bigger and better next time .
Aliens might be cool .
• Make the epicenter the Big Apple , because those folks are generally on our side and always easy to work with .
Also , take a cue from Hollywood : Godzilla didn ’ t invade Charleston @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t take place in Helena .
There is a reason for this .
• Go big or go home .
Is it likely that commercial airliners would manage to fly through some the most heavily defended airspace in the world and hit two buildings , 18 minutes apart , and the Pentagon ?
No — LOL !
Is it likely that a virus would manage to escape one of the most highly secured and secretive labs in the entire world ?
Probably not .
But the good news is : You don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely or probable or believable .
Just concern yourself with what is plausibly deniable and go from there .
Seriously , the bigger the lie , the easier it is to believe , because they won ’ t be able to believe that someone would tell a lie that big .
It ’ s all about chutzpah !
• Plant a few seeds or make sure there is some precedent for the incredulous , like this and this .
• Practice makes perfect !
We recommend running some simulations , like the Pentagon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NORAD drills or Event 201 .
They can be good for cover or confusion or just for looking like you are trying to prepare for a crisis instead of planning one .
Now that you ’ re ready , you can trigger your “ catastrophic and catalyzing ” event .
( D-Day stands for “ Demo Day , ” by the way .
Ha ha . )
Dragonfly Embossed Cob ... Buy New $ 26.00 • Surprise , surprise .
Condoleeza Rice and President Bush both said that no one could have imagined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Though the military had imagined and prepared for this very thing . )
And even though the Wuhan lab had 1,500 viruses in its stockpile , the virus that caused the plandemic was of course totally unknown to mankind , like nobody knew how it worked and stuff .
This is important , like whatever happens needs to seem to come out of nowhere .
• Instantly associate your new crisis with an iconic old one , but don ’ t recreate the wheel .
Humans have short memories .
“ Pearl Harbor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Globe in September 2001 , and The Boston Globe again in April 2020 .
• Provide instant answers and verbalize the plan immediately .
By the afternoon of September 11 , 2001 , Osama Bin Laden ’ s face was plastered all over the television screen , and people were calling for war ( the plan ) shortly thereafter .
With the virus , it was important to tell people immediately what it was , where it came from , and that there would be no hope in combatting it without a vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
First impressions are important .
After that , humans will for some reason just , like , go with it .
• Re-traumatize through repetition .
In 2001 , television stations broadcasted the images of the towers collapsing over and over again for months .
In 2020 , no one could escape the daily reports on “ cases.
” Repetition is key .
Don ’ t worry : We ’ ve laid the groundwork for you here .
The media will dutifully repeat whatever you tell them , and then the humans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they hear from the media .
We didn ’ t call it “ Operation Mockingbird ” for nothing !
• Make up slogans .
Let ’ s roll !
Never forget .
Never again .
These colors don ’ t run .
Flatten the curve .
Stay safe .
Socially distance .
Shelter in place .
# wearadamnmask .
You know , dumb crap like that .
• You need some branding , something catchy to get people on board , something like “ The War on Terror ” or “ The Great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ someone questioned the events of September 11th he was deemed “ unpatriotic.
” If he questioned the narrative of COVID-1984 , he was surely a sociopath !
Next time , if shame doesn ’ t work , send them to a “ re-education camp ” or just start killing people , ideally in public .
• The all-seeing eye .
After September 11 : “ If you see something , say something ” and “ Report suspicious activity.
” After the virus , people started snitching on their neighbors who were having a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ park .
• Allow virtue signaling .
Give people a way to show their buy-in , like by wearing an American flag on their lapel or donning a face diaper .
Just make sure it ’ s easy , because people will do anything to seem like a good person , but not if it ’ s hard .
• Tell them everything has changed .
Use terms like “ post-9/11 ” and the “ New Normal.
” The crisis must be characterized as a watershed event that will forever change the way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they ” … ha ha . )
• Never look back .
Discourage reflection and “ how did we get here ” conversations , like about “ blowback ” or the ethics of engaging in biological warfare research or the pervasive problem of generally weakened immune systems from nutrition-less , GMO foods .
People should only look forward ( to the war/vaccine ) , never back .
• Combat dissent .
For anyone who 1 ) points out the published agendas in written documents , 2 ) speaks about large gatherings of powerful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Foreign Relations , Bilderberg Group , etc.
, 3 ) dares to speak aloud the names of conspirators or the organizations they fund and associate with , 3 ) questions the origins of the crisis , or 4 ) urges prudence instead of haste , 5 ) calls attention to the downsides of the plan , 6 ) questions the plan in anyway , censor them , call them “ conspiracy theorists ” or say that they want to “ do nothing ” in a time of crisis .
Moving towards implementation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • The threat must be ongoing .
After September 11 , they used an ever-changing , color-coded warning system .
After the virus , they did this too .
In both cases there were constant reports of “ break-outs ” and predictions of a second wave , and ongoing “ scientific discoveries ” like : “ It causes brain damage !
” or “ It causes infertility !
” or “ People who walk their dogs are 78 % more likely to get the virus !
” • Create logical chaos .
For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so maddening .
For example , in 2001 , people were told that the fires from jet fuel were so hot that they could cause steel structures to collapse and disintegrate into dust , yet one of the terrorists ’ passports was supposedly found lying on the ground .
People were told the terrorists were in Afghanistan but “ we ” needed to invade Iraq .
People were told the virus could live on surfaces for up to two weeks , but then it couldn ’ t .
It wasn ’ t necessary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was .
Asymptomatic people could transmit the virus , then only pre-symptomatic people could .
The virus could spread at anti-lockdown protests but not at BLM protests .
This kind of thing will drive thinking people crazy .
Good .
That ’ s what you want .
• Create social chaos .
Thinking people will spend hours , years , decades , trying to figure out the truth , sharing the latest information , and then arguing , especially on social media , about what is true and what is not .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ what really happened while you implement the plan .
• Ignore , play down protests and it will be like they didn ’ t happen .
Most people had no idea of the extent of the protests against the invasion of Iraq , or about the extent of the protests against the lockdowns .
So when the plan proceeded unimpeded , it didn ’ t strike many as being against the will of the people .
• Make people feel physically insecure and unsafe .
After September 11 , they unleashed the Anthrax @ @ @ @ @ @ @ funded the BLM and Antifa riots , started race wars , and worked toward color revolution .
While Rome is burning , you will be calmly implementing your plan .
As you implement the plan : • Manufacture evidence .
The intelligence agencies were pressured to “ find ” the evidence that would support the plan to invade Iraq ; just like hospitals and doctors were bribed or pressured to report the cause of deaths as COVID-1984 .
• Dismiss family ties as conspiracy theory .
George W. Bush was the son of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ head of the CIA ( who didn ’ t remember where he was the day Kennedy died ) , had waged a previous war against Saddam Hussein , and had publicly called for a “ new world order , ” yet the “ War on Terror ” could have nothing to do with any of that .
Bill Gates came from a family of eugenicists , engaged in dishonest business practices his whole life , and publicly called for population reduction and control , but this vaccine could have nothing to do with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ warp speed .
The post-September 11 cries that we must “ Do something !
” fueled the rush to war .
The panic over the virus fueled “ Operation Warp Speed , ” the push for a vaccine .
The wreckage at the World Trade Center was carted off and sold to China before anyone could blink .
Likewise , there was no time to investigate Gates ’ and Fauci ’ s ties to the Wuhan lab , how the virus escaped , whether the virus was manmade , the fraudulent testing and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the necessary trials to test the vaccine before it went to market .
• Mission creep : Just like the need to bomb the caves in Afghanistan where the terrorists supposedly dwelled led to the invasion for Iraq , and then the occupation of both countries for decades , so “ fourteen days to flatten the curve ” led to six months of “ lockdown ” and economic devastation and , then , the need to stop climate change , to move to digital currency , to usher in the fourth industrial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Catholic Church on your side .
One way to do this might be to have a major paper publish drop a perfectly timed bombshell that exposes the largest sex scandal in history , thereby discrediting them , embroiling them in controversy , and preoccupying them with lawsuits for the foreseeable future so they can ’ t , or won ’ t , speak out against war .
If you can ’ t do that , buy their silence with millions of dollars .
Like the folks in NYC , the people at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very easy to work with : They didn ’ t bring up Just War Theory when the U.S. government invaded Iraq , and they didn ’ t bring up fetal tissue from aborted babies when they pushed the vaccine .
Now is the time for a power grab .
Just like everything and anything could be justified in the name of national security after September 11 , 2001 , everything and anything could be justified in the name of public health in the wake of COVID-1984 , including the following : • Increase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There was the Patriot Act in the wake of September 11th and “ contact tracing ” in the wake of the virus .
• Install new government busybodies : Like the TSA , then contact tracers .
• Censor !
Silence anyone who criticizes or questions the government ’ s narrative , even those – especially those — who are well qualified in related fields , such as doctors , immunologists , structural engineers , and architects .
Refer to all as “ conspiracy theorists ” and put them all on a media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The military-industrial complex on the one hand , BigPharma and the Davos billionaires on the other .
Luckily these two massive industries eventually blended , with DARPA and the Department of Defense involved in the developing and deploying of the vaccine .
With Big Military , Big Tech , and Big Pharma all blending , things things are getting harder for people to sort out .
That ’ s good !
Psy-ops are necessary to psychologically condition the population for your long term plan .
• Promote loss of bodily privacy .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to being radiated and photographed naked in order to board a plane , or be subject to a feel-up by a rubber-gloved TSA agent , after the virus they had to let random strangers , like the guy at the front desk at the gym give them temperature checks or bark at them to wear a mask .
This made it easier for them to accept when someone eventually told them they had to get a vaccine .
• Everyone is a threat .
The United States ’ was criticized because , at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for weapons instead of for terrorists ” .
In other words , they didn ’ t use profiling .
But that was the whole point .
Everyone got used to being treated like a terrorist or potential terrorist , just like everyone became accustomed to being treated as if they were sick , or were potentially sick , even if they were not .
• Subject them to asinine , arbitrary nonsense .
Why is bringing 8 ounces of liquid on a plane dangerous but bringing 4 ounces of liquid is not ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ science ” that says viruses can ’ t travel seven feet but they can travel four ?
Who cares !
• Take over science .
Just like you need your assets in the media , you need your assets in the scientific community , so if anyone who tries to question the narrative based on science , you can call their science “ unscientific.
” Most people know nothing about science , so this will be easy .
Just establish who the “ real ” scientists are and then use the logical fallacy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It doesn ’ t take a genius to notice that “ 9/11 ” also happens to be the emergency number to be called in times of a life-threatening situation .
Coincidence ?
We ’ ll never tell .
But here ’ s some more examples of fun with numbers : a .
The “ COVID-19 Testing , Reaching , and Contacting Everyone ( TRACE ) Act ” introduced in May of 2020 was numbered H.R .
6666. b. Microsoft applied for a patent in 2019 for a device that monitors peoples “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person to be rewarded with cryptocurrency ; it is numbered WO/2020/060606 .
c. Bill Gates developed something called the “ Implantable Quantum Dot Microneedle Vaccination Delivery System , ” also referred to as a “ digital tattoo , ” which was essentially a high-tech bar code / branding system for humans .
I don ’ t purport to understand all the details , but from what I ’ ve gathered , there is an enzyme involved , or a nanogel , which was named “ Luciferase , ” which makes the tattoo glow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
( Lucifer was an angel that rebelled against God ; his name means “ light bearer.
” Jesus warned us about the anti-Christ appearing as an “ angel of light.
” ) d. On Good Friday in 2020 , when “ they ” had successfully locked the entire Christian world away in their homes and prevented them from gathering in remembrance of Christ ’ s passion and resurrection , Microsoft came out with an ad for their HoloLens “ virtual reality platform ” featuring none other than Marina Abramovic , Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no one cared about until she was made infamous by her appearances in the Wikileaks “ PizzaGate ” emails .
The media reported that the ad had to be “ pulled ” because Christian and right-wing “ conspiracy theorists ” were throwing a hissy fit .
The point of all of this is that you can have so much fun gas-lighting the Christians .
Put it all out there and then when they say they see signs of Satanic or occult activity , tell them they are seeing things that aren ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coincidence .
It ’ s all in their head .
And when they start talking about the “ mark of the beast , ” they ’ ll only make themselves sound crazy to “ normal ” people who understand things like “ art ” and “ science.
” ( This part isn ’ t necessarily a crucial part of the playbook , but it ’ s just so much fun .
You should try it . )
• Dehumanization .
If there is a war in the works ( as there usually is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elements of the foreign culture that are most offensive or disgusting to people in the West and then harp on it constantly .
After September 11 , pundits and authors ( conservative ones especially ) homed in on things like the 27 virgins , the personal vices of Muhammed , the repression of women , genital mutilation , and pedophilia .
Hollywood villains soon became Islamic terrorists in pretty much every movie and television show .
After the virus , it was made acceptable to make fun of Chinese people for eating weird @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as duplicitous .
The virus was also repeatedly called “ The China Virus ” by President Trump and Republicans , which was a good move .
The point is the psychological conditioning should start sooner rather than later .
You can ’ t expect humans to go kill other humans if they see them as humans , more like them than different .
• In praise of force .
The “ War on Terror ” demanded the constant idolization of the military and public displays of support for “ the troops , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fire fighters , cops , first responders ) .
The BLM/Antifa riots and simultaneous calls to “ Defund the Police ” produced the desired backlash in the form of calls for “ law and order ” and cries of support for cops and soldiers , especially those who had “ fallen.
” This was good , very good .
Find a way to do this , because if you ’ re going to make a play for more control , you ’ re going to need more force to back you up , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make the use of that force look acceptable to the people you need on your side .
Follow these simple steps and you will be a master of this world in no time , not to mention richly rewarded in the next .
I promise .

Moving towards implementation, you must create the right environment.
The threat must be ongoing . After September 11, they used an ever-changing, color-coded warning system. After the virus, they did this too. In both cases there were constant reports of “break-outs” and predictions of a second wave, and ongoing “scientific discoveries” like: “It causes brain damage!” or “It causes infertility!” or “People who walk their dogs are 78% more likely to get the virus!”

Move at warp speed. The post-September 11 cries that we must “Do something!” fueled the rush to war. The panic over the virus fueled “Operation Warp Speed,” the push for a vaccine. The wreckage at the World Trade Center was carted off and sold to China before anyone could blink. Likewise, there was no time to investigate Gates’ and Fauci’s ties to the Wuhan lab, how the virus escaped, whether the virus was manmade, the fraudulent testing and reporting, and certainly no time to for the necessary trials to test the vaccine before it went to market.

Mission creep : Just like the need to bomb the caves in Afghanistan where the terrorists supposedly dwelled led to the invasion for Iraq, and then the occupation of both countries for decades, so “fourteen days to flatten the curve” led to six months of “lockdown” and economic devastation and, then, the need to stop climate change, to move to digital currency, to usher in the fourth industrial revolution and trans-humanism.

Like the folks in NYC, the people at the top of the USCCB have proven historically very easy to work with: They didn’t bring up Just War Theory when the U.S. government invaded Iraq, and they didn’t bring up fetal tissue from aborted babies when they pushed the vaccine.
Now is the time for a power grab. Just like everything and anything could be justified in the name of national security after September 11, 2001, everything and anything could be justified in the name of public health in the wake of COVID-1984, including the following:
Increase surveillance and trampling of civil rights: There was the Patriot Act in the wake of September 11 th and “contact tracing” in the wake of the virus.
There was the Patriot Act in the wake of September 11 and “contact tracing” in the wake of the virus. Install new government busybodies : Like the TSA, then contact tracers.
: Like the TSA, then contact tracers. Censor! Silence anyone who criticizes or questions the government’s narrative, even those – especially those — who are well qualified in related fields, such as doctors, immunologists, structural engineers, and architects. Refer to all as “conspiracy theorists” and put them all on a media blacklist.
Silence anyone who criticizes or questions the government’s narrative, even those – especially those — who are well qualified in related fields, such as doctors, immunologists, structural engineers, and architects. Refer to all as “conspiracy theorists” and put them all on a media blacklist. Rake in obscene profits. The military-industrial complex on the one hand, BigPharma and the Davos billionaires on the other. Luckily these two massive industries eventually blended, with DARPA and the Department of Defense involved in the developing and deploying of the vaccine. With Big Military, Big Tech, and Big Pharma all blending, things things are getting harder for people to sort out. That’s good!
Psy-ops are necessary to psychologically condition the population for your long term plan.
Promote l oss of bodily privacy . Just like everyone had to become accustomed to being radiated and photographed naked in order to board a plane, or be subject to a feel-up by a rubber-gloved TSA agent, after the virus they had to let random strangers, like the guy at the front desk at the gym give them temperature checks or bark at them to wear a mask. This made it easier for them to accept when someone eventually told them they had to get a vaccine.

The United States’ was criticized because, at the airports, they “were looking for weapons instead of for terrorists”. In other words, they didn’t use profiling. But that was the whole point. Everyone got used to being treated like a terrorist or potential terrorist, just like everyone became accustomed to being treated as if they were sick, or were potentially sick, even if they were not.

Just like you need your assets in the media, you need your assets in the scientific community, so if anyone who tries to question the narrative based on science, you can call their science “unscientific.” Most people know nothing about science, so this will be easy. Just establish who the “real” scientists are and then use the logical fallacy of appeal to authority.

Just establish who the “real” scientists are and then use the logical fallacy of appeal to authority. Gas-lighting. It doesn’t take a genius to notice that “9/11” also happens to be the emergency number to be called in times of a life-threatening situation. Coincidence? We’ll never tell. But here’s some more examples of fun with numbers:
a. The “COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act” introduced in May of 2020 was numbered H.R. 6666.
b. Microsoft applied for a patent in 2019 for a device that monitors peoples “body activity data” and allows that person to be rewarded with cryptocurrency; it is numbered WO/2020/060606.
c. Bill Gates developed something called the “Implantable Quantum Dot Microneedle Vaccination Delivery System,” also referred to as a “digital tattoo,” which was essentially a high-tech bar code / branding system for humans. I don’t purport to understand all the details, but from what I’ve gathered, there is an enzyme involved, or a nanogel, which was named “Luciferase,” which makes the tattoo glow so you can see it and scan it. (Lucifer was an angel that rebelled against God; his name means “light bearer.” Jesus warned us about the anti-Christ appearing as an “angel of light.”)
d. On Good Friday in 2020, when “they” had successfully locked the entire Christian world away in their homes and prevented them from gathering in remembrance of Christ’s passion and resurrection, Microsoft came out with an ad for their HoloLens “virtual reality platform” featuring none other than Marina Abramovic, Washington’s favorite witch, a weirdo no one cared about until she was made infamous by her appearances in the Wikileaks “PizzaGate” emails. The media reported that the ad had to be “pulled” because Christian and right-wing “conspiracy theorists” were throwing a hissy fit. The point of all of this is that you can have so much fun gas-lighting the Christians. Put it all out there and then when they say they see signs of Satanic or occult activity, tell them they are seeing things that aren’t there! It’s all a coincidence. It’s all in their head. And when they start talking about the “mark of the beast,” they’ll only make themselves sound crazy to “normal” people who understand things like “art” and “science.” (This part isn’t necessarily a crucial part of the playbook, but it’s just so much fun. You should try it.)
Dehumanization . If there is a war in the works (as there usually is), this is key. Find elements of the foreign culture that are most offensive or disgusting to people in the West and then harp on it constantly. After September 11, pundits and authors (conservative ones especially) homed in on things like the 27 virgins, the personal vices of Muhammed, the repression of women, genital mutilation, and pedophilia. Hollywood villains soon became Islamic terrorists in pretty much every movie and television show. After the virus, it was made acceptable to make fun of Chinese people for eating weird food, and the government was vilified as duplicitous. The virus was also repeatedly called “The China Virus” by President Trump and Republicans, which was a good move. The point is the psychological conditioning should start sooner rather than later. You can’t expect humans to go kill other humans if they see them as humans, more like them than different.

The “War on Terror” demanded the constant idolization of the military and public displays of support for “the troops,” including all who “serve” (fire fighters, cops, first responders). The BLM/Antifa riots and simultaneous calls to “Defund the Police” produced the desired backlash in the form of calls for “law and order” and cries of support for cops and soldiers, especially those who had “fallen.” This was good, very good. Find a way to do this, because if you’re going to make a play for more control, you’re going to need more force to back you up, and you’re going to need to make the use of that force look acceptable to the people you need on your side.
Follow these simple steps and you will be a master of this world in no time, not to mention richly rewarded in the next. I promise.

lewrockwell--2020-11-30--Hungary and Poland Create the Unbridgeable Gap of the Great Reset

There comes a point where negotiation becomes surrender .
Those actively undermining you will always demand more than their right .
Those behind the Great Reset have been creating no-win situations for voters for decades to this exact end .
Over the summer Hungary ’ s Viktor Orban and Poland ’ s Mariusz Moraweicki led the opposition to the EU ’ s budget and COVID-19 relief package standing firm that funds not be tied to any internal political decisions member EU states make .
Both of these countries have incurred the wrath of German Chancellor Angela Merkel over things they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ invoking Article 7 against Poland over changes made to its Supreme Court , for example .
So , this is nothing new .
Neither is the way the EU conducts itself in negotiations .
Handmade Ceramic Cerea ... Buy New $ 20.00 For the past four years we ’ ve watched the EU put the United Kingdom through the worst kind of psychological torture over Brexit negotiations which have been anything but .
It ’ s been a calculated and cynical campaign coordinated with global media , foreign governments , paid political propagandists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , bad arguments , derision and shaming the relentless pressure of sociopaths and psychopaths wears most people down to the point where they negotiate away something that they didn ’ t have to .
They get you to agree to putting on a mask to make people feel better , accepting “ sensible ” gun legislation , voting for the guy who promises to only take 25 % of your income versus that guy that wants 40 % , etc .
In Brexit talks the EU tried to cleave off Northern Ireland as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over British law through the European Court of Justice .
Negotiation is a natural part of human interaction .
There ’ s nothing inherently wrong with it , as long as both sides approach the negotiation honestly .
But , in politics , especially when dealing with those of a particularly self-righteous leftism so common today — as as shorthand I ’ ll just call them Commies — negotiation for them is a tactic in a strategic war .
Because at the core of their argument is always the threat of violence at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And that forms the basis for a negotiation that truly isn ’ t one , but made to look like you have a say in the outcome .
But in reality you don ’ t .
They want all that you have and are willing to take it from you one bite at a time .
In fact , the most psychotic of them truly enjoy this process of consuming you slowly .
Brexit negotiations have supposedly come down to how much French fishermen will still be able to plunder British fishing waters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sovereign country .
The latest offer from the clueless Michael Barnier is the Brits get tithed 15 to 18 % of what the French steal .
This is supposed to be seen as a breakthrough , according to the breathless regime media .
But really it ’ s an insult .
If the U.K. is sovereign and by international law these waters are theirs , then the EU has no rights to them unless the Brits grant them access .
Velvet Trees Set of 3 ... Buy New $ 34.99 But it seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now become symbolic of the entire Brexit process , the U.K. is still saying no .
Negotiating even this small point is tantamount to surrender .
And they are right .
Because agreeing to anything with these people is ultimately telling them what your price is .
This is why , in all things political from the local to the trans-national , every small victory codified into some rule or same treaty is used as a springboard to the next victory and so on .
There is no end to the war until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other side , backed into a corner , stands its ground .
While I ’ ve used Brexit talks as the metaphor here , it ’ s not really apropos because Brexit , legally , already happened .
In a little over a month there may be no formal relationship between the U.K. and the EU .
For Hungary and Poland , however , the situation is far more existential .
And it is why they had to veto the 7-year EU budget and with it the COVID-19 relief package two weeks ago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of the most historic decisions made by any national leader in 2020 .
And if not for the U.S. presidential fraud it may well have been the biggest story of the past month .
Neither Hungary nor Poland have the economic or political power of even the U.K .
Together they aren ’ t close to the U.K. in global influence .
And because of that have much more to lose in angering the EU gods in Brussels than the Brits ever did .
It ’ s why both Prime Ministers Orban @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with so many terrible edicts that come from the EU — really from France and Germany — against their will .
Both men understand the difficult position their countries are in , trapped between no less than three major powers — the U.S. , the EU and Russia .
The balancing act between those three powers is , at best , a difficult one .
At worst , it ’ s a complete nightmare .
So them standing tall here is truly a momentous event and most probably a harbinger of big changes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ll both be under the most intense pressure to cave .
Expect activation of Soros-bots in Hungary .
The smartest thing either could do right now is to open up new rounds of talks with the Russians who just announced they are pretty much done with negotiating anything more with the EU .
That would give them both tremendous leverage with Brussels , by cutting down their list of ‘ enemies ’ from three to two , even if it means courting further sanctions from Merkel and her new Stasi .
Integrity Bottles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the State , as an institution , is at its most pernicious is in providing a vector by which these people , when their arguments are rejected via persuasion , can force them into being through the ballot box or legislative fiat .
And since we all agreed to be governed by these rules , so the argument goes , then you have to submit to the outcome otherwise there is chaos .
And that ’ s the rhetorical and psychological wedge tyrants use to separate you from your liberty and , most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Course of Human Events… But what happens when the people in the negotiations lie , cheat , manipulate and bend the rules ?
What happens when negotiations at one point in time , say July at the European Council Summit , yield one outcome and the final legislation says the exact opposite ?
If you are Viktor Orban and Mariusz Moraweiki you stand your ground and realize that anything less than outright rejection is full on surrender , no different than the argument over EU fishing access to UK waters .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Because by tying vague EU standards of what constitutes violations of the ‘ rule of law ’ to disbursement of funds under the budget is far more than what Hungarians or Poles signed up for when they entered the EU in the first place .
It is precisely because of this creeping centralization of control to the unelected bureaucracy in Brussels that the Brits voted for Brexit , in effect , twice .
The second time they did so even more emphatically than in 2016 .
Hungary and Poland are very clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why they will not budge .
Read their joint statement here .
The most important part is the final paragraph however .
Note they use the word ‘ negotiation.
’ But they also tie the outcome of that negotiation to a modification of the Treaties signed by each member state .
In effect , saying , we as heads of state will negotiate the best possible offer , but it will still be up to you , the people , to ratify this .
And if you turn us down , then so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is anathema to the World Economic Forum , Open Society Foundation and the rest of the burgeoning technocracy being built through the expansion of powers wielded by the European Commission , which this budget and relief package sought to greatly expand .

So , something will have to be done quickly to remove him from the game board or we ’ ve reach Peak EU .

• All Populist leaders in Europe – like Matteo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Germany ’ s AfD , Austria ’ s Freedom Party — neutralized leaving Orban alone against Angela Merkel .
• Brexit undermined to the point where either Boris Johnson ’ s government falls or the U.K. collapses into a failed police state indistinguishable from V for Vendetta .

Most of these are in place .

The lesson of 2020 to this point has been that negotiation is no longer an option .
There can be no settlement on fishing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ EU member states .
For Americans all negotiating has achieved is a terminally corrupt central government running sham elections with a compliant and hostile media telling them they are deplorable scum .
We are now expected to accept the results because they said so .
Um , yeah , no .
The only way to accept the current reality is to believe the very people who you wouldn ’ t buy a used couch from no less lead your government are telling you the unvarnished truth .
Accepting any version of the narrative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. is the most pathetic form of negotiating your own surrender I ’ ve seen in quite a long time .
This is the unbridgeable gap of modern politics .
It is the infinite gulf between surrender and negotiating with terrorists .
The realization is fast dawning on the people across the West that the terrorists don ’ t wear odd clothes , carry Ak-47s and speak in foreign tongues .
They are the ones telling you to let Grandma die of loneliness in a nursing home , forbidding you from buying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than 6 people and spitting on people for not wearing a mask in public .

So them standing tall here is truly a momentous event and most probably a harbinger of big changes coming to the EU. They’ll both be under the most intense pressure to cave. Expect activation of Soros-bots in Hungary.
The smartest thing either could do right now is to open up new rounds of talks with the Russians who just announced they are pretty much done with negotiating anything more with the EU.
That would give them both tremendous leverage with Brussels, by cutting down their list of ‘enemies’ from three to two, even if it means courting further sanctions from Merkel and her new Stasi. Integrity Bottles Prem... Buy New $33.26 (as of 04:45 UTC - Details)
Where the State, as an institution, is at its most pernicious is in providing a vector by which these people, when their arguments are rejected via persuasion, can force them into being through the ballot box or legislative fiat.
And since we all agreed to be governed by these rules, so the argument goes, then you have to submit to the outcome otherwise there is chaos. And that’s the rhetorical and psychological wedge tyrants use to separate you from your liberty and, most importantly, your money.
When in the Course of Human Events…
But what happens when the people in the negotiations lie, cheat, manipulate and bend the rules? What happens when negotiations at one point in time, say July at the European Council Summit, yield one outcome and the final legislation says the exact opposite?
If you are Viktor Orban and Mariusz Moraweiki you stand your ground and realize that anything less than outright rejection is full on surrender, no different than the argument over EU fishing access to UK waters.
This is what these men had to do. Because by tying vague EU standards of what constitutes violations of the ‘rule of law’ to disbursement of funds under the budget is far more than what Hungarians or Poles signed up for when they entered the EU in the first place.
It is precisely because of this creeping centralization of control to the unelected bureaucracy in Brussels that the Brits voted for Brexit, in effect, twice. The second time they did so even more emphatically than in 2016.
Hungary and Poland are very clear as to what their problems are and why they will not budge. Read their joint statement here. The most important part is the final paragraph however.
Our common proposal is to facilitate the speedy adoption of the financial package by establishing a two-track process. On the one hand, to limit the scope of any additional budgetary conditionality to the protection of the financial interests of the Union in accordance with the July conclusions of the European Council. On the other hand, to discuss in the European Council, whether a link between the Rule of Law and the financial interests of the Union should be established. If it is so decided, then the appropriate procedures foreseen by the Treaties, including convening an intergovernmental conference, should be considered in order to negotiate the necessary modification of the Treaties.
Note they use the word ‘negotiation.’ But they also tie the outcome of that negotiation to a modification of the Treaties signed by each member state. In effect, saying, we as heads of state will negotiate the best possible offer, but it will still be up to you, the people, to ratify this.
And if you turn us down, then so be it.
This, of course, is anathema to the World Economic Forum, Open Society Foundation and the rest of the burgeoning technocracy being built through the expansion of powers wielded by the European Commission, which this budget and relief package sought to greatly expand.

We all know how voters choose in Europe when it comes to the European Union and the vote is open, fair and the people well-informed. The EU would never survive such a vote on the amendment of the Treaties which form it.
Orban, especially, knows this. And he has taken on the leadership role in this fight. You know he is effective because they despise him, drawing him up as a cartoonishly evil cross between Snidely Whiplash and Vlad the Impaler.
And despite the massive amount of money Soros spends in Hungary to overthrow Orban it hasn’t worked. So, something will have to be done quickly to remove him from the game board or we’ve reach Peak EU.
Reset This!
Because the Great Reset is predicated on a few things occurring.
The EU having a budget and mechanism in place where the Commission has tax/spend and debt issuance capability. This gives them the political bludgeon necessary to consolidate power in Brussels the same way income tax redistribution undermined Federalism in the U.S. Extending the COVID-19 narrative to purposefully destroy what’s left of the middle class in Europe and the U.S. Donald Trump being overthrown as President of the U.S. restoring power there to those loyal to the WEF. All Populist leaders in Europe – like Matteo Salvini, Geert Wilders, Boris Johnson, Germany’s AfD, Austria’s Freedom Party — neutralized leaving Orban alone against Angela Merkel. Brexit undermined to the point where either Boris Johnson’s government falls or the U.K. collapses into a failed police state indistinguishable from V for Vendetta. Control not only over traditional television media but also the flow of information through the newer social media networks, limiting access to any countervailing narratives.
Most of these are in place. Johnson’s personal weakness has squandered one of the greatest political victories of the past century in less than a year.
Trump’s chances of overturning a fraudulent election are at best a coin flip, and realistically, vanishingly small.
AfD has been neutralized in Germany. Italy’s electoral situation is mixed. Austria has been consolidated under a fake populist Sebastian Kurz.
Local police are openly despotic in enforcing the most draconian lockdown regulations.
But Orban and Moraweicki have stood their ground. Trump is standing his ground. David Frost in the U.K., not Boris Johnson, is standing his ground. Will their example inspire others to do the same?
It’s a good question. The sheer desperation of articles like one from the Spectator, entitled “The Visegrád bloc are threatening to tear apart the EU,” speaks volumes when the author realizes the Visegrads don’t hate the EU for its freedom:
It is tempting to focus only on the individuals involved in the budget crisis: to dismiss Orbán and Morawiecki as rogue despots with no public mandate for their actions and to assume that, if full and fair democratic processes were observed, both Poland and Hungary would favour policies similar to those found in Northern and Western Europe. Yet such a view does not chime with the democratic elections held in the V4 region this year: Duda won the Polish presidency in an affirmation of socially conservative values, while elections in the Czech Republic and Slovakia saw very strong performances by anti-immigration parties. It also ignores the fact that the Visegrád Four – whose histories of war, occupation, and communist authoritarian rule in the twentieth century differ so greatly from their northern and western counterparts – have long pursued policies in opposition to some of the EU’s core tenets.
And what core tenets do the EU practice other than extortion, bribery, backroom dealing and arm-twisting, pray tell? Because on display right now all across Europe, from where I’m sitting, there ain’t a lotta tolerance, equality and compassion.
Oh, right, those are ‘mostly peaceful’ water cannons they’re using in Berlin.
Negotiating with Terrorists
And up until the past two weeks or so, decent, productive people have negotiated, they have bargained in the Kubler-Ross model of grief, rather than accept the need to openly confront the real problems in their governments.
The lesson of 2020 to this point has been that negotiation is no longer an option. There can be no settlement on fishing for the Brits, the rule-of-law for EU member states.
For Americans all negotiating has achieved is a terminally corrupt central government running sham elections with a compliant and hostile media telling them they are deplorable scum.
We are now expected to accept the results because they said so. Um, yeah, no.
The only way to accept the current reality is to believe the very people who you wouldn’t buy a used couch from no less lead your government are telling you the unvarnished truth.
Accepting any version of the narrative that this was a close election in the U.S. is the most pathetic form of negotiating your own surrender I’ve seen in quite a long time.
This is the unbridgeable gap of modern politics. It is the infinite gulf between surrender and negotiating with terrorists.
The realization is fast dawning on the people across the West that the terrorists don’t wear odd clothes, carry Ak-47s and speak in foreign tongues.
They are the ones telling you to let Grandma die of loneliness in a nursing home, forbidding you from buying a Turkey for Christmas that can feed more than 6 people and spitting on people for not wearing a mask in public.
