I’ve got to say I read this several hours ago and my subconscious has been working on it since. I think I know what you’re conveying. The level of planning and gamesmanship involved in manipulating the behavior of the populace is very sophisticated and will generally work on some of the people some of the time if not the 60% the Soviet model claims.
However, I would posit the Soviet model’s numbers are from a bygone era and probably before the information age began to bear fruit as it did in the late ’80s, to mid-’90s, perhaps the information age is the lit fuse that brought about the eventual downfall of the Soviet Union. At its peak, the Soviets had absolute control over the free flow of information in Russia. Now the various nation-states are trying their damndest to reboot or regain the type of power they had back in the day.
Russia is banning religions similar to China, yet they haven’t gone so far as to impose a social credit system. The PRC has the people of Hong Kong up in arms (metaphorically speaking) because they don’t want to live in the high tech dystopia the mainland just rolled out, and that’s not to ignore the low tech horrors that have been going on for ages now.
In America, the U.S. continues to test its limits on multiple fronts. In New York, people in the corporate world are coerced into adopting one of the many hundred-odd gender pronouns for each individual, or else pay staggeringly unrealistic fines. Many of the several states are facing an ever-increasing test on the right to bear arms and their various accessories such as bump stocks, high capacity magazines, and silencers. Additionally, there is a war on those who would choose not to take vaccinations. It’s slow going, insidious, but always marching forward.
Ultimately, I don’t think we should discount the power of the people to shed sunlight, the great disinfectant, upon all corners of tyranny throughout the globe, this will happen naturally with the communication power the internet has provided us. I foresee the war on ideas will continue on for decades, and the people will equally resist it. As the government’s crackdown, it will only make the problem worse for them as necessity is the mother of invention and the people will be forced to improvise.
I think the struggle between liberty and tyranny will go on forever, as it has since the beginning of time. Despite the propaganda, there are no clear winners or losers. The way I see it, both Orwell and Huxley are being proven right every day. It’s not just them either; many other futurists are right as well. Essentially, those things we focus on the most become reality constructs in our mind. That’s not to say there is no objective truth to be had. Everyone is running around divining their own truths and building unique reality tunnels.
The mainstream corporate news and entertainment industry plays a big role in keeping a majority of people grounded into a reality that is projected for us, similar to Plato’s cave. However, one could just as easily veer off the beaten path by picking up a book, writing a story, or predicting alternate futures that or more palatable than Orwell and Huxley’s visions. If we live these future outcomes in the present day, even in small ways, it will carve a path in that direction.
I guess what I’m saying is that resistance is not futile, and we should have faith in the power of our individual and collective spirit or willpower. In this world, it seems like everything is intended to drain our life force, but with a little shift in focus and belief in ourselves we can make great changes to not only the terrain but also the internal landscape of others. The ability to communicate; that alone, is an immense superpower we all have.
You are certainly doing it justice, and I hope more will follow your example. Have you ever put any thought into writing inspirational works of fiction that might convey to people how to live with a spirit of authenticity, or resist tyranny in clever ways? It seems like the best works of fiction I’ve enjoyed have always been people who resist unthinkable levels of tyranny and prevail.
Or maybe the A team needs something equivalent to the B team’s rules for radicals. Maybe we need a rule’s for fill in the blank, a handbook that outlines how we can carve a path to winning peacefully with effective persuasion. Or can you recommend any works on these topics that I may be unaware of? Thanks for reading this ridiculously long comment—I’m just spitballing over here.

Hey my friend,
Hope you've been well?! Thanks for leaving such a brilliant and well composed/considered comment, and sorry for the late eyes on it but it's been a long day at work and I've only just sat down. Yes I do very much agree with your analysis of the Soviet era .. indeed, one thing is for sure (although many remain willfully ignorant) and that's the populace are much better informed in this modern era, hence the subversion techniques are far more insidious and sophisticated. When I allude to the Soviet control model I'm hinting at a similar methodology, but different methods. With the elites influences within wars and the communist links etc I highlighted in my green phoenix post, they kind of have a pick and mix of psychological subversion techniques at their fingertips and (much like Huxley's Brave New World) appear to be creating more of a prison for the mind .. one where (those that have been handed the moral high ground) refuse to acknowledge what is happening, and in essence police the jail that is being created for us. They begin to enjoy their enslavement because they think of themselves as our guards and the guardians of morality, hence welcome the thought police and free speech controls .. anything to silence the voices of those that speak against those that have assumed an inverted moral high ground, it's very scientific and it's specifically being targeted at the youth .. and because I monitor social trends, that is the chief area of my concern.
With regards to the Chinese social credit system, and like I alluded to in the post, I can certainly muse upon how through something like a facebook crypto (or something similar) they could merge a social control system into their monetary policy, with all the de-platforming and an ever-increasing array of hate speech definitions, we can see them setting the precedent .. pushing the boundaries. They are slowly gathering pace, ramping up the momentum and turning up the heat. In terms of Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals .. they appear to be operating from that playbook. But you're right .. a mirror image of that would be a fantastic idea and some real food for thought, thank you!! I haven't written any fiction works .. but I do have some ideas I've been mulling over, it's just that I have a couple of other books planned first. I might first try and write a book that I feel may be more commercially successful, which (if it went well) would take a bit of the work burden of me and then I could get into something much deeper and more profound, we shall see. Resistance definitely isn't futile and I apologise if I didn't make myself clearer in that respect, what I was kind of trying to say is that within the truth movement we often allow ourselves to be divided by details .. when being united by a good intent is a far more powerful force. Thanks again @thoughts-in-time :)

After reading a few of your posts in one sitting, I have much to say that I believe you seem open-minded enough to entertain. I am leaving this comment only to remind myself to do so tomorrow or whenever I am next on the internet, as I have to go now. But, I appreciate your mind and believe that a conversation could prove very fruitful for us both in ascertaining the most likely future, and how best to address it.

I really don't know where to begin, as you have said a lot. This comment may be very disorganised, but I will try to share all of my relevant thoughts.
To begin, as far as the 20% who will never capitulate - I think this has been replaced, thanks to modern media and advanced subliminal programming (probably written by machine learning algorithms at this point), by a 20% who believe they are working against the agendas of the architects of society - buy who are in fact doing their bidding.
There's a lot of "anarchists" and anti-government peoples out there nowadays, and I think the majority believe they have come to this mindset through a heightened ability to discern truth - but from what I can see, the anti-establishment sentiment has been getting propagated by the establishment itself, for at least a decade, but more increasingly as of late. I actually just found out two days ago, that my 12 year old niece is now learning about conspiracies in school, in a class called RME - religious and moral education. Based on how she described the class to me, it seems to be yet another mechanism leading people towards a strong distrust for government.
As a side note, I wonder how relevant school will continue to be. If you are familiar with how public schooling was modelled - after the old Prussian model, because their soldiers did not run away in war and were willing to die for their country, then it seems the main purposes of public education in the West has been - 1) to cultivate a sentiment of patriotism in children, and a willingness to go off to war and die for their countries 2) to prepare them for a life of working 9-5 3) to create a sense of social competition which will later become the fuel which drives the consumerism. However, they have things like fortnite to tease children into the idea of being soldiers now, the sense of competition is being worked into the mind by the gamifcation of every app and website, and there's little need to be preparing people for a life of working 9-5 when in a decade the robots will be handling most of the jobs and humans will likely be earning money through "making contributions to society" and streaming/content creating etc. In short, moving from the age of payments into the age of rewards, the age of work into the age of dancing monkeys in a giant circus, for me, almost completely defeats the necessity for public schooling. I think that soon children will be raised on YouTube and media, which also seems to be fitting for another reason - because as the divide and conquer strategy gets further and further, we now find that school is where people make friends and now they seem to want less of that - they want our friends to exist online and not in our local communities.
It is also my thoughts that the architects of modern society and those seeking to shape the world of tomorrow are magicians, versed in the occult arts. I am not so sure I agree with there being a rule that they have to be forthcoming about anything - but if they want to use our own power to have us create the world they want then they have to insert ideas and concepts into our minds. But, I think with most things - there are levels of involvement. For example, if we take 9/11. If we are going to say that was a conspiracy, and that there were "bad guys" involved. Well, I would think that some of those perpetrators would be under the impression it was about money and cultivating an excuse to go to war. Others would be privy to another reason, that it was about justifying more invasive rules of governance in the US. While fewer still, but some, would understand it to be a ceremonial magick ritual and human sacrifice - I have a couple of different theories on the purpose of that ritual, and wonder again if it could have been serving both but different levels knew different information - which means more disparate intentions and more goals achieved.
I say all that because when we think of those working against us, we often think of them as all organised and operating with an agreed agenda but I doubt that's likely. I think that of all the people working against us - ourselves included - that everyone has been carefully led into a tunnel where they can see little but their own part and are unable to understand that there are multiple tunnels running parallel to them forging a great structure of the society tomorrow, but all with different ideas of what that tomorrow is going to look like. Only those at the very top of the agenda will have a clear picture of what is actually being created, and my guess is that there are very, very few of those.
Who is behind it? Hmm. I read in a different one of your posts your thoughts on the NWO and the rising Phoenix. I think that it's possible that the Phoenix is a metaphor for the Ancient Phoenician empire. Birds are often used to symbolise empires and the lifespan of a Phoenix is akin to the average length of an empire. I think it is a metaphor for how the same small group of people have retained power over the world, by establishing empires and then eventually pulling the plug and having the empire brought down by the people after a rebellion, but then guiding the rebirth of governance covertly towards the establishment of a new, stronger, more invasive and powerful empire under a new name. But, I do wonder if there will ever be a need to pull the plug again after this time, for once they have blockchain - which I believe is not to do with currency as much as it is to do with the conception of a new internet and surveillance network capable of recording everything, everywhere, at all times.
So I think you are right that we need to keep an eye on what's going on around us, and people have been led to worship bitcoin and blockchain so much that I was quite surprised to even read that you were skeptical about it where it could lead. People are getting emotionally invested in defending the blockchain now. But, this coming age of Aquarius will, I believe, bring us a new timeline. Those who say the end of time is upon us, I believe are correct. But, the end of time just means we start again at Year 1, with a new God to worship - perhaps technology, or ourselves.
So, to get onto my more out there theory, but one I see so much evidence for and am writing about myself now - I think that the fall has to happen before we can get to a one world government model. A lot of people think that there is a huge depopulation event coming, and that the government or war will be the main cause of death. But, I wonder if it will not sooner be ourselves who kill one another. When our hatred for centralised power has been piqued, we will perhaps be led to tear down our Western governments and, for a time, be forced to govern ourselves. I think the ultimate goal will be a one-world-g0vernment, but the only way we will ever be willing to accept that, or the chip that will likely come with it, is if we first were shown how much government is needed because we cannot look after ourselves. So, I fear a purge like period of anarcho-capitalism, where corporations have been let off the leash, and where with no centralised police, the people deal out their own justice as vigilantes. The internet/worldwide web, is definitely nefarious in nature. But, given the words net and web, which both allude to a sense of capture, I think it has been more about amassing information on people and getting an insight into how humans think and behave, than anything else. And, we have seen information be used a lot in the last year to breed hatred and anger towards people. It would surprise me not if in the future, the stupidest things we have said on the internet come back to haunt us when angry mobs get their eyes on it after "a hacker releases our sensitive data"
This is getting really long.. and I don't even remember what I have written. Lol. But, I do fear that any depopulation that occurs will largely be us murdering each other, or dying in poverty after the financial crash that will lead to the blockchain tokenised society.
But it's like you say. We change the future by changing how we think. It's really simple, in fact, at least in theory. All we have to do to fix everything - is to make people understand that we're on the same team, and not adversaries. I suspect though, that modern language as we know it - which is largely accredited to the Ancient Phoenicians interestingly, is working against that possibility unbeknownst to us.

Hey @lordles.exile .. thank you for the great comment and sorry for the late reply! I run a business centred around the hospitality industry and with all the beautiful weather we've been having it's been non-stop nose to the grindstone.
Yes I very much agree, in fact within a recent post I made a similar statement about the left, where I observed that the leftwing old enemy of globalism has been (unknowingly) relegated to the choirboys of the globalist agenda, so yes I very much agree that through methods of algorithmically nudged psychological subversion techniques and identity politics, they have been able to turn their enemies into their greatest assets .. I did write a fairly long post about how this process plays out through social media and have attached it below.
I very much agree (as per my post) that much of the anti-establishment rhetoric is being whipped up by the establishment themselves, they want us to (of our own free will and volition) destroy the old to make way for the new world order, they also want us to ostracise all that stand in their way .. indeed "hate" is now a socially engineered weaponised word, as is inclusivity .. as it's only inclusive to those that are aligned with a perceptual hive mind and ever-narrowing band of acceptable opinion. As far as I can see the true evil in this world is hiding behind an increasingly inverted perception of virtue .. indeed the social media phenomenon of "virtue signalling" is (to my mind) a socially engineered construct.
In terms of education, I think we will begin to observe a move towards some kind of global "common core" .. indeed this has long been the mantra of UNESCO, and UNESCO have partnered with Bill Gates & Microsoft (Gates was previously a choirboy for common core). Equally, UNESCO is obviously an instrument of the UN & the Rockefeller family (who are the architects of the UN) have also (for many decades) increasingly infiltrated the classroom .. as have Google, all globalist institutions looking to create a world citizen and a technocratic feudal society (us and them). Obviously, if you want a feudal society at some point you will need a global education system that's aligned on an ever-increasing array of commonalities .. i.e the hive mind of accepted opinion. It's all very insidious and scientific .. and like all dictatorships, it's going straight for the children.
I agree with your statement relating to them being magicians, equally my observation relating to them signalling their intent is an aspect of esoteric law. It's my belief (and I have much information that I have yet to share) that the bloodlines in control of this world have been consolidating power for literally thousands of years, the library of Alexandria was pillaged before it was burnt and that these people hold a vast array of occultic information around the psychology and physiology of the homo-sapian .. the reason they signal their intent is because they are attempting to work within a warped understanding of natural law, they believe that by doing this they negate judgement. They have been doing this for thousands of years, and if you know where to look the signs are all around us.
There was an ancient religion that elevated themselves through seven virtues that they believed took them closer to divinity, this belief system is a complete inversion of that statement .. and if you look around you can see we're increasingly being nudged towards an inverted state of being .. but again we must arrive at this state through the manipulation of our freewill .. we must do this to ourselves and each other.
Yes I couldn't agree more .. in fact my last three major posts have all alluded to the validity of that statement, I tend to think of people (even if they believe they're all powerful) as compartmentalised aspects of a broader intent, very few will know the true nature of that intent and mostly people are controlled and directed through their greed and lust for power,equally there will be people with a very good intent that are being (unknowingly used within the same agenda) .. I recently wrote; "This is the new form of governance, and it doesn’t require vast arrays of individuals all working towards a nefarious intent, indeed it hides behind virtue and a good intent. Through scientific methods of compartmentalisation and psychological indoctrination; a relative handful can draw vast resources and tenuously aligned movements to create a powerful and alluring narrative."
I also feel that much of the purge will be carried out by ourselves .. in many ways you can already see the division lines being drawn. Algorithms and social media carefully dividing people into categories and fanning the flames of hatred .. as you allude to, I can also envisage an era of chaos that will eventually have people on their knees begging for a one world government .. begging for a control system that a few years previously they would have fought against. That said, I really wouldn't rule out the possibility of some form of world war to bring about the aforementioned state of chaos and murderous rampage. In terms of our words coming back to haunt us .. that is something I very much agree with, hence why I attempt to choose them very carefully. lol
Yes, Phoenicians who became the Venetians, and as far as I'm aware (this is from memory so I'll have to check) but the English language is an inversion of ancient Hebrew. Phoenicians, Phonetics, the clues are certainly in the words and alas the words are becoming increasingly weaponised to create a socially engineered perceptual reality, altering the use of words but still retaining the subconscious essence of what they once meant .. I'm keeping an eye on many of them. There is a lot going on here .. hence I don't allow my belief, to impede my understanding/learning! Thanks again for the great comment my friend!

Another truly excellent post my friend! I think the system is certainly on the precipice of change, but what change that is we will find out. The winds are in their sails but they, like mother nature, are unpredictable and can turn on a dime in favor of things they do not anticipate.
Off to read the other one of yours in my queue while I eat, cheers!
@swayzilla this is another guy I love to read, though his posts are more spiritual, esoteric and thought provoking than any of the other things I've shared with you.

Hey @cmplxty .. thanks for taking the time to read/comment and sorry for the late reply but I've been ill! I think there is a strong possibility that the change we see unfolding around us, is akin to a false start and that rather than charging through the front door, the NWO is attempting to sneak in through the kitchen window. Equally, part of this psyop relates to the impression that they're all powerful and that we're powerless .. if that were true, they wouldn't need to spend billions on propaganda and social engineering, hence like you say .. things very much can turn on a dime!
Thanks I've not heard of him before, but I will look into his work .. I'm saving a lot of my spiritual/esoteric ideas back for my book, hence why I've been writing more within this genre. If you've yet to read it the post below is well worth a read and its the sequel to the one world religion post that I think you've read. At the bottom of this post is a link to the last part of the chapter, then at the bottom of that is a link to the short conclusion. Thanks again my friend!

I heard you were ill! Stomach bugs are the worst. I recently started taking activated charcoal when I feel those types of things coming on and knock on wood so far it’s done amazing at preventing it! The charcoal absorbs the bacteria, it’s a staple in our cabinet now!

Ah no worries dude and thanks again! Great shout on the charcoal .. I'm all in with natural remedies, in fact I've just brought a book on medicinal & edible wild plants in the British Isles .. great to see the old knowledge is coming back! Equally, painful to see that in retaliation google have weaponised their search engine algorithms to paint a bad picture of organic food and natural medicine! Keep spreading the knowledge my friend. :)

Hey my friend,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a brilliant reply and apologies for the delay in getting back to you, but I haven't had five minutes to myself. Yes I do very much agree with your perspective, I envisage it as a race to a dystopian or utopian finish line .. equally the tighter they try to hold onto power the more they become the driving force behind our creativity and ingenuity. I know that within our grasp we hold the keys to a very bright future, my perspective is that to achieve our full potential is going to require as much inner work as out is in the outer design and implementation. In essence a paradigm shift in how we view the world, each other, our definitions of success and certainly our manipulated and inverted perceptions of power.
Although I feel we're profoundly interconnected with one another, I don't really get into the whole "we are one" perspective as (through studying youth social trends) I feel the concept has the potential to become weaponised and nudge us towards the collectivisation of thought, action and behaviour. But a world of self-empowered individuals united in good intent and working towards the emancipation of humanity, well that is a dream whose first tentative steps will one day become mighty strides.
Like you highlight, decentralisation is absolutely key, in every sphere of society .. indeed (as I've recently written about) in terms of energy, it's a greenwashed centralised energy policy that is a key driver for the much of the environmental degradation we see unfolding around us, dam the rivers, build industrial size windfarms on precious landscapes, chop down vast swathes of ancient forest so we can burn it in our bio-refineries and call it green energy .. keep energy centralised and heavily subsidised. Or how about decentralising the whole industry and (quite literally) give power to the people?!
There is the tech for every house to more than meet it's energy needs, instead of handing away our tax money to fund industrial-scale energy projects .. give it back to us! Enshrine it into law that every new build must produce not only it's own energy needs but also allow us to trade the excess on the markets, or feed an emergency or industrial skeleton grid, or go towards social enterprises etc etc. This is just one example and like you allude to, decentralisation in every sphere of society is absolutely key to our freedom and survival. There is both the thirst and the ingenuity out there, alas it'd being strangled by a noose of redtape .. we need to break free of the perceptual prisons that have been assembled around us, become united in intent and not allow ourselves to continually divided by petty details and generationally alternating facts.
I know it doesn't always come across in my writing, but long term I am filled with optimism and hope for the future of our species .. I just feel that it's going to be difficult rights of passage before we realise our full potential. I'm trying to tread a fine line between informing people of the bigger picture, inspiring thought and questions, making them aware of the seriousness of our situation .. but not in such a way that they feel powerless to rise to this most important of occasions. That's the intent, the reader can decide the reality of that statement. :) Thanks again for the inspiring comment @valued-customer
